DR. TALMAGE SAYS IT IS THE CAUSE
OF MUCH UNHAPPINESS.
Need of the Cliureh nml the World Is
More Stability—Ad vises Young; Men
nnd Women to Stiek to One Pur
pose—Stop Gadding About.
Washington, Nov. 25.—From an un
usual text I>r. Talniage in this dis
course rebukes the spirit of unrest
which characterizes so many people
nnd shows them the happiness and use
fulness to be found in stability; text,
Jeremiah ii, 30, “Why gaddest thou
about so much to change thy way?”
Homely Is the illustration by which
this prophet of tears deplores the vacil
lation of the nation to whom ho wrote.
Now they wanted alliance with Egypt
and now with Assyria and now with
Babylon, and now they did not know
what they wanted, and the behavior of
tho nation reminded the prophet of a
man or woman who, not satisfied with
home life, goes from place to place gad
ding about, as we say, never settled
anywhere or in anything, and he cries
out to tbeni, “Why gaddest thou about
so much to change thy way?”
Well, the world has now as many
gadabouts as It had In Bible times, and
I think that that race of people is more
numerous now than it ever Mas—gad
abouts among occupations, among reli
gious theories, among churches, among
neighborhoods—and one of the greatest
wants of tin* church and the world is
more steadfastness and more fixedness
of purpose.
It was no small question that Phara
oh put to Jacob and his sons when he
asked, “What is your occupation?”
Getting into the right occupation not
only decides your temporal welfare,
but may decide your eternal destiny.
The reason so many men and women
are dead failures is because instead of
asking God what they ought to he or
do they, through some vain ambition or
whimsicality, decide what they ought
to be. Let me say to all young men and
young women in homes or in school or
college, do not go gadding about among
occupations and professions to find
what you are fitted for, but make hum
ble and direct appeal to God for direc
tion.
Divine Gnltlnnee.
While seeking divine guidance in
your selection of a lifetime sphere ex
amine your own temperament. The
phrenologist will tell you your mental
proclivities. The physiologist will tell
you your physical temperament. Your
enemies will tell you your weaknesses.
If you are, as we say, nervous, do not
become a surgeon. If you are coward
ly, do not become an engineer. If you
are hoping for a large and permanent
income, do not seek a governmental
position. If you are naturally quick
tempered, do not become a minister of
the gospel, for while any one is disad
vantaged by ungovernable disposition
there is hardly any one who enacts
such an Incongruous part as a mad
minister. Can you make a fine sketch
of a ship or rock or house or face? Be
an artist. Do you find yourself hum
ming cadences, and do tho treble clef
and the musical bars drop from your
pen easily, and can you make a tune
that charms those who hear it? Be a
musician. Are you born with a fond
ness for argument? Be an attorney.
Are you naturally a good nurse and es
pecially interested in the relief of pain?
Be a physician. Are you interested in
all questions of traffic and in bargain
making, are you apt to be successful on
a small or large scale? Be a merchant.
Do you prefer country life, and do you
like the plow, and do you hear music
in the rustic of a harvest field? Be a
farmer. Are you fond of machinery,
and are turning wheels to you a fasci
nation, and can you follow with ab
sorbing interest a new kind of thrash
ing machine hour after hour? Be a
mechanic. If you enjoy anal, zing the
natural elements and a laboratory
could entertain you all day and all
night, be a chemist. If you are inquis
itive about other worlds and interested
in all instruments that would bring
them nearer for inspection, be an as
tronomer. If the grass under your feet
nnd the foliage over your head and the
flowers which shake their incense on
the summer air are to you the belles
lettres of the field, be a botanist.
If you have no one faculty dominant
nnd nothing in your make up seems to
point to this or that occupation, shut
yourself up in your own room, get down
on your knees and reverently ask God
what he made you for and tell him that
you are willing to do anything he wish
es you to do. Before yon leave that
room you will find out. For the sake
of your usefulness and happiness and
your temporal and eternal welfare do
not join that crowd of people who go
gadding about among businesses and
occupations, now trying this and now
trying that and never accomplishing
anything.
Weak flellitloa* Theorlea.
There are many who exhibit this
fraiity In matters of religion. They
are not sure about anything that per
tains to their soul or their eternal des
tiny. Now they are Unitarians, nnd
now they are Uni versa lists, nnd now
they are Presbyterians, nnd now they
are nothing at all. They are not quite
sure that the Bible was Inspired rr if
Inspired whether the words or the ideas
were Inspired or whether only part of
tho book was Inspired. They think at
one time Hint the story In Genesis
about the garden of Eden Is a history,
nml the month after they think It is an
allegory. At one time they think the
book of Job describes what really oc
curred, but the next time they speak
of it they cull It a drama. Now they
believe nil the miracles, hut at your
next Interview they try to show how
these seems had nothing in them su
pernatural, hut can he accounted for
by natural causes. Gadding about
among religious theories and never Sat-
1,lied. All the evidence is put before
them, and why do they not render a
verdictV If they cannot make up their
mind with all the data put before them,
tt y never will. There are all tho
at btvologlcnl continuations of tho Bi
ble brought to view by the “Palestine
.Exploration society.” There are the
Bricks of Babylon, the letter “N” im
pressed upon them—“N” for Nebuchad
nezzar, showing that he was not a
myth—and the farther the shovel of tho
antiquarian goes down the more is re
vealed of that most wonderful city of
all time. Professor Ilellprecht of the
University of Pennsylvania presents us
tablets found in the far east ratifying
and explaining Scriptural passages
which were before In mystery. As the
builders In Jerusalem today dig for the
foundation of new houses they turn up
with their pickaxes the ashes of the
animals that were used for burned of
ferings In the temple ages ago, demon
strating the truth of the Bible story
about the sacrifices of lambs and heif
ers nnd pigeons. There is the history
by Josephus describing on uninspired
page scenes which Hie Bible depicts.
On the banks of tho Dead sea there are
pieces of the very brimstone that fell
In the sulphurous storm that destroyed
Sodom and Gomorrah. Make up your
mind whether the Bible Is a glorious
revelation of God or the worst imposi-
ti t of the centuries. Why go gadding
about among Infidels, atheists and de
ists asking questions and surmising
and guessing about the authority and
value of a book which involves the In
finities? It is either a good book or a
bad book. If it be a bad book, you do
not want it in your house nor have
your children contaminated with ifs
teachings. If it Is a good book, your
eternal happiness depends upon the
adoption of its teachings. Once and
forever make up your mind whether it
Is the book of God or the book of vil
lainous pretenders.
So also many are unfixed in regard to
their spiritual condition and day after
day and year after year go gadding
about among hopes and fears and anx
ieties. They sing with great emphasis
that old hymn w hich we have all sung:
’Tis a point I lonp; to Know;
Oft it causes anxious thought;
Do I love the Lord or no?
Am I his, or am I not?
Start on the KitiR’a IIlKhtvay.
Why do you not find out whether you
are his or not? There are all the broad
invitations of the gospel. Accept them.
There are all the assurances. Apply
them. There are all the hopes of par
don and heaven. Adopt them. There
Is the King’s highway. Start on it.
Traveling any road, you are not satis
fied until you have found out whether
it is the right road or the wrong road,
and you climb up in the darkness to
read the words on the linger board at
the roadside to see if it lie the right
road, and if it be the wrong road you
cross over to the right road. If you are
on the sea, you want to know Into
what port you will run or upon what
rocks you are in danger of crashing.
This moment you have all the Informa
tion pointing tt) the road that termi
nates at the gate of the Golden City
and the voyage that anchors in the ha
ven of eternal rest. Why go on guess
ing w hen you have all the facts before
you? You ought to know by examina
tion of chart and compass and ther
mometer in what latitude and longi
tude you are sailing, whether in the
arctic or the tropics. A man who does
not know whether or not he is a Chris
tian is like a man who does not know
whether he is a millionaire or a pau
per. Better go to the records nnd find
out. The Scriptures are the records. If
you cannot there read your title, it is
because you have no title, and you
ought to begin anew. Start a new
prayer, sing a new song, open a new
experience.
So. alas, there are those who gad
about among particular churches. No
pastor can depend on them for a single
service. At some time when he lias
prepared a sermon after all prayer and
all research, putting nerve and muscle
and brain and soul into its every para
graph. these intermittent attendants
are not there to hoar it. While an oc
casional absence is excusable for the
gratification of some wish to hear that
which is consecrated or religiously ora
torio in some other pulpit, when the
pastor of a church with his eye calls
the roil of attendance by your presence
in the old place practically answer,
saying: ‘‘I am here to get the benefit of
all the useful thoughts you may utter
and of all the hymns you may give out
and of all the prayers you may offer.
I, a soldier of Jesus Christ, am In my
own place in the company, in the bat
talion, in the regiment, and when you
command ‘March!’ 1 will march, and
when you command ‘Halt!’ 1 will halt,
and when you order ‘Ground arms!’ I
will ground arms.”
GntlnboutH Injure Ctiurchea.
But, oh. how the gadabouts Injure
the churches! Instead of staying in
their own prayer meeting or Sunday
school they afflict other prayer meet
ings and Sunday schools. I meet them
on the street going the wrong way on
Sunday morning or evening, and 1 ac
cost them In the words of the text,
“Why gaddest thou about so much to
change thy way?”
My text also addresses those who in
search of happiness are going hither
Vid yonder looking for that which they
find not. Their time Is all taken up
with “musieales” nnd "progressive
euchres” and teas and yellow lunch
eons nnd “at homes” nnd dances nnd
operas and theaters, nnd instead o f
finding happiness they get pale cheeks
and insomnia and indigestion and neu
ralgia and exhaustion and an abbrevi
n‘ed lifetime. There Is more splendid
womanhood sacrificed in that way in
our cities than in any other way. Tho
judgment day only can reveal the aw
ful holocaust of jangled nerves and the
suicidal habits of much of our social
life. Tho obituary of such reads well,
for the story Is suppressed about how
they got their death while standing In
attire of gauze waiting for the carriage
on a raw night on the front steps.
While in their lifetime they possessed
all the ability for tin* relief of puln and
impoverishment, yet they have no time
for visitation of the poor or to win the
blessing of such as comes upon those
who administer to those who are ready
b> perish. Enough (lowers in their din
ing halls to bewitch a prince, hut not
one tuft of heliotrope to perfume the
room of that rheumatic on the back
street, to whom tho breath of one flow
er would be like the opening of the
front door of heaven. Find mo one
man or one woman who In all the
rounds of pleasure and selfishness has
found a piece of happiness as large ns
that half dollar which the benevolent
and Christllke sotll puts Into tin* palm
of the hand of that mot In r whose chil
dren are crying for bread. Queen Vic
toria, riding In triumph through Lon
don at her jubilee, was not so sublime
a figure as Queen Victoria In a hut near
Balmoral castle reading the New Tes-
lumvnt to a pour dying man. Let oil
the gadabouts for happiness know that
In kindness and usefulness nnd self ab
negation are to be found a satisfaction
which ail the gayetles of the world ag
gregated cannot afford.
Advlee For Women.
Among the race of gadabouts are
those who neglect their homes In order
that they may attend to institutions
that are really excellent and do not so
much ask for help ns demand It. I am
acquainted, as you are, with women
who are members of so many hoards
of direction of benevolent Institutions
and have to stand at a booth In so
many fairs and must collect funds for
so many orphanages ami preside at so
many philanthropic meetings and are
expected to be In so many different
places at the same time that their chil
dren are left to the care of Irresponsi
ble servants, and if the little ones wait
ed to say their prayers at their moth
er’s knee they would never say their
evening prayers at all. Such a woman
makes her own home so unattractive
that the husband spends his evening at
the clubhouse or the tavern. The chil
dren of that house are as thoroughly
orphan as any of the fatherless and
motherless little ones gathered In the
orphanage for which that gadabout
woman Is toiling so Industriously. By
all means let Christian women foster
charitable institutions and give them
as much of their time ns they can
spare, but the first duty of that mother
Is the duty she owes to her home.
Hired help is a great advantage to
the homestead that can afford it, nnd
we have all had in our homes a fidelity
on the part of such employees as will
stir our gratitude as long as life shall
last. How they watched In time of
sickness and always gave the medicine
at the right time, and but for their
vigilance there are members of our
families now living who would long
ago have disappeared from the home
circle. Blessed the ships that brought
those employees to our shores! Blessed
the day when they entered our house-
holds! And who will ever do justice to
those who were affectionately called
and, 1 believe, are still called the
“mammies” of the south? I have had
governors and senators of the United
States with tears in their eyes talk to
me about those old colored women of
the south who rocked them tn their
cradles nnd bound up their wounds
when they got hurt nnd wept with
them at graves and looked In from the
hall door at the weddings nnd greeted
them home from college or from the
wars with motherly endearment. Ask
those who know them best about those
old mammies. We have all had In our
employment those so near and dear to
us that we went to them In childhood
and told them all our griefs and all our
Joys, and they sympathized with copi
ous tears and resounding laughter.
Mothers’ Mistakes.
But no one can take a mofher’s place,
and it is an awful mistake that that
mother makes who sacrifices home du
ties for any church meeting, however
Important, or any hospital, however
merciful, or any outside beneficence,
however glorious and grand. Not un
derstanding this, we mistake when we
try to give statistics as to how many
Christians there are In our churches
and In the world. We understate the
facts. We look over our church au
diences on the Sabbath or our week
night service and conclude that they
represent the amount of piety In that
neighborhood. Oh, no! There are
many most consecrated souls that are
not found in churches. Look Into those
houses with large families’ of children
and little or no hired help. For much
of the year there Is some one ill, and a
special, guardian care is requisite. How
much time can that mother give to
churches and prayer meetings when
most of the family are down with sear-
let fever or have colds that threaten
now' one kind of disease nnd now an
other? That mother watching at home
as much pleases the Lord as the moth
er who at church takes the sacrament
or in the mission school tells the waifs
of the street how they may become
sons and daughters of the Lord Al
mighty. That mother at home Is de
ciding the destiny of the state by the
■way she leads that hoy Jnto right
thinking and acting and is deciding
the welfare of some future home by
the example she Is setting that girl, and
though the world does not appreciate
the unobserved w’ork heaven watches
and rewards. On the other hand, you
have known women who are off at
meetings humanitarian nnd philan
thropic planning for the destitute and
the outcast while their own children
went unwashed and unkempt.their gar
ments needing repairs, their manners
Impudent nnd themselves a general
nutsunce to the community In which
they live.
The book of Samuel gives a photo
graph of Mephiboslieth lame In both
feet. When we see any one lame In
one foot or lame in both feet, we al
ways wonder by what accident he was
lamed. Perhaps it may have been In
battle for his country, or he may have
been run over by some reckless driver
or some explosion did the damage. So
you wonder how Mcphihoshcth became
lame in both feet. The Bible for a good
reason gives us the particulars. It tells
us that when he was a child his nurse
dropped him. SUp must have dropped
him very hard, for he never again got
over the effect of that fall. I*ong after
the accident we find him at King Da
vid’s table, but still our attentlou Is
called to tho fact that his feet were
crippled, though so long before his
nurse dropped hip. And mark you
that today lu all departments of life
there are those crippled in habits, crip
pled In morals, crippled for all time.
The accident happened In this way:
Their mothers were gadabouts and
neglected their homes, and the work of
training them was given over to Incom
petent nurses, nnd the nurses let them
fall Into had habits, told them deprav
ing stories and gave them wrong no
tions of life nml practically ruined
them. But Mcphihoshcth ~wns taken
by King David Into the palace and
seated at the royal table, so by the
grace of the heavenly King these un
fortunate ones may yet be seated at
the King’s table In the King's palace,
though the nurses did drop them so
that morally they were lame lu both
feet.
One had habit these gadabouts, mas
culine or feminine, are sure to get. nnd
that Is of scandal distribution. They
hear so many deleterious tilings about
ottiers and see so much of wrong beha
vior that they are loaded up and loaded
down with the faults of others, nnd
they have their eyes full and their ears
full ami their hands full and their
mouths full ofdefujnj4!on. Jho wom
an who Is endowed of gossip can so
easily untie her bonnet strings nnd sit
down to spend the afternoon. A man
can afford you a cigar as a retainer If
you will patiently hear all he has to
say al»out those who cannot pay their
debts or are about to fail or are guilty
or moral mishap or have aroused suspi
cion of embezzlement. All gadabouts
are peddlers, who unpack In your pres
ence their large store of nux vomica
and nightshade. Such gadabouts have
little prospect of heaven. If they got
there, they would try to create Jealousy
among the different ranks of celestials
nnd make trouble among the heavenly
neighbors and start quarrels seraphic
and would be on perpetual run, now'
down this street and now up that, now’
In the house of many mansions and
now’ In the choir of the temple and now
on the walls and now in the gates until
they would be chased down and pushed
out into the pandemonium of backbit
ers and slanderers after Jeremiah had
addressed them In the words, “Why
gaddest then about so much to change
thy w’ny?”
Surrender to God.
Now', what is the practical use of the
present discourse? This: Whereas so
many have ruined themselves and ru
ined others by becoming gadabouts
among occupations, among religious
theories, among churches, among
neighborhoods, therefore resolved that
we will concentrate upon what is
right thought and right behavior and
waste no time in vacillations and inde
cisions and uncertainties, running
about in places where we have no busi
ness to be. Life is so short we have no
time to play with It the spendthrift.
Find out whether the Bible is true and
whether your nature Is Immortal and
whether Christ is the divine and only
Saviour and whether you must have
him or be discomfited and whether
there will probably ever be a more aus
picious moment for your becoming his
adherent and then make this 12 o'clock
at noon of Nov. 25 the most Illustrious
minute that you will ever have passed
since the day of your birth until the
ten millionth cycle of the coming eter
nity, because by complete surrender of
thought and will and affection and life
to God through Jesus Christ you be
came a new man, a new woman, a new’
soul, and God the Father nnd God the
Son nnd God the Holy Ghost and all
angcldom. cherubim and seraphim and
archangel became your allies.
Found among the papers of the learn
ed Samuel Johnson was a prayer In
scribed with the words, "When my eye
was restored to its use,” and it is a
great moment when we get over our
moral blindness and gain spiritual eye
sight. That Is a moment from which
we may well date everything. All the
glory of Henry II of France vanished
when in a tournament a lance extin
guished his eye, nnd the worst disaster
that can happen to us Is to have the
vision of our soul put out. If you have
gone wrong so far, now’ go right. If
the morning nnd noon of your life have
been a moral defeat, make the evening
of your life a victory. The battle of
Marengo, lost at 3 o’clock in the after
noon, was gloriously won at (5, and in
your life and mine it is not too late to
nchie’ ■ something worthy of an Im
mortal. Start right and keep on. Do
not spend too much time in tacking
ship. David felt the Importance of fix
edness of purpose when he cried out,
“My heart Is fixed, () God, my heart is
fixed!” In that state you will feel the
placidity which an old friend of mine
put into rhythm:
God holds tho key ot all unknown,
And I am triad.
If other hands should hold the ItpYi
Or if he trusted it to me,
I mitflit be sad.
1 cannot read Ids future plan,
Out this I know:
I have the smiling of his face
And all the refuge of his grace.
Enough; this covers ail my want,
And so I rest;
For what I cannot he can see,
And in Ins care I sure shall be
Forever tilest.
