POWER OF EXAMPLE.
REV.
DR. TALMAGE ON THE LESSON
OF ABIMELECH.
The Folly of Depending Vpon One Form
of Tactics- The Advantage of Concerted
Action —The Danger of Falne Kefuge*—A
I
Safe Tower.
Washington, Jau. 2G.—In his sermon
for today Rev. Dr. Tahuage took for his
subject ‘‘The Power of Example. ” The
text selected was Judges 9, 48: “And
Abimelech took an ax in his hand and
cut down a bough from the trees and
took it aud laid it on his shoulder and
said unto the people that were with
him, What yo have seen me do make
haste and do as I have done. And all
the people likewise cut down every man
his bough. ”
Abimelech is a name malodorous in
Bible history aud yet full of profitable
suggestion. Buoys are black and un
comely, but they tell where the rocks
are. The snake’s rattle is hideous, but
it gives timely warning. Fntn the pi
azza of my summer homen’iht by night
I saw a lighthouse 15 miles away, not
placed there for adornment, but to tell
mariners to stand off from that danger
ous point. So all the iron bound coast
of moral danger is marked with Saul
and Herod and Rehoboam and Jezebel
and Abimelech. These bad people are
mentioned in the Bible not only as
warnings, but because there were some
times flashes of good conduct in their
lives worthy of imitation. God some
times drives a very straight nail with a
very poor hammer.
The city of Shechem had to be taken,
and Abimelech and his men were to do
it. I see the dust rolling up from their
excited march. I hear the shouting of
the captains aud the yell of the besieg
ers. The swords clack sharply on the
parrying shields, aud the vociferation
of two armies in death grapple is horri
ble to hear. The battle goes on all day,
and as the sun is setting Abimelech and
his army cry “Surrender!” to the beat
en foe, and, unable longer to resist, the
city of Shechem falls, and there are
pools of blood aud dissevered limbs and
glazed eyes looking up beggingly for
mercy that war never shows, and dying
soldiers with their head on the lap of
mother or wife or sister, who have come
out for the last offices of kindness and
affection, and a groan rolls across the
city, stopping not, because there is no
spot for it to rest, so full is the place of
other groans. A city wounded! A city
dying! A city dead! Wail for Shechem,
all ye who know the horrors of a sacked
town.
A Strange Army.
As I look over the city I find only one
building standing, and that is the tem
ple of the god Berith. Home soldiers
outside of the city in a tower, finding
that they can no longer defend Shechem,
now begin to look out for their own
personal safety, aud they fly to this
temple of Berith. They go within the
Idoor, shut it, aud they say: “Now we
are safe. Abimelech has taken the whole
city, but he cannot take this temple of
Berith. Hero wo shall be under the pro
tection of the gods.” O Berith, the
god, do your best now for these refugees.
If you have eyes, pity them. If you
have hands, help them. If you have
thunderbolts, strike for them. But how
shall Abimelech aud his army take this
temple of Berith and the men who are
there fortified? Will they do it with the
sword? Nay. Will they do it with the
spear? Nay. With the battering ram
rolled up by hundred armed strength
crashing against the walls? Nay. Abim
elech marches his men to a wood in
Zalmon. With his ax he hews off a
limb of a tree aud puts that limb upon
his shoulder, and then he says to his
men, “Yon do the same.”
They are obedient to their command
er. There is a struggle as to who shall
have axes. The whole wood is full of
bending boughs, and the crackling and
the hacking, and the cutting, until ev
ery one of the host has a limb of a tree
cut down, and not only that, but has
put it on his shoulder just as Abimelech
showed him how. Are those men all
armed with the tree branch? The reply
comes, “All armed.” And they march
on. Oh, what a straugo army, with that
strange equipment! They come up to
the foot (jf the temple at Berith, aud
Abimelech takes his limb of a tree and
throws it down, aud the first platoon of
soldiers come up, and they throw down
their branches, and the second platoon,
and the third, until all around about the
temple of Berith there is a pile of tree
branches. The Shechomites look out
from the window of the temple upon
what seems to them childish play on the
part of their enemies. But soon the
flints are struck, and the spark begins
to kindle the brush, and the flame comes
up all through the pile, and the red ele
ments leap to the casement, and the
woodwork begins to blaze, and one arm
of flame is thrown up on the right side
of the temple, and another arm of flame
is thrown up on the left side of the tem
ple, until they clasp their lurid palms
under the wild night sky, and the cry of
“Fire!” within aud “Fire!” without
announces the terror, and the strangula
tion, and the doom of the Bhecbemites,
and the complete overthrow of the tem
ple of the god Berith. Then there went
up a shout, long and loud, from the
stout longs and swarthy chests of Abim
elech aud his men as they stood amid
the ashes and the dust crying, “Victory,
victory!”
Forms of Tactics.
Now I learn first from this subject
the folly of depending upon any one
form of tactics In anything we have to
do for this world or fur God. Lx>k over
the weaponry of olden times—javelins,
battloaxos, habergeons, and show^oe a
•ingle weapon with which Abj
aud his men could have ga
ccmplete triumph. It is no el
to take a temple thus armed
seen a house where, during R
ary times, a man-and hi
re, ““
house. Yet hero Abimelech and his
army come up, they surround this tem
ple, aud they capture it without tho lu:-s
of a single man on the part of Abime
lech, although I suppt;.-e seme of the old
Israelitish heroes told Ahimelech, “Y< ti
are only going np t’icte to b,: at to
pieces.” Yet you arc willing to t ify
today that by no t!;cr mode—c< . uonly
not by ordinary m dcs—could that tem
ple so easily, so thoroughly, have b»: n
taken. Fathers aud mothers, brethren
and sisters in Jesus Christ, what the
church must wants to learn this day is
that any plan is right, is lawful, is best,
which helps to overthrow the temple of
sin aud capture this world for God. We
are very apt to stick to tho old modes of
attack. We put on the old stylo coat of
mail. We come up with the sharp, keen,
glittering steel spear of argument, ex
pecting in that way to take the castle,
but they have a thousand spears where
we have ten. Aud so the castle of sin
stands. Oh, my friends, we will never
capture this world for God by any keen
saber of sarcasm, by any glittering lances
of rhetoric, by any sauping and mining
of profound disquisition, by any gun-
powdery explosions of indignation, by
sharpshootings of wit, by howitzers of
mental strength made to swing shell
five miles, by cavalry horses gorgeously
caparisoned pawing the air. In vain all
the attempts on the part of these ecclesi
astical foot soldiers, light horsemen and
grenadiers.
My friends, I propose a different
style of tactics. Let each ono go to the
forest of God’s promise and invitation
aud hew down a branch and put it on
his shoulder, and let us all come around
those obsti^deiniquities, and then with
this pile kindled by the fires of a holy
zeal aud tho flames of a consecrated life
we will burn them out. What steel can
not do, fire may. And I announce myself
in favor of any plan of religious attack
that succeeds—any plan of religious at
tack, however radical, however odd,
however unpopular, however hostile to
all conventionalities of church and state.
If one stylo of prayer does not do tho
work, let us try another style. If the
church music of today does not g< t tho
victory, then let us make the assault
with a backwoods chorus. If a prayer
meeting at half past 7 in tho evening
does not succeed, let us have ono as
early in the morning as when tho angel
found wrestling Jacob too much for
him. If a sermon with tbreo authorized
heads does not do the work, then let us
have a sermon with 20 heads or no
heads at all. We want more heart in mu-
song, more heart in our almsgiving,
more heart in our prayers, more heart
in our preaching.
A Blood K(>d Fact.
Oil, for less of Abimelech’s sword and
more of Abimelech’s conflagration! I
had often heard
There is a fountain iilletl with blood
sung nrlistically by four birds perched
on their Sunday roost in tho gallery un
til I thought of Jenny Lind and Nilsson
and Sontag and all the other warblers, i
but there came not ono tear to my eye
nor ono master emotion to my heart.
But one night I went down to the Afri
can Methodist meeting house in Phila
delphia, and at tint close of tho service
a black woman in the middle < f I ho au
dience begun to sing that hymn, and all
the audience joined in, and we were
floated some tim e or four miles nearer
l heaven than I have over been since. I
saw with my own eyes that “fountain
filled with blood”—red, agonizing, sac
rificial, redemptive—and 1 la aid the
I crimson plash of the wave a.; we all
went down under it.
For sinners plunged beneath that flood
Loso all their guilty stains.
Oh, my friends, tho gospel is not a
syllogism; it is not casuistry; it is not
polemics, or the science of squabbles. It
is blood red fact; it is warm hearted in-
; vitutiou; it is leaping, bound, ig, flying
good news; it is ollloresceut with all
light; it is ruluscent with all summery
glow; it is arboimceut with all sweet
shade. I have seen the sun ri: non Mount
Washington, and front thi)Tii,!i.p House,
but there was no beauty in that com
pared with the dayspring from on high
when Christ gives light toasoul. .1 have
heard Parepa sing, but tluro was no
music in that compared with tlie voice
of Christ when he said, “Thy sins are
forgiven thee; go in peace.” Good
news! Let everyone cut down a branch
of this tree of life and w ave it. Let him
throw it down and kindle it. Let all tho
way from Mount Zalmon to Shechem be
filled with tho tossing joy. Good news 1
This bonfire of tho gospel shall consume
the last temple of sin, and will illumine
tho sky with apocalyptic joy, that Jesus
Christ came into the world to save sin
ners. Any new plan that makes a man
quit his sin, aud that prostrates a wrong,
I am as much in favor of as though all
the doctors, aud tho bishops, and the
archbishops, and the synods, aud tho
academical gownsmen of Christianity
sanctioned it. The temp 1 of Berith
must como down, aud I do r .ire how
it conies.
The Power of ExHiupltt.
Still further I learn from this subject
the power of example. If Abimelech
had sat down on the grass and told his
men to go and get the boughs and go
out to the buttle, they would never have
gone at all, or if they had it would have
been withou any spirit or effective re
sult, but when Abimelech goes w ith his
own ax and hews down a branch and
with Abimeleeh's arm puts it on Abim-
elech’s shoulder and inarches on, then,
my text says, all the people did tho
same. How natural that was! What
made Garibaldi aud Stonewall Jackson
tho most magnetic commanders of this
century? They always rode ahead. Oh,
tho overwhelming power of example!
Here is a father on tho wrong road.
All his boys go on the wrong road.
Here is a father who enlists for Christ.
His children enlist. 1 saw in some of
tho picture galleries of Europe that be
fore many of the great works of the
masters, tho old masters, there would be
■ometiines four and five artists taking

YOU
If you want ofhe
him yourself. If
want others to si: aider their duty,
uhou'.der yours.
Where Abimelech goes
his troops go. Oil, start out for heaven
today, and jour family will come after ,
you, and your business associates will
come after you, and your social friends
will join you. With ono branch of the
tree of life for a baton, marshal just as
many as you can gather. Oh, the infi
nite, the semiomuipotent power of a good
or bad example!
I saw last summer, near tho beach, a
wrecker’s machine. It was a cylinder
with some holes at tho side, made for
the thrusting in of some long poles with
strong leverage, and when there is any
vessel in trouble or going to pieces in
tho offing, the wreckers shoot a rope .out
to the suffering men. They grasp it, and
tho wreckers turn the cylinder, and tho
rope winds around the cylinder, and
those who are shipwrecked are saved.
So at your feet, today, there is an influ
ence with a tremendous leverage. The
rope attached to it swings far out into
tho billowy future. Your children, your
children’s children, and all the genera
tions that are to follow will grip that
influence and feel the long reaching
pull long after the figures on your tomb
stone are so near worn out that the vis
itor cannot tell whether it was 189G or
179G or 1G9G that yon died.
Concerted Action.
Still further I learn from this subject
tho advantage of concerted action. If
Abimelech had merely gone out with a
tree branch, the work would not have
been accomplished, or if 10, 20 or GO
men had gone, but when all the axes are
lifted and all tho sharp edges fall, and
ail these men carry each his tree branch
down and throw it about the temple,
the victory is gained—the temple falls.
My friends, where there is one man in
the chr.reh of God at this day shoulder
ing his whole duty there are a great
many who never lift an ax or swing a
hough. It seems to mo as if there were
ten drones in every hive to one busy
boo: as though there were 20 sailors
sound asleep in tho ship’s hammocks to
4 men on tho stormy deck. It seems
as it there were 50,000 men belonging
to tho reserve corps, and only 1,000 ac
tive combatants. Oh, we all want our
boats to get over to tho golden sands,
but tho must of us are seated either in
the prow or in tho stern, wrapped in
our striped shawl, holding a big handled
sunshade, while others are blistered in
the beat and pull until the oarlocks
groan and the blades bend till they
snap. Oh, you religious sleepyheads,
wake up! You have lain so long in ono
place that the ants and caterpillars have
begun to crawl over you! What do you
know, my brother, about a living gospel
madoto storm the world? Now, my idea
of a Christian is a man on lire with zeal
for God, and if your pulse ordinarily
beat.; GO times a minute when you think
of other themes and talk about other
themes, if your puLe does not go up to
75 or SO wl; n yon come to talk about
Christ and l eaven, it is because you do
not know the one, and have a poor
chance of g. ting to tho other.
In a former charge one Sabbath I
took into tli.' pulpit the church records,
aud I laid i in on tho pulpit and open
ed th-ni and said: “Brethren, here are
the church records. I find a great many
of yon whoso names are down here are
off duty, ” Some were afraid 1 would
read tho names, for at that time some
of them were deep in tho worst kind of
oil stocks and were idle as to Christian
work. But -f ministers of Christ today
should bring tho church records into tho
pulpit mid read, oh, what a flutter there
would he! There would not bo fan.,
enough in church to keep the cheeks
cool. I do not know but it would bo a
good ibing if tho minister once in
awhile shou.d bring the church records
in the pulpit and call tho roll, for that
is what 1 consider every church record
to he—merely a muster roll of the Lord’s
army—and the reading of it should re
veal where every soldier is and what he
is doing.
Call the Roll.
Suppose in military circles on the
morning of battle the roll was called,
mid out of 1,000 men only 100 men in tho
regiment mis vered. What excitement
there would be in the camp! What
would tho colonel say? What high talk
ing there would be among tho captains
and majors and the adjutants. Suppose
word came to headquarters that these
d< linquonts excused themselves on the
ground that they had overslept them
selves, or the morning was damp aud
they were afraid of getting their feet
wet, or that they were busy cooking ra
tions. My friends, this is the morning
of the day of God Almighty’s battle. Do
you not tee ihe troops? Hear yo not all
tlie trumpets of heaven and all tho
drums of bell? Whii-li side are you on?
If you mo on the right side, to what
cavalry troop, to what artillery service,
to what garrison duly do you bolon ?
In other words, in what Sabbath school
do you teach? In what prayer meeting
do you exhort? To what penitentiary do
you declare eternal liberty? To what
almshouse do you announce the riches
of h Jjp^u? What broken bone of sorrow-
huvtfyou ever set? Are you doing noth
ing? Js it possible that a man or woman
sworn to he a follower of Jesus Christ
is doing nothing? Then hide tho horri
ble secret from the angels. Keep it away
from the book of judgment. If yon are
doing nothing, do not lot tho world find
it out, lest they charge your religion
with being a false face. Do not let your
cowardice aud treason be heard among
the martyrs about tho throne, lest they
forget the sanctity of tho place mid de
nounce your betrayal of that, cause for
which they agonized and died.
May the eternal God rouse us all to
action! \s for myself, J feel I would ho
atimuiod to die now and enter heaven
more decisive for the Lord that bought
me. Oh, brethren, how swift)v the time
goes by ! It seems to mo as it the years
had gained some new power of lo omo-
tion—a kind of speed electric.
The temple of Berith is very broad,
and it is very high. It has been going
up by the hands of men and devils, aud
no human engineering can demolish it,
but if the 70,000 ministers of Christ in
this country should each take a branch
of the tree of life, and all their congre
gations should do the same, and we
should march on and throw these
branches ainurd the great temples of sin
aud world line;:-; aud folly, it would need
no match or coal or torch of ours to
touch off the pile, for, as in the days of
Elijah, fire would fall from heaven aud
kindle the bonfire of Christian victory
over demolished sin.
One Safe Kefuge.
Still further, Hearn from this subject
the danger of false refuges. As soon as
these Shechemites got into the temple
they thought they were safe. They said:
“Berith will take care of us. Abimelech
may batter down everything else. He
cannot batter down this temple where
we are now hid. ” But very soon they
heard the limbers crackling, aud they
were smothered with smoke, and they
miserably died. I suppose every person
in this audience this moment is stepping
into some kind of refuge. Hero you stop
in the tower of good works. You say, “I
shall be safe in this refuge.” Tho bat
tlements are adorned; tho steps are var
nished; on the wall are pictures of all
the suffering you have alleviated, and
all the schools you have established,
and all the fine things you have ever
done. Up in that tower you feel you are
safe. But hear you not the tramp of your
unpardoned sins all around the tower?
They each have a match. You are kin
dling the combustible material. You
feel the heat aud the suffocation. Oh,
may you leap in time, the gospel de
claring, “By tho deeds of the law shall
no flesh living bo justified.”
“Well,” yon say, “I have been driven
out of that tower. Where shall I go?”
Step into this tower of indifference.
You say, “If this tower is attacked, it
will be a great while before it is taken.”
You feel at ease. But there is an Abim
elech with ruthless assault coming
on. Death and his forces are gathering
around, and they demand that you sur
render everything, aud they clamor for
your overthrow, aud they throw’ their
skeleton arms in tho window, and with
their iron fists they boat against the
door, and while you are trying to keep
them out you see tho torches of judg
ment kindling, and every forest is a
torch and every mountain a torch and
every sea a torch, aud while tho Alps
and Pyrenees aud Himalayas turn into a
live coal, blown redder and redder by
tho whirlwind breath of a God omnipo
tent, what will become of your refuge
of lies?
“But,” says some one, “you are en
gaged in a very mean business, driving
ns from tower to tower. ” Oh, no. I
want to tell you of a Gibraltar that
never has been and never will bo taken,
of a wall that no satanic assault car
scale, of a bulwark that tho judgment
earthquakes cannot bndge. The Bible
refers to it when it says, “In God is thy
refuge, and underneath thee are tho
everlasting arms.” Oh, fling yourself
into it. Tread down unceremoniously
everything that intercepts you. Wedge
your way there. There are enough
hounds of death aud peril after you to
make you hurry. Many a man has per
ished just outside the tower with his
foot on the step, with his hand on the
latch. Oh, get inside. Not one surplus
second have you to spare. Quick! Quick!

Weather Almanacs.
Some of those almanacs rose to a great
popularity on tho strength of ono lucky
guess, aud 1 think it is told of Par
tridge’s almanac, or some other of the
class, that it owed its reputation to a
curious prophecy of extraordinary weath
er for July 111, when hail, rain, snow,
thunder, etc., were freely indicated.
Forgetting that the mouth had 81 days,
tho almanac maker had omitted to in
sert tho weather prediction for the last
day, and a boy was sent from tho print
ing ofiico to know how the space was to
bo filled up. Tho weather prophet was
too busy to attend to him, but at last in
a passion said, “Put down hail, rain,
snow, thunder, anything,” and tho boy,
taking it literally, told the compositor,
whodulysot into typo tho extraordinary
prediction, and which by a freak of na
ture came true and made tho fame aud
fortune of the almanac maker. This
story, if not true, is at Hast hen trovato
and shows tho force of tho bard’s state
ment :
Our indiscretion sometimes serves us well
When our deep plots do pall.
Patrick Murphy published a popular
weather aim .nac, aud his fame is said
to have commenced by a lucky hit in
ono of the earlier issues by which he in
dicated which would bo the coldest day
of tho year. There is a copy of this al
manac for 1838 in the library of this so
ciety, aud some former owner has evi
dently taken tho trouble to pencil in the
actual weather opposite to that predict
ed. There were, according to this anno
tation, 89 ii.correct forecasts, 91 doubt
ful and tho rest correct.
This Patrick Murphy was not a mere
charlatan. He had a system, and, though
he differed from Sir Isaac Newton and
the Royal Astronomical society, he gave
much study aud research to the subject
of meteorole ty, as sbov/n by his various
books. The.owasan Astro-Meteorolog

TRIMMING HIDES.
The Tanner’ii Trim as Adopted by the
Tanners’ Hide and Leather Association.
The hide houses are crowded with
country hides which the tanners refuse
to take because they are not properly
trimmed. Tanners, butchers and dealers
ought all strive to improve the condi
tion of hides and skins for market. With
a view to assisting in this improvement
is here reproduced from the Chicago
Hide and Leather an illustration show
ing the usual form and trim of a hide
taken off by country butchers, along
with directions for the tanner’s trim.
The “tanner’s trim,” as adopted by
the Tanners’ Hide and Leather associa
tion of the United States, is shown by

tho dotted lines, indicating what should
bo taken off, and the letters a and b
show bad form in skinning. In tho tan
ner’s trim these instructions are ob
served :
Take off lower jaw anil upper lip behind the
nostrils.
The pato between the eyes.
The horns and ears.
The cheek, when throat is cut across.
Tlie fore lea’s at the knee.
The hind le;,’s midway between knee and
dew daws, or higher up when cut across.
All tags caused by unskilled skinning. (See
dotted lines.)
The points marked “a” should appear at
“b” if properly skinned.
The parts marked to be out off are
worthless to the I aimer, but have a value
for glue stock, yet from distant points
this value would not equal the cost of
freight. Butchers will see how a large
part of the trim on this Irde would ho
avoided by care in skinning. The trim
is nearly the same as has been made in
Now York for years. All foreign hides
aud some western are trimmed even
closer than this.
It will increase tlie popularity of any
regular shipper to put them in this
shape, and a considerable saving of
freight will be made and risk of damage
avoided. The tanners are demanding it
shall be done.
Some other points of importance may
be mentioned here. Sunburned hides
cause much loss. It is believed that this
occurs in the first 24 hours after a hide
is taken off. If butchers will leave hides
spread out in shade for that time before
hanging up, it may be avoided. Scored,
grubby, fallen and badly branded hides
are more and more avoided by tanners.
In New York all such hides go at one-
third off. The western hides will soon
have to conform to some rule
