DR. TALMAGE PREACHES UPON THE j
SUSTAINING POWER OF RELIGION.
The Usual Great Audience Enraptured Over (
His Glowing Discourse-Trials and Temp?
tations of tbe World-A Curious Text and
a Cniqme Sermon.
BROOKLYN, April 1.-In the Brooklyn
Tabernacle this forenoon Rev. Dr. Tal
mage preached to a crowded audience on
a subject of unusual interest, as illustrat?
ing the sustaining power of religion to
tirase who are in daily contact with the
world, its trials and temptations. The
test chosen was Psalms lxviii, 13,
"Though ye have lain among the pots,
yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove
covered -with silver and her feathers
with yellow gold."
I suppose you know what the Israelites
did down in Egyptian slavery. They
made "bricks. Amid the utensils of the
brickkiln there were also other utensils
of cookery-the kettles, the pots, the
pans, with winch they prepared their
daily food, and when these poor slaves,
tired of the day's work, lay down to rest
they lay down among the implements of
cookery and the implements of hard
work. When they arose in the morning,
tiley found their garments covered with
the clay, and the smoke, and the dust,
and beonirched and begrimed with the
utensils of cookery.
But after awhile the Lord broke ap
that slavery, and he took these poor
slavesinto a land where they had better
< garb, bright and clean and beautiful ap?
parel. No more bricks for them to make.
Let Pharaoh make his own bricks. When
David, in my text, comes to describe the
transition of these poor Israelites fren
their bondage amid the brickkilns in+o
the glori?os emancipation for which God
had prepared them, he says, "Though ye
have lain among the pots, yet shall ye
"be as the wings of a dove covered wi di
silver and her feathers with yellow
gold."
A HARD TASSMASTER.
Miss Whately, the author of a cele?
brated book, "Life in Egypt," said she
sometimes saw people in the east cooking
theirfood on the tops of houses, and th nt
she had often seen just before sundown
" pigeons and doves, which had during th?
heat of the day been hiding anions tre
kettles and the pans'with which the food
was prepared,, picking up the cn? nibs th. : t
they might find. Just about the hour of
sunset they would spread their win::s
and fly heavenward, entirely unsoiled by
the region in which they had moved, for
the pigeon is a very cleanly bird.
And as the pigeons flew away the set?
ting sun would throw silver on the:.r
wings and gold on their breasts. So yc:i
see it is not a farfetched simile or au
unnatural comparison when David, in
my text, says to these emancipated Isra?
elites, and says to all those who ar?
"brought out of any kind of trouble iu: o
any kind of spiritual joy, "Though ye
have lain arnon.? the pots, yet shall ye
be as fee wings of a dove covered with
silver and her feathers with yellow gold.s
Sin is the hardest of all taskmasters.
Worse than Pharaoh, it keeps us drudg?
ing in a most degrading service, but
after awhile Christ comes, and he says,
"Let my people go," and we pass ont
from among the brickkilns of sin into
the glorious liberty of the gospel. We
put on the clean robes of a Christian
profession, and when at last we soar
away to the warm nest which God has
provided for us in heaven we shall go
fairer than a dove, its wings covered
with silver and its feathers with yellow
gold.
THE DOVE AS A COMPARISON.
I am going to preach something which !
some of you do not believe, and that is ;
that the grandest possible adornment is
the religion of Jesus Christ; There are
a great many people who suppose * ha t j
religion is a very different thing from i
what it really is. The reason men con?
demn the Bible is because they do not
understand the Bible. They have not
properly examined it. Dr. Johnson said
that Hume told a minister in the bishop?
ric of Durham that he had never par?
ticularly examined the New Testament,
yet all his life warring against it. Hal?
ley, the astronomer, announced his skep?
ticism to Sir Isaac Newtd^and Sir Isaac j
Newton said: "Now, sir, 7 have exam- j
ined the subject, and you have not. An 3 j
I am ashamed that you, professing to be
a philosopher, consent to condemn a
thing you have never examined."
And so men reject the religion of Jesus j
Christ because they really have never in- .
vestigated it. They think it something !
undesirable, something that will not
work, something Pecksnifhan, something
hypocritical, something repulsive, when j
it is so bright and so beautiful you might j
compare it to a chaffinch, yon might com
pare it to a robin red breast, you might
compare it to a dove-its wings covered
with silver and its feathers with yellow
gold.
But how is it if a young man becomes
a Christian? All through the clubrooms j
where he associates, all through the busi?
ness circles where he is known, there is ;
commiseration. They say, "What a pity
that a young man who had such bright j
prospects should so have been despoiled !
by those Christians, giving up all his
worldly prosoects for something which \
is of no particular present worth V Here j
is a young: woman who beeomes a Chris- j
tian-her voice, her face, ber manners
the charm of the drawing room.
Now all through the fashionable cir?
cles the whisper goes, "What a pity that
such a bright light should have been ex?
tinguished, that such a graceful gait
should be crippled, that such worldly
prospects should be obliterated!" Ah,
my friends, it can be shown that re?
ligion's ways are ways of pleasantness
and that all her paths are peace; that re?
ligion, instead of being dark and doleful
and lachrymose and repulsive, is bright j
and beautiful, fairer than a dove, its. j
wings covered with silver and its feath- j
era with yellow gold.
DROWNING TROUBLE.
See, in the first place, what religion will
do for a man's heart. I care not how
cheerful a man may naturally be before j
conversion, conversion brings him up to I
a higher standard of cheerfulness. I do j
not say he will laugh any louder. Ido
not say but he may stand back from 1
some forms of hilarity in wnicli ne ona
indulged, hut there comes into his sou
an immense satisfaction. A young ma?
not a Christian depends upon worldly
successes to keep his spirits np. Nov*
he is prospered, now he has a large sal
ary, now he has a beautiful wardrobe
now he has pleasant friends, now he has
more money than he knows how t(
spend. Everything goes bright and wei
with him.
But trouble comes. - There are manj
young men in the house this morning
who can testify ont of their own experi?
ence that sometimes to young men trou?
ble does come-his friends are gone, hii
salary is gone, his health is gone. He
goes down, down. He becomes sour,
cross, queer, misanthropic, blames the
world, blames society, blamesthe church,
blames everything, rushes perhaps to the
intoxicating cup to drown his trouble,
bnt instead of drowning his trouble he
drowns his body and drowns his soul.
But here is a Christian young man.
Trouble comes to him. Does he give up":
No! He throws himself back on the re?
sources of heaven. He says: "God is
my Father. Out of all these disasters I
shall pluck advantage for my soul. All
the promises are mine, Christ is mine,
Christian companionship is mine, heaven
is mine. What though my apparel be
worn out? Christ gives me a robe of
righteousness. What though my money
be gone? I have a title deed to the whole
universe in the promise, 'All are yours.1
What though my worldly friends fall
away? Ministering angels are my body?
guard. What though my fare be poor
and my bread be scant? I sit at the king's
banquet!"
Oh, what a poor, shallow stream is
worldly enjoyment compared with the
deep, broad, overflowing river of God's
peace, rolling midway in the Christian
heart! Sometimes you have gone out
on the iron bound beach of the sea when
there has been a storm on the ocean, an?l
yon have seen the waves dash into white
foam at your feet. They did not do yon
any harm. While there you though: of
the chapter written by the psalmist, and
perhaps you recited it to yourself while
the storm was making commentary upon
the passage: "God is our refuge and
strength, a very present help in time of
trouble. Therefore will I not fear,
though the earth be removed, and though
the mountains be carried into the midst
of the sea, though the waters thereof
roar and be troubled, though the moun?
tains shake with the swelling theroof."
Oh, how independent the religion of
Christ makes a man of wordly success
and worldly circumstances! Nelson, the
night before his last battle, said, *'To?
morrow I shall win either a peerage or a
grave in Westminster abbey." And it
does not make much difference to the
Christian whether he rises or falls in
worldly matters. He has everlasting re?
nown anyway. Other plumage may be
torn in the blast, but that soul adorned
with Christian grace is fairer than the
dove-its wings covered with silver and
its feathers with gold.
LUSKIN'G Di TEE CUP.
You and I have found out that people
who pretend to be happy are not always
happy. Look at that young man carica?
turing the Christian religion, scoffing at
everything good, going into roistering
drunkenness, dashing the champagne
bottle to the floor, rolling the glasses
from the barroom counter, laughing,
shouting, stamping the floor. Is he hap?
py? I will go to his midnight pillow. I
will see him turn the gas off. I will ask
myself if the pillow on which he sleeps
is as soft as the pillow on which that
pure young man sleeps.
Ah, no! When he opens his eyes in
the morning, will the world be as bright
to him as to that young man who retired
at night saying his prayers, invoking
God's blessing upon his own soul and
the souls of his comrades and father and
mother and brothers and sisters far
away? No, no! His Laugh will ring out
from the saloon so that you hear it as :
you pass by, but it is hollow laughter, i
Li it is the snapping of heartstrings and
the rattle of prison gates. Happy-t hat
young man happy?
Let him fill high the bowl; he cannot
drown an upbraiding conscience. Let j
the balls roll through the bowling alley; !
the deep rumble and the sharp crack can?
not overpower the voices of condemna?
tion. Let him whirl in the dance of sin
and temptation and death; all the bril?
liancy of the scene cannot make him for?
get the last look of his mother when he
left home, when she said to him: "Now. j
my son, you will do right; I am sure you j
will do right. You will, won't your That j
young man happy? Why, across every j
night there flit shadows of eternal dark
ness; there are adders coiled up in every i
cup; there are vultures of despair strik- |
ing their iron beaks into his heart: there
axe skeleton fingers of grief pinching at j
the throat.
USEFUL RELIGION.
I come in amid the clicking of the !
glasses and under the flashing of the j
chandeliers, and I cry: "Woe! Woe! The j
way of the ungodly shall perish. ?here j
is no peace, saith my God, to the wick
ed. The way of transgressors is hard." i
Oh, my friends, there is more joy in one
drop of Christian satisfaction than in
whole rivers of sinful delight. Other J
wings may be drenched of the storm
and splashed of the tempest, but the ?
dove that comes in through the window j
cf this heavenly ark has wings like the
dove covered with silver and her feath- j
ers with yellow gold.
Again, I remark, religion is an adorn- ;
ment in the style of usefulness into which :
it inducts a man. Here are two young j
men. The one has fine culture, exquisite :
wardrobe, plenty of friends, great world- \
ly success, but he lives for himself. His
chief care is for his own comfort. He !
lives uselessly. He dies unregretted. j
Here is another young man. His ap- j
parel may not be so good; his education
may. not be so thorough. He lives for I
others. His happiness is to make others i
happy. He is as self denying as that dy
ing soldier falling in the ranks, when he .
said: "Colonel, there is no need of those
boys tiring themselves by carrying me
to the hospital, het me die just where
I am." So this youfcg man of whom I j
speak loves God, wants all the world to j :
love him, is not ashamed to carry a bun?
dle of clothes up that dark alley to the
poor. Which of those young men do
you admire the better? The one a sham,
theo/ther a prince imperial.
Oh, do yon know of anything, ni}
hearer, that is more beautiful than to se<
a young man start out for Christ? Hen
is some one falling; he lifts him up. Et:-,
is a vagabond boy; he introduces him ; <
a mission school. Here is a family freez
ing to death; he carries them a scuttle o?
coal. There are 800,000,000 perishing ii
midnight heathen darkness. By all pos
Bible means he tries to send them tht
gospel. He may be laughed at, and ht
may be sneered at, and he may be cari
catured, but he is not ashamed to gc
everywhere saying: "I am not ashamed
of the gospel of Christ. It is the powei
of God and the wisdom of God unto sal?
vation."
Such a young man can go through
everything. There is no force on earth
or in hell that can resist him. I show
you three spectacles:
CERTAIN SPECTACLES.
Spectacle the First-Napoleon passed
by with the host that went down with
him to Egypt and -up with him through
Bussia and crossed the continent on the
bleeding heart of which he set his iron
heel, and across the quivering flesh of
which he went grinding the wheels of his
gun carriages-in his dying moment ask?
ing his attendants to put on his military
boots for him.
Spectacle the Second-Voltaire, bright
and learned and witty and eloquent, with
tongue and voice and strategem infernal,
warring against God and poisoning whole
kingdoms with his infidelity, yet ap?
plauded by the clapping hands of thrones
and empires and continents-his last
words, in delirium supposing Christ
standing by the bedside-his last words.
"Crush that wretchl"
Spectacle the Third-Paul-Paul, in?
significant in person, thrust out from all
refined association, scourged, spat on,
hounded like a wild beast from city to
city, yet trying to make the world good
and heaven full; announcing resurrection
to those who mourned at the barred gates
of the dead; speaking consolations which
light up the eyes of widowhood and
orphanage and want with glow of cer?
tain and eternal release; undaunted be?
fore those who could take his life, 1 * ;
cheek flushed with transport and his eye
on heaven; with one hand shaking de?
fiance at all the foes of earth and all the
principalities of hell, and with the other
hand beckoning messenger angeis to
come and bear him away as he says: "I
am now ready to be offered, and the
time of my departure is at hand. I have
fought the good fight; I haye finished my
course; I have kept the faith. Hence?
forth there is laid up for me a crown of
righteousness, which the Lord, the right?
eous Judge, will give me."
Which of the three spectacles do you
most admire? When the wind of death
struck the conqueror and the infidel,
they were tossed like sea gulls in a
tempest, drenched of the wave and torn
of the hurricane, their dismal voices
heard through tho everlasting storm,
but when the wave and the wind of
death struck Paul, like an albatross, he
made a throne of the tempest and one
day floated away into the calm, clesr
summer of heaven, brighter than the
dove, its wings covered with silver, and
its feathers with yellow gold. Oh, are
you not in love with such a religion-a
religion that can do so much for a man
while he lives and so much for aman
when he comes to die?
A CONTRAST.
I suppose you may have noticed the
contrast between the departure of a
Christian and the departure of au infidel.
Diodorus, dying in chagrin because he
could not compose a joke equal to the
joke uttered at the other end of his table;
Zeuxis, dying in a fit of laughter at the
sketch of an aged woman-a sketch
made by his own hand; Mazarin, dying
playing cards, his friend holding his
hands because he was unable to hold
them himself.
All that on one side, compared with
the departure of the Scotch minister
who said to his friends: "I have no in?
terest as to whether I live or die. If I
die, I shall be with the Lord, and if I
live the Lord will be with me." Or tht?
last words of Washington, "It is well."
Or the last word of McIntosh, the learn?
ed and the great, "Happy!" Or the last
words of Hannah More, the Christian
poetess, "Joy!" Or those thousands of
Christians who have gone, saying: "Lord
Jefjus, receive my spirit! Come, Lord
Jesus, come quickly!" "O death, where
is thy ?tiDg? O grave, where is thy vic?
tory?"
Behold the contrast. Behold the charm
of the one, behold the darkness of the
other. Now, I know it is very popular
in this day for young men to think there
is something more charming in skepti?
cism than in religion. They are ashamed
of the old fashioned religion of the cross, !
and they pride themselves on their free
thinking on all these subjects. My j
young friends, I want to tell you what 11
know from observation-that while skep- j
ticism is a beautiful land at the start, it j
is a great Sahara desert at the last.
AN APT STORY.
Years ago a ministers son went off j
from home to college. At college he j
formed the acquaintance of a young j
man whom I shall call Ellison. Ellison
was an infidel. Ellison scoffed at reli- j
gion, and the minister's son soon learned j
from him the infidelity, and when he j
went home on his vacation broke his
father's heart by his denunciations of j
Christianity. Time passed on, and vaca- i
tion came, and the minister's son went :
off to spend the vacation and was on a !
journey and came to a hotel. The hotel
keeper said: "I am sorry that tonight I
shall have to put you in a room adjoin- ?
ing one where there is a very sick and ;
dying man. I can give you no other ac?
commodation." "Oh," said the young
college student and minister's son, "that
will make no difference to me, except I
the matter of sympathy with anybody j
that is suffering."
The young man retired to his room, j
but could not sleep. All night long he j
heard the groaning of the sick man or ?
tue step ot the watcners. and his soul ?
trembled. He thought to himself: "Now,
there is only a thin wall between me and j
a departing spirit. How if Ellison should
know how I feel? How if Ellison should
?nd out how my heart flutters? What
if Ellison knew my skepticism gave
way?,A He slept not.
?i the morning, coming down, he said
to the hotel keeper, "How is the sick
maD?" "Oh," said the hotel keeper, "he
is dead, poor fellow. The doctors told
us he could not last through the night."
"Well," said the young man, "what was
the sick one's name-where is he from?"
"Well," said the hotel keeper, "he is
from Providence college." "Providence
college! What is his name?" "Ellison."
"Ellison!" Oh, how the young man was
stunned! It was his old college mate
dead without any hope.
It was many hours before the young
man could leave that hotel. He got on
his horse and started homeward, and all
the way he heard something saying to
him: "Dead! Lost! Dead! Lost!" He
came to no satisfaction until he entered
the Christian life, until he entered the
Christian ministry, until he became one
of the most eminent missionaries of the
cross, the greatest Baptist missionary
the world has ever seen since the days of
Paul-no superior to Adoniram Judson.
Mighty on earth, mighty in heaven
Adoniram Judson. Which do yon like
the best, Judson's skepticism or Judson's
Christian life, Judson's suffering for
Christ's sake, Judson's almost martyr?
dom? Oh, young man, take your choice
between these two kinds of lives. Your
own heart tells you this morning the
Christian life is more admirable, more
peaceful, more comfortable and more
beautiful.
IN GOOD C0MPAN5T.
Oh, if religion does so much for aman
on earth, what will it do for him in
heaven? That is the thought that com .s
to me now. If a soldier can afford to
shout "Huzza!" when he goes into bat?
tle, how much more jubilantly he can
afford to shout "Huzza!" when he has
gained the victory. If religion is so good
a thing to have here, how bright a thing
it will be in heaven! I want to see that
young man when the glories of heaven
have robed and crowned him. I want
to hear him sing when all huskiness of
earthly colds is gone and he rises up
with the great doxology.
I want to know what standard he will
carry when marching under arches of
pearl in the army of banners. I want
to know what company he will keep in
the land where they are all kings and
queens forever and ever. If I have in?
duced one of you this morning to begin
a better life, then I want to know it. I
may not in this world clasp hands with
you in friendship. I may not hear from
your own lips the story of temptation
and sorrow, but I will clasp hands with
you when the sea is passed and the gates
are entered.
That I might woo you to a better life,
and that I might show you the glories
with which God clothes his dear chil?
dren in heaven, I wish I could this morn?
ing swing back one of the 12 gates that ,
there might dash upon your ear one i
shout of the triumph; that there might j
flame upon your eyes one blaze of the j
splendor. Oh, when I speak of that good
land, you involuntarily think of some !
one there that you loved-father, moth?
er, brother, sister or dear little child gar?
nered already.
Yon want to know what they are do?
ing this morning. I will tell you what
they are doing. Singing! Yon want to ?
know what they wear. I will tell yon !
what they wear. Coronets of triumph!
You wonder why oft they look to the i
gate of the temple and watch and wait. I
I will tell why they watch and wait !
and look to the gate of the temple. For I
your coming! I shout upward the news
today, for I am sure some of you will re?
pent and start for heaven: "Oh, ye
bright ones before the throne, your j
earthly friends are coming! Angels pois- .
ing midair, cry up the name! Gatekeeper i
of heaven, send forward the tidings! !
Watchman on the battlements celestial,
throw the signal!"
A LOST THRONE.
"Oh," you say, "religion I am going j
to have. It is only a question of time."
My brother, I am afraid that you !
may lose heaven the way Louis Phi- !
lippe lost his empire. The Parisian mob |
came around the Tuileries, the national j
guard stood in defense of the palace, I
and the commander said to Louis Phi- j
lippe: "Shall I fire now? Shall I order
the troops to fire? With one volley we
can clear the place." "No," said Louis j
Philippe, "not yet." A few minutes j
passed on, and then Louis Philippe, see- i
ing the case was hopeless, said to the
general, "Now is the time to fire." j
"No," said the general, "it is too late j
now. Don't you see that the soldiers \
are exchanging arms with the citizens? j
It is too late."
Down went the throne of Louis Phi?
lippe. Away from the earth went the
house of Orleans, and all because the
king said, "Not yet, not yet!" May GM
forbid that any of you should adjourn
this great subject of religion and should
postpone assailing your spiritual foes un?
til it is too late, too late-you losing a
throne in heaven the way that Louis
Philippe lost a throne on earth.
When the Judge descends in might,
Clothed in majesty and light:
"When the earth shall quake with fear,
Where, oh, where wilt thou appear?
Napoleon Leads.
The editor of a French press cutting
agency, who deals in the newspapers of
the entire world, made a calculation as
to who is oftenest mentioned as a pub?
lic character. Napoleon I stands first,
although this is probably in consequence
of the passing fashion of things Napo?
leonic that set in some time ago. Then
comes the emperor of Germany, then
Prince Bismarck and only in the fourth
place Mr. Gladstone. Immediately after
comes President Carnot, and the pope
is rather a bad sixth.

Mrs. W. G. Harris, president of the
Ladies' Benevolent society of the First
Baptist church of Boston and an active
Worker in the Ladies' Needlework guild,
has started a new scheme for collecting
funds for the poor. She has put up
dainty mite boxes in the corridors of the
Parker House and the Tremont House,
with cards attached asking for contribu?
tions to be used only in cases which she
has personally investigated and found
deserving. She has visited and relieved
about 60 persons during three weeks.
