Washington, July 11.—This dis-
rnurso of Ur. Talma^o, foumlod on a
Ktraii^i* firene of oldm tiinp, hIiowk that
frantl Nvill romo to exposure, if not in
this world then in the next. Text, I
Samuel xv, 14, “And Samuel said, What
xueuueth thru this Ideating of tne slut p
in minct ur.-: and the lowing of thi 1 oxen
which I hear?”
The Aiuah kites thought they had
couijuer* d <*od and that he would not
carry ii.;o < xeeuliou his tlireats against
them. They had murdered the Israelites
in liattle and out of battle and left
no outrage untried. For 4f' , > years
this had been going on, and they say,
“God either dare not punish us or
ho has forgotten to do so.” Lit us
see. Samuel, God’s prophet, tells
Saul to go down and slay ail the Amul-
ekites, not leaving one of them alive,
also to destroy all the beasts in their
possession—ox, sheep, came] and ass.
Hark, 1 In ar the tread of 210,OoO men,
with monstrous Haul at their head,
ablaze with armor, Ids shi. ld dangling
at his side, holding in Ins hand a spear,
at the waving of which the great host
marched or halted. 1 see smoke curling
against the sky. Now there is a thick
cloud of it, and now 1 sisr the whole
city rising in a chariot of smoke behind
steeds of lire, it is .Saul that set the city
ablaze. The Amalekites and Isr.a liie.r
iu<«'t; the trumpets of battle blow peal
on peal, and there is a death hush.
Then there is a signal waved, swords
cut and haek, javelins ring on .--hields,
arms fall from trunks and heads roll
into tlie dust. Gash afti r gash, the
frenzied yell, the gurgling of throttled
throats, the cry of pain, the laugh of
revenge, th< curse hissed between
clinched teeth—au army’s death groan.
Stacks of dead on all side*, with eyes
unshut and mouths yet grinning ven
geance. Huzza lor the Israelites! Two
hundred and ten thousand men wave
their plumes and clap tin ir shields, for
the Lord God hath given them the vic
tory.
C-xtr* rant
Yet that victorious army of Israel is
conquered by sheep and oxt.n. God,
throng!) tho pioplu t Samuel, told Saul
to slay till the Amah kites and to slay
all the beasts in their possession, but
Hard, thinking that he knows more than
God, saves Agag, the AmaJekitid) king,
and live drove of sheep and a herd of
or.< n that lie cannot bear to kill. Haul
times the sheep and ox< n down toward
Acinic. He lias no idea that Samuel, the
prophet, will find out that he has saved
these sheep and cxeij for himself. Horn
uel comes and asks Haul the news from
the battle. Haul puts on a solemn face,
for there is no one who can look more
solemn than y< ur genuine hypocrite,
and he says, “I have fulfilled the com
mand of the Lord. ” Hatiiui'l listens, and
be hears die drove of sheep a little way
off. H al Inal !m idea that the prophet's
ear would be so acute. Hanna 1 says to
Haul, ‘‘if vou have done as God told
you and slain ail tho Amalekites mulnll
the beasts in th-ir pe-•<-don, wh it
meuneth the bleating of the sheep in
mine ears and the lowing of the oxen
that I hear?” Ah, one would have
thought that blushes would have con
sumed the elieek of Haul. No, no! He
says the army—not himself, of course,
but the army—had saved the sheep and
oxen for saeriliee. and then they thought
it would be too bad anyhow to kill
Agag, the Amalekitish king. Samuel
takes the sword, and he slashes Agag to
pieces, and then he takes tin* skirt of
Ids coat in true oriental style and r< mis
it in twain, as much as to say, “ You,
Haul, just like that, shall be torn away
from your empire and torn away from
your throne.” In other words, let all
the nations of the earth In ar the story
that Haul, by disobeying God, won a
flock of sheep, but lost a kingdom.
I learn from this subject that God
will expose hypocrisy. Hi re Haul pre
tends he has fulfilled the divine commis
sion by slaying all the beasts belonging
to tho Amalekites, and yet at tho very
moment he is telling Use story and prac
ticing the delusion the s (Tetyoun s out,
and th<* sheep bleat and the* oxen bellow.
A hypocrite is one who pretends to be
what ho is not or to do what he does
not. Haul was only a typo of a class.
The modern hypocrite looks awfully
solemn, whines win n he jiinys ami oui-
ing }’ : a p’d'Ho devotion shows si {yr-at
deal of the whites of his eyes. He never
laughs, or, if he does laugh, he seems
sorry for it afterward, as though he hud
committed some great indiscretion.
The lirs' tine* be gets a chance ht prays
20 minutes in public, and when he ex
horts he seems to imply that all the
race are sinners, with one exception,
his modesty forbidding the stating who
that one is. There are a great many
churches that huvi two er thr e ecclesi
astical Uriah Jlecps,
The HyjMMTlte.
When th** fox begins to pray, lookout
for your chickens. The mere genuine
religion a man haa tho more (o.i/ort-
uble ho will be, but you may know a
religious impostor by the fact that he
prides himself on being uncomfortable.
A man of that kind is of innm use iiaiii-
ugc to tho church of Clin t. A liiiip
may outride a hundred storms, and
y< t a handful of worms in tin planks
may sink it to the bottom. Th: church
of Gr d i < net so much in dang' r < f the
cyclones of trouble and persecution that
come upon it as of tho vermin of hypoc
risy that invest it. Wolvca arc of no
dang'r t i tb fold of God unless they
look likh sheep. Arnold was of more
' the army than Cornwallis
is. Oh, we can not dci'ivr.
church certificate! lie sees
behind the curtain as well as before
dam- .o ' to
and i is <bn-
/ Uyl vv jf L .,
the curtain. Ho sees everything inside
out. A man may through policy hide
his real character, but God will after
awhile tear open the whited sepulcher
and expose the putrefaction. Holiday
faces cannot save him. Long prayers
cannot save him. Psalm singing and
churchgoing cannot save him. God will
expose him just as thoroughly as
though he branded upon bis forehead
the word “Hypocrite.” He may think
le has been successful in th<* deception,
tint at the most unfortunate moment
the sheep will bleat and the oxen will
' bellow.
One of the cruel bishops of olden
time was going to excommunicato one
of the martyrs, and he began in the
usual form—“In the name of God,
amen.” “Htop!” says the martyr.
“Don’t say ‘in the name of God!’ ” Yet
how many outrages are prai tired under
the garb of religion and sanctity. Win n
; in synods and conferences ministers of
1 the gospel are about to say something
! unbrotherly and unkind about a mem
ber, they almost always begin by b< ing
trenn ndously pious, the venom of tlx-ir
assault corresponding to the heavenly
flavor of the prelude. Standing there,
you would think they were ready to go
right up into glory and that nothing
kept them down but tlx* weight of their
boots and overcoat, when suddenly the
i sheep bleat and tlx* oxen bellow.
Simplicity.
Oh, my dear friends, let us cultivate
simplicity of Christian character! Jesus
I Cbri. t said, “ Unless you b< come as this
little child you cannot enter the king
dom of God.” \V r e may play hypocrite
successfully now, but the Lord God will
i after awhile expose our true character.
You must know the incident mentioned
in the history of Ottacas, who was ask
ed to kneel in tlx presence of Kandol-
phus I, and when before him he refused
to do it, but after awhile lie agreed to
; come in private when there was nobody
in the king's tent, and then he would
kneel down before him and worship,
but tlie servants of the king hail ar
ranged it so that by drawing a cord tlx*
tent would suddenly drop. Ottacas alt
er awhile came in, aixl supposing he
was in entire privacy knelt before Kan-
do]] bus. The servants pulled tlx- cord,
the ti nt dropped, and two armies sur
rounding looked down on Ottacas kneel
ing before liandolphus. Jf we are really
kneeling to tlie world while we profess
to be low ly subjects of JisusObrist,
the ti nt has already dropped and all
the hosts of heaven are gazing upon our
hypocrisy. God’s universe is a very
public place, and you eanuot hide hypoc
risy in it.
Going out into a world of delusion
and sham, pretend to L" no more than
you really an*. If you have tlx* grace
of God, profess it; profess no more than
you have. But I want the world to
know that where there is one hypocrite
in the church there are SUO outside of
it, for the reason that the field is larger.
; There arc* men in all circles who will
; bow before you, and who are obsi qui
j ous in your presence and talk flatter
ingly, but who all tlx* while in your
j conversation are digging for bait and
angling for imperfections. In your pres
ence tlx y imply that they are every
thing friendly, but after awhile you liud
they liavi the lien eix-ssoi a catamount,
the slym ss of a snake and the spite of
a devil. God wiii expose such. The gun
they load will 1-uist in tin ir own hands,
the lies they tell will break their own
t< th, and at the very momeiu they
i think they have lx < n Kucccsslpl in de
ceiving you and dei i :vitjg the w orld the
six p will bleat and the oxen will b> 1-
low.
Iti «i>»n*ihi!lty.
1 h am further irom this subject how
natural it is to try to put, off our sins
on otlx r people. Haul was charged with
disobeying God. The man says it was
not he; he did not save the sheep; the
army did it—trying to throw’ it iff on
« the shoulders of other people. Human
nature i > tlie same in all ages. Adam,
confronted with his sin, said, “The
woman tempted me, and I did eat.”
And tlx* woman charged it upon the
serpi nt, and if the serpent could have
spoken it would have charged it upon
tlx* devil I si’ppi e that the real state
of tlx* ease was that Kvo was eating
the apple and that Adam saw it and
begged and coaxed until he got a piece
of it. I suppose that Adam was just as
much to blame as Eve was. You can
not throw off the responsibility of any
sin upon tin* shoulders of other people.
Hen' is a young man who says: “1
know 1 am doing wrong, but 1 have not
had any eliance. 1 bad a father who de
spised God and a mother who was a
disciple of godless fashion. I am not to
blame for my sins; it is my bringing
up.” Ah, no; that young man has
been out in tlx* world long enough to
see what is right and to see what is
wrong ;*.id in th great day of eternity
lx* cannot throw ids sins upon his fa
ther or mother, but will have to stand
for himself and answer before God.
You have had a conscience, you have
had a Bible and the influence of tho
Holy Hjiirit. Htaud for yourself or fall
lor yourself.
Here is a business man. He says, “I
know I don’t do exactly right in trade,
but all the dry goods men do it and all
the hardware men do this, and I am
not responsible.” You cannot throw
off your sin upon the should) rs of other
merchants. God will hold you respon
sible for w hat you do and them re-
spnn-iblt for what they do. I want to
quote me pas. age of .Scripture for you
—I think it is in Proverbs—“If thou lx*
wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself,
but if thou Hcornest thou alone shalt
W ar it.”
All or No:i<*.
1 lean further from this subject what
Gr.d ..nt b) i-xfi luiiimth n. Haul wan
told to slay all the Amalekites and the
beasts in tlx ir possession. He saves
Agag, tho Amalckito king, and some of
tlx* slx-i p a!*'! oxen. God chastist s bim
for it. God likes nothing done by halves.
God will not stay in tho soul that is
half his and half tlx* devil’s. Them
m jj lx* mi; tuns m our n ul than there
\Yi re Amnlek te*. We must kill them.
Woo uuty uh if wo spare Agag. Hero in
a Christian. He says: “I will drive out
ail the Amalekites of sin from my heart. 1
Hen* is jealousy—down gin s that Amal- .
ekite. Hi re is backbiting—down goes j
that Amulekit *,” and what slaughter
he makes among his sins, striking right
and left! What is that out yonder, lift
ing up his head? It is Agag—it is world
liness. It is au old sin he cannot bear to
•trike down. It is a darling transgrec-
3on he cannot afford to sacrifice. Oh,
ny brethren, I appeal for entire const
crution. Honx* of the Presbyterians call
it tho “higher life.” The Mi thodist:..
I believe, call it “perfection. ” I do not
care what you call it, “without holi
ness no man shall si e the Lord.” I
know men who are living with their
Himl in perpetual communion with
Christ and day by day are walking
within sight of heaven. How do I know?
They tell me so. I believe them. They
would not lie about it. Why cannot we
all have this consecration? Why slay
sonx* of tlx* sins in our soul and have
others to bleat and bellow for our ex
posure and condemnation? Christ will
not stay in the same house with Agag.
You must give up Agag or give up
Ciirist. Ji us says, “All of that heart
or none.” Haul slew tlx- poori st of the
sheep and the nx am st of the on n and
kept some of the finest and tlx* fattest,
and there are Christians who have slain
the most unpopular of tlx ir transgres
sions and saved those which are most
respectable. It will not do. lltural
war against all the Amalekites—no mer
cy for Agag!
I learn further from thin subj ct that
it is vain to try to defraud God. ih ro
Haul thought he had cheated God rut
of those sheep and oxen, but he lost
his crown, lie lost his empire. You can
not cheat God out of a single cent.
Here is a man who has made $10,000
in fraud. Before he dies every dollar of
it will be gone, or it will give him vio
lent unnst. Hero is a Cbzistian who
has been largely prospered. He lias not
given to God the proportion that is duo
in charities and benevolences. God
comes to the n ckoning, and he takes it
all away from you. How often it has
been th..., Christian men have had a
large estate and it is gone. The Lord
God came into tlx* counting room and
said: “1 have allowi d you to have all
this property for 10, 15 or 20 years, and
you have not done justice to m? pi or
children. When the beggar called upon
you, you hounded him off your steps;
when my suffering children appealed to
you for help, you bad no nx rey. I only
adud for so much or so much, but you
did nut give ii to me, and now I will
take it all. ”
The Safe Course.
God asks of us one-seventh of our time
in tlx way of Habbath. Do you supj ice
we can get an hour of that time* suen -.--
fully away from its true objei i': No, no.
God has demanded one-seventh of your
time. If you take one hour of that time
that is tobeui votid to God’s service
and instead of keeping his Habbath use
it for the purpose of writing up your
accounts or mat.ing worldly gains, God
w ill get that hour from you in some un
expected way. God says to Jonah, “You
go to Nineveh.” lie says: “No, I
won’t. 1’Jl go to Tarshisli. ” lie starts
for Tarshisli. Tlx* sea raves, tlx* winds
blow and the ship rocks. Come, y«
whales, and take this passenger for Tar-
shish! No man ever gits to Tarshi h
whom God t IN to go to Ninevi li. The
sea would not cany linn; it is God’s
sea. The winds would not waft him;
tjiey an- God’s winds. Let a man at
tempt to do that wiiii h God forbids him
to <!<) or to go into a place wlxrc God
tells him not to go, the natural world
as well as God is against him. Tlx;
iighuiings an* ready to strike him, the
lit s to burn him, tlx* sun to smite him,
tlx* waters to drown him, and tlx* earth
to swallow him. Those whose princely
robes are v.ovin out of heartstrings,
those whose line houses an* built out of
skulls, these whose springing fountains
are tlx* tears of oppressed nations, have
they sue:; ssfuily i lx atid God?
Tlx* lust day will demonstrate. It
will l e found out on that day that (h d
vindicated not only ins goodness and
his mercy, but his power to take care of
his ov. u rights and tlx* rights of his
church ami the rights of ids oppress* d
children. Come, ye martyred dead,
awake and conn* up in m the dungeons
w here folded darkness lx arsi d you and
the chains Jiki* cankers p< eh u loose tin*
skin and wore off tho llesli and rattled
ou tlx-in arrow less bones. Come, 5*0 mar
tyred dead, from the stakes win re you
were burned, where the arm uplifted
for mi rey fell into tlx* ashes and tlie
cry of pai i was drowned in tlx* snap
ping of the Hume and the howling of
the mob; from valleys of Piedmont and
Hmithlield mar 1 ., i, and IjoixIod Tower
and tlx* highlands of Heotland. Gather
in gnat pr< cession and together clap
your bony iiuiuis, and tog iher stamp
your moldy feet and let the chains that
bound you to dungeons all clank at
onto and gather all tlx* flames that
burned you in one uplifted arm of lire
and plead 1 ir a judgmi nt. Gatix r all
the tears ye ever wept into a lake and
gather all tlx* sighs ye ever I reatncd
into a tempi st until the heaven piercing
chain clank and tho tempi st sigh and
the thunder groan announce to earth
and hell and heaven a judgment. Oh,
ou that day God will vindicate Jus own
cause and vindicate the cause of the
troubled and the oppressed! It will lx-
seen in that day that though we may
have rubbed our fi Hows, we now r liuie
suceessl ally robbed God.
My Chri Jiun friends, us you go out
into the world exhibit au open hearted
Christian fraukui' s. Do not he hy|>o-
i riiieul in miy-thing. You an- never safe
if you are. At tlie most inopportune
moment the six < p will bh at and tho
oxen bellow. Drive out the last Amale-
Lite of sin from year soul. Have no
mercy on Agag. Down with your sins,
down with your pride, down with your
worldliw kk. I know you cannot achii vo
this work by your own arm, but al
mighty grace is sufficient—that which
saved Joseph in tlx* pit, that which de
livered D..ok 1 iu Hid t ijj, that which
sliii Ided bihudrach in iho ILc, that which
eh- vied P,.ul in the shipwri ck.
A NEW DINNER FAD.
Eacti Coarse I* Followed by a Chaugn of
l*Me.
The New York man of fashion who
accepts an invitation to a dinner party
nowadays is likely to enjoy the repast
at half a dozen different places. This
constitutes tho latest fad. The diner
may take his soup at the Waldorf and
enjoy his chart’-euse in Chinatown,
while tin* Holland, Di Imonieo’s or the
Manhattan may come in for the entrees
and roast, with several more places of
note to hear from. The fad is in actual
practice and budded and bloomed iu a
single night.
Tiie thought is a brand new’ one and
wars never tried until a few days ago. A
Fifth avenue couple invited a score of
guests to dine with them. First came
tlie oysters and then the soup, after
which the fish put in an appearance.
Then then was apparent consternation.
Tlx* master of ceremonies on tlx- part of
the hotel was seen whispering to tho
hort. His face grew sober, and in a
voice in which anger and mortification
Wi re bh tided he told his guests that tho
waiters had struck arid tlx* hotel people
were unable to si <*ure substitute s. Tlx ro
w as hut one thing to do, ho said, and
that was to go somewhere else.
Wraps were donned, and carriages
which were in waiting were entered.
In a few moments the dinner party
wrs i'M route to tho Hotel Martin. It
was a pleasant surprise to the guests to
find tlx* private dining room aglow
wiih jonquils.
The entices and tho accompanying
wine were i njoyt d hugely, and then
surprise No. 2 presented itself. Tho
host, with a horror stricken face, said
that owing to the suddenness with
which they had come upon the Martin
there were absolutely no roasts in suffi
cient quantity to supply the company,
so again tlx* wraps were donned, once
more carriages were entered and off
drove the party up Fifth avenue and
over to Delmomeo’s.
The roast eaten and the champagne
inspiration received, the host stated
with a long face that the strangest of
all tilings had happened. Delmonico
ileelan d that h<- could not servo a party
of that size with a salad.
This time the carriages headed south
ward and down Fifth avenue to Grand
strict. Th*V were then driven east un
til tlx* Bowery was reached. Untilh on
the Bowery they went to Mott street
and up Mott stru t to Bell. Tlx n*. just
off Mottaud’in fix* heart of Now York’s
Ciiinato.-n, tlx* funhionuLles alight'd
and entered fix* one big restp.urant of
which tliis bit of the Celestial empire
can beast.
By this time tho guests were ail
aware they wen- enjoying the strung' i -t
course diuni r that ever f: 11 to tho lot of
