Tolls oa 1 OOi’p Itora Washington, May 5.—In this dis course Dr. Talmage calls the roll of influences once antagonistic but now friendly to the gospel and encourages' Christian workers: text, I Samuel xxl, 9, “There Is none like that: give It me.” David fled from his pursuers. The world runs very fast when it is chas ing a good man. The country is tr.Vng to catch David and to slay him. David goes into the house of a priest and asks him for a sword or spear with which to defend himself. The priest, not be ing accustomed to use deadly weapons, tells David that he cannot supply him, but suddenly the priest thinks of an old sword that had been carefully wrapped up and laid away—the very sword that Goliath formerly used—and he takes down that sword, and while he is unwrapping the sharp, glittering, memorable blade it flashes upon Dav id’s mind that this is the very sword that was used against himself when he was in the fight with Goliath, and "Da vid can hardly keep his hand off it uiftil the priest has unwound it. Dav id stretches ont his hand toward that old sword and says, “There Is none like that; give it ine"—in other words, “1 want in my own hand the sword which has been used against me and against the cause of God.” So it was given him. Well, my friends, that is not the first or the last sword once used by giant and Philistine iniquity which is to come into the possession of Jesus Christ and of his glorious church. I want, ns well as God may help me. to show you that many a weapon which has been used against the armies of God Is yet to be captured and used on our side, and 1 only Imitate David when I stretch out my hand toward that blade of the Philistine and cry, “There is none like that; give it me!” A MaKtilflcent Troth. I remark, tirst, that this is true in re gard to ail scientific exploration. Yon know that the first discoveries in as tronomy and geology and chronology were used to battle Christianity. World ly philosophy came out of its laborato ry and out of its observatory and said, “Now we will prove, by the very struc ture of the earth and by the movement of the heavenly bodies, that the Bible is a lie and that Christianity, as we have it among men, is a positive impo sition.” Good men trembled. The tel escope, the Leyden Jars, the electric batteries, ail in the hands of the Philis tines, lint one day Christianity, look ing about for some weapon with which to defend itself, happened to see the very old sword that these atheistic Philistines had been using against the truth and cried out, “There is none like that; give it me!” And Coperuicus and Galilei and Kepler and Isaac New ton and Herschel’aud O. M. Mitchell came forth and told the world that in their ransacking of the earth and heav ens they found overwhelming presence of the God whom we worship, and this old Bible began to shake itself from the Koran and Shnster and Zeudnvosta, with which It had been covered up. and lay on the desk of the scholar and. in the laboratory of tbe chemist and in the lap of the Christian unharmed and unanswered, while the tower of the midnight heavens struck a silvery chime In its praise. Worldly philosophy said: “Matter is eternal. The world always was. God did not make it.” Christian philosophy plunges its crowbar Into rocks and finds that the world was gradually made, and. If gradually made, there must have been some point at which the process started. Then who started It? And so that objection was over come. and in the first three words of tbe Bible we find that Moses stated a magnificent truth when be said, “In tbe beginning.” Worldly philosophy said: “Your Bible is a most inaccurate book. All that story In tbe Old Testament again and again told about tbe army of tbe lo custs — It Is preposterous. There Is nothing In tbe coming of tbe locusts like an army. An army walks; locusts fly. An army goes In order and proces sion; locusts without order.” “Walt.” said Christian philosophy, and In 18<>S, in tbe southwestern part of this coun try, Christian men went out to exam ine the march of the locusts. There are men right before me who must have noticed in that very part of the country tbe coming up of the lorusta like an army, and it was found that all the newspapers unwittingly spoke of them as an army. Why? They seem to have a commander. They march like a host; they halt like a host. No arrow ever went in stralgbter flight than tbe locusts come—not even turn ing aside for the wind. If the wind rises, (he locusts drop and then rise again after It has gone down, taking the same line of march, not varying a foot. The old Bible right every time when It speaks of locusts coming like on army; worldly philosophy wrmg. RellgloB and Science. Worldly phllos^ihy said, “AIL that story about the llgnt ‘turned as clay to the seal’ Is simply au absurdity.” Old time worldly philosophy Bald t> “The light comes straight.” Christian phi losophy says, “Walt a little while.” And It goes on and makes discoveries and finds that the atmosphere curves and bends the rays of light around the earth literally “as the clay to the seal.” The Bible rlgbt^gain; worldly philosophy wrong again. “Ah,” says worldly philosophy, “all that allusion In Job about the foundations of the earth Is simply nn absurdity. ‘Where wast thou,’ says God. ‘when I set the foundations of the earth?’ The earth has uo foundation.” Christian philos ophy comes nud finds that the word ns (rniiHlnted “foundations” may be Ud- ter translated “sockets.” 8o now see how it will rend if It is translated right, “Where, wast thou when I set (he sockets of the earth?” Where Is the socket? It is the hollow of God’s hand—a socket large enough foi any world to turn In. Worldly philosophy Hai<L “What nn absurd story about Joshua making the sun and moon stand still. If the world hud stopped ah instant, tbo whole uni- wrw eut’of gear.” “Stop," said Christian philosophy; “not quite so quick!” The world has two mo tions—one on its own axis and tin* other around the sun. It was not necessary, in making them stand still, that both mo tions should be stopped—only the one turning the world on its own axis. There was no reason why flip halting of the earth should have Jarred and disarranged the whole universe. Josh ua right nud God right; infidelity wrong every time. 1 knew it would be wrong. I thank God that the time has come when Christians need not lie scared at any scientific .exploration. The fact Is that religion and science have struck hands In eternal friendship, and the deeper down geology can dig and the higher up astronomy can soar nil the better for us. The armies of the Lord Jesus Christ have stormed the observatories of the world's science and from the highest towers have flung out the banner of the cross and Chris tianity now, from the observatories at Albany and Washington, stretches out Its hahd toward the opposing scientific weapon, crying, “There is none like that; give It me!” I was reading of Herschel, who was looking at a meteor through a telescope, and when It came over the face of the telescope it was so powerful he had to avert his eyes. And it has been Jjist so that many an as tronomer has gone Into an Observatory and looked up Into the midnight heav ens, and the Lord God has, through some swinging world, flamed upon his vision, and the learned man cried out: “Who am I? Undone! Unclean! Have mercy. Lord God!” Let Chrlutlans Travel. Again, I remark that the traveling disposition of the world, which was ad verse to morals and religion. Is to he brought on our side. The man that went down to Jericho and. fell amid thieves was a type of a great many travelers. There is many a man who is very honest at home who when he is abroad has his honor filched and his good habits stolen. There are but very few men who can stand the stress of an expedition. Six weeks at a water ing places have ruined many a man. In the olden times God forbade tbe travel ing of men for tbe purposes of trade because of the corrupting influences attending it. A good many men now cannot stand the transition from one place to another. Some men who seem to be very consistent here In tbe way of keeping tbe Sabbath when they get into Spain on the Lord’s day always go out to see the bullfights. Plato said that no city ought to be built nearer t<^ the sea than ten miles lest it be tempt ed to commerce. But tills traveling dis position of the world, which was ad verse to that which is good. Is to be brought on our side. These mall trains—wliy, they take our Bibles; these steamers, they transport our mis sionaries; these sailors, rushing from city to city nil around the world, are to be converted Into Christian heralds and go out and preach Christ among the heathen nations. The gospels are Infinitely multiplied in beauty and power since Robinson and Thompson and Burckhnrdt have come back and talked to us aboift Siloaiu and Caper naum and Jerusalem, pointing out to us tbe lilies about which Jesus preach ed, the beach upon which Paul was shipwrecked, the fords at which Jor dan was passed, the Red sea bank on which were tossed the carcasses of the drowned Egyptians. A man said: “I went to the Holy Land au infidel. I came back a Christian. I could not help it” lam not shocked, ns some have been, at the building of railroads .in tbe Ho ly Land. I wish that all the world might go and see Golgotha and Bethle hem. How many who could not afford muleteers now easily buy tickets from Constantinople to Joppa. Then let Christians travel! God speed the rail trains and guide the steamships this night panting across tbo deep In. the phosphorescent wake of the shining feet of him who from wave cliff to wave cliff bestormed Tiberius. The Japanese come across the water and see our civilization and examine our Christlanlty and go back and tell the story and keep that empire rocking till Jesus shall reign Where’er the eun Doee hie eucccealve Journejnrun And the firearms with which the In fidel traveler brought down the Arab horseman and tbe jackals of the des ert have been surrendered to the church, and we reach forth our hand, crying. “There Is none like that; give It me!” Religion Good For All. Bo it has also been with tbe learning and eloquence of the world. People say, “Religion Ir very good for aged women, It Is very good for children, but not for men.” But we have In the roll of Christ's host Mozart and Han del In music; Cdnova and Angelo In sculpture; Raphael and Reynolds In painting; Harvey and Boorhaave In medicine; Cowper and Scott In poetry; Grotlus and Burke In statesmanship; Boyle and Leibnitz In philosophy; Thomas Chalmers and John Mason In theology. The most brilliant wrlth t of a worldly nature are all aglow wl< . Scriptural allusions. Through senato rial speech and through essayist's dis course Sinai thunders and Calvary speaks and Slloam sparkles. Samuel L. Southard was mighty in the courtroom and In tbe senate cham ber, but ha reserved bit strongest elo quence for that day wheft be stood be fore the literary societies at Princeton commencement and pleaded for the grandeur of our Bible. Daniel Web ster won not Ids chief garlands while responding to Hayue nor when he open ed the batteries of his eloquence on Bunker Hill, that rocking Sinai of the American Revolution, but on that day When, In the famous Girard will case, he showed his affectlou for the Chris tina religion and eulogized the Bible. The eloquence and tbe learning that have been ou tbe other side come over to our side. Captured for God! “There is none like that; give It me!” So, also, has It been with the picture making of the world. We are very anx ious on this day to have the printing press nud the platform on the side of' Christianity, but we overlook the en graver's knife nud the painter's pencil. The antiquarian goes and looks at pic tured ruins pr examines tho chiseled pillars of Thebes and Nineveh and Pompeii and then comes back to (ell us of tho bcastllucHH of ancient art, and It is a fact now (lint many of the flu ent specimens, merely nrtlHtlcully con aldcred, of sculpture and painting that are to be found amid those ruins arc not fit to be looked at, and they ore Ifttsd WMns JXlU-R«t IStU? 1 ' XVhon. silindlng amlil those Impurities that stared on him from the walls and the pavements and the bazaars of Cor inth, he preached of the pure and holy Jesus! The art of the world ou the side of obscenity and crime and death. Power of Gti rial inn Picture*. Much of tho art of the world has been iu tlit* possession of the vicious. What to unclean Henry VIII was a beautiful picture of the Madonna? What to I^>rd Jeffreys, Hie unjust Judge, the picture of the “Last Judg ment?” What to Nero, the unwashed, a picture of the baptism In the Jor dan? ’ The art of the world on the wrong side. But that is being changed now. The Christian artist goes over to Rome, looks at the pictures and brings back to bis American studio much of the power of these old masters. The Christian minister goes over to Venice, looks at the “Crucifixion of Christ” and comes back to the American pulpit to talk as never before of the suffer ings of the Saviour. Tbe private tom* 1st goes to Rome and looks at Raphael's picture of the “Last Judgment.” The tears start, and he goes back to ids room in the hotel and prays God for preparation for that day when Shriveling like a parched scroll. The flaming heavens together roll. Our Sunday school newspapers and walls are adorned with pictures of Jo seph in the court. Daniel in (he den. Shadrach in the tire, Paul in the ship wreck, Christ on the cross. Oh, that we might in our families think more of the power of Christian pictures! One little sketch of Samuel kneeling In prayer will mean more to your chil dren than 20 sermons on devotion; one patient face of Christ by the hand of the artist will be more to your child than 00 sermons on forbearance. The art of the world is to be taken for Christ. What has become of Tbor- waldsen’s chisel and Gbirlandajo's crayon? Captured for the truth. “There is none like that; give it me.” MlRtltlCHt of Voice*. So, I remark, it is with business acumen and tact When Christ was upon earth, the people that followed him for the most part had no social position. There was but one man nat urally brilliant In all the apostloshlp. Joseph of Arimatbea, the rich man, risked nothing when he offered a hole In the rock for the dead Christ. How many of the merchants in Asia Minor befriended Jesus? I think of only one— Lydia. How Thnuy of the castles on the beach at Galilee entertained Christ? Not one. When Peter came to Joppa, he stopped with one Simon, a tanner. What power had Christ’s name on the Roman exchange or in the-ba zaars of Coriutb? None. The promi nent men of the day did not want to risk their reputation for sanity by pre tending to be one of his followers. Now that is all changed. Among the mightiest men In our great cities today are tho Christian merchants and the Christian bankers, and if tomorrow, at tie board of trade, any man should get up and malign the name of Jesus, he would be quickly silenced or put out. lu tbe frout rank of all our Christian workers today are tbe Christian mer chants, and the enterprises of the world are coming ou the right side. There was a farm willed away some years ago, all the proceeds of that farm to go for spreading Infidel books. Somehow matters have changed, and now all the proceeds of that farm go toward the missionary «. use. One of the finest printing presses ever built was built for tbe express purpose of publishlug infidel tracts and hooks. Now it does nothing but print Holy Bibles. I believe that tbo time will come when In commercial circles the voice of Christ will be the mightiest of all voices and the ships of Tarshish will bring presents and the queen of Sheba her glory and the wise men of tbe east their myrrh and frankin cense. 1 look off upon the business men of this land and rejoice at the prospect that their tact and Ingenuity and talent are being brought Into the service of Christ. It Is one of the mightiest of weapons. “There is none like that; give It me!” Now, if what 1 have said be true, away with all downheartedness! If science is to be on the right aide and the traveling disposition of tbe world on tbe right side and the learning of the world on tbe right side and the picture making on the right side and tbe business acumen and tact of the world on the right side, thine, O Lord, Is the kingdom! Oh, fall Into line, all ye people! It Is a grand thing to be In such an army and led by such a com mander and on tbe way to such a vic tory. If what I have said Is true, then Christ Is going to gather up for him self out of this world everything that Is worth anything, and there will be nothing hut tbe scum left. We have been rebels, but a proclamation of am nesty goes forth now from the throne of God, saying, “WhosoeRp* will, let him come.” However long you may have •wandered, however great your crimes may have been, “whosoever will, let him come,” Oh, that this hour I could marshal all the world on the llde of Christ! Ho Is the best friend a man ever bad. He Is so kind, he so loving, so sympathetic. 1 cannot sec how you can stay away from him. Come now and accept his mercy. Be hold him as he stretches out the arms of his salvation, saying, “Look unto me, all ye eyds of the earth, and be ye saved, for I am God.” Make final choice now. You will either be wil lows planted by the Mater courses or the chaff which the wind drivetb away. (Copyright, 1#01, by Uui« K!op*ch, N. V ] A Speedy Flativrorm.

The death of Mrs. Julia A. Ken drick, while not unexpected, was a sad announcement to her many friends in this community where she was born and where she lived until she went to your city. We notice a mistake or misprint in the announce* incnt of her death which says she was a Miss Dillard instead of Miss I’ridmore. She was a noble woman—every body liked her. She was what we might cull a city of refuge for the poor, needy and distressed when the means at tier disposal allowed her to a.leviate their suiTefiii''. o Mr. Noah Buico, the photographer of Rich Hill, is now in tins neighbor hood delivering work. We were not disappointed in recoinrnouning him to the public. The only thing he didn’t uude'staud about his business was how to make ugly people look pretty and he bes now accomplished that. He tells a good joke on Rev. Mr. Creech, of the Koiton circuit, which, no doubt, some of our readers will enjoy. Ho called to take a pic ture of the parsonage one day while the snow on the ground v.us begin ning to melt. Mr Creech was in a position where the melting snow kept dripping on bis head and he wan ted the crlist to work fast. Never mind, says Mr. Buice, you believe in sprinkling anyway and must now stand and take it. Farmers are trying to get the crust broken off their cotton and corn so it can come up. The health of this community is very good at present. The coming of Senator McLaurin to Gaffney on the 25111 inst., will no doubt draw a very largo crowd to hear him. It will he a very busy time ■with the farmers and many will not be able to attend. Our fruit seems to be all right. Peaches are not so plentiful as they are some years, but the trees will have all they can hold well. The cherry crop will be a full one from present appearances. Your hustling merchant, Mr. J. C. Lipscomb, was in this neighborhood one day this week showing different kinds of improved farming imple ments which ho carries iu stock.

All Confederate soldiers in reach are cordially invited to be present and take part in the meeting. Forty long years have passed since that timo came upon us that tried men’s souls. Many who escaped on the battle held have fallen by the wayside since and as our ranks grow thinner and our steps tottering let us gather closer and bring the past and present together by memorializing the deeds of love and hero’son done by our neighbors, fathers and broth ers, that our children and grand children when they bear of the great struggle* of 1801 to 1S05 may know and rejoice in their parentage.

A foot from the ground its trunk is 44 feet In circumference. For 20 feet above the ground the body of the great tree Is round and symmetric al, but at that point it branches into four sectlous, any one of which would make n giant tree if standing alone.
