Own Observations — The Voice ol
the Streets.
LCopyriffht, 1899, by American Press Asso
ciation.]
Washington, March 19.—lu this dis
course Dr. Talmage. who has lived tho
most of his life in cities, draws prac
tical lessons from his own observation ;
text, Proverbs i. 20, “Wisdom crieth
without; she uttereth her voice in the
streets. ”
We are all ready to listen to the
voices of nature—tho voices of the
mountain, the voices of the sea, the
voices of the storm, the voices of the
star As in some of the cathedrals iu
Europe there is an organ at either end
of the building, and the one instrument
responds musically to tho other, so iu the
great cathedral of nature day responds
to day and night to night and flower to
flowei and star to star in the great har-
moniesof the universe. The springtime
is an evangelist in blossoms preaching of
God’s love, and the winter is a prophet
— white bearded — denouncing woe
against our sins. We are all ready to
listen to the voices of nature, but how
few of us learn anything from the
voices of tho noisy and dusty street?
You go to your mechanism and to your
work and to your merchandise, and you
come buck again, and often with how
different u heart you pass through the
streets. Are there no things for us to
learn from these pavements over which
we pass? Are there no tufts of truth
glowing up between these cobblestones,
beaten with the feet of toil and pain
and pleasure, the slow tread of old age
and the quick step of childhood? Aye.
there are great harvests to be reaped,
and now I thrust iu the sickle because
the harvest is ripe. “Wisdom crieth
without: sho uttereth her voice iu the
streets. ”
In the first place, the street impresses
me with the fact that this life is a scene
of toil und struggle By 10 o’clock ev
ery day the city is jarring with wheels,
und shuttling with feet, and humming
with voices, and covered with the breath
of smokestacks, and arush with traffick
ers Once in awhile you find a man go
ing along with folded arms and with
leisurely step, as though he had nothing
to do; but fur the most part, as you
find men going down these streets on
the way to business, there is anxiety in
their faces, us though they had some
errand which must be executed at the
first iKis-ible moment. You are jostled
by those who have bargains to make
and notes to sell. Up this ladder with
u bod of bricks, out of this bank with
a roll of bills, on this dray with a load
of goods, digging a cellar, or shingling
a roof, or shoeing a horse, or building
u wall, or mending a watah, or bind
ing a book. Industry, with bur thou
sand arms and tkousuad ayes and thou
sand feet goes on singing her song of
work. work, work, while the mills
drum it and the steam whistles fife it
All this not because men love toil
fckjme cno remarked, “Every man is as
lazy as he can afford to be. ” But it is
because necessity with stern brow and
with uplifted whip stands over you
ready whenever you relax your toil to
make your shoulders sting with the lash.
TL* World'll Toil and Anxiety.
Can it be that passing up and down
these streets on your way to work and
business that you do not learn anything
of tho world’s toil and anxiety und
strugglef Oh. how many drooping
hearts, how many eyes on the watch,
how many miles traveled, how many
burdens carried, how many losses suf
fered. how many battles fought, how
many victories gained, how many de
feats suffered, how many exasperations
endured; what losses, what hunger,
what wretchedness, what pallor, what
disease, what agony, what despair I
Sometimes 1 have stopped at tho corner
of the street as the multitudes went
hither and yon. and it has seemed to be
a great pantomime, and as I looked
upon it my heart broke. This great tide
of human life that goesdown the street
is a rapid, tossed aud turned aside, and
dashed ahead, aud driven back—beau
tiful u its confusion, aud confused in
its beauty In the carpeted aisles of the
forest, in tho woods from which the
eternal shadow is never lifted, on the
shore of the sea over whose iron coast
tosses tho tangled foam sprinkling the
cracked cliffs with a baptism of whirl
wind and tempest, is tho best place to
study God. but iu the rushing, swarm
ing. raving street is the best place to
study man.
Going down to your place of business
and coming home again, 1 charge you
to look about—see these signs of pover
ty. of wretchedness, of hunger, of sin.
of bereavement—-and us you go through
the streets, and come back through tho
streets, gather up in the arms of your
prayer all the sorrow, all the losses, all
the sufferings, all the bereavements of
those whom you pass, and present them
in prayer before an all sympathetic God.
In the great day of eternity there will
be thousands of persons with whom you
in this world never exchanged one word,
will rise up aud call you blessed, aud
there will be a thousand fingers pointed
at you in heaven, saying “That is the
man. that is the woman, who helped
me when I was hungry and sick and
wandering and lost and heartbroken
That is the man. that is the woman.'
and the blessing will come down upon
yon as Christ shall say; “I was hungry,
and ye fed me; I was naked, and ye
clothed me; I was sick and in prison,
and ye visited mo; inasmuch as ye did
it to these poor wolfs of the streets, ye
did it to me. ”
Again, the street impresses me with
the fact that all classes and conditions
of society must commingle. We some
times culture a wicked exclusiveness.
Intellect despises ignorance. Refino-
uient will have nothing to do with
boorishnesft Glovee hate the sunburned
band, and the high forehead despises
the flat heid. and the trim hedgerow
will have nothing to do with the wild
copaewood, aud Athens hates Nazareth.
This ought not so to be. The astronomer
must comedown from his starry revelry
and help us iu our navigation. The sur
geon must come a\.ay from his study of
the human organism and set our broken
bones. The chemist must come away
from his laboratory, where he has been
studying analysis and synthesis, and
help ns to understand the nature of the
soils. I bles iGod that ull classes of peo
ple are compelled to meet on the street.
The glittering coach wheels clashes
again:-! tho scaveugvr’scart Fine robes
run agiiin.-t the peddler's pin k. Robust
health in rets wan sickness. Honesty
confronts fraud. Every class of people
meets every other class. Impudence and
modesty, pride and humility, purity
und beastliness, frankness and hypoc
risy, meeting on the same block, in the
same street, iu tho same city. Oh, that
is what S/domon meant w v .eu he said,
“The rich ai:d tho poor meet together;
the Lord is the Maker of them all.”
1 like this democratic principle of tho
gospel of Je«us Christ which recognizes
the fact that we stand before (Jod on
one and tho same platform. Do not take
on any airs. Whatever position you
have gained iu society you are nothing
but a man, born of the same parent, re
generated by the same spirit, cleansed
iu the same blood, to lie down in the
same dust, to get up in the same resur
rection. It is high time that we all ac
knowledged uot only the Fatherhood of
God. but the brotherhood of man.
To Itecy Ilia Heart Itiaht.
Again, the street impresses me with
the fact that it is a very hard thing for
a man to keep his heart right and to
get to heaven. Infinite temptations
spiing upon us from these places of
public concourse. Amid so much afflu
ence, how much temptation to covetous
ness and to be discontented with our
humble loti Amid so many opportuni
ties. for overreaching what temptation
to extortion! Amid so much display,
what temptation to vanity I Amid so
many saloons of strong drink, what al
lurement to dissipation I In the mael
stroms and hell gates of, the street how
many make quick and eternal ship
wreck! If a man-of-war comes back
from a battle and is towed into the
navy yard, we go down to look ut tho
splintered spars and count the bullet
holes and look with patriotic admira
tion on the flag that floated in victory
from the masthead. But that man is
more cf a curiosity who has gone
through 30 years of tho sharpshooting
of business life und yet sails on, victor
over the temptations of the street. Oh,
how many have gone down under the
pressure, leaving not so much as the
patch of canvas to tell where they per
ished ! They never hud any peace. Their
dishonesties kept tolling in their ears.
If I had an ax and could split open the
beams of that fine house, perhaps 1^
would find m the very heart of it a
skeleton. In his very best wine there is
a smack of poor man’s sweat. Oh, is it
strange that when u man has devoured
widows' houses he is disturbed with in
digestion? All the forces of nature are
against him. The floods are ready to
drown him aud the earthquake to
swallow him und the fires to consume
him aud the lightnings to smite him.
But the children of God uru on every
street, and in the day when tho crowns
of heaven ura distributed some of the
brightest of them will be given to those
men who were faithful to God und faith
ful to the souls of others amid the marts
of basiaaaft pswriag IksatMlTM tks ha
loes of the street. Mighty war* their
temptations, mighty was their deliver
ance aud mighty shall he their triumph.
Again, tho street impresses me with
the fact that life is full of pretension
and sham. What subterfuge, what
double dealing, what twofucsdnossl Do
all people who wish you good morning
really hope you a happy day? Do all
the people who shake hands lovo each
other? Are all those anxious about your
health who inquire concerning it? Do
all want to see you who ask you to call?
Does all the world know half us much
as it pretends to know? Is there not
many a wretched stock of goods with a
brilliant show window? Passing up and
down the streets to your business and
your work, are you not impressed with
tho fact that society is hollow and that
there are subterfuges and pretensions?
Oh. how many there are who swagger
and strut, und how few people who are
natural aud walk 1 While fops simper
und fools chuckle and simpletons gig
gle. how few people are natural and
laugh! The courtesan and the libertine
go down the street in beautiful apparel,
while within tho heart there are vol
canoes of passion consuming their life
away 1 say these things uot to create
in you incredulity or misanthropy, nor
do I forget there arc thousands of peo

Kivltl t'or Ckrlatluu Charily.
Again, the street impresses me with
the fact that it is a great field for Chris
tian charity. There are hunger and
suffering, and want and wretchedness
iu the country, but these evils chiefly
congregate in our great cities Ou ev
ery street crime prowls, und drunken
ness staggers, and shame winks, aud
pauperism thrusts out its hand asking
for alms. Here want is most squalid
and hunger is most lean. A Christian
man. going along a street in New York,
saw a poor lad. and he stooped aud
said. “My boy. do you know bow to
read and write?” The boy made no an
swer. The man asked the question twice
and thrice. “Cun you read and write?”
And then the boy answered, with a
tear plashing ou the back of his hand.
He said iu defiance: “No. sir; 1 c^u’t
read nor write, neither. God. sir. don't
want me to read aud write Didn't he
take away my father so long ago I never
remember to have seen him? And
haven’t I had to go along the streets to
get something to fetch home to out for
the folks? And didn’t I. as soon as I
could carry u basket, have to go out
and pick up cinders aud never have no
schooling, sir? God don’t want me to
read, sir. I can’t read nor write, nei
ther.” Oh. those poor wanderers! They
have no chance. Born in degradation,
us they get up from their hands and
kuoes to walk, they take their first step
on the road to desjmir. Let ne go forth
in tho name of the Lord Jesus Christ
to rescue them Let us ministers uot be
afraid of soiling our black elotbes while
we go down on that mission. While we
are tying an elaborate knot in our cra
vat or while we are in tho study round
ing off some period rhetorically we
might be saving a soul from death aud
: hiding a multitudeof sins. 0 Christian
! laymen, go out on this work! If you
are not willing to go forth yourself,
then give of your means, und if you
aro too lazy to go, und if you are too
stingy to help, then get out of the way
and hide yourself in the dens aud caves
of the earth, lest, when Christ's chariot
comes along the horses’ hoofs trumpls
you into the mire. Beware lest the
thousands of the destitute of your city
in the great, day rise up and curse
yom stupidity and your neglect Down •
to work! Lift them tipi
One cold winter's day. us a Christian
man was going along the Buttery in
New Yolk, he saw a little girl seated at
the gate, shivering in the cold He said
to her: “My child, what do you sit
therefor, this cold day?” “Oh,"she
replied, “I am waiting—I am waiting
for somebody to come and take care of
me.” “Why,” said the man, “what
makes you think anybody will como
and take care of you ?” “Oh, ” she said,
“my mother died last week, und I wal
crying very much, aud she said; ‘Don’t
cry, dear; though 1 am gone und your
father is gone, the Lord will send some
body to take care of you.’ My mother
never told a lie; she said some one would
come and take care of me, and I am
waiting for them to come.” Oh. yes,
they are waiting for you. Men who
have money, men who have influence,
men of churches, men of great heaits.
gather them in, gather them iu. It is
not the will of your Heavenly Father
that one of these little ones should per
ish.
Peoi>le l.ooLiiiu Forward.
Lastly, the street impresses mo with
the fact that all the people are looking
forward. I see expectancy written on al
most every face I meet. Where yon find
n thousand people wal'.'iug straight on,
you only find one man stopping and
looking back. Tho fact is, God mado us
all to look ahead, because we aro im
mortal. In this tramp of tho multitude
on tho streets, I hear the tramp of a
great host, marching and marching for
eternity Beyond the office, tho store,
the shop, the street, there is a world,
populous and tremendous. Through
God’s grace, may you reach that blessed
place. A grtat throng tills thoso boule
vards, and tho streets are arush with
the chariots of conquerors. The inhabit
ants go up und down, but they never
weep, and they never toil. A river flows
through that city, with rounded and
luxurious hanks, and the trees of life,
laden with everlasting fruitage, bend
their branches into the crystal
No plumed hearse rattles over that
pavement, for they are never sick.
With immortal health glowing iu every
vein, they know not how to die. Those
towers of strength, tfrose palaces of
beauty, gleam iu the light of a snu that
never sets. Oh. heaven, beautiful heav

They fake no census iu that city, for it

tho gate into that city. Oh, start for it
today! Through the blood of tho great

TO MEET IN UNION.
Tli< State Clu iiitiuii Ruileawir Convcntluu
Will Meet lu A pi 11.
It lias been thought best,and agreed
to by all of the Executive Commit lee,
to h ive uur Stale Convention in April,
IU 21. 1'lie Union Society is delight
ed to hear this, as a large number are
students and could not be with us if
held in July. We trust that * be
change will meet with a unanimous
approval.
Now that the dale of the Conven
tion is fixed let us begin planning
for it ut once. When we say “us” we
do not mean simply the members of
the society which is to entertain the
Convention, but we mean each and
every Endeavorer iu the State. Let
those who are not residents of Union
forget that they have almost as much
to do towards making the Convention
a grand success us those who are res
idents. The success of tho C inven
tion depends on you and me. If we
strive hard to make it a success it will
be a success; but if you and J fail to
do our duty that lessens the success
of the Convent ioti. You uru one ol
the wheels of this great movement,
and if you neglect your duty then
the whole movement is impaired. So
then let each go to work for the Con
vention.
It is the sincere desire of the so
ciety litre—and we hope it is the de
sire of all—to make this Convention
one of the best, if not the best, tier
held; because wo are aware that us
the times advance we must advance
in our Christian religion in propor
tion. We are not to do this to have
it said that we surpassed all other
Conventions, but because we lovo the
Christian Endeavor cause, and are
anxious to see it prosper.
Suppose that from this moment
until the Convention, each society
and each individual begin thinking
und discussing some plans to be
brought out und developed at the
Convention, for the building up and
strengthening the Christian Endeavor
cause in our State. Suppose we form
a special committee for the Conven
tion, and to that committee submit
all our plans and suggestions, and let
that ^.committee take those plans,
study them, and at the proper time
present them to the Convention for
discussion pro and con. The com
mittee in presenting these telling
which society they are from, and
having thoroughly stuuied thtm they
will be able to push them. Of course
this committee will say whether a
plan is thought best by them to be
presented or not. The advantage of
having this committee will be that
they may be able to improve on the
plans; and that some one who can
not attend may have some to present,
and they will only have to present
them to this committe and be assured
that they will bu attended to. Then
the society or individual who presents
them will hare some others besides
themselves directly interested in their
plans. Then there should be a time
set on our program for hearing from
this committee and discussing the
plans they present.
Now dear readers what think you of
this? If you think it a good one let
us hear fromjyou at once, because it
depends entirely on you w helher tins
committe shall be appointed or not.
If you approve of such a committee,
say so, end begin at once to form plans
to lay before it.
