A Sormon That niouMy Coacprim This T.ife, Vet Spiritual aud I’liyMical Crnd'* tiuuH Are Largely Dcpcmlcnt Upon Kach Other. Washington, Ll.iy ir>.—Dr. Tal- Biagc's Ecruiou cf today liaa more to do v itli this iifo than tlio iifo to como and Nvili bo a warning against all forms of dissipation. Text, Proverbs vii, 2u, “Till a dart strike through his liver.” Solomon’s anatomical and physiolog ical discoveries were so very gnait that he was nearly 8,000 years ahead of the scientists cf his day. He, mere than 1.000 years before Christ, seemed to know about the em ulation of the blood, which Harvey discovered 1,019 years after Christ, for when Solomon in Ec- clesiastes, describing the himian body, speaks of the pitcher at the fountain he evidently means the three canals lead ing from the heart that receive the* blood like pitchers. When he speaks in Ecclesiastes of the silver cord of life, be evidently means the spinal marrow, about which in onr day Drs. Mayo and Carpenter and Dalton and Flint and Brown-fc'eqnard have experimented. And Solomon recorded in the Bible, thousands cf years before scientists dis covered it, that in his time the spinal cord relaxed in old age, producing the tivmoro cf hand and head, ‘‘or the sti ver cord be loosed.” In the text he reveals thofact that he had studied that largest gland of the human system, the liver, not by the electric light of the modern dissecting room, but by t!:e dim light cf a com paratively dark ago, and yc t had seen its important fune.ions in the God built castle of the human body, its selecting and secreting power, its curious cells, its elorgatod branching tubes, a divine workman'■hip in <vmral and right and left lobe and the hepatic artt ry through which f.ov the crimson tides.

We may a - well r< eogniae I h< tremendous fact that tlieio i-.i!' two mighty fortre -nin the huiaan body, t :«• heart and the liver, th<* heart the for tress of tlio graces, the liver the fortn -s of tho furies. Yen may have tiie he id. filled with all nm lleotualitii-s, and tie- car with all ini-ieal appreciation, and the car with all musical appr uat ion. and tho mouth with all eloqmure, aim the hand with all industries, and the heart with all generosities, and yet “a dart strike through the liver.” First, let Christian people avoid tho mistake that they are all wrong with God because they suffer from dep: eiou of spirits. Many a consecrated man has found his spiritual sky hetoggfd and liis I’.opo of hr aven blotted out and himself plunged chin deep in the slough of despond and has said: ‘‘My heart is not right with God, and I think I must have made jt mistake and instead of be ing a child of light I am a child of darkness. No one can feci as gloomy as I feel and bo a Christian.” And lie has gone to hi:; minister for consolation, and he has collected Flav. 1's books and (Jo- oil’s books and Baxter’s Looks and read and read and read and prayed and pray ed and prayed cud wept and wept and wept and groaned and groaned and groaned. *. 1 y brother, your tioublo is not with the heart; i'. is a gastric disor der or a rebellion of the liver. Yon need a physician more than you do a clergyman. It is not sin that blots out yotr hope of heaven, hut bile. It not only yellows your eyeballs, and furs your tongue, and makes your head ache, but swoops upon your soul in dejections and forebodings, ‘inedevil it; after you. He has failed to despoil your character, and lie docs tho next best thing for him —iie rnilles your peace of mind. Wlr u he unys that you arc notuinrgiveu soul, when he Rays you are not right with God, when he Bays that you will never r ^ heaven, he lies. If you are in Christ vou aro^ust as sure of heaven ms thoughVouwere there already. But Ka tun, liufling that he cannot keep you out of tho promised land of Canaan, has determined that tho spies si,all not bring you any cf the Esehnl grapes bo- forehand, r.ud that you shall have noth ing but prickly pear and crabapplc. Yon are just as much a Christian now under tho cloud as you were when you were accustomed to rise in the morning at 5 o'clock to pray and sing “Hallelu iah, ’tis done!” I.Iy friend, Rev. Dr. Joseph F. Jones of Philadelphia, a translated spirit now, wrote a book entitled, “Man, Moral and Physical,” in which he shows how- dif ferent tho sumo tlii.igs may appear to different people. He says: “After tho great battle on the Mineio ip 1859, be- j tween the French and the b'ardinians on the one side and the Austrians on the other, so disastrous to the latter, the defeated army retreated, followed by the victors. A description of the 1 march of each army is given by two correspondents of the Loudon Times, cue cf whom traveled with the success ful host, the other with tho defeated. The difference in views and statements I cf the same place, scenes and events is i remarkable. The former are said to be marching through a beautiful and lux uriant country during the day and at night encamping where they are sup plied with an abundance of the best previsions and all sorts of rural dain ties. There is nothing of war about the ( proceeding except its s»iinulus and ex citement. On tho side of the poor Aus- , trians it is just the reverse. In his let- ter of the same date, describing the same places and a march over tho same road, the writer can scarcely find words , to set fortli the suffering, impatience and disgust existing around him. What , was pleasant to the fi rmer was intolcr- j able to the latter. What made all this , difference? asks the author. ‘One coirli- I tion only. Tlio French are victorious, the Austrians have been defeated.’ ” Result of Black Bile. So, my dear brother, the road you are traveling is the same you have been | traveling a long while, but the differ- j euoc in your physical conditions makes 1 it look different, and therefore tho 1 two repents you have given of yourself are as widely different as the reports in ; the London Times from the two cor- j respondents. Edward Pay son, some times so far up on the mount that it s< < rued as if the centripetal force of earth could no longci hold him, some times through a physical disorder was so far down that it seemed as if tho in tlier world would clutch him. Poor William Cov.pcr was a most excellent Christian ami will bo loved in the Christian church as long as it sings his hymns beginning, “There is a fountain filled with Mood,” “Oh, for n closer walk with Go;!,” “What various hin drances wo. meet” and “(Sod moves in a mysterious way. ” Yet woo he so over come of melancholy or black bile that it was only through tho mistake of the ca'n driver who took him to a wrong , place, instead cf the river bank, that he did not commit suicide. t'p'it itaul condition so mightily affect- | ed by the physical state, what a great opportunity this give:- to tho Christian j pii.> sieian, lor he can reel at the same tin e l oth tlie pulse of tho body and the | pah'* el - the soul, and he can administer 1 to L< ih at me.', and if medicine is need ed he can give that, and if spiritual ' <. aii -ol is »:> (diil he can give that—an | catthly t: d a divine prescription at the | saute tinu—ami call on not only the I upoiliica.ry i f earth, hut tho pharmacy ' c?

My object ut this point i not < uly (g emolliatc tliw criticisms of these iugood liealtli against those in poor health, hut to show Christian people who are atra bilious what is the matter with them. Do not charge against the heart thu crimes of another portion of your organ ism. Do not conclude that because the path to heaven i; not arbored with ns line a foliage cr the banks beautifully snowed with exquisite chrysanthemums as once, that therefore you are on the wrong road. The road will bring you out at tin* same gate, whether you walk with the stride cf tsa athlete or come up on crutches. Thousands of Chris tians, morbid about their experiences and morbid about their business and morbid about the present and morbid about the future, need the sermon 1 am now preaching. Another practical use of this subject is for the young. The theory is abroad that they must lirst sow their wild oats and afterward Michigan wheat. Let me break the delusion. Wild oats are generally sown in the liver, and they can never be pulled up. They to preoc cupy that organ that there is no room for the implantation of a righteous crop. You see aged men about us at 80 erect, agile, splendid, grand old men. How much wild oats did they sow between 18 years and .'10' None, absolutely none. God ciocy not very often honor with old ace those who have in early life sarri- | fiel d swiiio on the altar of the bodily temple. Remember, O young man, that, J while in after life and after years cf | dissipation you may perhaps have your in art chauptid, religion dots not change the liver. Trembling and staggering along these streets today are men, all ! bout and decayed and prematurely old for the reason that they are paying for liens they put upon their physical estate before they were 80. By early diasip-a- ! tion they put on their body a first mort- ! gage and a second mortgage and a third ; mortgage to the devil, and these inert- ! gages are now being foreclosed, and all ' that remains of their earthly estate the undertaker will soon put out of sight. Many years ago, in fulfillment of my text, a dart struck through their liver, and it is there yet. God forgives, but ' outraged physical law never, never, never. That has a Sinai, but no Cal vary. Solomon in my text knew what he was talking about, and ho rises up on his tlmme of worldly splendor to shriek out a warning to all the cen turies. Stephen A. Douglas gave tho name of “squatter sovereignty” to those wh > went out wist and took possession e.f lands and held them by right of preoc- ; eupatiou. Let a flock cf sins settle on your liver before you get to 25 years cf age, and they will in all probability keep possession of* it by an infernal ! squatter sovereignty. “I promise to pay at the bank §500 six n ouths from date,” says the prcuiDsory note. “I promise to pay my life 80 years from date at the lank of the grave,” says every infraction of the laws of your physical being. Liver Conijitalats. What? Will a man’s body never cora- pl. iely recover from early dissipation ! in tins world? Nevir. Hmv about tho i world to come? Perhaps God will fix it ; up in the resnrr. ctiou body s:o that it j will in ; have to go limping through all eternity. But gee the liver thoroughly damaged, and it will stay damaged as long as you are lure. Physicians call it cirrho-is c.i the liver cr inflammation of the liver or fatty dcgch*. ration cf tho livir, but Solomon puts all these pangs into one figure and says, “Till u dart j strike through his liver.” Hcsit d seemed to have some hint of this when he leprescuti d PinmethcmiJ for his crimes fastened to a pillar and an eagle feeding on his liver, whi-h was renewed again each night, so that j the devouring went on until finally Hercules slew the c-nglo and rescued ! Prcmi thea.s. And a dissipated early life asstuvs a ferocity pecking aw^y and clawing away at tin* liver year iu and i year eat, ana death is the only Hereulc:< ! who can break the power of its beak ci t unclench its claw. .So, also, others wrote fables about vultures preying ■ upon the liver, but there are those hen ; with whom it is no fa Lie, hut a teirilh | reality. . That young man smoking cigarettes ! and smoking cigars lias no idea that he is getting for himself smoked liver, j That young man has no idea that he has by early dissipation so depleted his , i nergies that ho will go into the battle only half armed. Here is another young | man who, if he put all his forces j against the ngimeut of youthful temp tations in the strength of God, might | drive them bad:, but he is allowing ; tl ::i to b ■ re-i uforced by the whole tuiay cf midlife temptations, and what bar immortal dcluit can await him? nil, my yeiu.g brother, do not make ; tb • uii tnke that thousands are making in <[ ring t ic hat tie against sin too late, p r tbk'Wi rid too lute, and for the j v.i ilc to eouie too lute!

Tlu re is a kind of sickness that is beautiful when it cornea from overwork for God, or one’s country, or cue’s own familv. I have seen wounds that were glorious. I have seen an empty sleeve that w s mere beautiful than the most muscular forearm. I have seen a preen shade over tno eye, shot out in battle, that was more beautiful than any two eyis that had passed without injury. I have seen an old missionary, worn out with the malaria of African jungles, who leaked to me more radiant than a rubicund gymnast. I have seen a moth er, after six weeks’ watching over a family of children down with scarlet fever, with a glory around her pale and wan face that surpassed the angelic. It ail depends on how you got your sick- mss and in what battle your wounds. If wc must get sick and worn out, let it be iu God’s service and in the effort to make the world good. Not in rho service of sin. No, no! One of the most pathetic scenes that I ever witness, and I often see it, is that of men or women converted in the fifties or sixties cr sev enties want ig to be useful, but they so served the world and satau iu the ear lier part of their life that tin y have no physical energy loft for the service cf God. They sacrificed nerves, muse lee, lungs, heart and liver on the wrong al tar. They fought on the wrong side, and now, when their sword is all hack ed up and their ammunition all gone, they enlist for Emmanuel. When the high mettled cavalry horse, which that man spurred into many a cavalry charge with champing bit and flaming eye and nock clothed with thunder, is worn cut and spavined and ringboued and spring halt, he rides up to the great Captain cf our salvation on the white horse and offers his services. When such persons might have hern, through the good hab its of a lifetime, crushing their battle- ax through the hclmeted iniquities, they are .‘ pending their days and nights in discussing the best way of curing their indigestion, and quieting their jangling nerves, and rousing their lag- gurd appetite, and trying to extract the dart from their outraged liver. Better converted late than never. Oh, yes, lor they will get to heaven! But they will go afoot when they might have wheeled up the steip hills of the sky in Elijah’s chariot. There is an old hymn ’hat wo used to sing in the country meeting bouse when I was a Ley, and I remeui- bi r how the old folks' voices tiviuMed with i motion while they sang it. 1 have forgotten ail bat two lines, but thoso lines are the peroration of my sermon: Twill m;vi' us froia a tfiousand anurca To mind religion yuan..: i!
