[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,

Mrs. Brewer’s Humane Work.
A 'well-to-do Rhode Island lady, who looks afttr the srek of her city, writes to
Dr. Hartman of her practical experience with Fe-ru-na.
is blessed with some good
Samaritans. Mrs. Lizzie
M. Brewer, of 100 High
St., Westerly, R. I., is a
noble woman who devotes a great deal of time and money
to oaring for the si«k of Westerly, bhc has been lor
several years one of I’e-ru-na’s strongest
friends, and under date of March 17, IbKe, she
writes the following letter to t)r. Hartman,
Columbus, O., the originator of Pe-ru-na:
“ Your welcome advice is ut hand, and my
/fedk \ gratitude is unbounded for the privilege I
enjoy of consulting so renowned a physician
s a “' as yourself, always receiving such prompt
and satisfactory replies to my questions.
And what amazes me most is that this
can Ve done year after year, with unfail
ing certainty, free «f charge. 1
have learned that you have become
to thousands and thousands of
w households the same beneficent
guide and adviser that
to my household.
“As for your free books, I read
them everyone, and treasure their
contents at> the choicest wisdom. I
J have used Pc-ru-na in my family
for over four } ears. I find it a sura
euro for all catarrhal affections so common in this part of the country. It
cures (* cold at once; thero is no cough medicine that can at all equal Pe-ru-na;
as for la grippe there is no other remedy that can at all compare with Pe-m-na.
1 notico in medical journals and from the testimony of my neighbors that tbs
doctors seem quite unsuccessful in treating la grippe, especially in removing
the after effects of lu grippe. From personal observation in many eases I l.n *v
that Pe-ru-na is a sure specific for these cases. I am among the sick a grsat
deal in our city, and have supplied many invalids with Pe-ru-na, simply because
I am enthusi^tio in my faith us to its results. I have never known it to fail to
quickly and permanently remove that demoralized statu of the human system
which follow# la grippe.
“In cases of weaknesses peculiar to my sex I am sure that no other remedy caw
approach in good results the action of Pe-ru-na. It meets all the bad symptoms
Li which females are subject. The irregularities and nervousness, the debility
and misery, which afflict more or ’ ss the women from girlhood to change of
life, arc one nnd all met and ove :oine by your excellent Pe-ru-na. I wish
every young lady in our city could read your hook ‘ Health and Beauty.’ Any
one wishing to inquire of mo further can do so by enlcosing a stamp for reply.”
you are
Brewer.

Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield,

caught cold, which settled on her
lungs; she was treated for a month
by her family physician, hut grew
worse, lie told her she was a hope
less victim of consumption and that
no medicine could cure her. Her
druggist suggested Dr. King’s New
Discovery for Consumption; she
bought a bottle and to her delight
found herself benefitted from first
dose. Hhe continued its use and af
ter taking six bottles, found herself
sound and well; now does her own |
housework, and is as well as she ever |
was—Free trial bottles of this Great ]
