[Copyrlglit, Louis Klopsuh. 1S99.] WAsniaruTON, June 4.—In this dis course Dr. Talmage steers clear of the political entanglements of our time and recommends that which will meet the approval of all who hope for the per petuity of our republic and the welfare of other lauds; text. Genesis xxviii, 14, “Thou shall spread abroad to the west and to the east. ” Since the Americano-Hispanic war is concluded and the United States em bassador is on the way to Madrid and the Spanish embassador is on the way to Washington the people of our coun try are divided into expansionists and antiexpansionists. From a different standpoint than that usually taken I discuss this all absorbing theme. I leave the political aspect of this subject to statesmen and warriora and pray Al mighty God that they may be enabled rightly to settle the question whether the islands in controversy shall be final ly annexed or held under protectorate or resigned to themselves, while I call attention to the fact that a campaign of moral and religious expansion ought to be immediately opened on widest and grandest scale. At the close of this war God has put into Uie hands of this country the key to the world's redemption. Heretofore the religious movement in pagan lauds had to precede the educational. After in China and India and the islands of the sea the missionaries have labored over 30 or 75 years the printing press and tho secular school came in. Now to better advantage than ever before re ligious and secular enlightenment may go side by side, and so the work be ac complished in short time and more thoroughly Starting with the fact that In Cuba and Porto Rico and the Philip pine Islands at least thrse-fourths of the people can neither read nor write, what an opportunity for school and printing pressl Within five years every man in those islands may be taught to read not only the Bible, but the Declar ation of Independence and the consti tution of the United States and the biography of George Washington and cf Abraham Lincoln. It seems to me that the government of the United States ought by vote of congress afford common schools and printing presses to those benighted regions. Our national legislature by one vote appropriated sf.AO.OOO.OOO to give bread and medicine to Cuba. Why not hy a similar generosity give $50,000,- 000 for feeding and healing the minds and souls of those ignorant and besotted archipelagoes. In the name of God 1 nominate a school for every neighbor hood of Cubs, Porte Rico and the Phil ippiuea. Aa soon as the gavel falls at 12 o'clock of next Dec. 4 on the table of senate and house of representatives nnd the roll has been called and the prelim inaries observed let some member of our national legislature, with mind nnd soul and voice strong enough to be heard not only through those halls, but through Christendom, propose a meas ure for tho mental and moral disen- thrallmentof the islands in controversy XVhnt has made American civiliza tion the highest civilization the world has ever seen Y Next to tlie Bible and the church, schools, common schools, schools reaching from the Atlantic to tho Pacific and from British America to gulf of Mexico. Five years under such educational advantage, and this whole subject that keeps our public men agitated, some of them to frothing ut the* month, will settle itself. Give those islands readers, spellers, arithme tics. histories, blackboards, maps, geog raphies. globes. Let the state legisla tures at their next meeting, some of them assembling iu curly autumn, take parts of those islands under their es pecial educational patronage. What is needed is state and national action in this matter of schools. Work of the Printing Press. Then let the editorial associations of the United States, as many of snch organizations as there are states, resolve at the next convocation to establish in every region of those islands a printing press, to bo supported by people of this country until it can become self sup porting. Each of these state editorial associations sending out to those islands at least one editor and two reporters and enough typesetters, down will go the ignorance and superstition of those islands ns certainly as the Spanish fleet under Cervera sank under the pound ing cf onr American battleships, and into their every port will go intelli gence and lovo of free institutions as certainly as into the harbor of Manila went Admiral Dewey on that famous night when he was not expected. Hoe’s printing press! Nothing can stand be fore its bombardment Editors of American newspapers and publishers of American books! Take the ordination for such a magnificent service. Elo quence on yonder Capitol hill cannot meet the exigency. Epigrams of politi cal platforms or in state legislatures will not hasten the desired consumma tion one week or one hour or one mo ment. When Cabans and Porto Ricans and Filipinos see the morning and evening newspapers thrown into the doorways and hawked along the streets of Ha vana and Santiago nnd Manila, those who cannot read by the force of curiosi ty will learn to read, so that they may know what information is being scat tered, and that which may be mission ary effort at the start and carried on by Americans sent forth to do the work will noon be done by educated natives Porto Rican editors I Porto Rican re porters! Porto Rican typesetters! Porto Rican publishers! It was a great mercy to take these islands from under tbs heels of despotism, but it will be a mightier mercy to emancipate them from ignorance and degradation. The expansion of tho knowledge and intel- lectual qualification of all those islandy regions is the desire of all intelligent Americans. Awake, nil yon se||i M i|s and colleges and universities and printing presses, to your opportunity! Htill further, here is a wide open door for Christianity. First of all, we have thn attention of those people. The heathen nations are for the most part soporific. The American missionaries heretofore bad great difficulty in get ting heathendom to listen. They ox- cited some comment by their attire, so different was the parting of tho hair and the shape of the hat and tho cut of the coat ami the formation of the ohoe of tho cvaqgelizers, but the questions constantly arose in regard to the mis sionary: “Who is bet” “What is lie here for?’’ And then the interrogator would relax into the previous stupid in difference. But that condition of things has passed. The guns of our American navy have awakened those populations. They do not ask who we are. They have found out. They are now listen ing to what American civilization and our Christian religion have to say on any subject. Now is the time, while their ears and eyes are wide open, to tell them of the rescuing and salvable and inspiriting power of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world The steam printing press which secular education plants there may boused and will be used to print religions news papers and tracts and sermons and mighty discussions of questions tem poral aud eternal. Influence of Homcn. The comfortable homes of those pop ulations. when Christianized, standing side by side with the degraded lints of those who remain pagans will be revo lutionary for good. The Porto Rican nnd the Filipino will come out from this uncleansed and low roofed aud un inviting kennel and say to his neighbor of beautiful household, “Why cannot I have things as yon have them?” And when be finds that it is the Bible, with its teachings on family life nnd per sonal purity and exalted principle, and the church of God that proposes tho rectification of all evil and the implau fation of all good, he will cry out, “Give me the Bible, and the church, and the earthly alleviations, and the eternal hope which have wrought for you such transfiguration.” Now, church of God, now. all Chris tian philanthropists, is your opportun ity! Nothing like it has occurred aiuce Christ came. Perhaps there may bo nothing like It till his second coming Here is a definiteness of aim that is most helpful and inspiring. The mil lions of dollars given for the redemp tion of the world and tho thousands of glorious missionaries who have as volun teers gone forth among barbaric nations were given and enlisted under a great and immeasurable idea. But when they come to add to the great and immeas urable idea the idea of definiteness we will infinitely augment the work. More than three hundred million of heathen in India, more than three hundred mil lion of people in China and more mil lions of heathen than can be guessed outside of those countries sometimes stagger and confound and defeat our faith. But here in these islands of pres ent controversy we can farm out the work among the churches and in five years, under the blessing of God, not only fit the people for the right of suf frage, but prepare them for usefulness and heuvsa. The dllferuncc twtWMn the general idea of th« world’* evangel ization and soma particularized field of evangelization is th« difference between the improvement of agriculture among all nations and the improvement of 78 acres put under one’s especial cara and industry. By all means let the general work go on. But here is the specific field for religious concentration and de velopment. This is not chimerical or impractical. I read this morning that the American Missionary association of tiie Congregational church has already begun the work at San Juan, Utuado and Albonito, and all denomination# of Christians in six months will be in those islandy fields, and we all need with onr prayers and contributions to cheer them on to take for God and righteousness those regions which onr American navy has captured from Spanish perfidy. It has been estimated that this Americo-Spanish war cost us $300,000,- 000 It would not cost half of that to proclaim and carry on and consummate a holy war that will rescue those archi pelagoes from satanic domination. Who will volunteer? I beat the drum of a recruiting station. Who will enlist un der the* one starred, blood striped ban ner of Immanuel? Cuba and Porto Rico and the Philippines are stepping stones for our American Christianity to cross over aud take* the round world for God. We need a new evangelical alliance or ganized for this one purpose. In all de nominations there are those witii large enough hearts and who have been thor oughly enough converted to join In such an advanced movement—men who. putting aside all minor differences of opinion, “believe in God. the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and fti Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, ” and who would march shoulder to shoulder in such a gospel campaign. The result would bo that those islauds, after such a scene of gospelization, would assort themselves Into denomina tions to suit themselves, and some would he sprinkled in holy baptism and others would be immersed in those warm rivers and some would worship in religions assemblage silent as the Quaker meeting house, and others would have as many jubilant ejacula tions as a backwoods camp meeting, and some of those who preached would be gowned and snrpliced for tho work, and others would stand in citizen’s ap parel or in their shirtsleeves preaching that gospel which is to save the world. ItfllulouN Teaeliiiiit; Needed. Murk yon well that statesmanship, however grand it is, and wise men of the world, however noble, cannot do this work. Mere secular education does not moralize. Some of the most thor oughly educated men in all the world have been the worst men. Quicken a man’s intellect, while at the same time you do not make his morals good, and yon only augment his power for evil. Geography and mathematics and ineta- phsyicsand philosophy will never quali fy a people to govern themselves. A corrupt printing press is worse than no printing press at all, but let loose an open Bible upon thorn islands and let the apocalyptic angel once fly over them, and yon will prepare them to become either colonies of the United Htates government, or, as I hope will be the case, independent republics. God did not exhaust himself when ho built this nation. Those islands will yet have their Thomas Jeffereons, qualified to write for them declarations of inde pendence; and George Washingtons, capable of achieving their liberties; and Abraham Lincolns, strong enough to emancipate their serfdoms, and Long fellows and Bryants, capable of putting their hillsuml tboir rivers and their land- scapos into poems; and their Bancrofts end Preacotte, to make their histories; and their Irvings, to write tboir Sketch Books; and their Charles O’Conors and Rnfua Choates, to plead in their courtrooms; and their Daniel Webstera and John J. Crittendens, to move their senates. The day cometli—hear it all ye who have no hope for those islands of be dwarfed and diseased illiterates—the day coiueth when those regions will havo a Christian civilization equal to that which this country now enjoys, while I Lope by that time this country will bo as superior to what it now is as today Washington and New York arc bettor than Manila and Santiago. Do you see by this process of gospelized intelligence those archipelagoes will as a nation bo protected from dbe two woes prophesied in regard to this coun try—the one woe prophesied by the ex pansionists and the other woe proph esied by the antiexpansionista? It is said by those who would have ns take all we can lay our hands on as n nation that, unless wo enter the door now open for Uie enlargement of our na tional domain, we will decline the mis sion which God in his providence has assigned us. But surely no woo will come upon ns or upon them if we Christianize them as we now have the opportunity of doing. The political technicalities are nothing as compared with the importance of this movement I implore all political expansionists to augment ns in this work of moral and religions expansion, for unless those islands are moralized and elevated in intelligence and habits we do nut want them, and their annexation would be political damnation. On the other hand, I implore all nntiexpansionists to take a hand in the gospelization of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands. The only way to prepare them to take care of themselves is to give them tiie Ten Commandments that were pub lished ou Mount Sinai aud let them hear the groan of sacrifice that was breathed out on tho heights of Golgotha. Whut they mort want is the gospel, the pure gospel, the omnipotent goapel, the gosped that helps heal tho wounds of the body and irradiates the darkness of tho mind aud achieves the ransom of the soul. One PJKtform For All. But on this platform tho so called ex pansionists and so called antiexpan sionists will yet stand side hy side. Though I am not a prophet or the sen cf a prophet, within five years, if this religio-educational work is properly at tended to. there will bo a Cuban re public, a Porto Rican republic and a Philippine republic, none of them on a large scale, but they will all have their schools and printing presses and evan gelical churches, their presidents, their senates aud house of representatives, their mayors and their constabularies, and as good order will be observed in their cities as now reign# on Pennsyl vania avenue, Washington, or Broad way, New York. Christ has started for the conquest ai the nations, aud nothing ou earth or iu bell can stop it. The continents are rapidly rolling into hie dominion, and why not these islands, which for the most part are only fragments broken off from continents, the interval lauds having been sunk hy earthquakes, al lowing Tho ocean to take mastery over them? Each mother continent has around it a whole family of little con tinents. If the continents are being so rapidly evangelized, why not the is lauds? If America, why not Cuba and the Bahamas? If Asia, why not the Philippines and the Moluccas? If Eu rope, why uot tiie Azores and the Ork neys? If Africa, why not Madagascar and St. Helena? The same power that broke them off the mainland can lift them into evangelization. In the old book, which has become a new book by reason of modern discov eries. especial attention is called to the islands. “Declare the Lord’s praise in the islands, ” commands Isaiah. “Let the multitudes of the islands bo glad thereof.” says the psalmist. “All the islands of the heathen shall worship him,” writes Zepbaniah. "He shall turn his face to the islands,” prophesies Daniel. “The inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee,” foretells Ezekiel. “Hear it and declare it to the islands afar off,” exclaims Jeremiah. Yon seo from this tiie islands are not to be neglected. Perhaps they are the Lord’s favorites, as in households, if there is any favoritism at all, it is for the weakest. The islands, too small to take care of themselves, have the eter nal God to take cure of them Let na tions look out bow they tread on the islands, however small and weak, for they are omnipotently defended. They may not bo able to marshal large ar mies or to send out natives to sweep tho sea, but, better than that, they have the chariots of heaven on their eide and the drawn swords of tho Almighty. I Lave ns much fait if n Ihe salvation of the smallest island of the Fnlklands, of the Canaries, of the Ladrones, of the Carolines, of the Fi.jis, of the Barba* does, of the Cape Vcnb-s, of the Society islands, as I have in the salvation of America. Tho continents themselves are only larger islands, and the world iu which we live is only a still larger island, and the solar system is a group of islands, and the universe is an archipelago stud ded with islands of worlds, surrounded by the great ocean of infinitude and immensity* So you see when God plan ned the universe he diagrammed it into islands, nnd he will look after tho in terest of each of those islauds. however small, and England and Holland and France and Germany and America must not treat the smallest and weak est island that comes under their sway any different from the way they treat the strongest nation of all the earth. God may chiefly deal with individuals in the next world, but he deals with nations only in this world, and when persistently a nation practices injustice against other people it is only a ques tion of time when the offender will find ^ii» doom Tho path of time is strewn with the carcasses of nations that be cause of their maltreatment of other nations perished. Tho higher such offending empire# rise, the harder will he their fall r«*r|H-tullr of Oar Government. I believe the United States govern ment will last as long as the world lasts I believe the fires of the judgment day will leap on the domes of our state aud national capitals while yet they are in their full power, i believe tho last earthquake will put its explosion under ! our national foundations while yet they I •land firm I believe that Republican and Democratic form of government will bg the universal form cf govern ment for all nations when they have been evangelized for then tho nation# will be capable of self government and will have demanded and secured that right It will be either that or a the ocracy, which will be the direct govern ment of Christ in his personal reign on earth, as many Bible students believe. Yet that jubilant expectation is found ed uot on the skill of human statesman ship or ha man legislation, but upon the belief that this nation will submit to divine guidance and obey the divine law and carry out its divinely imposed mission. But if wo defy the God of na tions our doom is fixed. It required tho pen of an Edward Gibbon, through four great volumes of more than 500 pages each, to tell the story of “Tho Decline aud Fall of the Roman Empire,” concluding his monu mental work with the words, “It was among the ruins of the capital that I first conceived the idea of a work which has amused and exercised near 20 years of my life, aud which, however inade quate to my own wishes, I finally de liver to the curiosity and candor of the public.” What, tho Roman empire dead! Did slie lack warriors? No. Be hold her Poinpey and her Julius Ca?sar. Did she lack lawmakers and lawgivers? No. Think of the masters of Roman jurisprudence, our American attorneys today quoting those laws in our court rooms more than 15 centuries after they were enacted. In poetry did she not have her Virgil and Ovid? In his tory did she not have her Sallust and her Livy? In eloquence did she not hajgher Scipio and Cicero? In satire duMfle not have a Juvenal and a Hor- aerr What pens were wielded hy her Cato nnd her Terence and her Pliny! All nations heard the cry of her war eagles, the voices of her oratory and the chime of her cantos. But the day of judgment came for that nation, and Hannibal crossed the Apennines, aud the Goths and Vandals swooped, and tho Carthaginian fieet assailed aud Numidian horsemen galloped, and na tions combined, and Rome sank. The tourist now on the banks of the Tiber sees the ruins of her forum, the ruins of her coliseum, the ruins of her art, the mins cf her aqueducts, the ruins of her catacombs, tbe ruins of her pal aces. If our nation forgets its duty to other nations and practices injustice against other people, however insignificant, it will not take another Edward Gibbon 20 years and through four great vol umes to tell the story of the decline and fall of American institutions. By so much as our opportunities have iieon greater than any nation that over lived, and the mission to which she lias been ordained is more stupendous than any bestowed by the Almighty upon any people, if we forget our God aud enact wickedness our overthrow will be quick er and more tremendous, aud yonder Capitolina hill, with its architectural magnificence, will become a htuy of gigantic ruimi to be visited by the peo ple of other time# aud ottmr nations, who will read in letters of cruaked Mid crumbled marble that which David wrote many hundred years ago npon parchment, “The way of the wicked b« turneth upside down.” Garlnodn For Onr lieroe*. We concluded a few days ago the an nual decoration of northern and south ern graves. Three years ago, at this sea son, in memorial sermon I proposed the twisting of two garlands—one to ha put npon the grave of tho northern sol dier and the other to bo put on the grave of the southern soldier. But tki# year we need three garlands, the third to bo put upon the graves of tho«e who fell in this Americo-Hispanic conflict. The third garland needs to he quite as fragrant and as radiant as the other two. These last heroes braved more than bayonets and bombshell. They braved the pestiferous breath of the tropics— whole battalions, whole regiments, whole brigades, whole armies of death- fnl malaria. They confronted those op positions of the torrid climes which no sword can pierce, uo agility climb, no stiatagem Hank, no torpedo explode, no courage conquer. Under the awful charge of visible and invisible hosts about 0.000 men went down, some to instant death and others through Hn* gering pangs In hospital. If in this third wreath you twist tho crimson rcse, suggestive of sanguinary sacrifice, and the white calls lily, sug gestive of glorious resurrection, put in also a few forgetmenots, suggestive of remembrance,and a few passion flowers, suggestive of the love that mourns the slain, and a few heliotropes, suggestive of the fragrance of their memory. Then let the night’s dew put tho tears into the blue eyes of the violets, nnd all the soldiers’ cemeteries be so many censers burning incense before tho throne of that God who has been the friend of this nation from the time of Lexington to the time of San Juan Hill, from the guns of tho United States warships Constitution and Constellation, ut i.ie beginning cf this century, to the guns of tho United States warships Olympia, Oregon, Brooklyn and other loaded thunders at the close of this century. Remember here and now that those brave boys opened np tho way fur a kind of expansion wo all believe in They swung open the gates for tiie speedy gospelization of islands stupid with the superstition of ages. They cleared the way for missionaries and Bibles. They set those islands free. Leaving to the United States govern ment to decide what shall be the politi cal destiny of those peoples, let ns nil join in a campaign of religious expan sion—expansion of affection that can take all the world iu, expansion of onr theologies until none shall reject their broad invitation, expansion of hope that embraces eternity as well as time, expansion of effort that will not cease till the whole earth is saved and the time arrives when tho prophecy shall be fulfilled, and “they shall come from tho north and tho south and the east and the west nnd sit down in the king dom of God, and the last shall he first and the first last. ” Week before last, In this capital of the nation, we set three nights on fire in celebration of naval nnd soldiery heroics, nnd thero were rocket# of lire, and wheels of fire, ami sheave# of fire, and sponting fountains of lire, and bombardment# of fire, and ships of fire Hank in billows of fire, and those three nights were three garlands of fire. But now wo are in softer and quieter mood, and the three garland# of today are woven of blossoms aud rorolh'-t of nil color# and all pungencies of aroma, and we bethink ourselves that this third garland was needed to chain together tbe north m garland of other decorative times lo the southern garland ,,f other decorative times. Floral chain of three links! For the first time iu 60 years the north and south stand in complete brotherhood. Heroes of Vermont and Alaliama, of Massachusetts and South Carolina, of Maine and Louisiana, shoulder to shoulder! May that alliance remain until the last oppression is ex tirpated from the earth and all nations stand in the liberty with which Christ would make all people freel \Yooiiiii'-it T.*k«* City.
