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?

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

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

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. But I tell you today of how

The stockholders of the Piedmont.
S. C., Manufacturing Comgany held
their annual meeting last week. The
report of the president and treasurer
showed that the year had been one of
prosperity. A number of improve
ments had been made, among which
was the remodeling of Mill No. 1 and
putting in new machinery to take the
p!hco of old. There were compara
tively few of the stockholders present,
but as fflr ns’we could learn they were
delighted with everything.^Not the
least important feature of the event
was the magnilicient dinner furnished
by H. M. Geer, of the Piedmont hotel.
The dining room was decorated with
the most exquisite taste, and a sump
tuous dinner was served.
People who have once taken De-
Witt’s Little Early Risers will never
have anything else. They are the
“famous little pills” for torpid liver
and all irregularities of the system.
