TALMAGE SERMON &? By Rev. FRANK DE WITT TALMAGE.D.D., Pastor of J ffarson Park Presby- terian Cuurcb, Chicago Chief!,co, Jan. 11.— A vigorous de nunciation of a common and mischie vous disposition is uttered by Itev. F. De Witt Talmage in the following sermon on the text Proverbs vi, 84. “Jealousy is the rage of a man:” What docs rage signify? Righteous indignation? A calm, dispassionate ar raignment or castigation? A denuncia tion, judiciousily planned and yet over- whclningly and ecathingly delivered, as when Edmund Burke exposed the mis deeds of Warren Hastings in the fa mous trial at Westminster? A rebuke such as Jesus gave to the Pharisees, who had dragged a poor, helpless, friendless, sinful woman to his feet, when he turned and said to the accus ers, "Let him that is without sin cast the first stone at her?” Is rage merely a mild remonstrance, an earnest and yet gentle expostulation, a hortatory admonition, a Christian reprimand giv en with the holy desire to save and re deem the person who has sinned or un intentionally done wrong? Oh, no! Rage is not a well composed censure. Rage is unbridled fury rage is a fierce, wild, all consuming, th • passion burn ing at the heart and mind; rage is a demon stabbing at the vitals of all true love; rage is a Satanic iconoclast shat tering every sacred shrine of the i itel- lect; rage is an insanity, a derangement of moral sensibilities. It is an unrea sonable and unreasoning frenzy, glory ing in absurd hallucinations. Rage’s tlironeroom is a madhouse; rage’s court iers are the inhabitants of a chamber of horrors; rage’s only music is the ech oing shrieks and sobs of the eternally lost and of the destroyed who can nev er die. Now, as rage is nothing more nor less than a fatal monomania which can take possession of the hearts and minds of its victims, 1 can well compare the evils of jealousy, which is the rage of a man, to the actions of a madman whom I once saw chained to the seat of a railroad train. Behind this seat I rode for many miles on a journey from De troit to Washington. It was one of the most awful days I ever spent. As I sat in the train reading, the officers of the law dragged up the aisle a great, strong limbed, powerfully framed, half breed Indian. He had a noble brow and a masterful face, but his eyes were like burning coals. His white teeth gleamed like the molars of a wild beast. This madman was a graduate of the Carlisle school. He was also a graduate of one of the noted law schools of the country. Ue had been as u lawyer the representative of his tribe, lighting for the land which was righteously theirs. In order to still his eloquent voice before the courts of the law some of the squatters upon that Indian land determined to kill him. One dark night, with a club, the would be murderers struck him upon the head. Alas, they did worse than as sassinate the man's body. They wreck ed his brain. And there he was, tug ging at the handcuffs which linked his wrists to the iron car seat and making the air sulphurous with his blas phemies. Like a dog foaming with hydrophobia, he was snapping at his father’s fingers, while the latter was trying to feed him. He was threaten ing to kill the passengers. He was on his way to the National Insane asylum of Washington. As I sat behind this madman hour after hour and pitied him the sentence of my text flashed through my mind. “Jealousy is the rage (or the insanity) of a man.” May God help me to interpret aright the sacred lessons which Solomon's warn ing ought to teach to every troubled heart afflicted and cursed by the ago nies of this awful overmastering sin. Tiio Evil Spirit. Maddening jealousy would destroy every successful rival who might stand in its way. It is the evil spirit which made Saul’s eyes flash fire when he gripped a javelin and hurled it at David’s head, merely because the maidens of his kingdom had greeted the returning warriors with the song, “Saul lias slain his thousands, but David Ids ten thousands.” It is the spirit which made the French generals betray the shepherd girl, Joan of Arc, into the hands of the English, so that she* should be burned at the stake in the streets of Rouen merely because she had won victories they could never have achieved. It is the spirit which made the Spanish courtiers compel Co lumbus to die in obscurity and sent Sir Walter Raleigh to the block. It is the evil spirit which made Charles II. Spurgeon and Rowland Hill hated by some of the London ministers of their 11 on 1<*1I KIDNEY DISUSES are the most fatal of all dis- 10 KIDNEY CURE It I , • money refunded.

Simpson encounter their greatest opposition from jealous men of their own profession It is the spirit which made Voltaire denounce Baculard d’Arnaud and which scut the bullet of Aaron Burr straight through the heart of Alexander Hamilton. Jeal ousy In the heart produces strange hal lucinations in Its victims. The Jealous man feels that the success of another is in some way a robbery of himself. The jealous politician will not support the nominee of his party, because he want ed the nomination himself; the jealous surgeon cannot rejoice that another surgeon has cured a cripple If be has never performed the operation himself; the jealous minister cannot rejoice at hearing that another church Is crowd ed If his owti Is empty; the Jealous woman cannot bear to bear praises of the beauty of another woman. Thus no sooner does any man or woman win success in any department of life than many jealous, unsuccessful rivals become beside themselves with rage. As a monomaniac may be ra tional on every subject but one. so the jealous man may be fair and j ist on every question, but be absolutely in sane and unjust when the works and lives of his successful rivals are dis cussed. If you are a jealous man, you will turn upon them all your batteries of scorn and denunciation. You will magnify their faults and gloat over their imperfections, you will loathe them with an unutterable loathing, and when, on account of your unjust criti cisms, you may have overthrown a successful rival, you, as a jealous man, will join in the pandemonium of a de moniacal joy In which all the evil spir its of the inferno join in the chorus. You will gleefully clap your hands and shout: “Aha, we have destroyed him! We have destroyed the man who has dared to stand in our way!” The Surest Way to Sucre**. But, though jealous men and women may try to trip up the runners, who they fear may pass them in life’s race, yet the strange fact remains that the surest way of winning the prizes of success is not by destroying good men, but by trying to help them along. How did William McKinley win nis great success in the political world? By dip ping his pen in gall? By trying to wield the executioner’s ax of slander and defamation and bate? Oh, no! William McKinley made his way into the White House by trying to help two of his friends there and by trying to help all his friends in every way he could. When in 1888 the Republican convention met in Chicago, Mr. McKin ley went there at the head of the Ohio delegation pledged for the nomination of the grand old statesman of Mans field. After a few ballots the Ohio del egates found it was impossible to nom inate Mr. Sherman. As many miunbers of that convention wanted Mr. McKin ley, his friends waited upon him and offered him their support. William Mc Kinley looked into the eyes of his friends as he answered: “Gentlemen, I came to this convention pledged to work for the nomination of John Sher man. Any man who tries to nominate me in bis place is not my friend. Wil liam McKinley’s name under no condi tion can be presented as a candidate.” The same scene was practically dupli cated in the Minneapolis convention of 1892. Mr. McKinley went there pledg ed to support Benjamin Harrison. As permanent chairman of that conven tion he again and again arose and pro tested against the presentation of his name as a candidate. He protested in spite of the fact that the convention was nearly swept off its feet at the mere mention of his name. After these two wonderful exhibitions of self sac rifice on William McKinley’s part all doubt, if there ever was any doubt, as to the sterling character of the man was forever swept away. At the ballot box of 189G the American people said, “If Mr. McKinley can be true to his friends and his rivals, we know he will be true to us.” In all the writings and speeches of William McKinley, deliv ered or written during a public life of more than thirty years, you cannot find one word by which he tried to win success by wrecking the life of a rival. He achieved success by helping along every good man he could. That the philosophy of the Golden Rule is sound and that men help them selves by helping instead of being jeal ous of others is illustrated In the life of Dwight L. Moody. What made Mr. Moody In some respects the greatest re- lig : .us one man power In the last cen tury? His speaking ability? Oh, yes! I believe he was one of the most con vincing of spiritual orators, but I also •believe that there were others of his time just us great, if not greater. His organizing ability? Oh, yes! I believe he would have been a master at the head of a political campaign or as a merchant or even as a military chief tain; but, though D. L. Moody may have been a great organizer, I believe there were others of his time just ns great if not greater. His great big heart, into which he could gather all his loved ones? Oh, yea; Mr. Moody had an affectionate nature! But there are thousands of men who love their families and friends just as much as Mr. Moody loved his loved ones; but, though many men may have excelled him in individual characteristics, in one respect I believe he was the peer, if not the king, of them all. I do not believe Mr. Moody had one infinitesimal parti cle of jealousy hi his makeup. Instead of trying to focus all the attention of the religious world upon himself he spent most of his life in pushing other religious workers to the front. The big ger the man the more anxious Mr. Moo dy was to call public attention to him. He brought across the water Henry Drummond and John McNeill and F. B. Meyer and G. H. C. McGregor and Campbell-Morgan and many others. He Invited to his own platforms the might iest religious workers of his generation. Ue placed them by his side as he said: “Brother In Christ, win a mighty gos pel victory. I am praying for you. The bigger success you have the happier I will be.” AVliy Moody Succeeded. What was the Inevitable result? When Mr. Moody tried to advance these Christian workers, whom some people might have called his rivals, be advanced himself Into the hearts of sinful men and women as well as Into the chief human leadership of the Christian world Many contemporaries may have exceed him In Individual and particular gifts, but in mighty, masterful leadership. In the fame and eminence which will cause his name to go down through the coming cen turies ns a Christian worker, In his In- flucuce ui>on the men of his day, Mr. Moody stood head and shoulders above nil the Christian workers of bis time, lie won this enviable position because be did not have a particle of jealousy In his makeup. lie won It because he tried to lu ll) his rivals instead of to de stroy them. No man ever successfully built a Lmple of Dine upon the ruined foundations of a g o.i man's life. The javelin of jealous hate has a pfison d hanule which is more deadly than its venomous lip. It will m re surely de stroy the life of a man who attempts to hurl it than the life of the rival against whom it Is thrown. Maddening jealousy will make its sinful vie.im turn upon his best friends. Many pathetic scenes are daily wit nessed in the insane asylums of the land; but, to me, the patients who are to be pitied the most are not the drivel ing epileptics or the men and women whose minds have crumbled into such ruin that they can sit hour after hour making doll dresses or with glassy eyes vacantly staring for days at a time at some crack in the wall. I be lieve the insane patients who should be pitied the most are those whose dis eased minds make them think that their wives or husbands or parents or children or brothers and sisters have been umrue to them. I pity the young girl who has gone mad because she was jilted the night before her wed ding and who sits by the window con tinually denouncing the recreant lover and the woman for whom he broke his vows. I pity that old gray haired mother who for twenty years has been denouncing her only sou because she thinks he wants to poison her for her money. I pity that insane wife who will never allow her husband to enter her room because she thinks he has been false to her. Ah, these are the in sane patients who are to be pitied! Never did John Fox in his famous “Book of Martyrs” depict more excru ciating agonies than some of these poor insane wretches daily suffer, who brood over the idea that their friends have been turned into enemies. Maddening jealousy, often baseless, is the cause of innumerable domestic and social infelicities, causing misery alike to its victim and its object. It makes the wife suspect the husband of wrongdoing. It makes the husband impugn the motives and actions of his wife. It is the cause of most of the quarrels of lovers, which have wrecked the happiness of many lives for time and eternity. It lashes Othello into a frenzy until the murderous fingers are clutching at the throat of his innocent wife and the suicidal knife has made an end of the swarthy Moor. It was the cause of the horrors in the last earthly days of Ivan the Terrible, who in a fit of jealousy with an iron staff crushed in the skull of his eldest born and favorite child. It is the heaving, destructive earthquake which has rock ed to ruins thousands of family altars. It has shattered many a domestic wall under the ceaseless bombardment of tempestuous denunciation and the Irre sistible flood of remorseful tears. A C'nu*«*le** Frenzy. The saddest part of these insane af flictions, where men and women will sometimes turn upon their best friends and brood over the idea that they are untrue, is that often their frenzied sur mises are without any legitimate cause. They may only be the strange halluci nations of a diseased intellect. Their loved ones may be doing everything in their power for their sick minds; they may take them to the most expensive of asylums and have for them the best of physicians and nurses; they may continually visit them and have their rooms filled with flowers and have car riages always at their disposal. These friends may stint themselves and lav ish their money in every possible way for the comfort of their weak minded relations, yet these insane patients can never be persuaded that their friends are faithful to them. Though husbands and wives and children may be doing everything that can be done for their happiness, yet they will keep on in their upbraidings and fault findings and denunciations until at last they will drive those who are nearest and dearest to them from their sides. No impression will cause a husband to de spise a wife quicker than the belief that she distrusts him and will not credit what he says; no knowledge on earth will send a young woman to de struction sooner (ban the thought that the man she married has dropped the role of a lover for that of a sneaking de tective. Continual fault finding and false accusations and frenzied distrust and venomous sneers and multitudi nous reproaches and sulky breedings always defeat their own ends with our loved ones us jealousy also defeats its own aim in our treacherous dealings with our hated rivals. The rattlesnake’s fang is a poor receptacle In which to store the honey of an orange blossom. The most virulent forms of madden ing Jealousy can often be found among the old as well as among the young. The superintendents of- the great in sane asylums will tell you that seme of their patients have been living In charge of their keepers for ten, twenty, thirty and sometimes even forty or fifty years. 1 remember, some years ago, that I saw an old woman In the Flatbush Insane asylum, who, I be lieve, had been there for nearly fifty years. She thought she was the queen of England, and she wore a paper cornucopia upon her head for a crown. She was there knighting her courtiers and creating earls, marquises and dukes out of the attendants and vis itors, Just as she did when first brought Into the asylum many years ago. So we find that the evil flames of madden ing Jealousy can sometimes burn as fiercely In the sinful hearts of men and women who have lived their twoscore years and ten ns In the hearts of the young who are Just starting out In the struggle of life. Fathers and mothers and older men and women, 1 would not for a moment cast a slur on your past usefulness or belittle the respect which the world ought to show to gray hairs; but, hon estly and frankly, do you not feel that the young folks ought to have their first I ssons of magnanimity from you? When your time comes to go, would you not rather that your sons and daughters should weep about your dy ing bed and feel that they have lost a dear, helpf ul fri 'lid than that they shall be glad that you are dying, be cause you are holding with a selfish grip to all that you have? My aged friend, you should not only be willing to l.ve, but you should also be willing to let live. Every old merchant should try to help the young merchant. Ev ery old physician should be ready to lend his medical books to the young physician and speak a good word for him in the neighborhood. Every old lawyer should bo willing to give his advice to the young lawyer, and every old minis!er to encourage the young minister. Ye older men, you should not only he proud of the fact that you have made a success, but you should also be proud of the fact that you have helped some younger man to climb the difficult heights from which you are now able calmly to look down upon the thousands struggling in ascent far be neath. Sin I* the Chief C«n*e. But maddening jealousy has a direct personal cause. All insanities are the result of some organic or functional disorder. Sometimes insanity may be caused by a fall or a blow. Bart of the skull may he crushed in, and a piece of the bone will be found, by postmortem examination, to be pressing on the brain. Such a splintered bone was the cause of a brilliant Chicago lawyer’s mental downfall. Frank Collyer was one dark night struck by a footpad’s club, and part of his skull was driven into the brain, and he never talked ra tionally again. Sometimes Insanity is the result of overtaxed nerves; some times the disease is inherited from an cestral causes; so maddening jealousy has a direct cause. That spiritual diag nosis can be spelled in the one fearful word of three letters. Its only cause is “sin.” The same kind of sin which to day fills our jails and reformatory in stitutions and lifts the hangman’s noose is the fiendish, maddening evil against which, In his day, King Solo mon lifted his voice in protest. Now, my brother, as the insanity of jealousy is caused by sin, will you not come to that Christ who is willing and able to take this sin out of your life? In the Bible we read that Christ was and is able to make the evil passions come out of a man. So great was and is Christ’s divine power in this re spect that Luke tells us there was a man affiicted not only with one, but with a legion or four thousand, devils. This man was so goaded by this de moniac possession that, though he was bound in fetters of chains, he would snap them as easily as a lion might brush aside a spider's web. He was so distracted that in his frenzy he would tear off all his clothes. But when Jflpus spoke the word of deliverance the man who was once insane immediately be came clothed and in his right mind. If Christ could do all that for the insane man of old, will you not !et Jesus cure you also of the awful insanity of jeal ousy? Oh, my sinful friend, you have hated men and despised men and found fault with men long enough! Will you not, here and now, by Christ’s help, learn to love men and try to help men instead of trying to destroy them? By the noble example of Christ’s life today may we be led to exterminate the awful sin of jealousy. Some years ago a New York public school teacher, whose scholars were mostly drawn from the slums, carried into her class room a beautiful white lily. One of her pupils was a poor waif of the street. Her clothes were soiled and torn. Her hands and face were dirty. The teacher thought she would please this poor child by giving to her the beautiful flower, but instead of taking It the young girl turned and ran out of the room. A little later she came back with her face and hands washed and then said: “Teacher, 1 am clean now. Give me the beautiful flower.” So the sense of moral pollution often makes men shrink from accepting the gift God Is offering in the person of his Son; but It is because of that very pollution that he presses his gift upon us. We can not cleanse ourselves, but we can pray that he will cleanse us and make us fit to receive him who is “the Lily of the Valley, the One altogether lovely.” [Copyright. 1002. by Louis Klopsch.] A Story of Andrew CarneKle. A new and Interesting story is being told of Mr. Andrew Carnegie. He was walking along a country road not far from Skibo castle when he came across an old cottager busily engaged in put ting a thatch roof on his cottage. He asked the man why he did not put on a tiled roof and was told that it was too expensive. “How much?” he curtly asked. “Fifty pounds,” the man replied, and to his intense amazement and Joy Mr. Carnegie there and then wrote him out a check for that amount Goiug In doors, he told his wife the news. “Mon,” she said scornfully, “why dlnna ye say £75? Go au’ tell him ye made a mistake,” The cottager journeyed up to the cas tle and was shown into Mr. Carnegie's study. He explained that h# had been wrong about the cost, saying it would be £25 more. The millionaire philan thropist asked for the check back, coolly tore It In pieces, and the dis mayed and disconsolate cottager was promptly shown the door. Man’* Inhumanity to Man.
