THE TjEDGEK : GAFFNEY, S. C„ SEPTEMBER 10, 1897 AVI^VT IS YOUR LIFE? REV. DR. TALMAGE DISCUSSES THIS MOMENTOUS QUESTION. Tlie Kind of Ufo Tlmt Is Not Worth lav ing and the Kind That Opens Into Kter- nity- TIm- Struggle For Wealth, Position and Happiness, Washington, Srpt. 12.—In this sit turn Hcv. Dr. Talrnnge discusses a sub- j*ct vital to all, and never more timely than now, when the struggle for power, position, wealth and happiness is so ab sorbing. The text, is James iv, 14, “What is your life?” If we leave to tho evolutionists to guess where we came from and to the theologians to prophesy where we are going to, wo still have left lor cousid- eraticn tho important fact that we are here. There may he some doubt about where the river rises and some doubt about where the river empties, but there can he no doubt about the fact that vc arc sailing on it. Ido I am not sur prised that everybody asks the ques tion, “Is life worth living?” la Fife Worth Living? Solomon, in Lis unhappy moments, says it is not. “Vanity,” “vexation of spirit,” “no good,” are his estimate. The fact is that fc'clomou was at one time a polygamist and that soured his disposition. One wife makes a man happy; more than one makes him wretched. But Solomon was converted from polygamy to monogamy, and the last words he evt r wrote, as far as we can road them, were the words "moun tains of spices.” But Jeremiah says life is worth living. In a bock supposed to be doleful and lugubrious and sepulchral and entitled “Lamentations,” he plain ly intimates that the blessing of merely living is so great and grand a bless ing that though a man have piled on him all inisfortums and disasters he has no right to complain. The ancient prophet erics out in startling intonation to all lands and to all centuries, “Wherefore doth a living man ccim- plain?” A diversity of opinicu in our time as t well as in oldc n time. Here is a young man of light hair and blue eyes and sound digestion and generous salary and happily albanet (I and on the way to become a partner in a commercial firm of which he is an important clerk. Ask him whethe r life is werth living. Ho will laugh in year face and say, “Yes, yes, yes!” Hero is a man who has come to the forties. Ho is at the tiptop of the hill of life. Kvery step has been a stumble and a bruise. The people ho trusted have turned out de serters, and the money he has honestly made lie has: bet n cheated out of. His ' * nerves are out of tune. He has poor ap petite, and the food he does eat does not assimilate. Forty miles climbing up \\\4 hill of life have been to him like climbnng tho Matterhorn, and there arc 40 limes yet to go down, and deset nt is alvrtfyo more dangeious than ascent. Ask him whether life is worth living, and he w ill draw l out in sliivcring and |» lugubrious and appalling negative, “No, no, no!” How are wo to decide this matter righteously and intelligently? Yen vill find the fiamc man vacillating, oscillat ing in hia cpiaic u fic.m dt jt ctirn to i x- uheranee, and if he be very mercurial in his tempt rairci.l it will depend very much on which way the wind Hows. If the wind blow from the northwtst and you ask him, lie will say, “Yes,” and if it blow from the northeast and yon ink him he will ray, “No.” How are we, then, to get the question right eously answered? fciupi o: e v. c call all nations to.;* :Ft r in a gieat convention oucasttrn orvts: rn htinisphere, and lot till the.so who are i'i the allirmative gay, “Aye,” and all thero who are in the negative say, “No.” While them would Lo hundreds of thousands w ho would tatswt r in t'e afTirmalive, thero would be more millions who would an swer in flit 1 negative, and Lecaux! of the greater number wi n have sorrow and misfortune and Double the nett; would have it. The unsvtr I shall give will be different 1i< jji either, and yet it will commend its* If t till who hear me this day ns tho right answer. If you ask me, “is life worth living?” I an- vwer “It all depends tipion the kind of life yon live. ” Money Getting. . ^ In the first place, I r< mark that a iifo of mere money getting is always a fail ure, because you will never get as much as you want. The poorest people in this country are the millionaires. There is not a scissors grinder on tlie streets of New York cr Brooklyn who is so anx ious to make money as these men who have piled up fortunes year after year in storehouses, in government securi ties in tenement houses, in whdle city blocks. You ought to see them jump when they hear the lire bell ring. You ought to Eco them in their excitement when a bank explodes. You ought to see th<ir agitation when there is pro- jiosul a reformation in tho lariff. Their nerves tremble like harp strings, hut no music in the vibration. They read the reports from Wall street in tho morning with a concernment that threatens par alysis cr apoplexy, or more probably they have a telegraph or a telephone in their own house, so they rateli evi ry breath of change in the money market. | Tho disease of aceumnlation has eaten into them—eaten into their heart, into their lungs, into their spleen, into their liver, into th< ir hones. Chemists have sometimes analyzed tho human body, and they say it is so I much magnesia, so much lime, so much chlorate f'i' potassium. If some Chris* tiun chemist would analyse one of these financial h* h* ninths, he would liud ho lis made up of copper and gold and si! |Ver and zinc and lead and coal and iron. IThut is not a life worth living. Them Isni too maliy earthquakes in it, teo Ijkuny ugonitt! in it, too many perditions w it. Thi n build their castles, and they open their picture galleries, aud they summon prima donnas, aud they wfir every inducemeut for huppiuess to come and live there, but happiness will uot come. They send foctmanned aud postilioned equipage to bring her. She will not ride to their door. They send princely escort She will uot take their arm. They make their gateways tri umphal arches. She will not ride under them. They set a golden throne before a golden plate. She turns away from the banquet. They call to her from up holstered balcony. She will uot listen. Mark you, this is the failure of those who have had large accumulation. And then you must take into consid eration that the vast majority of those who make the dominant idea of life money getting fall far short of affluence. It is estimated that only about two out of a hundred business men have anything worthy the name of success. A man who spends his li/.i with the one dom inant id< a of financial accumulation spends u life not worth living. Worldly Approval. So tho idea of worldly approval. If that he dominant in a man’s life, he is miserable. Kvery four years the two most unfortunate men iu this country are the two men nominated lor the presidency. The reservoirs of abuse and diatribe and malediction gradually fill up, gallon above gallon, hogshead above hogshead, and about midsummer these two reservoirs will ho brimming full, aud a hose will be attached to each one, and it will play away on these nom inees, aud they will have to stand it and take the abuse, and the falsehood, aud the caricature, and the anathema, and tho caterwauling, and the filth, and they will be rolled in it and relied over aud over in it until they are choked and submerged and strangulated, aud at every sign of returning con sciousness they will he Larked at by ail the hounds of political parties irom ocean to ceean. And yet there are a hundred men today struggling for that privilege, and there are thousands of men who are helping ti:< m in the strug gle. New, that is not a life woith liv ing. Y’on can g< t slandered aud abused | cheaper than that. Take it on a smaller | sivile. Do not be so ambitious to have a whole reseivoir rolled over cu you. But what you see in the matter of i high political preferment you see in ^ every community iu the struggle lor | what is called social position. Tens of i thousands of people trying to get into j that realm, and they are under terrific | tension. What is social position? It is a ! difficult thing to d< fine, hut we all j kuow what it is. (icod morals and iu- J telligenec are not necessary, hut wealth, j or a show of wealth, is absolutely in- j dispensable. Tlure are men today as ! notorious for their libertinism as the j night is famous for its darkness who | move in what is called high social posi- i tion. There are hundreds of out and cut i rakes in American society whose names are mentioned among the distinguished guests at the great levees. They have j annexed all the known vices and are j longing for othi r worlds of diabolism , to conquer, (iced morals are uot ueecs- | sary in many o? the exalted circles of society. Neither is intelligence necessary. \ Y’cu find in tbt.t realm men who would ! not know an adverb from an adjective if they met it a hundn d times in a day, and who could uot write a letter of ae- ! eeptauee or regrets without the aid of a | secretary. They buy their libraries by the square yard, only anxious to have j the binding Russian. Their ignorance is positively sublime, making English ; grammar almost disreputable. And yet | the finest parlors ejen before them, j (ioc.d morals and intelligence are uot | necessary, but wealth or a show of wealth is positively indispensable. It does not make any dilferenee Low you got your wealth, if you only got it. ; The !» s!: way for you to get into social position is for yon to buy a large amount on credit, tin n put your prop* ity m j your wife’s name, have a f« w ] refi ireri ; credit* is, and then make an assignment. Then disappear from the community until t!.e bi.eze m ever ami come Lack and start in the same business - . Dy you not see P* \v beautifully that will put j cut all the pi nplc who are in competi tion with you and trying to make an hem st living? How quii k!y it will g* t you into high social pesitii n? What is the ust; of toiling 40 or 50 years when you can by two or three bright strokes make a great fortune? Ah, my fri* mis, j when you really lose your money how , quickly they will let you drop, and the higher you get the Imidtr you will drop. ; Thero are thousands today in that realm who are anxious to keep iu it. I Thero are thousands iu that realm who i are nervous for fear they will fall out of it, aud thero are changes going cu every year, ami every mouth, aud every hour which involve heartbreaks that are never reported. High social life is constantly in a flutter about the delicate question as to whom they shall let iu aud win mi they shall push out. ami tho | battle is going on—pier mirror against pier mirror, chandelier against chande lier, wine eellar against wine cellar, wardrobe against wardrobe, equipage against equipage. Uncertainty and in security dominant in that realm, wretch edness enthroned, torture at u premium and a life not »vorth living! All IK-hiI Failu-ca. A life of sin, a life of pride, a life cf indulgence, u life of wcrldliness, a life rievi t(d to ti e world, the 1. sh and tho dev.l, is .me, a dead f-ilure, an in finite failure. I. care not how many presents you send to that cradle or how many garlands you semi to that grave, you need to put light under the name c*ii the tombstone this inscription: “ B» t- ter for that man if lie hud never been born.” But I ahull show you a life that is Worth living. A young man says: “I uni here. I uni uot responsible for my ancestry. Others decided that. I am not responsible for my temperament. Clod gave me that. But hero I am iu tho evening of the nineteenth century, at 2U years of age. I am here, and I must take an account of stock. Here I have a body, which is u divinely con- ■tructed engine. I must put it to the very best uses, and I must allow noth ing to damage this rarest of machinery. Two feet, and they .mean locomotion. Two eyes, and they mean capacity to pick out my owu way. Two ears, and they are telephones of communication with all the outside world, aud they mean capacity to catch sw eetest music and the voices of fricudship-*-the very best music. A tengue, with almost in finity of articulation. Y T es, hands with which to welcome or resist or lift or smite or wave or bless—hands to help myself and help others. Here is a world which after fi.OOO years of battling with tempest and acci dent is still grander than any architect, human or angelic, could have drafted. I have two lamps to light me—a golden lamp and a silver lamp—a golden lamp set on the sapphire mantel of the day, a silver lump set on the jet mantel of the night. Yea, I have that at 20 of age which defies all inventory of valu ables—a soul with capacity to choose or reject, to rejoice or to suffer, to love or to hate. Pluto says it is immortal. Sen eca says it is immortal. Confucius says it is immortal. An old book among the family relics, a book with leathern cover almost worn out and pages almost obliterated by oft perusal, joins the oth er Locks in saying I am immortal, i have 80 years for a lifetime, 00 years yet to live. I may uot live an hour, but theu I must lay out my plans intelli gently aud for a long life. Jpixty years added to the 20 I have already lived— that will bring me to 80. I must re member that these 80 years are only a brief preface to the five hundred thou sand millions of quintillions of years which will be my chief resiu nee and existence. Now, I understand my oppor tunities and my responsibilities. If there is any being in t.ie universe all wise and all beneficent who can help a iuxu in such a juncture, I want him. The old hook found among the family relics tells me there is a (4od and that tor the sake of his sou, <% - e Jesus, he will give help to a man. To him I ap peal. (iod help me! Here I have 00 years yet to do for myself and to do for others. I must develop ibis body by all industries, by all gymnastics, by all sunshine, by all fresli air, by all good habits. And this soul I must have swept ami garnished and illumined and glo rified by all that I can do for it and ail that I can get Hod to do for it. It shall te u Luxembourg cf fine pictures. ,It shall be an orchestra of grand - har monies. It shall he a palace for Cod and righteousness to reign in. I wonder how many kind words I can utter in the next 60 years? I will try. I wonder how many good deeds I ean do in the next CO years? I wil! try. God help me. A Life Worth Living. That young mat: enters life. He is buffeted, ho is tried, he is perplexed. A grave opens on this side and a grave opens on that side. Ho fulls, but ho rises again. He gets into a hard battle, but he gets the victory. The main course of hit* life is in the right direc tion. He blesses everybody he comes in contact with. God forgives his mis takes and makes everlasting record of his holy endeavors, aud at the close of it God says to him: “Well done, good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy cf thy Lord. ” My brother, my sister, I do not earn whether that man di»s at JO. 40, 60, 60, 70 or 80 years of age; you ean chisel right under ids muno on the tombstone these words, “His life was worth living. ” Amid the hills cf New Hampshire, i:i olden times, there sits a mother. There are six children iu tne household—four hoys and two girls. Small farm. Very rough, hard work to coax a living out of it. Mighty tug to make the two ends of tho year meet. Tb * boys go to soluol in w inter and work the farm in sum mer. Mother is the chief presiding spirit. With her hands she knits all the stockings for the little Let, and she is the muntuu maker for the boys, and she is the milliner for the girls. Tliiro is only otic mu-ical instrument in tho house, the spinning whi rl. The food is very plain, bur it is always well pro vided. The winters; are wry cold, but are kept out by the blankets she quid ed. On trundiiy, when she appears in the village church, her children aicui'd In r, the minister looks down and is r* minded of the Bible description ol a g<:< d housewife, "Her children arise up and rail her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. ” Some years go 1 y, aud the two oldest bov-s want a collegiate education, and the household economies are severer, ami the calculations are closer, aud un til these two boys get their education there is a hard battle for bread. One of these boys enters the university, stands in a pulpit widely influential aud preaches righteousness, judgment and temperance, and thousands during his ministry are blessed. The other lad who got the collegiate edueutiou goes into the law, and thence into legisla tive hulls, and after awhile ho com mands listening senates as he makes a plea for the downtrodden and the out cast. One of the younger boys becomes a merchant, starting at the foot of the ladder, but climbing on up until his success and his philanthropies urj rec ognized all over the land. The other son stays at home because lie prefers farming life, and then he thinks he will be able to take care of father aud mother when they get old. Of the two daughters, when the war broke oat, one went through the hospi tals of Pittsburg Lauding and Fortress Monroe, cheering up the dying aud the homesick and taking the last message to kindred far away, so that every time Christ thought of her lie said, as of old, “The same is my sister and mother.” The other daughter lias a bright home of her own. and iu the afternoon—tho forenoon having been devoted to her household—she goes forth to hunt up tho sick and to encourage the discouraged, leaving smiles aud benediction all along the way. , But one day there start five telegrams from the village for these five absent ones, saying, “Come, mother is dauger- ooslyill. ” But before they can be ready to start they receive another telegram, laying, “Come, mother iidcud.” The old neighbors gather in tho old farm house to do the last offices of respect. But as that farming son, aud the cler gyman, and the senator, and the mer chant, and the two daughters stand by the casket of the deadmothir taking tho last look, or lifting their little chil dren to see once more the face of dear old grandma, I want to ask that group around tho casket one question, “Do you really think her lifo was worth liv ing?” A life for God, a life for others, a life of unselfishness, a useful life, a Christian life, is always worth living. Kight Living. 1 would not find it hard to persuade you that the poor lad, Peter Cooper, making glue for a living, and then amassing a great fortune until he could build a philanthropy which has had its echo in 10,000 philanthropies all over the country—I would not liud it hard to persuade you that his lifo was worth living. Neither would I liud it hard to persuade you that the life of Susannah Wesley was worth living. She sent out one son to organize Methodism and the other sen to ring his anthems ail through the ages. I would net find it hard work to persuade you that the life of Frances Deere was worth living, as she established in England u school fer the scientific nursing of the sick, aud then when the war broke out between France and Germany went to the front and with her own hands scraped the mud off the bodies of the soldiers dying iu the trenches and with her weak arm —standing one night in the hospital— pushing back a German soldier to his .couch, us, all frenzied with his wounds, he rushed to the door and said, “Let me go, let me go to my licbe mutter,” —major generals standing hack to let pass this angel of mercy. Neither would I have hard work to persuade you that Grace Darling lived a life worth living—the heroine of the lifeboat. Y’ou are not wondering that the Duchess of Northumberland came to see her aud that people of all lands asked for her lighthouse aud that the proprietor of the Adelphi theater in London offen d her if 100 a night just to sit in the lifeboat while some shipwreck scene was being enacted. But 1 know the thought in the minds of hundreds cf you today. You say, “While I know all these lived lives worth living, I don’t think my lifo amounts to much.” Ah, my friends, whether you Jive a life conspicuous or inconspicuous, it is worth living, if you live aright. And I want my next sentence to go down into the depths of all your souls. You are to he rewarded uot according to the greatners of your work, hut according to the holy indus tries with which you employed the tal ents you really possessed. The majority of the crowns of heaven will not be given to people with ten talents, for most of th; m were tempted only to serve themselves. The vast majority of the crowns of heaven will Lo given to pfopb* who had om* talent, but gave it all to God. And remember that our life here is introductory to another. It is the vestibule to a palace, but who de spises the door of a Madeleine because there are grander glories within? Your life, if rightly lived, is the first bar of an eternal oratorio, and who despises the first note of Haydn’s symphonies? And the life you live now is all the more worth living because it opens into a life that shall never end, and the last letter of the word “time” is the first letter of the word "eternity!” To Chance; a Current For Cliinatr'a Sake. A Tokyo journ il is responsible for the following: “Vladivostok, being the terminus of the hiLeriuu railway, is a most important port in Russia. Not withstanding this fact over four months during the cold season the port is bkoked with ice and spring traffic is «utirely impossible, and therefore tho railway lost s much cf its advantages.
