# < 1 n Lp oT I! *,UPJ vv III ■-(d) ,'l. Km®])'' Washixoton. Pcj S.- In this dis course Dr. Tnlmn^dccltos some great events und shows (mt the world is advancing in the rlit direction; text. Joel 11. 30, “I will s>w wonders in the heavens and In thehrth.” Dr. Cuimning—giit and good man- woulcbhave told u[tbe exact time of the fimilluient of propliwy. As I ■stepped into his sidy in London on tny arrival from Iris just after the French had surreiicred at Sedan the good doctor said p me: “It Is Just what I had told ;ou about France. People laughed at ^e because 1 talked about the seven Urns and the vials, but 1 foresaw all t|s from the book of JDaniel and the I4>k of Uevelatiou.” Not taking any sttb responsibility in the Interpretationbf the passage, I Simply assert thatjhere are in it sug gestions of many jings In our time. \Our. eyes dilate td our heart quick- in 4 Its pulsatjns as we read of events In the thir century, the sixth century, the eight] century, the four teenth century, bt there were more farreaching event; crowded into the nineteenth century than into any oth er, and the last Jveuty years eclipse any preceding twdty. We read in the daily newspapers If events announced In one paragraph iid without any spe cial emphasis—emits which a He rodotus, a Josephu.a Xenophon, a Gib bon, would have |ken whole chapters or whole volumeato elaborate. Look ing out upon our time, we must cry out In the words <f the text, “Wonders in the heavens ani in the earth!” ( propose to shdv you that the time In which we live s wonderful for dis aster and wonderful for blessing, for there must be liglts and shades in this picture as in all qhers. Need 1 argue that our time Is Wonderful for disas ter? Our world his had a rough time aince by the handuf God it was bowl ed out into space) It is an epileptic earth — convulsion after convulsion; frosts pounding t with sledge ham mer of iceberg am tires melting It with furnaces seven tines heated. It is a wonder to me it lias lasted so long. Meteors shooting by on this side and grazing n nidoors shooting by on the other side ItnJ grazing it, none of them slowing up for safety. Whole fleets and navies pid argosies find flo tillas of worlds sveeping all about us. lOur earth like a Isidng smack off the 'banks of Newfouiflland, while the Ma jestic and the St.Paul and the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grow rush by. Besides that, our world l»s by sin been dam aged in its internal machinery, and ever and anon thefurnaces have burst, und the walking beams of the moun tains have broken,and the Islands have shipped a sea, awl the great hulk of the world has hteii jarred with acci dents that ever ind anon threatened Immediate demolition. A Centnr; of Dlsantera. But It seems to us as if the last hun dred years were especially character ized by disaster—volcanic, oceanic, ep idemic. 1 say volcanic because an earthquake Is only a volcano hushed up. When Stromboli and Cotopaxi and Vesuvius stop breathing, let the foundations of the earth beware! Sev en thousand earthquakes In two cen turies recorded In the catalogue of the British association! Trajan, the em peror, goes to ancient Antioch and amid the splendors of his reception Is met by an earthquake that nearly de stroys the emperor’s life. Lisbon, fair and beautiful, at 1 o’clock on the 1st of November, 175b, In six minutes 00,000 have perished, and Voltaire writes of them, “For that region It was the last Judgment, nothing wanting but a trum pet!” Europe and America feeling the throb—1,500 chimneys In Boston partly or fully destroyed! But the disasters of other times have bad their counterpart In later times. In 1812 Caracas waa caught in the grip of an earthquake, in 1882 in Chile 100,000 square miles of land by vol canic force upbeaved to four and seven feet of permanent elevation, In 1854 Japan felt the geological agony; Na ples shaken In 1857, Mexico In 1858; Mendoza, the capital of the Argentine Republic, In 1861; Manila terrorized In 1863; the Hawaiian Islands by such force uplifted and let down In 1871; Nevada shaken In 1871, Antioch In 1872, California In 1872, San Salvador In 1873, while In 1883 what subter ranean excitement! Ischia, an Island of the Mediterranean, a beautiful Ital ian watering place, vineyard clad, sur rounded by all natural charm and his torical reminiscence; yonder Capri, the summer resort of the Roman emperors; yonder Naples, the paradise of art— this beautiful island suddenly toppled into the trough of the earth. 8,000 mer rymakers perishing, and some of them |K) far down beneath the reach of hu man obsequies that It may be said of many a one of them, as it was said of Moses. “The Lord hurled him.” Italy, all Europe weeping, all Christendom weeping where there were hearts to sympathize and Christians to pray. But while the nations were measuring that magnitude of disaster, measuring it not with golden rod like that with whieh the angel measured heaven, but with the black rule of death, Java of the Indian archipelago, the most fer tile Island of all the earth, is caught In fhe grip of the earthquake, and moun tain after mountain goes down and city after city until that Island, which produces the best beverage of all the world, produced the ghastliest catas trophe. One hundred thousand peo ple dying, dead! Coming nearer home, on Aug. 31, issi’., the ^reat earthquake which prostrated one-half of Charles ton, S. C. ClinrnrterlutIck of Onr But look at the disasters eydonie. At the mouth of the Ganges are three is lands (lie Ilattinh, the Hundeep and the Dakin Shabazpore. In the mid night of October, 1S77, on all those three islands the cry was, “The wa ters!” A cyclone arose and rolled the sea over those three Islands, and of a population of 3-10,000, 215,000 were drowned. Duly those saved who had climbed to the top of the highest trees! Did you ever see a cyclone? No? Then I pray God you may never eve one. 1 saw a cyclone on the ocean, aud It swept us 800 miles back from our course, and for thirty-six hours during the cyclone uud after it we expected every moment to go to the bottom. They told us before we retired at !) o’clock that the barometer had fallen, but at 11 o’clock at ulght we were awakened with the shock of the waves. All the lights out! Crash went all the lifeboats. Waters rushing through the skylights down into the cabin and down on the furnaces until they hissed and smoked in the deluge. Seven hun dred people praying, shrieking. Our great ship poised a moment on the top of a mountain of phosphorescent fire and then plunged down, down, down until it seemed as If she never would agaiu be righted. Ah, you never want to see a cyclone at sea! But I was in Minnesota, where there was one of those cyclones on land that swept the city of Rochester from Its foundations aud took dwelling houses, barns, men, women, children, horses, cattle, and tossed them Into indiscrimi nate ruin and lifted a rail train and dashed it down, a mightier hand than that of engineer on the airbrake. Cy clone in Kansas, cyclone In Missouri, cyclone in Wisconsin, cyclone in Illi nois, cyclone In Iowa! Satan, prince of the power of the air, never made such cyclonic disturbances as he has in our day. And am 1 not right in saying that one of the characteristics of the time in which we live is disaster cyclonic? But look at the disasters oceanic. Shall I call the roll of the dead ship ping? Ye monsters of the deep, an swer when 1 call your names. The Vllle do Havre, the Schiller, the City of Boston, the Melville, the President, the Clmbria, the Oregon, the Mohegan. But why should I go on calling the roll when none of them answers and the roll is as long us the white scroll of the Atlantic surf at Cape Hatteras breakers? jf the oceanic cables could report all the Scattered life and uli the bleached bones that they rub against In the ocean, what a message of pathos and tragedy for both beach es! In one storm eighty fishermen per ished off the coavt of Newfoundland and whole fleets of them off the coast of England. God hrtp the poor fellows at sea and give high seats in heaven to the Grace Darlings and the Ida Lew ises and the lifeboat men hovering around Goodwin sands and the Sker ries! The sea. owning three-fourths of the earth, proposes to capture the oth er fourth and Is bombarding the land all around the earth. The moving of the hotels at Brighton Beach back ward 100 yards from where they once stood, a type of what Is going on all around the world and on every coast. The Dead sea rolls today where an cient cities stood. Pillars of temples that stood on hills, geologists now find three-quarters under the water or alto gether submerged. The sea, having wrecked so many merchantmen and flotillas, wants to wreck the continents, and hence disasters oceanic. Alas for Galveston and other cities almost drowned! A Wealth of Bleaalnss. Look at the disasters epidemic. I speak not of the plague In the fourth century that ravaged Europe and In Moscow and tbe Neapolitan dominions and Marseilles wrought such terror In tbe eighteenth century, but I look at tbe yellow fevers and tbe choleras and tbe diphtherias and tbe scarlet fevers and tbe typhoids of our time. From Hurd war, India, where every twelfith year 3,000,000 devotees congregate, the caravans brought tbe cholera, and that one disease slew 18,000 In eighteen days In Bossorah. Twelve thousand In one summer slain by It In India and 25,000 In Egypt Disasters epidemic. Some of tbe finest monuments In Green wood and Laurel Hill and Mount Au burn are to doctors who lost their Uvea battling with soutbern epidemic. But now I turn tbe leaf In my sub ject, and I plant the white lilies and tbe palm tree amid tbe nightshades and tbe myrtle This age no more characterized by wonders of disaster, than by wonders of blessing—blessing of longevity; the average of human life rapidly Increasing. Forty years now worth 400 years once. Now I can trav el from Manitoba to New York In less than three days. In other times It would have taken three months. In other words, three days now are worth three months of other days. The aver age of human life practically greater now than when Noah lived, with his 950 years, and Methuselah lived his 90!) years. Blessings of Intelligence; The Salmon P. Chases and the Abruharn Lincolns and the Henry Wilsons of the coming time will not be required to learn to read by pine knot lights or seated on shoemaker’s bench, nor will the Fer gusons have to study astronomy while watching the cattle. Knowledge rolls tts tides along every poor man’s door, und his children maygodownnnd bathe In them. If the philosophers of a hun dred years ago were culled up to recite In a class with our boys and girls, those old philosophers would he sent down to the foot of the class because they failed to answer the questions!

Blessing of gospel proclamation: Do yon not know that nearly all the mis sionary societies have been born within a hundred years and nearly ail the Bi ble societies and nearly all the great philanthropic movements? Christian ity is on the march, while infidelity Is dwindling into imbecility. While infi delity is thus dwindling the wheel of Christianity is making about a thou sand revolutions in a minute. All the copies of Shakespeare and Tennyson and Disraeli and of any ten of the most popular writers of the day less in number than the copies of the Bible going out from our printing presses. A few years ago in six weeks more than 2,0(K).(KNl copies of the New Testament purchased—not given away, but pur chased. because tbe world will ha\e it. The most popular book today is the Bible, and the mightiest Institution is the church, and the greatest name among the nations aud more honored than any is the name of Jesus. Wonders of self sacrifice. A clergy man told me in the northwest that for six years he was a missionary at the extreme north, living 400 miles from a postotfice, and sometimes, the ther mometer Ci degrees below &-ro, he slept out of doors In winter, wrapped In rabbit skins woven together. I said: “Is it possible? You do not mean 40 degrees below zero?” He said, “1 do, and I was happy.” All for Christ! Where is there any other being that will rally such enthusiasm? Mothers sewing their fingers off to educate their boys for the gospel ministry. For nine years no luxury on the table until the course through grammar school and college and theological seminary be completed. Poor widow putting her mite into the Lord’s treasury, the face of emperor or president Impressed upon the coin not so conspicuous as the blood with whieh she earned it. Mil lions of good men and women, but more women than men, to whom Christ Is everything. Christ first and Christ last and Christ forever. Why, this age Is not so character ized by invention and scientific ex ploration as it is by gospel proclama tion. You enn get no idea of It unless yotl can ring all the church bells in one chime and sound all the organs In one diapason and gather all the congrega tions of Christendom In one “Gloria li liuii \ Excelsls.” Mighty camp uieetihgs! ] Mighty Ocean Groves! Mighty Cbau- tauquas! Mighty conventions of Chris- tlan workers! Mighty general assem blies of the Presbyterian church! | Mighty conferences of the Methodist church! Mighty associations of the Baptist church! Mighty conventions of the Episcopal church! There may be many years Of hard work yet before the consummation, hut the signs are to me so encouraging that I would not he unbelieving If I saw the wing of the apocalyptic angel spread for its last triumphal flight In this day’s sunset or If tomorrow morning the ocean cables should thrill us with the uews that Christ the Lord had alighted on Mount Olivet to proclaim universal dominion. The Divine Purpose. All dead churches, wake up! Throw back the shutters of stiff ecclesiastl- clsm and let the light of the spriug morning come In! Morning for the land! Morning for tbe sea! Morning of emancipation! Morning of light and love and peace! Morning of a day In which there aball be no chains to break, no sorrows to assuage, no des potism to shatter, no woes to compas sionate. Blessed Christ, descend! Scar red temple, take the crown! Bruised hand, take the scepter! Wounded foot, step on the throne! 'Thine is tbe king dom.” These things I say because I want you to be alert 1 want you to be watching all these wonders unrolling from the heavens and tbe earth. God has classified them, whether calami tous or pleasing. The divine purposes are harnessed in traces that cannot break and in girths that cannot slip and !n buckles that cannot loosen and are driven by reins they must answer. I preach no fatalism. A swarthy engi neer at one of the depots In Dakota said, "When will you get on the loco motive and take a ride with us?” “Well,” I said, "now, If that suits you.” So 1 got on one side of tbe lo comotive, and a Methodist minister, who was also Invited, got on the other side, and between us were tbe engineer and the stoker. The train started. The engineer had bis hand on tbe aglta. d pulse of the great engine. The stoker shoveled In the coal and shut the door with a loud clang. A vast plain slip ped under us, and the hills swept by, and that great monster on which we rode trembled and bounded and sport ed and raged as It hurled us on. I said to the Methodist minister on the other side of the locomotive: “My brother, why should ministers quarrel about the decrees and free agency? Y’ou see that truck, that firm track, that Iron track; that Is the decree. You see this engineer’s arm; that Is free agency. How beautifully they work together! They are going to take us through. We could not do without the track, and we could not do without the engineer.” Fo I rejoice day by day. Work for all to do, and we may turn the crank of the Christian machinery this way or that, for we are free agents. But there Is the track laid so long ago no one remembers It laid by the hand of the Almighty God In sockets that no ter restrial or satauic pressure can ever affect. And along the track the ear of the world’s redemption wld roll and roll to the Grand Central depot of the out us. r*o, my itre events Dial are going seem to turn out right, give wings to your joy. If things seem to turn out wrong, throw out the anchor of faith and hold fast. <>o«l <m Our Side. There is a house in London where Peter the Great of Russia lived a while when he was moving through the land Incognito aud in workman’s dress, that he might learn ship carpentry, by which he could supply the needs of his people. A stranger was visiting at that house, "What’s in that box?” The owner said: “I don’t know. That box was there when I got the house, and it was there when my father got it. We haven’t had any curiosity to look at it. I guess there’s nothing in it.” “Well,” said the stranger, "I’ll give you £2 for It.” “Well, done." The £2 was paid, aud the contents of that box were sold to the czar of Russia for $50,000. In It the lathing machine of Peter the Grea his private letters and docu ments of value beyond all monetary consideration. And here are the events that seem * ,*ry Insignificant and unim portant, bu they Incase treasures of Divine Pro\' leuce and eternities of meaning wbii after awhile God will demonstrate before the ages as being of stupendous value. When Titans play quoits, they pitch mountains, hut who owns these gi gantic natural orces we are constantly rending about? Whose hand Is on the throttle valve of the volcanoes? Whose foot, suddenly i lanted on the footstool, makes the cont neuts quiver? God! I must be at peace with him. Through the Lord Jesus Christ, this God is mine and he Is yours. I put the earthquake that shook Palestine at the crucifixion against all the down rocklngs of the centuries. This God on our side, we may challenge all the centuries of time and all the cycles of eternity. Those of you who are iu midlife may well thank God that you have seen so many wondrous thiugs, hut there are people alive today ho may live to see the shimmering veil between the mate rial and tbe spiritual world lifted. Magnetism, a word with which we cover up our Ignorance, will yet be an explored realm. Electricity, the fiery courser of the sky, that Benjamin Franklin lassoed aud Morse and Bell and Edison have brought under com plete control, has greater wonders to reveal. Whether here or departed this life, we will see these things. It does not make much difference where we Stand, but the higher the standpoint the larger the prospect. We will see them from heaven i/ we do not see them from earth. Farewell io Death. Years ago I was at Fire Island, Long’ Island, and I went up in the cupola from which they telegraph to New York the approach of vessels hours be fore they come into port. There Is an opening in the wall, and the operator puts his telescope through that opening and looks out uud sees vessels far out at sea. While I was talking with him he went up and looked out. He said, “We are expecting the Arizona to night.” I said: "Is It possible you know all those vessels? Do you kuow them us you know a man’s face?” He said: “Yes. I never make a mistake. Before I see the hulls I often know them by the masts. I know them all— I have watched them so long.” Oh, what a grand thing It is to have ships telegraphed and heralded long be fore they come to port, that friends may come down to the wharf and wel come their long absent ones! Bo today we take our stand In tbe watch tower, and through tbe glass of Inspiration we look off and see a whole fleet of ships coming In. That Is the ship of peace, flag with one star of Bethlehem float ing above the to(> gallants. That Is the ship of the church, mark of salt water high upon the smokestack, showing she has bad rough weather, but the Cap tain of Salvation commands her, and all Is well with her. The ship of heav en, mightiest craft ever launched, mil lions of passengers waiting for millions more, prophets and apostles and mar tyrs In tbe cabin, conquerors at the foot of the mast, while from tbe rig ging hands are waving this way as If they knew us, aud we w’ave back again, for they are ours. They went out from our own households. Ours! Hall, hall! Put off tbe black and put on the white. Btop tolling the funeral bell and ring the wedding anthem. Bhut up tbe hearse and take the char iot. Now the ship comes around tbe great headland. Boon she will strike the wharf and we will go aboard her. Tears for ships going out. Laughter for ships coming In. Now she touches the wharf. Throw out the planks. Block not up that gangway with embracing long lost friends, for you will have eternity of reunion. Stand back aud give way un til other millions come aboard her. Farewell to sin! Farewell to struggle! Farewell to sickness! Farewell to death! "Blessed are all they who en ter In through the gates Into the city.” (Copyright, 1901, Loui* Klopsth, N.
