Washl\gton, Nov. 18.—In this dis
course Dr. Talinuge follows Joshua on
his triumphal march and speaks en
couraging words to all who are engag
ed In tlio battles of this life; text. Josh
ua i. 5. “There shall not any man he
able to stand before thee all the days
of thy life.”
Moses was dead. A beautiful tradi
tion says the Lord kissed him and in
that act drew forth the sou! of the dy
ing lawgiver. He had been buried;
only one person at the funeral—the
same One who kissed him. But God
never takes a man away from any
place of usefulness until he has some
one ready to replace him. The Lord
does not go looking around amid a
great variety of candidates to lind some
one especially fitted for the vacated po
sition. Ho makes a man for that place.
Moses has passed off the stage, and
Joshua, the hero, puts his foot on the
platform of history so solidly that all
the ages echo with the tread. II .vas
a magnificent lighter, but lie always
fought on the right side, and he never
fought unless God told him to light.
He got his military equipment from
God, who gave him the promise at the
start, “There shall not any man be able
to stand before thee all the days of thy
life.” God fulfilled this promise, al
though Joshua’s (irst battle was with
the spring freshet, the next with a
stone wall, the next leading on a regi
ment of whipped cowards and the next
battling against darkness, wheeling the
sun and the moon into his battalion
and the last against the king of ter
rors, death—five great victories.
I'nrtliiK the Jordan.
As a rule, when the general of an ar
my starts out in a war lie would like
to have a small battle in order that he
may get his own courage up and rally
his troops and get them drilled for
greater conflicts, but the first under
taking of Joshua was greater than the
leveling of Fort Pulaski or the assault
of Gibraltar or the overthrow of the
Bastille. It was the crossing of the
Jordan at the time of the spring fresh
et. The snows of Alount Lebanon had
just been melting, and they poured
down the valley, and the whole valley
was a raging torrent. So the Canaan-
ites stand on one hank, and they look
across and s» e Joshua and the Israel
ites, and they laugh and say; “Aha!
They cannot disturb us until the fresh
ets fall. It is impossible for them to
reach us.” But after awhile they look
across the water, and they see a
movement in the army of Joshua. They
say: “What !s the matter now? Why,
fhere must he a panic among those
troops, and they are going to fly, or
perhaps they are going to try to march
across the river Jordan. Joshua is a
lunatic.” Bui Joshua, the chieftain,
looks at his army and cries, “Forward,
march!” and they start for the hank of
the Jordan. One mile ahead go two
priests carrying a glittering box four
feet long and two feet wide. It Is the
ark of the covenant. And they come
down, and no sooner do they just touch
the rim of the water with their feet
than, by an Almighty flat, Jordan parts.
The army of Joshua marches right on
without getting their feet wet over t!;e
bottom of the river, a path of chalk
and broken shells and pebbles, until
they get to the other hank. Then they
lay hold of the oleanders and tama
risks and willows and pull themselves
up a hank HO Or JO feet high, and, hav
ing gained the other bank, they clap
their shields and their cymbals and
sing the praises of the God of Joshua,
put no sooner have they reached the
bank than the wipers begin to dash
and rear, and with a tenilic pish they
break loose from their strange anchor
age. As the hand of the Lord God is
taken away from the thus uplifted wa
ters—waters perhaps uplifted half a
in He—they rush down, and some of the
unbelieving Israelites say: “Alas, alas,
what a misfortune! Why could not
those waters have staid parted, be
cause, perhaps, we may want to go
back? O Lord, we are engaged In a
risky business! Those CunauDltca 111,1 y
eat ns up. How If we want to go hack?
Would It not have been a more com
plete miracle If the Lord had parted
the waters to let us come through and
kept them parted to let us go back If
Wit are defeated?”
God’a Promise.
My friends, God makes no provision
for a Christian’s retreat. He clears the
path all the way to Canaan. To go
hack Is to die. The same gatekeeper*
that swung hack the amethystine ami
crystalline gate of the Jordan to let
Israel pass through now swing shut
the amethystine and crystalline gate
of the Jordan to kc,"p the Israelites
from going back. *•* ,
. Victory ahead, hut water 30 feet deep
behind, purging to death and darkness
and woe. But you say, “Why did imf
these Canannltes, when they had such
A splendid chance, standing on the top
of the hank 30 or 40 feet high, com
pletely demolish thoae poor Israelites
down In the river?" f will hell you
why. God had made a promise, and he
y/gs going {0 keep It. “There shall not
any innu he able to stand before thee
all the days of thy flfp."
But this is no place for the hosf iff
stop. Joshua gives the command, “Fof
ward, march!” In the distance there
a long grove of {rocs, and at the end
of the grove 1* a city. It Is a city with
arbors, a effy with waljs seeming to
reach to the heavens, to buttress ih,?
very sky. It Is the great metropolis
that commands the mountain pass. ft.
Is Jericho. That city was afterward
captured by I’oropey and once by Her
od the Great and once again by the Mo*
liamuu’dans, but this campaign the
Lord plans. There sh/dl be no swords,
no shields, no haltering ram, t/p’re
shall bo only one weapon of war, and
that a ram’s horn. The born of Hie
slain ram was sometimes taken, pud
holes were punctured in it, and then
the musician would put the Instrument
f<# Ids lips, end he would run Ids lin
gers over UiIh rude musical Instrument
mid make a great de^J of sweet harmo
ny for the people. That was the only
kind of weapon. Seven priests were to
take these rude, rustic musical Instru
ments, and they were fo go around the
city every day for six days once a day
for yin days-and then on the >evgntb
day they were to go around blowing
these rude musical instruments seven
times, and then at the close of the sev
enth blowing of the ram’s horns on the
Bevent’i day the peroration of the whole
scene was to he a shout, at which those
great walls should tumble from cap
stone to base.
The Lord's Victory.
The seven priests with the rude mu
sical instruments pass all around the
city walls on the first day and score a
failure. Not so much ns a piece of plas
ter broke loose from the wall, not so
much as a loosened rock, not so much
ns a piece of mortar lost from its place.
“There.” say the unbelieving Israelites,
“did 1 not tell you so? Why, those
ministers are fools. The idea of going
around the city with those musical in
struments and expecting In that way
to destroy it. Joshua has been spoiled.
He thinks because he lias overthrown
and conquered the spring freshet ho
can overthrow the stone wall. Why, it
Is not philosophic. Do you not see
there is no relation between the blow
ing of these musical instruments and
the knocking down of the wall? It Is
not philosophic.” And I suppose there
were many wiseacres who stood with
their brows knitted and with the fore-
liiiger of the right hand to the forefin-
ger of the left hand, arguing it all out
and showing that it was not possible
that such a cause could produce such
an effect. And I suppose that night In
the encampment there was plenty of
caricature, and if Joshua had been
nminated for any high military posi-
H 'ii he would not have received many
v< i. Joshua’s stock was down. The
second day the priests blowing the mu
sical instruments go around the city,
and again a failure. The third day,
and a failure; fourth day, and a fail
ure' fifth day, and a failure; sixth day,
an< a failure. The seventh day comes,
the limaetcric day. Joshua is up early
In Hie morning and examines the
troops, walks all about and looks at the
city wall. The priests start to make
the t ircuit of the city. They go all
nrouu 1 once, all around twice, three
times, four times, five times, six times,
seven times, and a failure. There Is
only one more thing to do, and that is
to utte a great shout. I see the Israel-
itish nr ny straightening themselves up,
filling their lungs for a vociferation
such as never was heard before and
never heard after. Joshua feels that
tin’ hour lias come, and be cries out to
his host. Shout, for the Lord hath giv
en you the city!” All together the
troops shout; “Down, Jericho! Down,
Jericho!” and the long line of solid ma
sonry begins to quiver and to move
and to rock. Stand from under! She
falls! Crash go the walls and temple ;,
the towers, the palaces, the air black
ened with dust. The huzza of the vic
torious Israelites and the groan of the
conquered Cannanites commingle, and
Joshua, standing there in the debris of
the walls, hears a voice saying, “There
shall not any man he able to stand be
fore thee all the days of thy life.”
Italian'* Deliverance,
Only one house spared. Who lives
there? Some great king? No. Some
woman distinguished for great, kindly
deeds? No. She had been conspicuous
for her crimes. It is the house of Ita-
hab. Why was her house spared? Be
cause she had been a great sinner? No,
but because she repented, demonstrat
ing to all the ages that there Is mercy
for the chief of sinners. The red cord
of divine injunction reaching from her
window to the ground, so that when
the people saw the red cord they knew
it was the divine indication that they
should not disturb the premises, mak
ing us think of the divine cord of a
Saviour’s deliverance, the red cord of a
Saviour's kindness, the red cord of a
Saviour’s mercy, the red cord of our
rescue. Mercy for the chief of sinners.
I'ut your trust In that God, and no
damage shall befall you. When our
world shall he more terribly surround
ed than was Jericho, even by the trum
pets of the judgment day, and the hills
and the mountains, the metal bones
and riba of nature, shall break, they
who have had Uuhab’s faith shall have
Itabab’s deliverance.
When wrapped In Arc the realm! of ether plow
And heaven's last thunder shakes the earth below,
1 hou, undismayed, ehalt o’er the ruins smile
And lipht thy torch at nature’s funeral pile.
But Joshua’s troops may not halt
here. Tke command is “Forward,
march!” There Is the city of Ai. It
must be taken. A scouting party
comes back and says: “Joshua," we cun
do that without you. It is going to bo
a very easy Job. You must stay here
while we go and capture it.” They
march with a small regiment In front
of that city. The men of Al look at
them and give one yell, and the Israel
ites run like reindeer. The northern
troops at Bull Uun did not make such
rapid time ns these Israelites with the
Cauuanitcs utter them. They never
cut such a sorry figure as wheq they
were on the retreat. You who go out
In the battles of God with only half a
force, Instead of your taking the men
of Al the men of Al will take you. Look

lug down a id sighing about being de
feated. I am encouraged when I hear
this cry of Joshua as he lies In the dust.
God conies and rouses him. How does
he rouse him—by complimentary apos
trophe? No; he says: "Got thee up!
Wherefore Host thou upon thy face?"
Joshua rises and, I warrant you, with
a mortified look. But his old courage
comes back. The fact was that was
not his battle. If he had been In it, he
would have gone on to victory. He
gathers Ids troops around 1dm and
says: “Now let us go up and capture
the city of Al. Lot us go up right
away.” They march on. lie puts the
majority of the troops behind a ledge
of rocks in the night, and then he sends
comparatively small regiments up In
front of the city. The men of Al come
out with a shout. The small regiments
of Israelites in stratagem fall back and
fall back, and when all the men of Al
have left the city and are In pursuit of
these scattered or seemingly scattered
regiments Joshua stands on a rock. 1
see his locks flying In the wind as he
points his spear toward the doomed
city, and that is the signal. The men
rush out from behind the rocks and
take the city, and it Is put to the torch,
and then these Israelites in the city
march down, and the flying regiments
of Israelites return, and between these
two waves of Israelitish prowess the
men of Al are destroyed, and the Isra
elites gain the victory.
The Sun of (he Wicked.
P.ut this is no place for the host of
Joshua to stop. “Forward, march!”
cries Joshua to the troops. There Is
the city of Gibeon. It has put Itself
under the protection of Joshua. They
send word: “There are five kings after
us. They are going to destroy us.
Bend troops quick. Send us help right
away.” Joshua bos a three days’
march, more than double quick. On
the morning of the third day he Is be
fore the enemy. There are two long
lines of battle. The battle opens with
great slaughter, but the Canaanites
soon discover something. They say:
"That is Joshua. That is the man who
conquered the spring freshet and
knocked down the stone wall of Jericho
and destroyed the city of Al. There is
no use fighting.” They sound a retreat,
and as they begin to retreat Joshua
and his host spring upon them like a
panther, pursuing them over the rocks,
while the catapults of the sky pour a
volley of hailstones into the valley, and
all the artillery of the heavens, with
bullets of Iron, pound the Canaanites
against the ledges of Bethboron. “Oh.”
says Joshua, “this Is surely a victory,”
“But do you not see the sun is going
down? Those Amorltcs are going to
get away after all, and then they will
come up some other time and bother us
and perhaps destroy us. See, the suq
js going down. Oh, for a longer day
than has ever been seen in this cli
mate!" What is the matter with Josh
ua? Has he fallen In an apoplectic fit?
No. He is In prayer.
Look out when a good man makes
the Lord his ally. Joshua raises his
face, radiant with prayer, and looks at
the descending sun over Gibeon and at
the faint crescent of the moon, for you
know the queen of the night sometimes
will linger around the palaces of the
day. Pointing one hand at the descend
ing sun and the other hand at the faint
crescent of the moon, In the name of
that God who shaped the worlds and
moves the worlds he cries, “Sun, stand
thou still upon Gibeon, and thou, moon,
In the valley of Ajalon.” They halted.
Whether it was by refraction of the
sun’s rays or by the stopping of the
whole planetary system I do not know
flud do not care. I leave It to the Chris
tian Scientists and the Infidel scientists
to settle that question while I tell you l
have seen the same thing. “What!”
say you. “Not the sun standing still?”
Yes. The same miracle Is performed
nowadays. The wicked do not live out
half their day, and their sun sets at
noon. But let a man start out In battle
for God and the truth and against sin,
and the day of his usefulness is pro
longed and prolonged and prolonged.
(Irace of the Goapel.
John Bmmmu'field was a consumptive
Methodist He looked fearfully white,
I am told, as he stood in the old Sands
Street church, in Brooklyn, preaching
Christ and again on the anniversary
platform in New York pleading for the
Bible until unusual and unknown glo-
rjee foiled fortlj from that boolf. When
he was dying, his pillow was brushed
With the wings of an angel from the
skies, the messenger that God sent
down, pid John Sinnpierfield’s sun
set? Did John Hummerfield's day end?
Oh, no! He lives on In his burning ut
terances In bcbulf of the Christian
church. He said: “I cannot die now. I
am only 27 years of age. Sun of my
Christian inllucncc, stand thou still
above America,” and It stood still.
Robert McCheyne was a consumptive
presbyferlftn. If was said when U«
preached he coughed so it seemed as if
ho would never preach again. Ills
name is fragrant In all Christendom.
That name is mightier today than was
ever his living presence. He lived to
preach the gospel in Aberdeen, Edin
burgh and Dundee, but he went away
very early. Ho preached himself into
fhe grave. Has Robert |tlpCbeyqe!|
sun set? Is Robert McCheyne’s day
ended? Oh, nn! Hla d“UrlHW
was filled with prayer, ami when he
lifted bla hand to pronounce the lame-
diction upon his family and Hie bene
diction niton Ids country he seemed to
aay; “J canpof die now. 1 want to live
on and on. I want to start an influcuce
for the church that will never cease. I
am only 30 years of age. Sun of my
phrlstinn ndplstry, stand still over
fecotland." And It stood suit.
But Joshua was not quite through.
There was time for five funerals before
the sun of that prolonged day set. Who
will preach their funeral sermon? Mas-
pjllqit preached the funeral sermon
gver Lduis X+f. Who >ill) prepch the
funeral sermon of those five dead kings
- king of Jerusalem, king of Hehrou,
king of Jarmuth, king of Lachlsh, king
of EglouV Let It be by Joshua. What
is his text? What shall be the epitaph
t int on the door of the tomb? "There
hall noj any man able to stand pe-
fore thee all the days of thy life.” Be
fore you fasten up the door I want five
p.oip klpps beheaded and thrust in—
Ring Alcohol, Rliig Fraud, King Lust,
~ erstUion. King Infidelity. Let
them be beheaded and hurl them In.
Then fasten up the door forever. What
shall the Inscription and what shall the
epitaph be? For all Christian philan
thropists of all ages are going fo pomp
mid look at It. ‘What shdll the Inscrlp-
tlw be? ‘ There nhall Jfot Huy man Iw
able to stand before thee nli the days
of thy life.”
.Io*hnn’* (irmtent Ilnttle.
But it Is time for Joshua to go home.
Ho Is 110 years old. Washington went
down the Potomac and at Mount Ver
non closed his days. Wellington died
peacefully at Apsley House. Now,
where shall Joshua rest? Why, he is
to have his greatest battle now. After
110 years be has to meet n king who
has more subjects than all the present
population of the earth, his throne n
pyramid of skulls, his parterre the
graveyards mid the cemeteries of the
world, his chariot the world’s hearse—
the king of terrors. But If this Is Josh
ua’s greatest battle It Is going to be
Joshua’s greatest victory. lie gathers
Ids friends around him and gives his
valedictory, and It is full of reminis
cence.
Young men tell what they are going
to do; old men tell what they have
done. And as you have heard a grand
father or great-grandfather seated by
the evening fire tell of Monmouth or
Yorktown and then lift the crutch or
staff as though it were a musket to
fight and show how the old battles
were won, so Joshua gathers his fronds
around Ids dying couch, and he tells
them the story of what he has been
through, and as he lies there. Ids white
locks snowing down on Ids wrinkled
forehead, I ask If God lias kept Ids
promise all the way through. As he
lies there he tells the story one, two or
three times—you have heard old people
tell a story two or three times over—
and lie answers, “I go the way of all
the earth, and not one word of tho
promise has failed, not one word there
of has failed; all has come to pass, not
one word thereof has failed.” And
then he turns to Ids family, ns n dying
parent will, and says: “Choose now
who you will serve, the God of Israel
or the God of the Amorites. As for me
and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
A dying parent cannot he reckless or
thoughtless of his children. Consent
to part with them forever at the door
of the tomb we cannot. By the cradle
in which their Infancy was rocked, by
the bosom qn which they first lay, by
the blood of the covenant, by the God
Joshua, It shall not be. We will not
part, we cannot part. Jebovah-Jireh,
we take thee at thy promise. “1 will
be a God to tliee and thy seed after
thee."
Dead, the old chieftain must be laid
out. Handle him very gently. That
sacred body is over 110 years of age.
Lay him out, stretch out those- feet
that walked dry shod the parted Jor
dan. Close those lips which helped
blow the blast at which the walls of
Jericho fell. Fold the arm that lifted
the spear toward the doomed city of
Al. Fold it right over the heart that
exulted when the five kings fell. But
where shall we get the burnished gran-
.ite for the headstone and the foot-
stone? I bethink myself now. I imag
ine that for the head It slmil be the sun
that stood still upon Gibeon and for the
foot the moon that stood still In the
volley of Ajalon.
