Dr. Tnllimire I,ikcnn Otnl'H Judfrnfonts to tho Swift Streep of a I{ usor—\ it 11 on a 1 Sinn Call Down the l.ortl'n Wratb. Washington, Sept. 10.—Dr. Talmage, in his journey westward through Eu rope, lias recently visited scenes of thrilling historic events, lie sends this sermon, in which he shows that na tions are judged in this world and that God rewards them for their virtues and punishes them for their crimes. The text is Isaiah vii, 20, “In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that Is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria.” The Bible Is the boldest book ever written. There are no similitudes in Ossian or tho Iliad or the Odyssey so daring. Its imagery sometimes seems on the verge of the reckless, but only seems so. The fact Is that God would startle and arouse and propel men and nations. A tame and limping simili tude would fail to accomplish the ob ject. While there are times when he employs In the Bible the gentle dew, and the morning cloud, and the dove, and the daybreak In the presentation of truth, we often find the iron chariot, the lightning, the earthquake, t’.** spray, the sword and in my text the razor. This keen hladed Instrument has advanced in usefulness with Ihe ages. In Bible times and lands the beard remained uncut save in the sea sons of mourning and humiliation, but I Ihe razor was always a suggestive I symbol. David said of Doeg, his an tagonist, "Thy tongue is a sharp razor i working decitfully”—that is. it pre tends to clear the face, but is really ! used for deadly incision. i In Ibis striking text this weapon of tho toilet appears under the following elreumslaneis: .Iiulaa needed to have some of its prosperities cut off, and God sends against it three Assyrian kings ! —first Sennacherib, then ICsailmddon and afterward Nebuchadnezzar. These three sharp invasions, that cut down : the glory of Juda a, are compared to so many swee;*t of the razor across the i I f:icr of the Innd. And these devnsta- ! tions were called a hired razor because i God took the kings of Assyria, with whom he had no sympathy, to do the work and paid ihom in palaces and spoils and annexations. These kings were hired to execute the divine be hests. And now the text, which on its first reading may have seemed trivial or inapt, is charged with momentous import, “In the same day shall thP Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria.” Well, if God's judgments are razors, we had better be careful how we use them on other people. In careful sheath these domestic weapons are put away, where no one by accident may toueii them and where the hands of children may not reach them. Such instruments must be carefully handled or not handled at all. But how reck lessly some people wield the judg ments of God! If a man meets with business misfortune, bow many there are ready to cry out: "That is a judg ment of God upon him because he was unscrupulous or arrogant or overreach ing or miserly. 1 thought lie would get cut down! What a clean sweep of everything! Ilis city house and coun try house gone. Ilis stables emptied of all the line bays and sorrels and grays that used to prance by his door. All his resources overthrown, and all that he prided himself on tumbled into demolition. Good for him!” Htop, my brother. Don't sling around too freely the judgments of God, for they are ra zors. Two Side* to Every Story, Some of the most wicked business men succeed, and they live and die in prosperity, end some of the most hon est and conscientious are driven into bankruptcy. Perhaps the unsuccessful man's manner was unfortunate and he was nof reallj as proud as he looked to be. Some of those who carry their heads erect and look imperial are hum ble as a child, while many a man in seedy coat and slouch hat and unblack- cd slices is as proud as Lucifer, i’ou cannot tell by a man's look. Perhaps lie was not unwerupuious in business, for there are two sides to every story, be suspected his king might be Incar cerated. ho sang two lines^jf song and immediately King Richard responded from his cell with the other two Hues, and so his thereabouts was discovered, and a successful movement was at once made for his liberation. So let us go up and down tho world with the music of kind words ami sympathetic hearts, serenading the unfortunate and trying to get out of trouble men who had noble natures, but by unforeseen circumstances have been incarcerated, thus liberating kings. More hymn- book and less razor. Especially ought we to be apologetic and merciful toward those who while they have great faults have also great virtues. Some people are barren of vir tues: no weeds verily, but no Howers. I must rot be too much enraged at a nettle along the fence if it be in a hold containing 40 acres of ripe Michigan wheat. Some time ago naturalists told us there was on the sun a spot 20,000 miles long, but from tin* brightness and warmth I concluded It was a good deal of a sun still. The sun can afford to have a very large spot upon it, though it iio 20,000 miles long, and I am very apologetic for those men who have great faults while at the same time they have magnificent virtues. tiod'H I'rovldenee. Again, when I read in my text that tho Lord shaves with the hired razor of Assyria the land of Judaea I tidnk my self of the precision of God’s provi dence. A razor swung the tenth part of an inch out of the right line means cither failure or laceration, but God's dealings never slip, and they do not miss by the thousandth part of an inch the right direction. People talk ns though things in this world were at loose ends. Cholera sweeps aor<>*i Marseilles and Madrid and Palermo, and we watch anxiously. Will the cpi- deiaic sweep Europe and America? People say: “That will entirely depend on whether tho inoculation is a suc cessful cxp-Tinient; that will depend entirely on quarantine regulations: that will depend oaiance of itched into hindering a on the early or late ap- frost; that epidemic ia the world, and it goes eros.s tho continents, and 1= A FRESH TOOK w ii We Ii :it iw ii)Wilys mil 111i- -.1 n le.

It was right and a ne cessity that all caution should be used, but there have come enough macaroni from Italy and enough grapes from tin* south of I'ranee and enough rags from tatterdemalions and hidden in these articles of transportation enough chol eraic germs to have left by this time all the cities mourning in the cemeteries. 1 thank all the doctors and quaran tines, but more than all and first of all and last of all and all the time I thank God. In all the G.000 years of the world’s existence there has not one thing merely “happened so.” God is not an anarchist, lint n King, a Father. When little .Tad, the son of President Lineohi, died, nil America sympathized with the sorrow in the White Iloyse. He used to rush into the room where the cabinet was in session and while the most eminent men of the land were discussing the questions of na tional existence. But the child had no care about those questions. Now, God the Father and God the Son and God the Holy Ghost are in perpetual session In regard to this world and kindred worlds. Shall you, his child, rush In to criticise or arraign or condemn the di vine government? No. The cabinet of the eternal three can govern and will govern in tho wisest and best way, and there never will be a mistake and, like razor skillfully swung, shall cut that which ought to be avoided. Precision to the very hairbreadth. Earthly time pieces may get out of order and strike wrong, saying it is 1 o’clock when It is 2 or 2 when it is 3. God’s clock is al ways right, and when it Is 1 it strikes 1. and when It is 12 it strikes 12, and tli” second hand is as accurate as the piltuite hand. Tiie Lord'll Hired ftnroru. Further, my text tells us that God sometimes shaves nations: “In the ?ame day shall the Lord shave with a and everybody that accomplishes any- others gets indus- IVrliaps his Intsl- uot ;i punishment, razor th; hired.” Wiih one sharp J.

Better keep your hand off tin* Lord’s razors lest they cut and wound people that do not deserve It, If you want to shave off some of the bristling pride of your own heart, do so, but be very careful how you put Ihe sharp edge on others. How I do dis like the behavior of those persons who, when people are unfortunate, say, “I told you so; getting punished: served him right.” If those I told you so’s got their desert, they would long ago have been pitched over the battle ments. The mote in their neighbor's eyes, so sn fill that it takes a micro scope to find it, gives them more troij- Me than the beam which obscures IIicIk own optics. With air sometimes su percilious and sometimes Pharisaical and always blasphemous they take the razor of divine judgment and sharpen it on the hone of their own hard hearts and then go to work on men sprawled out at full length under disaster, cut ting mercilessly. They begin by soft expressions of sympathy and pity and half praise and lather the victim all over before they put on the sharp edge. Let us be careful how we shoot at others lest wo take down tho wrong one, remembering the servant of King William Uufus who shot at a deer, but the arrow glanced against a tree nud killed the king. Instead of going out with shafts to pierce and razors to cut, we hud better imitate the friend of lUclmrd Cnnir do Lion. Itielinrd, in the war of the Crusades, was captured and Imprisoned, but none of his friends knew where, so his loyal friend went around the laud from stronghold to stronghold and sang at each window a snatch of song that Ulchurd Cu*ur do Lion hud taught him In other days. And one day coming before u Jull where sweep lie went across Juihca, and down went its pride and its power. In 1801 God shaved the American nation. We had allowed to grow Sabbath desecra tion and oppression and blasphemy and fraud and impurity and all sorts of tur-' pitude. The south laid its sins and the north its sins and the cast its sins and tlic wi st its sins. We laid been warned again and again, and wc did not hood. At length t!u> sword of war cut froni the St. Lawrence to tin* gulf and from Atlantic seaboard to Pacific seaboard. The pride of the land, not the cow ards, but tin* heroes, on both sides went down. And that which we took for the a word of war was the Lord's razor. In 180,2 again it went across llie land; in 1S<;3 again; in 1S(»I again. 'J’hon the sharp instrument wgs incased and put away. Never In tin* history of the agos was any land more thoroughly shaved than during those four years of civil combat, and. my brethren. If we do not quit sonic of our individual and natlona) sins tin* Lord will again take uu in hand, lie lias other razors within renib besides war. Epidemics, droughts, oeiugos, plague* -grastdiopper and lo cust or our ov-rtowering success may so far excite the jealousy of othey lands that under some pretext thci great nations may combine to put us down. Our nation, so easily approach ed on north and south and from both oceans, might have on hand at once more hostilities than were ever array ed against any one power. I hope no such combination against us shall < vor he funned, hut I want to show that as Assyria was the hired razor against Ju- da-a and Gyrus the hired razor against Babylon and the Huns the h|t*cd razor against the Goth iherc are now many razors that the Lord could hire If be cause of our national sins ho should un dertake to shave us. In 1S7<) Germany was tin* razor with which the Lord shaved France. Japan was the razor with which he shaved China and Amer ica the razor with which he shaved ar rogant, oppressive and Bible hilling Spain. But nations art* to repent In a day. May a speedy and worldwide coining to God hinder on both sides tho sou all national calamity. But do not let us as a nation either by unrighteous law at Washington or bud lives among ourselves defy the Almighty. Dltine Clemency. One would think that our national symbol of the eagle might sometimes suggest another eagle* thgt ytUKAi in dent Rome carried. In the talon* of that eagle were clutched at one time Britain, Fiance, Spain, Italy, Dalma tia, Rhretiu, Norlcuni, I’annonia, Moe- «ia. Dacia. Thrace, Macedonia, Greece, Asia Minor, Syria, Phoenicia, Palestine, Egypt and all northern Africa and all the islands of the Mediterranean—in deed all the world that was worth hav ing; 120,000,000 of people under the wings of that one eagle! Where m she now? Ask Gibbon, the historian, in his prose poem, the “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.” Ask iter gigantic ruins, bemoaning their sadness through the ages, the screech owl at windows out of which worldwide conquerors looked. Ask the day of judgment, when her crowned debauchees, Cominodus and Pertinax and Caligula and Diocle tian, shall answer for their infamy. As men and as nations let us repent and have our trust in a pardoning God rather than depend on former success es for immunity. Out of 13 of the greatest battles of the* world Napoleon had lost but one before Waterloo. Pride and destruction often rode in the same saddle. But notice once more anil more than all in my text that God is so kind and loving that when it is necessary for him to cut he has to go to others for the sharp edged weapon. “In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired.” God is love. God is pity. God is help. God is shelter. God is rescue. There are no sharp edges about him, no thrusting points, no in struments of laceration, if you want balm for wounds, he lias that. If you want divine salve for eyesight, he lias that. But if there is sharp and cutting work to do which requires a razor, that he hires. God has nothing about him that hurts save when dire necessity demands, and then he lias to go chat- off to some one else to get the instru ment. Tills divine ch'inencj* will be no novelty to those who have pondered the C'alvarenn r.iarsac-re, where God submerged himself In human tears and crimsoned himself from punctured ar teries and let the terrestrial and infer nal worlds maul him until the chande liers of the sky had to be turned out because the universe could not endure the outrage. Illustrious for love in* must have been to take all that as our substitute, paying cut of his own heart the price of our admission at the gates of heaven. A WondroTiH Scone, King Henry II of England crowned his son as king and on the day of coro nation put on a servant's garb and waited, he, the king, at the son’s table, to the astonishment of all the princes. But we know of a more wondrous scene, the king of heaven and earth of fering to put on you, his child, the crown of life and in the form of a serv ant waiting on you with blessing. Ex tol that love, all painting, all sculpture, all music, all architecture, all worship! In Dresdenian gallery let Raphael hold him up as a child, and' In Antwerp ca thedral let Rubens hand hint down from the cross as a martyr and Handel make all his oratorio vibrate around that one chord—“He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our in iquities.” But not until all the re deemed got home and from the counte nances in all the galleries of the ran somed shall be revealed the wonders of redemption shall either man or seraph or archangel know the height and depth and length and breadth of the love of God. At our national capital a monument in honor of him who did more than any one to achieve onr American independ ence was for scores of years in build ing, and most of us were discouraged and said it never would be completed. And how giad we all were when in the presence of the highest otliclals of the nation the work was done! But will the monument to him who died for ilio eternal liberation of the human race ever be completed? For ayes the work lias been going up. Evaagelists and apostles and martyrs have been adding to the heavenly pile, and every one of the millions of redeemed going up from earth has made to it contribution of gladness, and weight of glory is swung to the top of other weight of glory, higher and higher as the centuries ?•..> by, higher and higher ns the whole mil lenniums roll, sapphire on the top of Jasper, sardonyx on the top of eltalced- ony and chrysoprasus above topaz, until far beneath shall be the walls and towers and domes of our earthly eapi- tol, a monument fore ver and forever rising and yet never done: "Ento him who hath loved uk and washed us froiq our sins in his own blood and made us kings and priests forever.” Alleluia, amen. fCtepyrlpht.
