Washington, Oct. 1. — At a time
When the whole nation is stirred with
patriotic emotion tit the return of Ad
miral George Dewey nnd Ids gallant
men on the cruiser Olympia and tlio
MMgniliceut reception (iceoriicd to
them, the Itev. Dr. T. De Witt Tal-
tnngo, in this sermon, preaching to
a vast audience, appropriately recalls
for devout and patriotic purposes some
of ilie great naval deeds of olden and
more recent times. Text, James iii, 4,
-Behold also the ships.”
if tliis exclamation was appropriate
about 1,87- years ago, when it was
written concerning the crude lishing
smacks that sailed Lake Galilee, how
much more appropriate in an age
which has 1 uinched from the dry docks
for purposes of peace the Oceanic of
the While Star line, the Lueania of
the Canard line, the St. Louis of the
American line, the Kaiser Wilhelm
tier Grosso of the North German Lloyd
lino, the Augusta Victoria of the Ham
burg American line, and in an age
which for purposes of war has launch
ed the Oregon, the Brooklyn, the
Texas, the Olympia, the Iowa, the
?.iassachusetts, the Indiana, the New
York, the Marietta of the last war, and
the scarred veterans of war shipping,
like the Constitution or the Alliance or
the Constellation that have swung into
the naval yards to spend their last
days, their decks now all silent of the
feet that trod them, their rigging till
silent of the bauds that clung to them,
their portholes silent of the brazen
throats that once thundered out of
them.
Ik in the first century, when war ves
sels were dependent on the oars that
paddled at the side of them for pro
pulsion, my text was suggestive, with
bow much more emphasis and mean
ing and overwhelming reminiscence we
can cry out as we see the Kearsarge
lay across the bows of the Alabama
it ml sink it, teaching foreign nations
they had better keep their hands off
our American tight, or as we see the
ram Albemarle of the Confederates
running out ami in the Roanoke and
up tind down the coast, throwing ev
erything into confusion as no other
craft ever did, pursued by the Miami,
the Ceres, the Southfield, the Sassacus,
the Maltabesett. the Whitehead, tlio
commodore Hull, the Louisiana, the
.Minnesota and other armed vessels, all
trying in vain to catch Iter, until Cap
tain Cushing, 21 years of age, and his
men blew her up, himself and only
one other escaping, and as 1 see the
flagship Hartford, and the Richmond,
and the Monongahela, with other gun
boats, sweep past the batteries of Tort
Hudson, anil the Mississippi Hows for
ever free to till northern and southern
craft, and under the fire of Dewey and
his men the Spanish sltips at Manila
burn or sink, and the licet rushing out
of Santiago harbor are demolished by
our guns, and tin* brave Cervera sur
renders, I cry out with a patriotic
eniothii) that I cannot suppress if I
would, and would not if I could, “Be
hold also the ships.”
Full Sjiced Afcoml.
Full justice lias been done to tlio
men who at different times fought on
the land, but not enough has been said
of those who on siiip’s deck dared and
suffered ail things. Lord God of the
rivers and the sea. help me in this ser
mon! No, ye admirals, com in tinders,
captains, pilots, gunners, boatswains,
sailmaki rs, surgeons, stokers, mess
mates and seamen of ail names, to
use your own parlance, we might as
well get under way and stand out to
sea. Let all landlubbers go ashore.
Full speed now! Four bells!
Never since the sea fight of Lepanto,
where ."(>0 royal galleys, manned by
r.'.U'iO warriors, at sunrise, Sept. 0,
ir.71, met 2.70 royal galleys, manned by
120.000 men, and In the four hours of
battle 8.000 fell < a one side and 2.7,-
oiiO on the other; yea, never since the
day wiieii at Aetium, 21 years before
Christ, Augustus with 200 ships scat
tered tin- 220 ships of Mark Antony
and t;.lined universal dominion as the
prize; yea. since the day when at
Salamis the 1,2(»0 galleys of the Per
sians, manned by .MX),000 men. were
eruslied by Greeks with less than a
third of that force; yea, never since
the time of Noah, the first ship captain,
lias the world seen such a miraculous
creation as that of the American navy
! in IStil.
There were about 200 available sea-
| mi n in all the naval stations and re-
i reiving ships and here and there an
j old vessel Yet orders were given to
j bloekado It 7C0 miles of sea coast,
gnater than the whole const of Ku-
lope, ami, besides that, the Ohio, Ton
ne' ce, Ciunberland, Mississippi and
! oilier great rivers, covering an extent
j of 2,000 more miles, were to lie pa-
tr lied. No wonder the whole civilized
world burst Into guffaws of laughter
at the seeming Impossibility. But the
work was dmie, dune almost linmedi-
iilelv. dune t Puroimhly nnd done with
a sprid mil consummate skill that

In the cemeteries for Federal and
Confederate dead are the bodies of
most of those who fell on the laud.
P»ut where those are who went down
in the war vessels will not be known
until the sea gives up Us dead. The
Jack Tars knew that, while loving
arms might carry the men who fell
on the land and bury them with solemn
liturgy and the honors of war, for the
bodies of fliose who dropped from the
ratlines into the sea or went down
with all on board under the stroke of a
gunboat there remained the shark and
the whale and the endless tossing of
the sea which cannot rest. Once a
year, in the decoration of the graves,
those who fell in the laud were remem
bered. But how about the graves of
those who went down at sea? Noth
ing but the archnugers trumpet ■hail
reach their lowly bed. A few of them
were gathered Into naval cemeteries of
the land, and we every year garland
the sod that covers them. But who
will put fiowers on the fallen crew of
the exploded Westfield and Shuwsboen
and the sunken Southfield and the
Winfield Scott? Bullets threatening In
front, bombs threatening from nlmve,
torpedoes threatening from beneath,
and the ocean, with its reputation of
Ci.ixm) years for shipwreck, lying all
around, am I not right in saying it re
quired a special courage for the navy
in 1803 as it required especial courage
in 18!!8 i
ChrtMt (lie Admiral.
It looks picturesque and beautiful to
see a war vessel going out through the
Narrows, sailors in new rig singing,
A life on the ocean wave,
A home on the rolling deep,
|
the colors gracefully dipping to pass- j
Ing ships, the decks immaculately clean
and the guns at quarantine firing u
parting salute. But the poetry is all
gone out of that ship as it comes out
of that engagement, its deck red with
human blood, wheelhouse gone, the
cabins a pile of shattered mirrors and
destroyed furniture, steering wheel
broken, smokestack crushed, a hun
dred pound Whitworth rifle shot hav
ing left its mark from port to star
board. the shrouds rent away, ladders
splintered and decks plowed up and
smoke blackened nud scalded corpses
lying among those who are gasping
their last gasp far away from home
and kindred, whom they love as wo
love wife and parents and children.
Oh, men of the American navy re
turned from Manila and Santiago and
Havana, as well as those who are sur
vivors of the naval conflicts of lSt»3
and 18(14, men of the western gulf
squadron, of the eastern gulf squad
ron, of the south Atlantic squadron, of
the north Atlantic squadron, of the
Mississippi squadron, of the 1‘nelfie
squadron, of the West India squad
ron and of the Potouinc flotilla, hear
our thunks! Take the benediction of
our churches. Accept the hospitali
ties of the nation. If we had our
way, we would get you not only a pen
sion, but a home and a princely ward
robe and ttn equipage and a banquet
while you live and after your departure
a catafalque and a* mausoleum of
sculptured marble, with a model of the
ship in which you won the day. It is
considered a gallant thing when in a
naval light the flagship with its blue
ensign goes ahead up a river or into n
bay, its admit al standing In the
shrouds watching and giving orders.
But I have to tell you. O veterans of
the American uavy, If you are as loyal
to Christ as you were to the govern
ment. there is a flagship sailing ahead
of you of which Christ Is the admiral,
and he watches from the shrouds, and
the heavens are the blue ensign, nnd he
leads you toward the harbor, and all
the broadsides of earth and hell can
not damage you, and ye whivse gar
ments were once red with your own
blood shall have a rol>e washed nnd
made white In the blood .of the Lamb.
Then strike eight bells! High noon in
heaven!
A Word For Veteran*.
While wo are heartily greeting and
banqueting the sailor patriots Just now
returned we must uot forget the vet
erans of the navy now in marine hos
pitals or spending their old days lu
their own or their children's homo-
steads. O ye veterans, I charge you
bear up under the aches and weak
nesses that you still carry from tho
wartimes. You are not ns stalwart as
you would have been but for that nerv
ous strain nnd for that terrific ex
posure. Let every ache and pain, In
stead of depressing, remind you of
your fidelity. Yon have In nerve
and muscle and bone and dimmed eye
sight and dllllcult hearing and short
ness of breath tunny Intimations that
you are gradually going down. It Is
the service of many years ago that Is
telling on you. Be of good cheer. We
owe you Just ns much ns though year
lifeblood had gurgled through the scup
pers of tho ship In the Red river ex
pedition or as though you had gone
down with the Melville off Hatlerns.
Only keep your flag (lying, as did the
Illustrious Wreliawlten. Good cheer,
my boys! The memory of man Is poor,
and all that talk about the country
: never forgetting those who fought for
: It Is an untruth. It does forget. Wlt-
! ness how the veterans sometimes had
j to turn the hand organs on the street
! to get their families a living. Wit-
! ness how ruthlessly some of them were
i turned out of ofllce that some bloat of
I a politician might take their place.
1 Witness the fact that there Is not a
man or woman now under 45 years of
age who lias any full appreciation of
the four years’ martyrdom of 1801 to
180.7, Inclusive. But. while men may
forget, God never forgets, lie remem
bers the swinging hammock. He re-
1 members the forecastle. He retnetn-
I bets the frozen ropes of that January
j tempest. lie remembers the nmputa-
l tlou without sutlklent ether, lie re-
| members the horrors of that deafening
night when forts from both sides belch
ed on you their fury and the lien veils
glowed with ascending and descend
ing missiles of death and your ship
’ quaked under the recoil of the one him-
, tired pounder, while all the gunners,
j according to command, stood on tip-
j toe, with mouth wide open, lest the
concussion shatter hearing or brain.
1 He remembers it all better than you
I remember It, and in n.me shape re-
1 ward will be given. G( 1 is the best ot
till paymasters, and for those who do
their whole duty to him uud the wojdd
the pension awarded is an everlasting
heaven.
CliaiiKl»lf Scene*.
Sometimes off the coast of England
the royal family have Inspected the
British uavy, maneuvered before them
for that purpose. In the Baltic sen the
czar and czarina have reviewed the
Russian uavy. To bring before the
American people the debt they owe to
the uavy I go out with you on the At
lantic ocean, where there Is plenty of
room, ami In iuiagiiintlo;i review the

In full blast, sheaves of crystal tossing
from their cutting prows.
And now nil the squadrons of all de
partments, from smallest tugboat to
mightiest man-of-war, are in proces
sion, docks and rigging tilled with men
who on the sea fought for the old flag

Ion I But 1 lift my hand, and the
scene 1ms vanished. Many of the ships
have dropixid under the crystal pave
ment of the deep, sea monsters swim
ming In and out the forsaken cabin,
and other old craft have swung Into
the uavy yards, and many of the brave
spirits who trod their decks are gone
up to the Eternal fortress, from whose
casements and embrasures may we
not hope they look down today with
joy upon a nation in reunited brother
hood?
Foote und FnrruKiit.
All those of you who were In naval
service during the war of 1S(>5 are now
in the afternoon or evening of life.
With some of you it is 2 o’clock, 3
o’clock, 4 o’clock. (1 o’clock, and it will
soon bo sundown. If you were of age
when the war broke out. you are now
at least 00. Many of you have passed
into the seventies. While in our Cu
ban war there were more Christian
commanders on sea and land than in
any previous conflict, 1 would revive
in your minds the fact that at least
two great admirals of the civil war
were Christians, Foote and Farmgut.
Had the Christian religion been a cow
ardly tiling they would have had noth
ing to do with it. In its faith they
lived and died. In Brooklyn navy yard
Admiral Foote held prayer meetings
and conducted a revival on the receiv
ing ship North Carolina nnd on Sab
baths. far out at sen, followed the
chaplain with religious exhortation. In
early life, aboard the sloop-of war
Natchez, impressed by the words of a
Christian sailor, he gave his spare
time for two weeks to the Bible and at
the end of that declared openly,
“Henceforth, under all circumstances,
I will act for God.” His last words
while dying at the Astor House. New
York, were: “I thank God for all his
goodness to tin*. He lias been very
good to me.” When he entered heaven,
he did not have to run a blockade, for
It was amid the cheers of a great wel
come. Tlio other Christian admiral
will be honored on earth until the day
when the fires from above shall lick
up the waters from beneath, and there
shall be no more sea.

Old heart of oak—
Farragut, Kanaaut—
Tiiuaderbolt strokol
According to his own statement, Far-
rugut was very loose iu his morals In
early manhood nnd practiced all kinds
of sin. Oue day he was called iuto
the cabin of his father, who was a
shipmaster. Ills father said, "David,
what are you going to be anyhow?”
He answered, “I am going to follow
the sea.” "Follow the sen,” said the
father, "sml be kicked about the world
and die In a foreign hospital?” “No,”
said David; "1 am going to command
like you.” "No," said the father, "a
boy of your habits will never command
anything.'’ And his father burst Into
tears and left the cabin. From that
day David Fnrragut started on a new
life.
CTiHstlun Sullor*.
Captain Pennington, an honored eld
er of my Brooklyn church, was with
him In most of his battles and had his
Intimate friendship, and he confirmed,
what I had heard elsewhere, that Far-
rngut was good nud Christian. In ev
ery great crisis cf life he asked and
obtained the Divine direction. When
in Mobile bay the monitor Tecumseb
sank from a torpedo and tho great war
ship Brooklyn, that was to lead the
squadron, turned back, he said he was
at a loss to know whether to advance
or retreat, and Im says: "I prayed, ‘O
God, who created man and gave him
reason, direct me what to do. Shall I
go on?’ And a voice commanded me,
‘Go on.’ Aud I went on.” Was there
ever a more touching Christian letter
than that which he wrote to his wife
from his flagship Hartford? "My dear
est wlfo, 1 write ami leave this letter
for you. I am going into Mobile bay
lu the morning If God is my leader,
and I hope lie is, and in him 1 place
my trust. If he thinks it is the piopcr
place for pie to die, 1 am ready to sub
mit to bis will In that as all other
things. God bless nud preserve you.
my darling, and my dear boy If any
thing should happen to me. May his
blessings rest upon you and your dear
mother.”
Cheerful to the end, lie said on board
the Tallapoosa In the last voyage lie
ever took, "It would be well If I died
now in harness.” The sublime Episco
pal service for the dead was never
more appropriately rendered than over
his casket, and well did all the forts of
New York harbor thunder as his body
was brought to the wharf, nnd well did
the minute guns sound and the bells
toll us in n procession having iu its
ranks the president of the United
States nnd his cabinet and the mighty
men of land aud sea the old admiral
was carried amid hundreds of thou
sands of uncovered heads on Broad
way nnd laid on his pillow of (lust iu
beautiful Woodlnwn Sept. 30 amid the
pomp of our autumnal forests.
But Just as much am I stirred at the
scene on warship's deck before San
tiago Inst summer, when the victory
gill nod for our American flag over
Spanish oppression the captain took
off his hat and nil the sailors and sol
diers did the same, and silently they
offered thanks to Almighty God for
what hud been aecompllubed, aud
when on another ship the soldiers nnd
sailors were cheering ns a 8[mulsh
vessel sank and Its olllcers and crew
were struggling In the waters nnd the
captain of our warship cried out:
“Don't cheer; the poor fellows are
drowning." Prayers on deck! Prayers
lu the forecastle! Prayers in the cabin!
Prayers In I lie hammocks! Prayers on
the lookout at midnight! The battles
of that war opened with prayer, were
pushed on with prayer nnd closed wllh
prayer, nnd today the American nation
recalls them with prayer.
A Aittlon'a Grcetlnir,
We hall with thanks the new genera
tion of naval heroes, those of the year
1898. We are too near their marvelous
deeds to fully appreciate them. A cen
tury from now poetry nud sculpture
nnd painting and history will do them j
better justice than we can do them j
now. A defeat at Manila would have J
been an Infinite disaster. Foreign na- j
tlons'not overfond of our American
institutions would have joined the oili
er side, and the war so many months
past would have been raging still, and
perhaps a hundred thousand graves
would have opened to take down our
slain soldiers and sailors. It took this
country three years to get over the
disaster at Bull Run at the opening of
the civil war. Bow many years it
would have required to recover from a
defeat at Manila in the opening of the
Spanish war I cannot s:\v. God avert
ed the calamity by giving triumph to
our navy under Admiral Dewey, whose
coming up through the Narrows of
New York harbor day before vesterday
was greeted by the nation whoso wel
coming cheers will not cease to re
sound until tomorrow, and next day
In the capital of the nation tho jewel
ed sword voted by congress shall be
presented amid booming cannonade
and embamierod hosts, and our au
tumnal nights shall become a confla
gration of splendor, but the tramp of
these processions and the flash of that
sword aud the hi zza of that greeting
and the roar of those guns and the il
lumination of those nights will be seen
and heard as long as a page of Ameri
can history remains inviolate.
Especially let the country boys of
America join in these greetings to the
returned heroes of Manila. It is their
work. The chief character in all the
scene is the once country la 1, George
Dewey. Let tho Vermonters come
down and find him older, but the same
modest, unassuming, almost bashful
perrdu that they went to school with
and with whom they sported on tlio
playground. The honors of all the
world eaunot spoil him. A few weeks
ago at a banquet in England some of
the titled noblemen were affronted be
cause our Ameiiean minister plenipo
tentiary associated the name of Dewey
with that of Lord Nelson. As well
might we be affronted because the
name of Nelson is associated with that
of our most renowned admiral. The
one name In all the coming ages will
stand as high as the other. So this
day, sympathizing with all the fes
tivities and celebrations of the past
week and with all the festivities and
celebrations to come this week, let us
anew thank God and those heroes of
the American navy who have done
such great things for our beloved land.
Come aboard the old ship Zicn, ye sail
ors and soldiers, whether still In the
active service or honorably discharged
and at home having resumed citizen
ship. And ye men of the past, your
last battle on the seas fought, take
from me In God's name salutation and
good cheer. For the few remaining
fights with sin and death and hell make
ready. Strip your vessel for the fray.
Hang the sheet chains over the side.
Send down the topgallant masts. Bar
ricade the wheel. Rig in the flying
jib boom. Steer straight for the shin
ing shore aud hear the shout of the
great Commander of earth and heaven
as he cries from the shrouds. “To him
that overcometh will 1 give to oat of
the tree of life which is In the midst of
the paradise of God.” Hosanna! Ho
sanna!
To Clean .Straw Hats.
A nice straw or leghorn hat may
be cleaned at home, and made to

few moments, then iron it. with a
