A DISCOURSE OF INTEREST TO THE
TABERNACLE THRONG?
Kev. Dr. Talmas? Upon Lift In a Great City
and the Lessons It Teaches-The Under?
current of Ufe-A Plea Fer the Sabbath.
BROOKLYN, April 8.-Before no au?
dience in the world could such a ser?
mon as Rev. Dr. Talmage preached to?
day he so appropriate as in the Brooklyn
Tabernacle, where it is estimated that
150,000 strangers attend every year. It
was a sermon that had for them a spe?
cial interest The text selected was Mat?
thew XXV, 35, "I was a stranger, and ye
took me in. "
It is a moral disaster that jocosity has
despoiled so many passages of Scripture,
and my text is one that has suffered from
irreverent and misapplied quotation. It
shows great poverty of wit and humor
when people take the sword of divine
.- truth for a game at fencing or chip off
from the Kohinoor diamond of inspira?
tion a sparkle to decorate a fool's oap/
My text is' the salutation in the last
. judgment to be given to those who have
shown hospitality and kindness and
Christian helpfulness to strangers. By
railroad and steamboat the population of
the earth are all the time in motion, and
from one year's end to anothe r our cities
are crowded with visitor s.
Every morning on the tracks of the
Hudson River, the Pennsylvania, the
Erie, the Long Island railroads there
come passenger trains more than I can
number, so that all the depots and the
wharves are a-rumble and a-clang with
the coming in of a great immigration of
strangers. Some of them come for pur?
poses of barter, some for mechanism,
some for artistic gratification, some f?r
sightseeing. A great many of them go
out on the evening trains, and conse?
quently the city makes but little impres?
sion upon them, but there are multi?
tudes who in the hotels and boarding
houses make temporary residence. They
tarry here for three or four days or as
many weeks. They spend the days in
the stores and the evenings in sightsee?
ing. Their temporary stay will make or
break them not only financially, but mor?
ally, for this world and the world that is
to come. Multitudes of them come into
our morning and evening services. I am
conscious that I stand in the presence of
many this moment. I desire more espe?
cially to speak to them. May God give
me the right word and help me to utter
it in the right way.
STBA?GEBS WITHIN THE GATES.
There, have ^Ided pto this house
those unknown to otheriwhosej history
if told would Wmoretmrilling than the
deepest tragedy, more exciting than Pat?
ti's song, more bright than a spring
morning, more awful than a wmtrr
midnight If they could stand np here
and tell the story of their escapes, and
their temptations, and their bereave?
ments, and their disasters, and their vic?
tories, and their defeats, there would be
in this house such a commingling of
groans and acclamations as would make
the place unendurable
There is a man who, in infancy, lay
in ft cradle satin lined. Out yonder is a
man who was picked np a foundling on
Boston common. Here is a man who is
coolly observing this religious service,
expecting no advantage and caring for
no advantage for Mmseff, while yonder
is a man wno has been far 10 years in
an awful conflagration of evil habits, and
he is a mere cinder of a destroyed na?
ture, and he is wondering if there shall
be in this service any escape or help for
his immortal soul Meeting you only
once perhaps face to tace, I strike hands
with yon in an earnest talk about your
present condition and your eternal well
being. St Paul's ship at Melita went to
pieces where two seas meet but we stand
today at a point where a thousand seas
converge, and eternity alone can tell the
issue of the hour.
The hotels of this country, for beauty
and elegance, are not surpassed by the
hotels in any other land, bot those that
aro most celebrated for brilliancy of tap?
estry and narrar cannot give to the
guest an^eos?y apartment unless he can
afford a parlor in addition to his lodg?
ing: The stranger, therefore, will gen
erally find assigned to him a room with?
out any pictures and perhaps any rock?
ing chair. He will find a box of matches
on a burean and an old newspaper lef'
by the previous occupant and that wilt
be about all the ornamentation. At ?
o'clock in the evening, after having tak?
en his repast, he will look over his mern
crandum book of the day's work, he will
write a letter to his home, and then a
desperation will seize upon him to get
out You hear the great city thundering
under your windows, and yon say, "I
must join that procession, " and in 10
minutes yon have joined it Where are
?ongoing? "Oh," yon say, *'I haven't
made np my mind yet " Better make
np your mind before you start Perhaps
the very way yon go now yon will al?
ways ga Twenty years ago there were
two young men who came down the As?
tor House steps and started out in a
wrong direction, where they have been
going ever since.
STUDIES OF HUMAN LIFE.
..Well, where are you going?" says
one man. "I am going to the academy
to hear some music. " Good. I would
like to join you at the door. At the tap
ai the orchestral baton all the gates of
harmony and beauty will open before
your "soul I congratulate you. Where
are you going? "Well, " you say, "I am
going up to see some advertised pic?
tures." Good. I should like to go along
with you and look over the same cata?
logue and study with you Kensett and
Bierstadt and Church and Moran. Noth?
ing more elevating than good pictures.
Where are you going? ' 'Well, ' ' you say,
"I am going up to the Young Men's
Christian association rooms." Good.
You will find there gymnastics to
strengthen the muscles, and books to im?
prove the mind, and Christian influence
to save the soul I wish every city i?
the United States had as fine a palace for
its Young Men's Christian association
as New York has. Where are you go?
ing? "Well," you say, "I am going to
take a long walk up Broadway and so
tarn around into the Bowery. 1 am j
? ing to study human life." Good,
walk through Broadway at'8 o'clock
night is interesting, educating, fascin
ing, appalling, exhilarating to the 1;
degree. Stop in front of that thea
and see who goes itt' Stop at that sale
and see who comes out See the gri
j tides of life surging backward and f?
j ward and beating against the marble
i the curbstone and eddying down ii
the saloons. What is that mark on t
! face of that debauchee? It is the hec
I flesh of eternal death. What is ti
woman's laughter? It is the shriek oi
j lost soul.
Who is that Christian man goi
along with a vial of anodyne to the c!
ing pauper on Elm street? Who is th
belated man on the way to a praj
meeting? Who is that city missiona
going to take a box in which to bury
child? Who are all these clusters
bright and beautiful faces? They are g
ing to some interesting place of amus
ment
Who is that man going into the dn
store? That is the man who yesterdj
lost all his fortune on Wall street He
going in for a dose of belladonna, ai
before morning it will make no diffe
euee to him whether stocks are up
down. I tell you that Broadway, b
tween 7 and 12 o'clock at night, betwe*
the l ottery and Central Park, is an Au
terliti, a Gettysburg, a Waterloo, whe:
kingdoms are lost or won and tim
worlds mingle in the strife.
LIFE'S DARK SIDE.
I meet another coming down off tl
hotel steps, and i say, "Where are ye
going?" You say: "I am going with
merchant of New York who has pron
ised to show me the underground life <
the city. I am his customer, and he
going to oblige me very much. " Stoi
A business house that tries to get or kee
your custom through such a process z
that is not worthy of you. There ai
business establishments in our citic
which have for years been sending t
destruction hundreds and thousands c
merchants. They have a secret drawe
in the counter where money is kept, an
the clerk goes and gets it when he want
to take these visitors to the city throng
the low slums of the place.
Shall I mention the names of some c
these great commercial establishments
I have them on my lips. Shall I? Pei
haps I had better leave it to the youn?
men who in that process have been de
stroyed themselves while they have boei
destroying others. I care not how higl
sounding the name of a commercial es
tablishment if it proposes to get custom
ers or to keep them by such a process a
that Drop their acquaintance. The:
will cheat you before you iget through
They will send you a style of goods dif
ferent'from that which you bought ty
sample. They will give you unde:
weight There will be in the packagi
half a dozen less pairs of suspenders thai
you paid far. They will rob you Oh
you feel in your pockets and say, * 'Is ny
money gone?" They have robbed you ol
something for which dollars and cent?
can never give you compensation.
When one of these western merchants
has been dragged by one of those com
merdai agents through the slums of the
eily, he is not nt to go home. The mere
memory of what he has seen will be
moral pollution. I think you had better
let tiie city missionary and the police at?
tend to the exploration of New York and
underground life You do not go to a
smallpox hospital for the purpose of ex?
ploration. Yon do not go there because
you are afraid of contagion. And yet
you go into the presence of a moral lep?
rosy that is as much more dangerous to
you as the death of the soul is worse
than the death of the body. I will un?
dertake to say that nine-tenths of the
men who haye been ruined in our cities
have been ruined by simply going to ob?
serve without any idea of participating.
The fact is that underground city life is
a filthy, fuming, reeking, pestiferous
depth which blasts the eye that looks at
it In the reign of terror in 1792 in
Paris people escaping from the officers
of the law got into the sewers of the
city and crawled ana walked through
miles of that awful labyrinth, stifled
with the atmosphere and almost dead,
some of them, when they came out to
the river Seine, where they washed
themselves and again breathed the fresh
air. But I have to tell you that a great
many of the men who go on the work of
exploration through the underground
gutters of New York life never come out
at any Seine river where they can wash
off the pollution of the moral sewage
Stranger, if one of the representatives
of a commercial establishment proposes
to take you and show you the "sights'
of the town and underground New York,
say to him, "Please, sir, what part do
you propose to show me?"
EXPLORING THE SLUMS.
About 16 years ago as a minister of
religion I felt I had a divine commission
to explore the iniquities of our cities. I
did not ask counsel of my session or my
presbytery or of the newspapers, but
asking the companionship of three
prominent police officials and two of the
elders of my church I unrolled my com?
mission, and it said: "Son of man, dig
into the wall. And when I had digged
into the wall behold a door, and he said
go in and see the wicked abominations
that are done here And I went in and
saw and behold 1" Brought up in the
country and surrounded by much pa?
rental care, I had not until that time seen
the haunts of iniquity. By the grace of
God defended, I had never sowed my
"wild oats."
I had somehow been able to tell from
various sources something about the in?
iquities of the great cities and to preach
against them, but I saw in the destruc?
tion of a great multitude of the people
that there must be an infatuation and a
temptation that had never been spoken
about, andi said, "I will explore." I
saw thousands of men going down, and
if there had been a spiritual percussion
answering to the physical percussion
the whole air would have been full of
the rumble and roar and crack and thun?
der of the demolition, and this moment,
if we should pause in our service, we
should hear the crash, crash! Just as in
the sickly season you sometimes hear
the bell at the gate of the cemetery
ringing almost incessantly, so I found
that the bell at the gate of the cemetery
where ruined souls are buried was
ing by day and tolling by night I s
"I will explore"
I went as a physician goes into a f
lazareto to see what practical and us
information I might get. That woul
\ foolish doctor who would stand out
the door of an invalid writing a L
prescription. When the lecturer i
medical college is done with his lect
he takes the students into the dissed
room, and he shows them the realitj
went and saw and came forth to my ;
pit to report a plague and to tell ]
sin dissects the body and dissects
mind and dissects the soul. "Oh, "
you, "are you not afraid that in coi
quence of such exploration of the ini(
ties of the city other persons might m
exploration and do themselves daniag
I reply: "If in company with the c<
missioner of police, and the captaii
police, and the iiispector of police, ;
the company of two Christian gen
men, and not with the spirit of curios:
but that yon may see sin in order
better to combat; it, then, in the nam
the eternal God, go? But if not tl
stay away. "
Wellington, standing in the battle
Waterloo when the bullets were buzz
around his head, saw a civilian on
field. He said to him: "Sir, what
you doing here? Be off !" "Why,"
plied the civilian, * 'there ?3 no moro d
ger here for me than there is for yoi
Then Wellington flushed up and sa
"God and my country demand that I
here, hut you have no errand here. "
Now I, as an officer in the army
Jesus Christ went on that explorati
and on to that battlefield. If you tx
a like commission, go. If not, stay aw:
But you say, "Don't you think tl
somehow the description of those p?a?
induces people to go and see for the:
selves?" I answer yes, just as much
the description of yellow fever in soi
scourged ci ty would induce people to
down there and get the pestilence. *
But I may be addressing some stra

I may pointedly yet kindly address hil

BEFORE PITFALLS.
In our last dreadful war the Federa]
and the Confederates were encamped o
opposite sides of the Rappahannock, an
one morning the brass band of the nerti
ern troops played the national air, an
all the northern troops cheered an
cheered. Then on the opposite side c
the Bappahannock the brass band of th
Confederates played "My Maryland'

"Home, Sweet Home" and the bani

But suppose you are standing on a
crag of the mountain and on the edge

someone either in joke or hate-shall

would do so dastardly a deed? Why, this

population rush out toward the country
with baskets and bundles, and toward
night they come back fagged out, cross

Oh, strangers, welcome to the great
city! May you find Christ here, and not

A good many years ago Edward Stan?
ley, the English commander, with his
regiment, took a fort. The fort was
manned by some 300 Spaniards. Ed?
ward Stanley came close up to the fort,
leading his men, when a Spaniard
thrust at him with a spear, intending to
destroy his life, but Stanley caught hold
of the spear, and the Spaniard in at?
tempting to jerk the spear away from
Stanley lifted him np into the battle?
ments. No sooner had Stanley taken his
position on the battlements than he
swung his sword, and his whole regi?
ment leaped after him, and the fort was
taken. So it maybe with you, O stran?
ger. The city influences which have de?
stroyed so many and dashed them down
forever shall be the means of liftiug you
np into the tower of God's mercy and
strength, your soul more than conqueror
through the grace of him who has
promised an especial benediction to
those who shall treat you well, saying,
"I was a stranger, and ye took me in. "
