Louis KlopHch, JSS!>.] VVAsuiNtfTON, May 21.—lu these dnys of moral awakening this pointed h.t- uion by Dr. Taltnago on personal re- sponsibility before (lod will be read with a deep and solemn interest; text, Daniel v, 27, “Thou art weighed in the balance and art found wanting.” Babylon was the paradise of archi tecture, and driven out from thence the grandest buildings of modern times are only the evidence of her fall. The site having been selected for the city, 2,000,000 men were employed in the rearing of her walls and the building of her works. It was a city 00 miles in circumference. There was a trench all around tho city, from which the ma terial for the building of tin* city had j been digged. There were 35 gates on I each side of the city; between every two gates a tower of defense springing into tho skies; from each gate on the one side, a street running straight through to the corresponding gate on the other side, so that there were 50 streets 15 miles long. Through the city ran a branch of tho river Euphrates. Tliis river tometlines overflowed its banks, and, to keep it from ruining tho city, a lake was constructed into which the surplus water of the river would run during the time of freshets, and the water was k pt in this artificial lake until time of drought, and then this water would stream down over the city. At either end of the bridge span ning this Euphrates there was a palace —the one palace a mile and a half around, the other palace seven and a half miles around. The wife of Nebuchadnezzar hud been born and brought up in the country, and in a hiouutainous region, and she could not bear this fiat district of Babylon, and so, to please his wife, Nebuchadnezzar built in the midst of the city a mountain 400 feet high. This mountain was bnilt cut into terraces supported on arches. On the top of these arches a layer of tint stones, on the top of that n layer of reeds and bitumen, cu the top of that two layers of bricks closely cemented, on the top of that a heavy sheet of lead, and on the top of that the soil placed—the soil so deep that a Lebanon cedar had room to anchor its roots. There were pumps worked by mighty machinery, fetching up the water from the Euphrates to this hanging garden, us it was called, so that there were fountains spouting into the sky. Standing below and look ing up, it must have seemed as if the clouds were in blossom, or as though th« #iy l«a»*d on the ahoolder of a cedar. All tble NebnchadseeMf 414 to plMie hie wife. Weil, ehe ought to have been pleased. I euppoae she was pleased. If that would not pleawe her, nothing would. There was in that city also tho temple of Behifl, with towers — one tower the eighth of a mile high, in which there was an observatory where astronomers talked to the stars. There was in that temple an image, just one image, which would cost what would be our $50,000,000. l-'oiim! WanttnK'. Oh. what a city! The earth never saw anything like it, never will see anything like it, and yet I have to tell you that it is going to be destroyed. The king and his princes are at a feast They are all intoxicated. Pour out the rich wine into the chalices! Drink to the health of the king I Drink to the glory of Babylon 1 Drink to a great fu ture! A thousand lords red intoxicated. The king seated upon a chair, with va cant look, as intoxicated men will— with vacant look stared at the wall But toon that vacant look takes on in tensity, and it is an affrighted look, anil all the piincea begin to look and wonder what is the matter, and they look at the same point on the wall, and then there drops a darkness into the room that puts out the blaze of the golden plate, and out of tbs sleeve of the darkness there comes a finger—a finger of fiery terror circling around and circling around as though it would write, and then k comes up and with sharp tip of flame it inscribes on the plastering of the wall the doom of tho king: “Weighed in the balances and found wanting. ” The bang of heavy fists against the gate s of the palace is followed by the breaking in of the doors. A thousand gleaming knives strike into 1,000 quivering hearts. Now death is king, and he is seated on a throne of corpses. In that hall there is a balance Jilted. God swung it. On one side of the balance are put Belshazzar’s oppor tunities, on the other side of tho bal ance are put Belshazzar's sins. The sins come down. His opportunities go up. Weighed in the balances—found want ing. No Perfect Ilalnnce. There has been a great deal of cheat ing in our country with false weights and measures and balances, and the government, to change that Hate of things, appointed commissioners whose business it was to stamp weights and measures and balances, and a great deal of the wrong has been corrected. But still, after all, there is no such thing as a perfect balance on earth. The chain may break or some of the metal may be clipped or in some way the equipoise may be disturbed. You cannot always depend upon earthly balances A pound is not always a pound, and you may pay for one thing and get another, but in the balance which is suspended to the throne of God, a pound is a pound and right is right and wrong is wrong and u soul is a soul and eternity is eter nity. God has a perfect bushel and a pt ifect peck and a perfect gallon. When msrcbanU weigh tbelr goods in tint wrong way, then the Lord weighs th* goods again. If from the imperfect measure the merchant pours out what pretends to be a gallon of oil, and there is less than a gallon, God knows it, and he calls upon his recording angel to mark it. “So much wanting in that measure of oil." The farmer comes in from the country. He has apples to Fell. He has an imperfect measure. Hu pours out the a'vies from this imperfect aeasnre. ■♦'ed recognizes it. He says to lie recording angel, “Mark down so many apples too few- an imperfect measure." Wc may cheat ourselves, and we may cheat the world, but we cannot cheat God, and in the great day uf judgment it will he found out that what we learned in boyhood at school is correct; that twenty hundredweight makes a ton, and 120 solid feet make a cord of wood. No more, no less, and a religion which docs not take hold of this life, as well as tho life to come, is no religion at all. WeiRli Principles. But, my friends, that is not tho style of balances I am to speak of today; that is not the kind of weights and measures. I am to speak of that kind of balances which weigh principles, weigh churches, weigh men, weigh na lions and weigh worlds. “What!” you say. “Is it possible that our world is to be weighed!” Yes. Why, you would think if God put on one side of tho bal ances suspended from the throne the Alps and tbs Pyrenees and the Hima layas and Mount Washington and all the cities of the earth they would crush it. No, no! The time will come when God will sit down on the whito throne to see the world weighed, and on one sido will be tho world’s opportunities and on the other sido the world’s sins. Down will go the sins and away will go the opportunities and God will say to the messengers with the torch: “Burn that world I Weighed and found wanting!” So God will weigh churches. He takes a great church. That church, great ac cording to the worldly estimate, must be weighed. He puts it on one side the | balances and the minister and the choir i and tlio building that co»t its hundreds : of thousands of dollars. He puts them on one side the balances. On the other side of the scale he puts what that church ought to be, what its consecra tion ought to be, what its sympathy for the poor ought to be, what its devotion to all good ought to be. That is on one side. That side comes down, and the church, not being able tostandtho test, rises iu the balances. It does not make any difference about jour magnificent machinery. A church is built for one thing—to save souls. If it saves a few souls when it might sava a multitude of fouls, God will spuw it out of his mouth. Weighed and found wanting! A HitliiUjr to U«r Cured. Pc we perceive that (iod estimates nations. How many times he has put the .Spanish monarchy Into the scales and found it insufficient and condemned it! Thu French empire was placed on one side of the soules, and Gud weighed tho French empire, and Napoleon said: “Have I not enlarged the boulevards? Did I not kiudlo the glories of ths Champs Elyseis? Have I not adorned the Tuileries? Have I not built the gilded opera houseV Then God weigh ed the nation, and ho put on one side the teal™ the emperor and the boule vards and the Tuileries and the Champs Ely.-ees and the gilded opera house, and on the other sido he puts that man’s abominati. ns, that man’s iihortiuibni, that man’s selfishness, that man’s god less ambition. This last came down, and all the brilliancy of the scene van* isbed. What is that voice ceuiag up from S«dan V Waigked ao4 found want ing ! But 1 in nut bncoiae uar* individual and more personal iu mj address. Soma people say they do not think clergymen ought to bo personal in their religious address, but ought to deal with subjects in the abstract. I do cot think that way. What would you think of a hunter who should go to ^ie Adirondacks to shoot deer in the abstract? Ah, no! He loads the gun; ho puts the butt of it against his breast, he runs his oye along the barrel, he takes sure aim, and then crash go the antlers on the rocks! And so, if we want to be hunters for the Lord, we must take sure aim and fire. Not in the abstract are w« to treat things in religions diecuasioua. If a physician comes into a sickroom, doe* he treat disease in the abstract? No. , He feels the pulse, takes the diagnosis, i then he writes the prescription. And if we want to heal souls for this lifo and the life to come, we do not want to treat them in the abstract. The fact ia, j yon and I have a malady which, if un- I cured by grace, will kill ns forever. ; Now, I want no abstraction. Where is the balm? Where is the physician? Strlkina; n OnlMiiee. People say there is a day of judg ment coming. My friends, every day is a day of judgment, and you and I to day are being canvassed, inspected, weighed. Here are the balances of the sanctuary. They are lifted, and we must all be weighed. Who will come and ho weighed first? Here is a moral ist who volunteers. He is ono of the most upright men in the country. He comes. “Well, my brother, get in—get into the balances now and be weighed. ” But as he gets into the balances I say, “What is that bundle yon have along with yon?” “Oh,” lie says, “that is my reputation for goodness and kindness and charity and generosity and kindli ness generally!” “Oh, my brother, we cannot weigh that! We are going to weigh you—you. Now stand iu the icalea—yea, the moralist. Paid your debts?” “Yes,” you say, "paid all my debts.” “Have you acted iu an up right way in the community?” “Ye*, yes. ” “Have you been kind to the poor? Are yon faithful in a thousand relations in life?” “Yes.” “So fur, so good. But now, before you get ont of this scale I want to ask yon two or three questions. Have your thoughts always been right?” “No,” you say; “no.” Put down one mark. “Have you loved th* Lord with all your heart apd soul and mind and strength?” “No,” you say. Make another mark. “Como now, be frank and confess that in 10,000 things you have come short, have you not?” “Yes.” Make 10,000 marks. Come now, get me n book large enough to make the record of the moralist’s deficits. My brother, stand iu tho scales, do not fly away from them. I put on your side the scales all the good deeds yon ever did, all the kind words yon ever nt* tered. But on the other sido the scales I put this weight which God says I must put tbore—on tho other side the acnlea and opposite to your* I put this weight, “By the deeds of the law shall no flush living he justified.” Weighed and found wanting I Creed* Won’t Save. Still, the balances of the sanctuary are suspended and we are ready to weigh any who come. Who shall he the next? Well, here is n formalist. He comes and he gets into the balances, and as be gets in I see that all his re ligion is in genuflections and in outward observances. As he gets into the scales I say, “What is that you have in this pocket?” “Ohl” lie says, “that is a Westminster assembly catechism.” I say: "Very good. What have yon in , tho other pocket?” “Ohl” he says, "that is tho Heidelberg catechism." “Very good. What is that yon have under your arm, standing in this bal ance of the sanctuary?” “Oh!” be says, “that is a church record. ” “Very good. What are these books on your side tho balances?” “Ohl" he says, “those are ‘Calvin’s Institutes. ’ ” “My brother, we are not weighing books, we are weighing you. It cannot he that you are dep< tiding for your salvation npon your orthodoxy. Do you not know that the creeds and the forms of religion are merely the scaffolding fo» tho build ing? You certainly are not going to mistake tho scaffolding for the temple. Do you not know that men have gone to perdition with a catechism in their pocket?” “But,” says tho man, “I cross myself often.” “Ah ! that will not save you." “But,” says tho man, “I am sympathetic for tiie poor. ” “That will not save you. ” bays the man, “I eat at the communion table.” “That will not save you.” “But,” says tho man, “I have had my name on the church record.” “That will not save yon.” “But I have been a professor of religion 40 years. ” “That will not save yon. Stand there on your side the bal ances, and I will give you the advan tage—I will let you have all the creeds, all the church records, all the Christian conventions that were ever held, all the communion tables that were ever built, on your side the balances. On the other side the balances I must put what God says I must put there. I put this 1,000,- 000 pound weight on the other side the balances, ‘Having the form of godli ness, but denying tho power thereof.’ ” Weighed and found wanting! Two Great (incMtlona. Still tho balances are suspended. Are there any others who would like to be weighed or who will be weighed? Yea; here comes a worldling. He gets into the scales. I can very easily see what his whole life is made up of. Stocks, dividends, percentages, “buyer ten days,” “buyer 30 days.” “Get in, my friend, get into these balances and be weighed—weighed for this life and weighed for the life to come. ” Ho gets iu. 1 find that the two great questions in hi* life are, “How cheaply can I buy these goods?” and “How dearly can I sell them?” I find he admires heaven because it is a laud of gold, and money must he “easy.” I find, from talking with him, that religion and the bab- buth are an interruption, a vulgar in terruption, and ho hopes on the way to church to drum up a now customer! All the week ho has beeu weighing fruits, weighing meats, weighing ice, weighing coals, weighing confections, weighing worldly and perishable com- ninditiev, not realizing tlio fact that he himself li»fj beeu weighed. “On your sido the balances, O worldling! I will give you lull advantage. I put on your side till the bunking houses, ail the storehouses, nil the cargoes, all the in surance companies, all the factories, all the silver, all the gold, all the money vaults, all tho safe deposits—all on your side. Br.t It does not add one ounce, for at the vary &n>ai*nt w* ara «oa§Mt- alatlng > a« on your ia* hanaa and npoa your yviacaly iacaiaa God au4 th* uagofr ara writing iu ragard to your soul, ‘Weighed and found want ing!’ ” I must go faster and apeak of the liuttl scrutiny. The feet is. my friends, we are moving on amid aston ishing realities. These pulses which now are drumming tho march of life may, after awhile, call a halt. We walk on a hair hung bridge over chasms. All around us are dangers lurking, ready to spring on us from ambush. Welle down at night, not knowing whether wo shall arise in the morning. Weaturt out for our occupations, not knowing whether wo shall come back. Crowns being burnished for thy brew or bolts forged fur thy prison. Angc-is of light ready to shout at thy deliverance or fiends of darkness stretching ont skele ton hands to pull thee down into ruin consummate I Ilefm-e the JiicIro. Suddenly the judgment will he here. The angel with one foot on the sea and the other foot on the land will swear by him that liveth forever and ever that time shall he no longer: “Behold, he cometh with clouds, and every eye shall see him.” Hark to the jarring of the mountains. Why, that is the setting down of the scales, tho balances. And then there is a flash as if from a cloud, bnt it is the glitter of thu shining bal ances, and they are hoisted, and all na tions are to ho weighed. The unforgiven get in on this side the balances. They may have weighed themselves and pro nounced a flattering decision. The world may have weighed them and pro nounced them moral. Now they are being weighed iu God’s balances—the balances that can make no mistake. All the property gone, all the titles of dis tinction gon 2, all the worldly successes gone. There is a soul, absolutely noth ing but a soul, an immortal soul, a nev er dying soul, a soul stripped of ail worldly advantages, n soul on ons side the scales. On the other side the bal ances are wasted Sabbaths, disregarded sermons, 10,000 opportunities of mercy and pardon that were cast aside. They are on the other side the scales, and there God stands, and in the presence of men and devils, cherubim and arch angel he announces, while groaning earthquake and crackling conflagration and judgment trumpet and everlasting storm repeat it, “Weighed and found wanting!” Iu the Scales. But, Fay some who are Christians: “Certainly yon don’t mean to say that we will have to get into the balances? Our sins are all pardoned, our title to heaven is secure. Certainly you are not going to put us in the balances?" “Yes, my brother. We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, and on that day yon are going to be weigh ed. Oh. follower of Christ! yon get into the balances. The bell of tfie judgment Is ringing. You must get into the bal ances. Von get in on this side. On tlio other side th* balances we will place all the opportunities of good which you did not Improve, all the attainments In piety which yon might have had, but which you refused to take. We place them all on the other sido. They go down, and your soul rises in the scale. You cannot weigh against all those im perfections. Well, then, we must give you the advantage, and on your side the scale we will place all the good deeds yon have ever done, and ail the kiml words you have ever uttered. Too light yet! Well, we must put on yonr side all the consecration of your life, all the holiness of yonr life, all tlio prayers of your life, all the faith of your Christian life. Too light yet! Come mighty men of the past and get in on that side the scales. Come, Payson and Doddridge and Baxter, get in on that side the scales and make them come down, that this righteous ono may be saved. They come and they gi t in the hcales. Too light yet! Come, the martyrs, the Lati* mors, the Wyclifs, the men who suf fered at the stake for Christ. Get in on this side tho Christian’s balances, ami see if you cannot help him weight it aright. They come and get in. Too light! Como, angels of God on high. Let not the righteous perish with the wicked. They get in on this sido tho balances. Tfoo light y«t! I put on this sido the balances all the scepters of light, all the thrones of power, all tho crowns of glory. Too light yet! But just at that point, J^sus, tho Hon of God, comes up to the balances, and he puts one of his scarred feet on your side, aud the balances begin to tremble from top to bottom. Then he puts both of ids scarred feet on the balances, and the Christian’s side comes down with a stroke that sets all tho bell* of heaven ringing. That rock of ages heavier than any other weight! A Glorious i!o|><". But says the Christian, “Am I to be allowed to get off so easily?” Yes. If some one should come and put on the other side the scale* all your imperfec tions, all your envies, all your jealous ies, all yonr inconsistencies of life, they would not budge the scales with Christ ou yonr side the scales. Go free! There is no condemnation to them that are iu Christ Jesus. Chains broken, prison houses opened, sins pardoned. Go free! Weighed iu the balances and nothing, notfiing wanted. Oh, what a glorious hope! Will you accept it this day? Christ making up for what you lack. Christ tho atonement for all your sins. Who will accept him? Will not this whole audience say: “lam insufficient, I am a sinner. I am lost by reason of my transgressions, but Christ has paid it all. My Lord and my (iod, my life, my pardon, my heaven. Lord Jesus, I hail theel” Oh, if you could only un derstand the worth of that sacrifice which I have represented to you under a figure—if yon could understand the worth of that sacrifice, this whole au dience would this moment accept Christ and be saved. We go away off or back into history to get aonie illustration by which wo may set forth what Christ has done for us. We need not go so far. 1 saw a vehicle behind a runaway horse dash ing through the street, a mother and her two children iu the carriage. The horse dashed along as though to haul them to death, and a mounted police man, with a about clearing the way and the horse at full run, attempted to seize those runaway horses to save a calam ity, when his own horse fell and rolled over him. He was picked up half dead. Why were our sympathies so stirred? because he was badly hurt and hurt for others.
