DR. TALMAGE URGES CHRISTIANS TO
SEEK NEW FIELDS.
Efforts of the Churches Should Be
Directed Toward Savinix Sinners.
They Should Get In Sympathy YYith
1 Those Outside Their I’ule.
Washington, Sept. 30.—In this dis
course Ur. Tulmage points to fields of
usefulness that are not yet thoroughly
cultivated itnd shows the need of more
activity. The text is Homans xv, 20.
‘‘Lest I should build upon another
man’s foundation.”
In laying out the plan of his mission
ary tour Paul sought out towns and
cities which had not yet been preached
to. He goes to Corinth, a city famous
for splendor and vice, and Jerusalem,
where the priesthood and the sanhe
drin were ready to leap with both feet
ui)on the Christian religion. He feels
he has especial work to do, and he
means to do It. What was the result?
The grandest life of usefulness that a
man ever lived. We modern Cbrbliau
workers are not apt to imitate Paul.
We build on other people’s founda
tions. If we erect a church, we prefer
to have it filled with families till of
whom have been pious. Do we gather
a Sabbath school class, we want good
boys and girls, hair combed, faces
washed, manners attractive. Fo a
church in this day is apt to he built
out of other churches. Some ministers
spend all their time In fishing in other
people’s ponds, and they throw th<*
line Into that church pond and jerk out
a Methodist and throw the line into an
other church pond and bring out a
Presbyterian, or there is a religious
row in some neighboring church, and a
whole school of fish swim off from that
pond, and we take them all in with one
sweep of the net. What is gained?
Absolutely nothing for the cause of
Christ. What strengthens an army is
new recruits. While courteous to those
coming from other flocks, we should
build our churches not out of other
churches, hut out of the world, lest we
build on another man’s foundation.
The fact Is this is a big world. When
In our schoolboy days we learned the
diameter and circumference of this
planet, we did not learn half. It is the
latitude and longitude and diameter
and circumference of want and woe
and sin that no figures can calculate.
This one spiritual continent of wretch
edness reaches across all zones, and if
1 were called to give its geographical
boundary I would say It was bounded
on the north and south and east and
west by the great heart of God's sym
pathy and love. Oh, it is a great world!
Since G o’clock this morning 00.S00 per
sons have been born, and all these mul
tiplied populations are to he reached
by the gospel. In England or in our
eastern American cities we are being
much crowded, and an acre of ground
Is of great value, but In western Amer
ica 500 acres is a small farm, and 20,-
000 acres Is no unusual possession.
There Is a vast field here and every
where unoccupied, plenty of room
more, not building on another man's
foundation.
of Cburolie*.
We need as churches to stop bom
barding tbe old Ironclad sinners that
have been proof against 30 years of
Christian assault. Alas for that church
which lacks the spirit of evangelism,
spending on one chandelier enough to
lightoOOsouls to glory and In one carved
pillar enough to have made a thousand
men “pillars In the house of our Cod
forever” and doing less good than
many a log cabin meeting bouse with
tallow candles stuck in wooden sockets
and a minister who has never seen a
college and does not know the differ
ence between Greek and Choctaw! We
need as churches to get into sympathy
with the great outside world and let
them know that none are so broken
hearted or hardly bestead that they
will not he welcomed. “No,” says
some fastidious Christian; “I don’t like
to be crowded in church. Don’t put
any one In my pew.”
My brother, what will you do in heav
en? When a great multitude that no
man can number assembles, they will
put 50 in your pew. What arc the se
lect few today assembled in the Chris
tian churches compared with the might
ier millions outside of them? Many of
the churches are like a hospital that
should advertise that its patients must
have nothing worse than toothache or
“run rounds,” but no broken beads, no
crushed ankles, no fractured thighs.
Give us for treatment moderate sin
ners, velvet coated sinners and sinners
with a gloss on. It Is as though a man
had a farm of 3.000 acres and put all
his work on one acre. He may raise
never so large ears of corn, never so
big heads of wheat—h" would remain
poor. The church of God has bestow
ed Its chief care on one acre and has
raised splendid men and women In
that small iuclesure, but the field Is
the world. That means North and
South America, Eurone, Asia and Af
rica and all the Islands of the sea. It
Is as though, after a great battle, there
were left 50,000 wounded and dying on
the field and three surgeons gave nil
their time to three patients under their
charge. The major general comes in
and says to the doctors, “Come nit
here and look at the nearly 50,000 dy
ing for lack of surgical attendance!”
“No,” say the three doctors, standing
there fanning their patients; “we have
three Important cases here, and we are
attending to them, and when we are
not positively busv '•-'♦h their wounds
Jt takes a*! ^ur time to keep the flies
off.” Ir ibis awful battle of sin and
sorrow, where millions have fallen on
millions, do not let us spend all our
time In taking care of a few people,
and when the command comes, “Go In
to the world,” say practically: “No; I
cannot. I have here a few choice cases,
and I am busy keeping off the tiles.”
There are multitudes today who have
never had any Christian worker look
them in the eye and with »aiei-slm . s
In the accentuation say, “Cone !'’ or
they would long ago have been in the
kingdom. My friends, religion is ei
ther n sham or a great reality. If it bo
a sham, let us disband our churches
and Christian associations. If It be a
reality, then great populations are on
the way to the bur of God unfitted for
the ordeal. And what are we doing?
Bro|) Itellitlwu . 'JVeliulealltles.
In order to reach the multitude of
outsiders we must; drop all technicali
ties out of our religion. When we talk
to people about the hypostatic union
and French eucyelnpedlanlsmund Ei us-
tmtauism aim Goinpiutensianism, we
are Impolitic and as little understood
as if a physician should talk to an or
dinary patient about the pericardium
and Intercostal muscle and scorbutic
symptoms. Many of us come out of
the theological seminaries so loaded
up that we take tne first ten years to
show our people Dow much we know
and the next ten years to get our peo
ple to know as much as we know, and
at the end we find that neither of us
knows anything as we ought to know.
Here are hundreds of thousands of
sinning, struggling and dying people
who need to realize Just one thing—
that Jesus Christ came to save them
and will save them now. Hut we got
Into a profound and elaborate defini
tion of what justification is, and after
all the work there are not, outside of
the learned professions, 10,(XX) people
who can tell what justification is, I
will read you the definitions: “Justifi
cation is purely a forensic act, the act
of a Judge sitting in the forum, in
which the Supreme Ruler and Judge,
who Is accountable to none and who
alone knows the manner In which the
ends of his universal government can
best be obtained, reckons that which
was done by the substitute in the
same manner as if it had been done by
those who believe in the substitute and
purely on account of this gracious
method of reckoning grants them the
full remission of their sins.”
Now. what is justification? I will
tell you what Justification Is—when a
sinner believes, God lets him off. One
summer in Connecticut I went to a
large factory, and 1 saw over the door
written the words, “No Admittance.”
I entered and saw over the next door,
“No Admittance.” Of course 1 enter
ed. 1 got inside and found it a pin
factory, and they were making pins
very serviceable, line and useful pins.
So the spirit of exclusiveness has piae-
ticaiiy written over the outside door
of many a church, “No Admittance.”
And if the stranger enters he finds
practically written over the second
door, “No Admittance,” and if he goes
in over nil the pew doors seems writ
ten, “No Admittance,” while the min-
tster stands In tin* pulpit hammering
out his little niceties of belief, pound
ing out the technicalities of rellgiont
making pins. In the most practical,
common sense way and laying aside
the nonessentials and the hard defini
tions of religion go out on the God giv
en mission, telling the people what
they need and wlmu and how they can
g< t it.
Have the Skeptics.
Comparatively little effort as yet has
been made to save that large class of
^MTSons in our midst called skeptics,
and lie who goes to work here will not
lie* building upon another man’s foun
dation. There is a large number of
them. They are afraid of us and our
churches, for the*reason we do not
know how to treat them. One of this
class met Christ and heard with what
tenderness and pathos and beauty and
success Christ dealt with him: "Thou
shalt love the Lord thy Clod with all
thy heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind, and with all thy
strength. This is the first and great
commandment, ami the second is like
unto it—namely. Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself. There is none
other commandment greater than
these.” And the scribe said to him,
“Well, Master, thou hast said the
truth, for there is out* God, and to love
him with all the heart, and all the un
derstanding. and all the soul, and all
the strength. Is more than whole burnt
offerings and sacrifices.” And when
Jesus saw that he answered discreetly
he said unto him, “Thou art not far
from the kingdom of God.” So a
skeptic was saved in one Interview.
Hut few Christian people treat the
skeptic In that way. Instead of taking
hold of him with the gentle hand of
love we are apt to take him with the
pinchers of eccleslasticlsu.
You would not be so rough on that
man if you knew how he lost his faith
In Christianity. 1 have known men
skeptical from the fact that they grew
up in houses .where religion was over
done. Sunday was the most awful day
in the week. They had religion driven
into them with a trip hammer; they
were surfeited with prayer meetings;
they were stuffed and choked with cat-
(H'ldsms; they were often told that they
were the worst boys the parents ever
knew because they liked to ride down
hill be*ter than to read Hunyau’s ‘T’il-
grim’s I’rogress.” Whenever father
and mother talked of religion they
drew down the comers of their mouth
and rolled up their eyes. If any one
thing will send a boy or girl to ruin
sooner than another, that Is it. If I
had such a lather and mother, I fear I
should have been an infidel.
Gronnda For Unbelief.
Others were tripped up to skepticism
from being grievously wronged by
some man who professed to be a
Christian. They had a partner In
business who turned out to be a
first class scoundrel, though a pro
fessed Christian. Many years ago they
lost all faith by what happened in am
oil company which was formed amid
the petroleum excitement. The com
pany owned no land, or, If It did.
there was no sign of oil produced; but
the president of the company was a
Presbyterian elder and the treasurer
was an Episcopalian vestryman, and
one director was a Methodist class
leader aim ;he other (ilreciors prom
inent memivrs of Haptist and Congre
gational ehwchi s. Circulars were got
out telling what fabulous prospect!
opened before this company. Innocent
men and women who had a little
money to Invest, and that little their
all, said: “I do not know anything
about this company, but so many good
Ineu are at the head of It that U must
be excellent, and taking stock In It
must be almost as good as Joining tbe
church.” No they bought the stock and
perhaps received one dividend so as to
keep them still, but after awhile they
found that the company had reorgau-
ized and had a different president and
different treasurer and different di-
reeUirs. Other engagements or 111
health Irod caused the former officers
of the company, with many regrets, to
resign. And all that the subscribers of
(hat stock had to show for their Invest
ment was a beautifully ornamented
certificate. Sometimes that man, look
ing over his old papers, comes across
that certificate, and it Is so suggestive
that he vows he wants none of the re
ligion that the president and trustees
and directors of that oil company pro
fessed.
Of course, their rejection of religion
uu such grounds was unphllosoDhleal
and unwise. 1 am told that many of
the United States army desert every
year, and there are many court mar-
tlals every year. Is that anything
against the United Slates government
that swore them in? And If a soldier
of Christ deserts Is that anything
against the Christianity which he
swore to support and defend? How do
you Judge of the currency of a coun
try? By a counterfeit bill? Now, you
must have patience with those who
have been swindled by religious pre
tenders. Live in the presence of others
a frank, honest, earnest Christian life,
that they may be attracted to the same
Saviour upon whom your hopes de
pend.
Remember skepticism always has
some reason, good or bad, for existing.
Goethe’s Irreligion started when the
news came to Germany of the earth
quake at Lisbon Nov. 1, 1775. That
00,000 people should have perfshed In
that earthquake and in the after rising
of the Tagus river so stirred his sym
pathies that be threw up his belief In
tbe goodness of God.
Light Up Darkness.
Others have gone Into skepticism
from a natural persistence in asking
the reason why. They have been fear
fully stabbed of the fatal Interroga
tion point. There are so many things
they cannot get explained. They can
not understand the Trinity or how God
can be sovereign and yet man a free
agent Neither can I. They say, “I
don’t understand why a good God
should let sin come into the world.”
Neither do I. You say, “Why was that
child started In life with such disad
vantages, while others have all phys
ical and mental equipment?” I cannot
tell. They go out of church on Easter
morning aud say, “That doctrine of the
resurrection confounded me.” Fo it is
to me a mystery beyond unravelment.
1 understand all the processes by
which men get Into the dark. I know
them all. I have traveled with burn
ing feet that blistered way. The first
word that children learn to utter is
generally papa or mamma. I think the
tirnt word I ever uttered was “why.”
I know what it Is to have a hundred
midnights pour their darkness into one
hour.
Such men are not to be scoffed at,
but helped. Turn your back upon a
drowning man when you have the rope
with which to pull him ashore and let
that woman In the third story of a
house perish In the flames when you
have a ladder with which to help her
out and help her down rather than
turn your back scofiingly on a skeptic
whose soul is iu more peril than the
bodies of those other endangered ones
can be. Ob, skepticism is a dark land!
There are men who would give a thou
sand worlds, If they possessed them, to
get back to the placid faith of their fa
thers and mothers, and It is our place
to help them, and we may help them,
never through their heads, but alwdys
through their hearts. These skeptics,
when brought to Jesus, will be might
ily effective, far more so than those
who never examined the evidences of
Christianity. Thomas Chalmers was
once a skeptic, Robert Hall a skeptic,
Robert Newton a skeptic, Christmas
Evans a skeptic. Hut when once with
strong hand they took hold of the char
iot of the gospel they rolled It on with
what momentum!
If I address such men and women to
day, I throw out no scoff. 1 Implead
them by the memory of the good old
days when at their mother’s knee they
said, “Now I lay me down to sleep,”
and by those days and nights of scar
let fever In which she watched you,
giving you the medicine in just the
right time and turning your pillow
when it was hot and with hands that
many years ago turned to dust soothed
away your pain and with voice that
you will never hear again, unless you
Join her In the better country, told you
to never mind, for you would feel bet
ter by and by, and by that dying couch
where she looked so pale and talked so
slowly, catching her breath between
the words, and you felt an awful lone
liness coming over your soul—by all
that I beg you to come back and take
the same religion. It was good enough
for her; It is good enough for you. Nay,
I have a better plea than that. 1 plead
by all the wounds and tears and blood
and groans and agonies and death
throes of the Son of God, who ap
proaches you this moment with torn
brow and lacerated hands and whip
ped back and saying, “Come unto me
all ye who are weary and heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.”
Help the Druwnlnar.
Again, there Is a field of usefulness
but little touched, occupied by these
who aye astray In their habits. All
northern nations, like those of North
America and England and Scotland—
tnai Is, In the cold« r climates are dev
astated by alcoholism. They take the
fire to keep up the warmth. In south
ern countries, like Arabia and Spain,
the blood Is so warm they are not
tempted to fiery liquids. The great
Roman armies norer drunk anything
stronger than water tinged with vine
gar, but under our northern climate the
temptation to heating stimulants is
most mighty, and millions succumb.
When a man's habits go wrong, the
church drops him, the social circle
drops him, good influences drop bim-
we all drop him. Of all the men who
get off the track but few ever get on
again.
Near my summer residence there is a
life saving station on the beach. There
are all the ropes and rockets, the boats,
the machinery, for getting people off
shipwrecks. One summer 1 saw there
15 or 20 men who were breakfasting
after having Just escaped with their
lives and nothing more. Up and down
our coasts are built these us> ful struc
tures, and the mariners know It, and
they feel that if they are driven Into
the breakers there will be apt from
shore to come u rescue. The churches
of God ought to be so many life saving
stations, not so much to help those who
are In smooth waters, but those who
have been shipwrecked. Come, let us
run out the lifeboats! And who wHl
man them? We do not preach enough
to such men. We have not enough
faith In their release. Alas, If when
they come to hear us we are laborious
ly trying to show the difference l*e-
tween sublapsariunism aud supralap-
sarlanlsm, while they have a hundred
vipers of remorse and despair colling
around and biting their Immortal spir
its. The church Is not chiefly for good-
isb sort of men, whose proclivities are
all right and who could get to heaven
praying and singing In their own
homes, it is on the beach to help the
drowning. Those bad cases are the
cases that God likes to take hold or.
He can save a big sinner ns well ns n
small sinner, and when n man calls
earnestly to God for help he will go out
to deliver such a one. If It were neces
sary, God would come down from the
sky, followed by all the artillery of
heaven and a million angels with
drawn swords. Get 100 such redeemed
men in your churches, and nothing
could stand before them, for such men
are generally warm hearted and ontL'.i-
slastic. No formal prayers then. No
heartless singing then. No cold con
ventionalisms then.
Tbe Gospel Ship.
Destitute children of the street offer
a field of work comparatively unoccu
pied. The uncared for children are in
the majority In most of our cities.
When they grow' up. If uureformed.
they will outvote your children, and
they will govern your children. The
whisky ring will hatch out other whis
ky rings, and grog shops will kill with
their horrid stench public sobriety un
less tbe church of God rises up with
outstretched arms and Infolds this dy
ing population In her bosom. Public
schools cannot do It. Art galleries can
not do it. Blackwell’s island cannot
do It. •Almshouses cannot do it. Jails
cannot do it. Church of God, wake up
to your magnificent mission! You can
do It! Get somewhere, somehow to

I do not care how you mount your war
charger !f you only get Into this battle
for God and get there soon, right stir
rup or left stirrup or no stirrup at all.
The unoccupied fields are all around
us, and why should we build on anoth
er man’s foundation? 1 have heard of
what was called the “thundering le
gion.” It was in 17'J a part of the Ro
man army to which some Christians
belonged, and their prayers, it was
said, were answered by thunder and
lightning and hail and tempest, which
overthrew an Invading army and sav
ed the empire. And 1 would to God
that our churches might be so mighty
In prayer and work that they would
become a thundering legion before
which the forces of sin might be rout
ed and the gates of hell might tremble.
