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! Free
libraries in nil the important towns aud
cities of the land. Historical alcoves

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.”
