SPIRITUAL VALUES.
DR. TALMAGE URGES'HIGHER APPRE
CIATION OF RELIGION.
Earthly niches Are Transitory, hut

lasting — Compares the Priceless
bout With the \ aluclesn Ilo«J>.
' Washington, Aug. 19.—From Borliu,
where he preached in the American
church to a cougregatiou comprising
many of his countrymen who are
traveling through Europe, I>r. Talmago
sends this discourse, in which, by
original methods, he calculates spiritu
al values and urges higher apprecia
tion of things religious. The text is
Mark viil, 36, “What shall it protit a
man if he shall gaiu the whole world
and lose his own soul?’’
Men of all occupations are to be
found in the assemblies of the house
of (Jod, but lu lliesc days of extensive
business operations a large proportion
are engaged from Monday morning to
Saturday night lu bargain making. lu
many of the families across the break
fast table und the tea table are dis
cussed questions of loss aud gain. You
are every day asking yourself: “What
is the value of this? What is the value
of that?” You would not think of giv
ing something of greater value for that
which is of lesser value. You would
not think of selliug that which cost you
$10 for $5. If you had a property that
was worth $15,<XM), you would uot sell It
for $4,000. You are Intelligent iu all
matters of bargain making. Are you
as wise in the things that pertain to
the matters of the soul? Christ adapt
ed his instructions to the circumstances
of those to whom he spoke. When ho
talked to fishermen, he spoke of the
gospel net. When he talked to the
farmers, he said. “A sower went forth
to sow.” When he talked to the shep
herds, he told the parable of the
lost sheep. And am I not right, when
speaking to au audience made up of
bargain makers, that I address them
in the words of my text, asking, “What
shall it profit a man if he shall gain
the whole world and lose his own
soul?”
I propose, as far as possible, to esti
mate aud compare the value of the
two properties.
A Grand Property.
First, I have to say that the world
Is a very grand property. Its flowers
are God’s thoughts in bloom. Its rocks
are God’s thoughts In stone. Its dew-
drops are God’s thoughts in pearl.
This world Is God's child—a wayward
child, indeed; it has wandered off
through the heavens. But about 1,900
years ago, one Christmas night, God
sent out a sister world to call that
wanderer back, and It hung over Beth
lehem only loug enough lo get the
promise of the wanderer’s return, and
now that lost world, with soft feet of
light, comes treading back through the
heavens. The hills, how beautiful
they billow up, the edge of the wave
white with the foam of crocuses! How
beautiful the rainbow, the arched
bridge on which heaven and earth
come and talk to each other In tears
after the storm is over! How nimble
the feet of the lamplighters that in a
few minutes set all the dome of the
night ablaze with brackets of fire!
How bright the oar of the saffron
cloud that rows across the deep sea
of heaven! How beautiful the spriug,
with bridal blossoms lu her hair! I
wonder who It Is that beats time on a
June morning for the bird orchestra.
How gently the harebell tolls Us fra
grance on the air! There may be grand
er worlds, swarthier worlds, larger
worlds than this, hut I think that this
is a most exquisite world— a mignon
ette on the bosom of immensity!
“Oh," you say, “take my soul; give me
that world! I am willing to take It In
exchange. I am ready now for the
bargain. It is so beautif il a world, so
sweet a world, so grand a world!”
But let us look more minutely into
the value of this world. You will not
buy property unless you can get a good
title to It. After you have looked at
the property and found out that it suits
J8>u you send an attorney to the public
office, and he examines the book of
deeds and the hook of mortgages and
the hook of Judgments and the book of
liens, and he decides whether the title
is good before you will have anything
to do with it. There might be a splen
did property and in every way exactly
suited to your want, but if you njijiiot
get a good title you will not take it.
Now, I am here to say that it Is Impos
sible to get a good title to tills world,
if I settle down upon It, In the very
year I so settle down u|kjii it as a per
manent possession. 1 may be driven
away from It. Aye, In five piinutcs aft
er I give up ray soul for tfio world I
may have to part with the world, and
what kind of a title do you call that?
TImto Is only one way In which I can
hold an earthly possession, and that Is
through the senses- All beautiful
sights through the eye, but the pye
may be blotted out; all captivating
sounds through the car, but my ear
may be deafened; all lusciousness of
frillts and viands through my taste,
but my fgstc may be destroyed; all ap
preciation of culture and of art through
my mind, but I may lose my mind.
What a frail hold, then, 1 have upon
any earthly possession;
No Warnlnir of Dentil.
In courts of law, If you want to get
a man off a property you must serve
upon him a writ of’ejectment, giving
Idiu a certain time to vacate the prem
ises, but whan death comes to us und
serves a writ of ejectment he does not
give us one second of forewarning
He says: “Off of this place! You hav*
no right any longer to the possession.”
Wc might cry out, ‘ I gave you $100,000
for that property;” the plea would bo
of no avail. We might say, “We have
c warrantee deed for thut property;”
the plea would be of no avail. We
plight say, “We Lave a Hen on that
t tovc/muse:” that would do us no good,
n utii is baud, and lie cannot see a ov.ai
and cannot read an indenture. So that,
first and last, I want to U‘11 you tfigt
when you propose that 1 give up my
soul for the world you cannot give mo
the first Item of title.
Having examined the title of a prop
erty, next question Is uliont insur
ance. You would not be silly enough
to buy a large warehous* pjat could
not possibly be Insured. You would
pof |iave anything to do with such a
property, fe’pw, I ask you what assur
ance can you giva me that this world
Is uot going to be burnt-u Upy Abijo
lately none. Geologists tell us that It
U already on fire; that the heart of the
xvorld is one great living coal; that it
iji Just like a ship ou fire at sea, the
flames not bursting out because the
hatches are kept down. And yet you
propose to palm off ou me, iu return for
my soul, a world for which, lu the first
place, you give no title, and, in the sec
ond place, for which you can give no
Insurance. “Oh,” you say, “the water
of the oceans will wash over all the
laud and put out ihe fire.” Oh, no.
a here are inflammable elements in the
water, hydrogen and xygen. Call off
the hydrogen, and then the Atlantic
and the Pacific oceans would blaze like
heaps of shavings. You want me to
take tiiis world, for which you can give
uo possible insurance.
Troubleaotne Properly.
Astronomers have swept their tele
scopes through the sky and have found
out that there have been lo worlds, lu
the last two centuries, that have disap
peared. At first they looked just like
other worlds. Then they got deeply
red—they were ou fire. Then they gol
ashen, showing they were burned
down. Then they disappeared, show
ing that even the ashes were scattered.
And. if the geologist be right in his
prophecy, then oiir.world is to go in the
same way. Aud yet you waut me to
exchange my soul for it. Ah, no; it is
a world that is burning now. Suppose
you brought an insurance agent to look
at your property for the purpose ol
giving you a policy upon it and while
he stood iu front of the house he
should say, “That house Is on fire now
in the basement,” j’ou could uot get
any insurance upon it. Yet you talk
about this world as though it were a
safe Investment, as though you could
get some insurance upon it, when down
iu the basement it is ou fire.
I remark, also, that this world is
property, with which everybody who
has taken it as a possession has had
trouble. Now, between my bouse aud
my church iu Brooklyn there was a
reach of laud which was uot built on.
1 asked what was the matter, and they
replied that everybody who had any
thing to do with that property got Into
trouble about it. It is just so with this
world—everybody that has had any
thing to do with it as a possession has
been in perplexity. How was it with
Lord Byron? Did he uot sell his im
mortal soul for the purpose of getting
the world? Was he satisfied with tho
possession? Alas! alas! the poem
graphically describes his case when it
says:
Dr-rk every cup of joy,
ll<a:d every trump of fame;
Dial k early, deeply drank,
Drank drafts which common millions might hav<
quenched.
Then died of thirst, because there was no more ta
drink.
Oh, yes, he had trouble with It, ami
so did Napoleon. After conquering na
tions by the force of the sword, the
\ Iclor lies down to die, his entire pos
session the military boots that lie in
sisted on having upon his feet while he
was dying. No it has been with men
who had better ambition. Thackeray,
one of the most genial and lovable
souls, after he had won the applause of'
ad intelligent lauds through his won
derful geuius, sits down In a restau
rant hi Baris, looks to the other end of
the room aud wonders whose Is that
forlorn and wretched face. Rising up
after awhile, he finds that It Is Thack
eray In the mirror. Oh, yes, this world
is a cheat. Talk about a man gaining
the world! Who ever gained half of
ihe world? Who ever owned a hemis
phere? Who ever gained a continent?
Who ever owned Asia? Who ever
gained a city? Talk about gaining the
world! No man ever gained it. or the
thousandth part of it. You are de
manding that I sell my soul, not for the
world, but for a fragment of It.
lOHny to Measure.
Here Is a man who has had a large
estate for 40 or 50 years, lie lies down
to die. You say: “That man Is worth
millions and millions of dollars.” Is
he? You call up a surveyor, with his
compass and chains, and you say:
“There Is a property extending three
miles in one direction and three miles
in another direction.” Is that the way
to measure that man’s property? No!
You do not want any surveyor, with
compass and chains. That is uot the
way to measure that man’s preperty
now. It Is an undertaker you need,
who will come and put his fingr-y In his
vest pocket and take out a tapeliue, and
he will measure five feet nine Inches
one way and two feet and a half tho
other way. 'That is the man’s property.
Oh, no. I forgot. Not so much as
that, for he does not own even the
place iu which he lies in the cemetery.
The deed to that belongs to the exec
utors and heirs. Oh, wtint a property
you propose to give me for my soul!
If you sell a bill of goods, you go Into
the counting room and say to your
partner: “Do you think that man is
good for this hllj? Can lie give proper
security? Will he meet ifiis pay
ment?” Now, when you are offered
this world as a possession I want you
to test the matter. I do not want you
to go Into this bargain blindly. I want
you to ask about the title, about the
Insurance, about whelper mpn pavp
ever hud .viy trouble with It, about
whether you can keep H, about whether
you can get all or the ten thousandth
or one hundred thousandth part of It.
There Is the world now. I shall say
no more about It. Make up your mind
for yourself, as J shall, before God,
have to make up my mind for myself,
about the value of this world. 1 can
not afford to make a mistake for my
soul, and you cannot afford to make
a mistake for your soul.
Ilryunil EmIIiiimIIod.
Now, Jet us look at the other proper
ty the soul. We cannot make a bar
gain without seplug tin* comparative
value. The houI! How shall l cslinmtp
the value of It? Well, by Its exquisite
organization. It Is the most wonderful
piece of mechanism ever put together.
Machinery is of value In proportion as
It Is mighty and silent at the same
time. You look at the engine and the
machinery in the Philadelphia mlnti
and as you see it performing Its won
derful work you will be surprised to
find bow silently It goes. Machinery
that roan* and tears soon destroys It
self, but silent machinery Is m ten most
effective. Now, so It Is with the soul
of man, with all Its tremendous facul
ties; It moves iu silence. Judgment,
without any racket, lifting Its scales;
memory, without any noise, bringing
down all Its treasures* conscience, tak
ing Its judgment seat without any ex-
cltement; the understanding and the
will, all doing their work. Velocity,
majesty, might, but silence — silence.
You listen at the door of your heart.
You can hoar no sound. The soul Is all
quiet. It Is so delicate an instrument
that uo human hand can touch it You
break a bone, and with splinters and
bandages the surgeon sets It; the eye
becomes inflamed, and the apotheca
ry's wash cools It, but u soul off tho
track, unbalanced-no human power
can readjust It. With one sweep of its
wing It circles the universe and over-
vaults the throne of God. Why, In the
hour of dentil the soul is so mighty It
throws aside the body ns though it
were a to}’. It drives back medical
skill as 'mpolcnt. It 1 eaks through
the cm of loved ones who stand
or ..ol the dying couch. With one
leap it springs beyond star and moon
and sun and chasms of Immensity. It
is superior to all material things! No
Ore can consume it; no floods can
drown il; no rocks can crush It; no
walls can Impede it; no time can ex
haust it. It wants no bridge on which
to cross a chasm; It wants no plummet
with which to sound a depth. A soul
so mighty, so swift, so silent, must be
a priceless soul.
I calculate the value of the sou! also
by Its capacity for happiness. How
much Joy it eau got in this world out of
friendships, out of books, out cf clouds,
out of the sea, out of flowers, out of ten
thousand things, and yet nil the joy It
has here does not test Its capacity.
You are In a conceit before the curtain
hoists and you hear the instruments
preparing—the sharp snap of the bro
ken string, the scraping of the how
across the viol. “There is no music In
that,” you say. It is only getting ready
for the music. And all the enjoyment
of the soul In this world, the enjoyment
we think Is real enjoyment. Is only pre
parative; it is only antleipative; It Is
only the first stages of the thing; It is
only tho entrance, the beginning of
that which shall be the orchestral har
monies and splendors of the redeemed.
On the II11 !■ of Heaven.
You cannot test the full power of the
soul for happiness In this world. How
much power the soul Las here to fiud
enjoyment in friendships; but, oh, the
grander friedships for the soul iu the
skies! How sweet the flowers here,
but how much sweeter they will be
there! 1 do uot think that when flow
ers die on earth, they die forever. In
the sunny valleys of heaven shall not
the marigold creep? Ou the hills of
heaven will uot the amaranth bloom?
On the amethystine walls of heaven
will uot the Jasmine climb? “My be
loved is come down into his garden to
gather lilies.” No flowers in heaven 1
Where, then, do they get their gar
lands for the brows of the righteous?
Christ Is glorious to our souls uow,
but how much grander our apprecia
tion after awhile! A conqueror comes
back after the battle. He has been
fighting for uk. He comes upon the
platform. He has one arm in a sling,
und the other arm holds a crutch. As
he mounts the platform, oh, the en
thusiasm of the audience! They say,
“Ihat man fought for us and imperiled
his life for us,” and how wild the huz
za that follows huzza! When the Lord
Jesus Christ shall at last stand out be
fore the multitudes of the redeemed of
heaven au4 we meet him face to face
aud feel that he was wounded In the
head and wounded in the hands and
wounded In the feet and wounded in
the side for us, methinks we will be
overwhelmed. We will sit some time
gazing iu silence until some leader
amid the white robed choir shall lift
the baton of light and give the signal
Hint it is time to wake the song of ju
bilee, and all heaven then will break
forth into “Hosanna! hosanna! Worthy
is the Lamb that was slain.”
1 calculate further the value of the
soul by the price that has been paid for
it. In St. I’ctcrsburg there is a dia
mond that the government paid $200,-
fiOO for. “Well,” you say, “it must
have been very valuable or tbe govern
ment would not Lave paid $200,000 for
It.” I want to see what my soul U
worth and what your soul Is worth
by seeing what has been paid for It.
For that Immortal soul the rh-hest
blood that was ever shed, the deepest
groan that was ever uttered, all tho
gi i« fs of earth compressed into one
tear, all the sufferings of earth gath
ered into one rapier of pain and stuck
through his holy heart. Does It not
Imply tremendous value?
The Value of the Soul.
I argue, also, the value of the soul
from the home that has been fitted up
for It iu the future. One would have
thought that a street of adamant would
have done. No, It Is a street of gold.
One would have thought that a wall of
granite would have done. No, it U
the flame of sardonyx mingling with
the green of emerald. One would have
thought that an occasional doxology
would have done. No, It Is a perpetu-
il song. If the ages of heaven marched
in a straight line, some day the last
r*giuicnt, perhaps, might pass out of
sight. But uo, the ages of heaven do
not march in a straight line, but iu a
circle around about the throne of God,
forever, for t ever, tramp, tramp! A soul
so bought, so equipped, so provided for
piust lip a priceless soul, a majestic
toul, a tremendous soul,
Now, you have seen the two prop
erties—the world, the soul. One per
ishable, the other immortal. Due un
satisfying, tin* other capable of ever
Increasing felicity. Will you trade?
Will you trade even? Remember, It is
tiie pqly Investment you can maks,
If a man sell u bill of goods worth
$5,000, aud he Is cheated out of it, he
may get $5,000 somewhere else; but a
man who Invests IiIh soul invests all.
Having that, he saves all. In the light
of my text, it seems to me ns if you
were offering your soul to the highest
bidder, and I hear you say, "What Is
pH for It, my deathless spirli? What
l« Did for Itr Hatan says, “I will bid
Ihe world.” You say, “Begone, that Is
m* equivalent! Nell my soul for the
world? No! Begone!" But there Is
some one else in tho audience not so
wise as that. He says, "What Is hid
for my Immortal soul?” Satan says,
“I will bid the world.” “The world?
Going at that, going at that, golugl
Gone!” Gone forever!

come down upon you and show you
the vanity of this world and the Im
mense Importance of Christ’s religion
and the infinite value of your owu Im
mortal souls, what an hour this would
be! What a moment this would be!
Do you know that Christ has bought
your soul? Do you know that he has
paid an infinite price for It? Do you
know that he Is worthy of It? Will
you give it to him now?
Christ to the Reacae.
I was reading lately of a sailor who
had Just got ashore and was telling
about his last experience at sea. He
said: "The last time I crossed the ocean
we had a terrific time. After we had
been out three or four days the ma
chinery got disarranged, and the steam
began to escape, and the captain, gath
ering the people and the crew on deck,
said, ‘Unless some one will go down
and shut off that steam and arrange
that machinery at the peril of his life
we must all be destroyed.’ He was
not willing to go down himself. No
one seemed willing to go. The passen
gers gathered at one end of the steam
er waiting for their fate. The captain
said: ‘1 give you a last warning. If
there is no one here willing to Imperil
his life and go down and fix that ma
chinery. we must all be lost.’ A plain
sailor said, ‘I’ll go. sir,’ and he wrap
ped himself in a coarse piece of canvas
and went down and was gone but a
few moments when the escaping steam
stopped, and the machinery was ad
justed. The captain cried out to the
passengers- ‘All saved! Let us go
down below and see what has become
of the poor fellow.’ They went down.
There he lay dead.” Vicarious suffer
ing! Died for all! Oh. do you suppose
that those people on the ship ever for
got, ever can forget, that poor fellow?
“No!" they say. “It was through bis
sacrifice that 1 got ashore.” The time
came when our whole race must die
unless some one should endure torture
and sorrow and shame. Who shall
come to tho rescue? Shall it be one of
the seraphim? Not one. Shall it be
one of tho cherubim? Not one. Shall
It be an inhabitant of some pure and
unfallen world? Notone. Then Christ
said, “Lo, I come to do thy will, O
God!” and he went down the dark
stairs of our sin and wretchedness and
misery and woe. and he stopped the
peril, and lie died that you and 1 might
be free. Oh. the love; oh, the endur
ance; oh, the horrors of the sacrifice!
Shall not our souls go out toward him,
saying: “Ix>rd Jesus Christ, take my
soul. Thou art worthy to have it
Thou hast died to save it.”
God help you rightly to cipher out
this sum in gospel arithmetic: “Wbat
shall it profit a man if he shall gala tbe
whole world und lose his own soul?"
