Pastor of Jefferson Park Presby terian Church, Chicago O ■ — < ' Chicago, May 24.—In view of the approaching celebration of Memorial day and the decoration of soldiers’ graves Dr. Talmage recalled in his ser mon lliis morning the services rendered to the nation by American sailors and pleaded that they, too, he remembered in the patriotic tribute. His text was Isaiah xxxiii. 21. “Neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.” The old Brooklyn navy yard used to have many interesting sights. There were its museum and its antiquated cannon mounted in the yards and its piles of empty shells. There were its famous dry dock anti the great sheds under which lay the keels and the skeleton ribs of those massive frames that were laid and knit together to ward the close of the civil war, but never finished. There were also its uniformed sailors and marines and its buildings, tilled with food and clothing soon to be sent to the different naval stations of the world. There often lay the training ships and the great men- of-war just in from foreign ports. But to me the most interesting place of all in the Brooklyn navy yard, where I used to play as a 1 >y, was “Rotten row.” Alongside of its wharfs were tied some of the decaying vessels that had helped to make America’s valor respected and admired around the world. These ships were too old to voyage the sen and too weak to defy the enemy's shells. They were also too sacred to be split up for kindling. There they lay. with a sentimental but not an intrinsic value. Their decks won; deserted, their hulls empty, their masts cut down. But there they float ed at the docks, magnificent reminders of a glorious past. Isaiah lias been walking in imagina tion along the “Rotten row” of a mil lennial dawn. With prophetic vision, lie lias been looking ahead to the time when all the navies of the world shall go out of commission; when every quarter deck of every man-of-war shall 1)0 a playground for the pattering feet of the little children; when the war ships’ decks shall no longer bo slippery with human blood. “Neither shall gal lant ship pass thereby,” translated into the language of ordinary life, means “Neither shall gallant men-of- war ever again sail to destroy life.” And yet Isaiah, speaking of this glad some day, cannot refrain from paying a well earned compliment to those patriotic sailors who have always been willing to light and, if necessary, to die for their country’s cause. He speaks of the man-of-war in words of martial praise, lie calls the naval vessel a “gallant ship.” llcroie 1)cc<In «»f Dlaejaclteta. Ought the jack tars of old to bo more honored than those of the present time? Cannot we afford, on this Me morial Sunday, to praise the heroic deeds of American bluejackets who fought under John Paul Jones in the Ranger and tin; Ronhomme Richard, under Captain Hull in the Constitution, under James Lawrence in the Chesa peake, under Decatur in the United States, under Farragut in the Hart ford, under Dewey iu the Olympia? If the most conspicuous monument in all London was reared in Trafalgar square to the memory of Admiral Nel son, surely we, on this last Sabbath preceding our annual Memorial day. should dedicate at least one sermon to the noble tars who, In the American wars, won immortal fame upon the high seas. “Gallant ships” is a term we can well apply to the great num ber of man-of-war vessels which have composed the American navy from 177(1 down to the present time. The American navy was always will ing to fight our wars with the material it had on hand. Its officers In the past did not estimate the strength of the enemy. They gathered together what vessels and men they could, and then they went forth to battle, no matter how great the odds were against them. We are all able to recognize this kind of valor when it is found beating under the breast of an American. When some years ago a tourist was being shown about the heights of Quebec a French guide tauntingly said, “And these are the cannon we captured on Bunker Hill.” “Yes,” answered the American, “you got the guns, but we have the hill. And w r e finally got possession of Bun ker Hill with soldiers who wore no uni form and, for the most part, had no military education. We won with farmers’ boys, led by farmers like Put nam and Nat Greene.” But is the Rev. olutionary soldiers’ bravery to be prais ed more than that of the Revolutionary sailors? Were the most heroic deeds of Lexington and Princeton and Saratoga and Valley Forge any more brilliant or heroic than that of Captain Paul Jones, who with an old tub set sail for Eng land and set fire to the British ship ping at White Haven on November, 1777? Was George Washington cross ing the Delaware a more glorious fig ure than Captain Jones standing upon the deck of the Bonhomme Richard and fighting on until his own ship was a w’reck, and then, when the Serapis had struck her colors, sailing away In the captured prize, while his own ship, with a swift plunge, went down to a watery grave? I'errr and Decatur. Then, passing by the war of 1812 and the deeds of Perry and Decatur, we would come down to the war of 1861. We would speak iu the same breath of the deeds of the northern and southern sailors. We certainly were brothers before the war; we have been brothers since the war; we were broth ers during the war, though for that short time we had a family difference. Was there ever a braver deed recorded than when Commodore Franklin Buch anan steered the Confederate Merrimac into Hampton Roads to give battle to the whole Federal tloct? You must re member that this kind of vessel had never yet been tested, and her arma ment had already been condemned by the naval experts ns dangerous and of little use. Then, after the Merrimac in one day hail sunk the Cumberland and disabled the Congress and run the Minnesota aground, was there ever a braver sight than when the little band- box Monitor, seemingly a mere toy, went forth as a shoplift'd boy to meet this mighty naval Goliath? Then, aft er the Merrimac and the Monitor had been supposed to render useless all the wooden ships as men-of-war, was there ever a grander sight than when old Admiral David Farragut, sixty-five years of age, lashed in the riggings of the old Hartford, led Ids wooden ships past forts supposed to be impassable, over waters invested with torpedoes, into Mobile bay, where lay the ironclad Tennessee, black grimed and merciless, ready to demolish what might escape the deadly fire of the forts? Yes; such mighty deeds have always crowded the pages of our naval history. In no case can it be said that the American navy was ever unwilling to light its coun try's battles with the material it had on hand. Are you and I ready to do the duties that arise before us, day by day, as promptly and unquestioningly as the American navy, as a whole, did its du‘y? Are we ready to go forth bravely and cheerfully, no matter how weak may seem to be our mental, physical and spiritual equipment? Do you not know that your very confi dence in yourselves and your willing ness to go ahead mean already the battle half won? When Lieutenant Dupont was commanded to do a cer tain thing, at first he failed to carry out his orders. Returning to Admiral Farragut, he began to make many ex cuses for his failure. But the great admiral turned and said: “Ah, Dupont, you have not given me the chief ex cuse for your failure. You did not accomplish what I told you to do chiefly because, deep down in your heart, you did not think you could do it.” “Then, if that be true,” said the young sailor, “I will go ahead and carry out your orders.” And go ho did. Are not our failures, my hearers, due to a like cause? If we had the faith in God that wo ought to have should wo not accomplish more? Sailoi'N In th«- Civil War. But the American navy has also boon willing at all times to do its routine work as well as to unlimber its bat teries and clear its decks in time of conflict. There is something inspiring, something terrific and overwhelming, in the thought of two great naval monsters coming closer and closer to gether to grapple in mortal combat. What man is there whose cheek does not Hush when he hears about the duel of the Constitution and the Guerriere? What American’s eye does not flash when he sees Commodore Hull com manding his flag officer, Lieutenant Morris, to withhold the fire of his gun ners until the two vessels were within speaking distance, then, with cannon double shotted, to send forth their messengers of death? But the great est work of a navy is not always in fighting, but may he in patrolling a blockade. The victories of LL S. Grant would never have been won had he not had the assistance of the American sailor as well as of the soldier in blue. The value of the services the sailors rendered in that awful conflict cannot be exaggerated. It was they who intercepted the supplies that the southern armies so sorely needed. It was their vigilance that produced the destituion which not even the sublime self sacrifice of the southern people could relieve. Day in and day out, year in and year out, the northern ships blockaded the southern ports. The southern armies were more starved to death than they were shot to pieces by Federal guns. In all the pages of history you can not find any nobler record of self de nial and suffering than that of the southern lady and the soldier in gray in 1862-04, caused for the most part by the poverty resulting from that inex orable naval blockade. As I said be fore, the Southern Confederacy was simply starved to death by the routine work of the American navy. Grant and Lee, Sherman and Johnson and Thomas and Hood, Sheridan and Long- street, won immortal fame upon the land, yet very few people have stopped to give due credit to the faithful naval otlicers and sailors who uncomplain ingly sailed backward and forward in front of Charleston and Savannah and the other southern harbors. Navy Should Be Honored. Let us ask ourselves if we are ready to do the necessary routine work of our lives as the American sailors In the past have been ready to do theirs. Are we sulking in our homes and re fusing to faithfully perforin the vital daily tasks of an inconspicuous life merely because the newspapers do not report the orders we give to the cook or tell about how many yards of cloth we week by week sell over the coun ter? David Farragut had to wait until he was over sixty years of age before he had an opportunity to distinguish himself in battle. If tbe groat Ameri can naval officer could patiently, un complainingly and faithfully perform the humbler duties of dally life until he was an old man, near to the grave, surely we can afford to be brave and true in the Inconspicuous duties God has given us to do. The American navy should be hon ored. Upon its glorious muster roll are to be found the names of Interna tional statesmen as well as heroic fighters — men who have brilliantly served our country with brain and pen as well as with the sword. Many of our presidents have been elected to the White House on account of their mili tary records. Washington and Taylor and Jackson and William II. Harrison and Grant anil Hayes and Garfield are among the number. But the American soldier rarely lias the opportunity to study statecraft as has the sailor. It was only comparatively a few years ago that foreign lands were brought into cable touch with our national cap ital. Thus every naval ship which touched a foreign port not only had to have a captain who could sail the seas, but also a naval diplomat, who, inde pendent of the home government, had to decide many questions which, wrongly decided, might involve his country in bloody international strife We all honor Admiral Dewey lor his memorable victory in Manila harbor. It is easy enough now for deprecating critics to declare that he merely sank a few old rotten hulks, armed for the most part with antiquated guns. But when Dewey went into that harbor he went with a heart as brave and fear less as that of Farragut when he sailed Into Mobile bay. As far as the Amer icans knew those waters were mined with torpedoes. Those forts guarding the outlets were supposed to be impas sable. The Spanish admiral’s fleet, on paper, was a powerful flotilla of death. Only a Spaniard could have any con ception of how corrupt the Spanish navy had become. Only a Spaniard, who was a tyrant in Cuba. Porto Rico and tbe Philippines, could suspect that Spain’s own naval officers would fill their torpedoes with sand and pocket the money which ought to have pur chased powder and would thus leave their war ships absolutely defenseless, because the funds which were voted to the Spanish navy had been stolen. VliiioliliiiKr tho Flair. Our national indebtedness to our na vy is not confined to its prowess in battle. We owe much to the tact and statesmanship of our naval command ers. They have not only to uphold the honor of our flag in distant seas, but to display the courtesy and consideration to the navies of other nations which are necessary to tho maintenance of friendly relations. It would have been possible for Admiral Dewey by an in discreet act while he lay in Manila bay to have involved us in an international quarrel. Thousands of miles away from home, there ho lay, surrounded by the cannon of foreign ships. By one false move he could have made Germany an enemy and involved us in war with Emperor William. Had he been careless there might have ensued a scramble on the part of other nations to gain possession of some of the Phil ippine Islands for themselves. There was similar danger in tho Hawaiian difficulty. During all the negotiations over the Hawaiian Islands there lay the American war ship Philadelphia, by careful diplomacy compelling the foreign governments to keep their hands olY, until at last the American flag flew from above the ex-queen’s throne room. What honor is too great for tho memory of Commodore Mat thew C. Perry, who in March, 1852, ne gotiated the famous treaty with Japan which for the first time opened the ports of the mikado to tho ships from other lands? Incident after incident could lie cited where the American sailor has won imperishable laurels in preventing war rather than in winning prizes after a war has been started. Our American navy has defied tho severity of the elements as well as the storm of shot and shell. I am not now speaking of the hurricanes which blow over the Atlantic or the Pacific. I have in mind the frigid terrors of the far north, which Captain D. L. Braine defied when he tried to find the arctic pole in 187.”, and Lieutenant Com mander George Washington Do Long defied when he led the fatal Jeannette expedition in 1870. Ah, those were brave men, yet no braver than General Greely anil Rear Admiral Melville and the many gallant fellows who went after the Do Long party, and faced icy dangers to bring back the survivors and tin* frozen bodies of the dead. They were no braver men than Lieutenant Peary, who has again and again tried to reach the north pole. On returning home from his latest journey he had to have part of his feet amputated because they had been frozen among the northern snows. In spite of all the past dangers and sufferings, ho is again chafing and fretting to go back to his old search. For National Safety. Docs any one say that all this sacri fice of heroic naval lives to the northern elements is a useless sacrifice? I do not think so. As a young boy I saw the long procession of hearses that car ried many of the dead of the ill fated Do Long expedition out to their last resting place. I heard the sad story told by a surviving lieutenant, who aft erward, while suffering from injuries received In that rescue expedition, took his own life. I said then what I say now: Any plan conceived In the Inter est of science or the search after truth, any expedition which Is born with the hope of learning something not known before, Is worthy of sacrifice. This was the desire that drove Columbus across the seas. This was tho desire which made Galilei defy tho hierarchy of Rome and stick to the truth that the earth moves round the sun. And this is the purpose which has made many a noble naval hero lay down his life upon the spotless white altar of the northern snows, overtopped by the towering memorial shafts of the arctic icebergs. All honor to those brave men! May such men ever be found serving In the American navy—men who In the cause of science or of pa triotism count not their lives dear unto them, but go fearlessly Into danger that they may win honor for their flag. May there ever be, too. In Christ’s serv- iie men of similar fiber, bold to seek tlie truth wherever it may be found and fearless in declaring it, though tlx y have to eneounter the frigid hos tility of friends and the virulent hatred of foes. The American navy is to be honored today. The genius of its constructors and Ud* sure marksmanship of its gun ners are to he the great preventers of future wars. The president of the United States a short time ago, when speaking in the city of Chicago, said practically these words: “Do not boast in reference to our national prowess. Let us obey the old adage which says. ‘Speak softly, hut carry a big club, and go ahead.’” The big club today for national offense and defense is the American navy. More and more has the law of national development in creased tho responsibility of the t^vy. With a coast so extended as ourwVm east and west apd south we are at the mercy of a foreign enemy. A hostile fleet lying outside New York, Boston. Charleston or San Francisco could by a few hours' bombardment exact a ransom of fabulous amount unless we had a fleet to defend our ports. For our national safety, for the very pres ervation of our national existence, we need strong ships and brave men to man them. I.et us then by the honors that we pay to the naval heroes of the past encourage their successors. ClirIMinn Men In the Service. But now the genius of American na val construction has been at work. We see the glittering uniforms of the American naval officers standing upon the decks of the New York. Chicago, Iowa, Brooklyn, Texas, Oregon, Olym pia, Massachusetts, Illinois, new Maine and Philadelphia, and the great fleets of other war ships which now compose our navy, and all the many other war ships soon to be built and put into com mission. And as we see the new white ships steam past in review they do not come as demons of war, but as white angels of peace. Never fail to honor the United States sailor. Never declare that all the money appropriat ed by congress for ironclads is useless ly spent. Under present conditions the only way to prevent war is to be strong for national defense. It is only for a time. The gospel is eventually to per meate all nations and bring every gov ernment into subjection to the Prince of Peace. When that glorious day comes, our battle ships may be disman tled and instead of guns and arma ments of war they may sail forth hear ing Bibles and missionaries or food for some famine stricken people. But there is another reason for hon oring tho American navy. We honor it for the lives of its Christian men, both in sailors’ bunk and officers’ cabin, whose influence has permeated the whole service. Some people are apt to think of the American sailors as a cursing, lying, drinking, carousing lot. That is not true. Some of the noblest of Christians have worn the naval uni form. Did ever a Christian write a more beautiful letter than this, which Admiral Farragut wrote to his wife the .night before the battle of Mobile Bay: “My Dearest Wife—I write and leave this letter to you. I am going into Mobile bay In the morning if God is my leader, and I hope he is. and in him I place my trust. If he thinks it is the proper place for me to die I am ready to submit to his will in that as in all other things. God bless and pre serve you. my darling, end my dear hoy, if anything should happen to me. May his blessing rest upon you and your dear mother.” Was there ever a sweeter Christian character than Com modore Philip, who was once Captain Philip of the Texas? He was bravo enougli before Santiago when Cer- vera's fleet was going down to call out to his victorious men: “Don’t cheer, boys. Those poor fellows over there are dying.” And he was brave enougli after tho battle was ended to call his men together and have the ship's chap lain return thanks to that God who had preserved the American ships in tiie battle. During the weary blockade off San tiago, the commander of the Ameri can fleet. Admiral William T. Samp son, was seen again and again to kneel by ids bertli in prayer. All through the forecastle, as well as the officers’ quarters of the American navy, there have always been praying men. They have realized their need of wisdom, and have gone to the divine source; they have known the weakness of their moral nature, and have sought the help of him who is able to keep them in temptation. They have learned how liable they are to sudden death in wreck or in battle, and they have committed their souls to Christ. Their needs are ours; we, too, In the voyage of life, must have divine succor lest we make shipwreck. The same ear is open to our supplication. With them, and for them, let us bow at the throne of grace. Tims I have two purposes in preach ing tills sermon. The one is, to show what our naval heroes have done. While tho flowers of this Memorial day are being placed upon the sol diers’ graves, I would have you re member the heroes whose bodies lie in unknown sepulchers beneath the blue waters of the deep. We can lay no flowers on their resting place, but in our hearts we can do them honor, and by our gratitude keep their mem ory green. My second purpose is to remind you of the duties we owe to God and our country. This land, in defense of which the naval heroes laid down their lives, is a sacred heritage. Its honor, its principles, its best inter ests, are in our keeping. Their self sacrifice will go for naught if we allow our country to drift into infidelity and sin. Only by righteousness can we hope for tho divine protection. Let us every one do our part In our several positions to make our beloved country, which is consecrated by the lives and deaths of these heroes, a God fearing, God serving nation.
