3 4 5HAVE MORE LIGHT. What Dr. 'Talmage Has to Say Abont Melancholy Music, Peeksniffing Ministers and Canting Hypocrites, BBOOKLYN, N. Y., Oct. 21—This morning at the Tabernacle the Kev.T. De Witt Tal mage, D. D., gave a running commentary on the 20th chapter of Revelation concerning the chaining of the Old Dragon. The con gregation joined in singing the familiar hymn of Paul Gerhart, beginning: "Give to the wind thy fears, Hope and be undismayed." Dr. Talmage's sermon was on "Seven in he Bible," and his text, Genesis, ch. 2 2 2. '-God Blessed the Seventh Day." Th preacher said: The mathematics of the Bible is noticeable "the geometry and the arithmt-tic the square Ezekiel the circle spoken of in Isaiah the 'carve alluded to in Job the rule of fractions jnentioaed in Daniel the rule of loss and gain in Mark where Christ asks the people *o cipher out by at rule what would "profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul." But there is one mathematical figure at is crown. «d above all others in the Bible. I is the numeral seven, which the Arabians got from India and all following ages have taken from •the Arabians. It stands between the figure •aix and the figure eight. In the Bible all the other numerals bow to it. Over 300 times is it mentioned in the Scriptures, either alone or compounded with other words. In Genesis the week is rounded into seven days, and I nse my text because there this numerical is for the first introduced in a journey which halts not until in the close of the Book of Sevelation its monument is built into the ^rall of heaven in crysohte which the strat a of piecious stones is the seventh. I the Bible we find at Jacob had -to serve seven years to get Rachel, but she was worth it and foretell ing the years of prosperity and famine in Phoraoh's time the seven fat oxen were eaten up of the seven lean oxen and wisdom is said to be builb on seven pillars and the ark was left with the Philistines seven years ^and INaaman for the cure of his leprosy plunged the Jordan seven times the dead child, when Ehsh.i breathed into his mouth, fii^fialled its arrival back into consciousness by sneezing seven times to the house that JEzekieJ saw in his vision there were seven eteps the walls of Jericho before they fell were compassed seven days, Zachariah describes a stone with seven eyes to cleanse a lepi ous house the door must be sprinkled with pigeon's blood seven times, in Canaan were overthrown Beven nations, on one occa sion Christ cast out seven devilb on a moun tain he fed a multitude of people with seven loaves, the hagments left filling seven bas kets, ai'd the closing passages of the Bible I are magnificent and overwhelming with the i!down Imagery made up of seven churches, seven stars, beven candlesticks, seven seals, seven angels, and seven heads, and seven crowns, and seven horns, and seven spirits, and seven vialb, and seven plagues, and seven thunders. Yea, this numeral seven seems a favorite 'With the Divine mind, outside as well as in V^erh-e' Bibio, foraie theieno seven pris matic colors? And when God with the rain bow would never have another deluge, he wrote it on the scroll of the ink of *even colors. He grouped into the Pleiades Beven stars. Rome, the capital ol the world, sat on seven hills When God would make 'th most intelligent thing on earth, the human countenance, he fashions it with seven features—the two ears, the twofses,. the two nostrils and the mouth. Yea, oui body lasts only seven years, andwe gradually shed it for another body after an other be\en y^ars, and so on, for we are, as to our bodies, septennial animals. So the numeral seven ranges through nature and through levelation. It is the number of per- fection, and so I use it while I speak ol the seven candlesticks, the se\en stais, the seven «als and the seven thunders, The --even golden candlesticks were and are .ic^ uuiches Mark you, the churches never c«n be candles. They are only candlesticks. They aie not the light A room in the night might have in it five hundi ed candlesticks, and yet you could not see your hand before youi face. The only use of a candlestick, and the only use of a chuich. is to bold up the light. You see it is a dark world, the ninht of sm, the night of trouble, the mgut of buperstition, the night of prosecu tion, the night of poverty, the night of sick ness, ihe night of death, aye about oO nights have inteilocked their shadows The whole race goes stumbling over prostrated hopes fall/m fortunes, and empty flour barrels, and ^T^frolated cradles, and death beds. Oh, how ML ucn we" have use for all the seven candle jjrieks, with lights blazing from the top of tch one of them! The light of Pardon for til sin! Light of comfort for all trouble! Light of encouragempnt for all despondency! Light of eternal riches for all poverty' Light of rescue for all persecution! Light of reunion for all the bereft! Light of heaven for all the dying! And this light is Christ, who is the Light at shall yet irradiate the hemispheres. But, mark you, when I say elrurchefe ore not candles, but candlesticks, I e^st no slur on candlesticks. I believe in a candlesticks. The candlesticks that 'God oidored for the ancient tabernacle were (pomething exquisite. They weie a dream of beauty carved out of loveliness They were jtnade of hammered gold, stood in a foot of .gold fii»d had six branches of gold blooming all along six lilies of gold each, and lips of ^Q-d from which the candles lifted their iio'.y fire. And the best houses in any city ought to be the churches—the beet budt, the best ventilated, the best swept, the best windowed and the best «handeliered. Log cabins may do in neigh "borhoods where most of the people live in log cabins but there be palatial churches regions where many of the people live in palaces. Do not have a better place for yourself than for your Lord and King. Do you live in a parlor and pub your Christ in a .kitchen These seven candlesticks of which I „-M»eak were not made out of pewter or iron t&ey were golden candlesticks, and gold is s-not only a valuable but bright metal. Have „. everything about your church bright—your ttshers with smiling faces, your music jubil .arttv your hand-shaking cordial, your entire service attractive. Many people feel at in church they must look dull in order to be reverential, and many whose faces in other kinds of assemblage rshow all the different phases of emo tion have in church no more expression than ih back wheel of a hearse. Brighten up and 'be responsive. If you feel like weeping, weep. If you feel like smiling, smile. If you feel in -dignant at some wrong asBailed from the pulpit, frown. Do not leave your natural ness and resiliency home because it is Sunday morning. If, as officers of a church, you meet people at the church door with a black look end have the music black, and the min ister black preach a black sermon, and from invocation to benediction have the im pression black, few will come, and those who do come will wish they had not come at all. "Golden candlesticks' Scour up the six lil lies on each branch and know at the more 'lovely and bright they are, the more fit they a re to hold the light. But a Christless church lis a damage to the world rather than a good. sCromwell stabled his cavalry horses in St. Paul's Cathedral, and many now use the church as a place in which to stable their vanities and worldhness. A worldly church is a candlestick without the candle, and it had its prototype in St. Sophia, in Constan tinople, built to the glory of God by Con etantine, but transformed to base uses by Mohammed the Second. Built out of colored marble a cupalo with 25 windows soaring to the height of 180 feet the ceiling one- great bewilderment of mosaic galleries supported by eight columns of porphyry and 67 col umns of green jasper nine bronze doors with alto relievo work fascinating to theeyeof any artist, vases and vestments encrusted with all manner of precious stones. Fou walls on fire with indescribable splendor. Though labor was cheap the building cost $1,500, 000. Ecclesiastical structure almost supernatural in pomp and majesty. Bu Mohammedanism tore down from the walls of at building all the saiutlv and Christly images, and high up in the dome the figure of the cross was rubbed out at the crescent of the barbarous Turk might be sub stituted. A great church but no Christ! A gorgeous candlestick but no candle! Ten thousand such churches would not give the world as much light as one home-made tal law candle by which last night some grand mother in the eighties put on her spectacles and read the Psalms of David in large type. Up with the churches, by all means! Hun dreds of them, thousands of them, and the more the better. But let each one be a blaze of heavenly light making the world brighter and brighter till the last shadow has disap peared, and the last of the suffering children of God shall have reached the land where they have no need of candlestick or "of can dle, neither light of the sun, for the Lord God giveth them light and they shall reign forever and ever." Turn now in your Bible to the seven stars. We are distinctly told at they are the min isters of religion. Some of them are large stars.some of them small stars, some of them sweep a widecircuit and some of them a small circuit, but so far as they are eenuine they get their light from the central sun around whom they make revolution. Let each one keep his own sphere Th solar system would soon be wrecked if the stars, instead of keeping their own orbit, should go to hunting down other stars. Ministers of re ligion should never clash. But in all the centuries of the Christian church some of these stars have beep hunting an Edward Irving or a Horace Bushnell or an Albert Barnes and the stars that were in pursuit of the other stars lost their own orbit, and some of them could never again find it. Alas! for the heresy hunters! The best way to destroy error is to preach the truth. The best way to scatter darkness is to strike a light. There is in immensity room enough for all the stars, and in the church room enough for all the ministers. The min isters who give up righteousness and the truth will get punishment enough, for they are '"the wandering stais for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness foiever." But I should like as a minister when I am dyiDg to be able truthfully to say what a captain of the English army fallen at the head of his column and dying on the Egyptian battle field said to Gen. Wolesley, who came to con dole with him: "I led them straight didn't I lead them straight, general?" God has put us ministers as captains in this battlefield of truth against error. Great at last will be our chagrin if we fafl leading the people the wrong way but great will be our gladness if when the battle is over we can hand our sword back to our great Commander, saying: "Lord Jesus! We led the people straight, didn't we lead them straight?" Those min isters who go off at a tangent and preach some other gospels are not stars but co mets, and they flash across the heavens a little while and make people stare, and throw down a few meteoric stones,and then go out of sight if not out of existence. Oh, brethren in the ministry, let us remember at God calls us stars, and our business is to shine and to keep our own sphere, and then when we get done trying to light up the darkness of this world we will wheel into higher spheres, and in us shall be fulfilled the prom ise, "They at turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars forever and ever." Ah' the ministers are not all Pecksniffs and canting hypocrites, as some would have you think! Forgive me if, having in your pres ence at other times glorified the medical pro fession and the legal profession and the liter ary profession—I glorify my own I have seen them in their homes and heard them in their pulpits, and a grander array of men never breathed, and the Bible figure is not strained when it calls them stars and whole constellations of glorious ministers have already taken their places on high where they shine even brighter than they shone on earth Edward N. Kirk of the Con gregational church. Stephen H. Tyng, of the Episcopal church Matthew Simpson, of the Methodist church John Dow ling, of the Baptist church Samuel K. Talmage, of the Presbyterian church Dr. DeWitt, of the Re formed church John chambers, of the Inde pendent church, and there I stop, for it so happens that I have mentioned the seven stais of the seven churches, I pass on to another mighty Bible seven, and they are the seven seals. St. John in a vision saw a scroll with seven seals, and he heard an angel cry: "Who is worthy to loose the seals thereof?" Take eight or ten sheets of foolscap paper, paste them together and roll them into a scroll, and have the scroll at seven different places sealed with sealing wax You unroll the scroll till you comet one of these seals, and than you can go no further until you break that seal, then you go on until all the seven seals are broken, and the contents of the entire scroll ts revealed. Now at scroll with seven seals held by the angel was the prophecy of what was to come on the earth it meant at the knowledge of the future was with God, and no man and no angel was worthy to open it but the Bible says Christ opened it and broke all the seven seals. He broke the first seal and unrolled the scroll, and there was a paint ing of a white horse, and at meant pros perity and triumph for the Roman empire, and so it really came to pass at for 90ling years virtu ousEmperors succeeded each other, Nerva, Trajan and Antoninus. Christ a vision broke the second seal and unrolled again and there was a painting of a red horse, and that meant bloodshed, and so it really came to pass, and the next 90 years were red with assassination and wars. Then Christ broke the third seal and unrolled it, and there was a painting of a black horse, which in all literature means famine, oppression and taxation and so it really came to pass. Christ went on un til he broke all the seven seals and opened all the scroll. Well, the future of all of us is a sealed scroll, and I am glad at no one but Christ can open it. Do not let us join that class of Christians in our day who are trying to break the seven seals of the future. They are trying to peep into things they have no business with. They try to fortell what is going to come to them and what is going to come on the earth. They know nothing about it. Christ is the only one who can break the seal of the future. Bible prophecy was not written to help UB to tell things in the future, but to have UB, when the things actually do come to pass, compare them with prophecy, and so learn God's fore-knowledge, and the inspiration of the Scriptures. But you go into the Btudy of the prophecies in order to find out what is going to happen a year from now or 20 years from now, or 1,000 years from now, and I will make a prophecy of my own and at is at you will have your brain addled, if you do not positively get into a pub lic or private insane asylum, where the great est of expounders and preachers of prophecy ended his life a few years since, and where you may regale the visitors of the institution with incoherent mumblings over something from Revelations about the leopard at means Greece, and the bear which means Medo-Persia and the image with the great toes What a mental wreck did the persist ent attempt to forestall events make of at miracle of preachers, Edward Irving of Lon don. I would take several mad-houses to hold the demented victims of the improper use of the prophecies of Daniel and Revela tions. Wbat! ure not those books to be studied? Yes. No part of the Bible is more important. Neither is there any more im portan shelf in at apothecary's store than the shelf on which are the belladonna and the morphine, but be more careful in using them than in the use of peppermint and ginger. Keep your hands off of the seven seals. Christ will break them soon enough. Don't go to some necromancer or spiritualist or soothsayer fortune-teller to find out what is going to happen to yourself, or your family, or your friends. Wait till Christ breaks the seal find out whether in your own personal life or the life of the nation or the life of the world it is go ing to be the white horse prosperity or the red horse of war or the black horse of famine. You will soon enough see him paw and hear him neigh. Take care of the present and the future will takecare of itself. If a man live 70 years his biography is on a scroll having at least seven seals and let him not during tht first 10 years of his life try to look into th« twenties, nor the twenties into the thirties nor the thirties into the forties, nor the for ties into the fifties, nor the fifties into the sixties, not the sixties into the seventies. From the way the years have got the habit of racing along. I guess you will not have to wait a great while before all the seals of the future are broken. I would not give 2 cents to know how long I am going to live, or in what day of what year the world is going to be demolished. I would rather give $1,000 not to know. Suppose some one could break the next seal in th* scroll of your personal history, and should tell you at on the 4th of July, 1890. you were to die, the summer after the next how much would you be good for between this and that? I would from now until then be a prolonged funeral. You would be counting the months and the days, and your family and friends would be counting them and next 4th of July you would rub your hands together and whine—"One year from today I am to go. Dear me! I wish no one had told me so long before. 1 wish that necromancer had not broken the seal of the future." And meeting some undertaker you would say: I hope you will keep yourself free from an engagement the 4th of July, 1890. That day you will be needed at my house. To save time you might as well take my measure now. 5 feet, 11 inches." I am glad Christ dropped a thick veil over the hour of our demise and the hour of the world's destruction when he said: "Of that day a hour knoweth no man no, not the ansels, but my Father only." Keep your hands off the seven seals. There is another mighty seven of the Bible, viz.. the seven thunders. What those thun ders mean we are not told, and there has been much guessing about them but they are to come, we are told, before the end of all things, and the world cannot get along with out them. Thunder is the the speech of lightning Theie are evils in our world which must be thundered down, and which will re quire at least seven volleys to prostrate them. We are all doing nice, delicate, soft handed work in churches and reformatory institutions against the evils of the world, and much of it amounts to a teaspoon dip ping out the Atlantic ocean, or a clam shell digging away at a mountain, or a tack ham mer smiting the Gibralter. What is needed is thunderbolts, and at least seven of them. There is the long line of fraudulent commer cial establishments, every stone in the founda tion, and every brick in the wall, and every nail in the rafter made out of dishonesty skeletons of poorly paid sewing girls' arms in every beam of at establishment human nerves worked into every figure of at embroidery blood in the deep dye of at proffered upholstery, billions of dollars of accumulated fraud entrenched in massive storehouses and stock companies, manipulated by unscrupulous men until the monoply is defiant of all earth and all heaven. How shall the evil be overcome? By treatise on the maxim: Honesty is the best policy? Or by soft repitition of the gold en rule at we must "do to others as we would have them do to us?" No, it will not be done at way. What is needed and what will come is the sevpn thunders. There is drunkenness backed up by a capital mightier than in any other business. In toxicating liquors enough this country to float a navy. Good gram to the amount of 57,950,000 annually destroyed to make the deadly liquid. Breweries, distilleries, gin shops, rum palaces, liquor associations, our nation spending annually $740,000,000 for rum, resulting in bankruptcy, disease, pauperism, filth, assassination, death, illim itable woe. What will stop them? High license? No. Prohibition laws? No. Churches? No. Moral suasion? No. Thunder bolts will do it nothing else will. Seven thunders. Yonder are intrenched infidelity and atheism with their magazines of literature scoffing at our Christianity their hoe print ing presses busy day and night. There are their blaspheming apostles, Voltaries of the present as well as the past, reinforced by all the powers of darkness from highests demon to lowest imp. What will extirpate those monsters of infidelity and atheism? John Brown's shorter catechism about "Who made you?" or Westminster catechism about "Wha is the chief end of man? No, thun derbolts! The seven thunders! For the impurities of the world empalaced as well as collared, epaulletted as well as ragged, enthroned as well as ditched for cor rupt legislation which at times makes our state and national capitals a hemispheric stench for superstitions at keep whole na tions in squalor, century after century, their Juggernauts crushing, their knives lacerat ing, their waters drowning, their funeral pyres burning the seven thunders! Oh, men and women, disheartened at the bad way things often go. hear you not a rumbling down the sky of heavy artillery, cominjr in on one side, the seven thunders of the Almighty? Don't let us 'try to wield them ourselves they are too heavy and too fiery for us to handle but God can and God will and when all mercy has failed and all milder measure exhausted, then judgment will begin. Thunderbolts! Depend upon it, at what is not done under the flash of the seven candlesticks will be done by the tramp of the seven thunders. But I leave this imperial and multipotent numpral seven where the Bible leaves it. im bedded in the finest wall at was ever built, or ever will be constructed, the wall of heav en. I is the seventh strat a of precious stones at make up at wall. After nam ing six of the precious stones in at wall, the Bible cries out—"the seventh chrysolite!" The chrysolite is an exquisite green, and in at seventh layer of the heavenly wall shall be preserved forever the domi nan color of the earth we once in habited. I have sometimes been saddened at the thought at this world, according to science and revelation, is to be blotted out of existence, lor it is such a beautiful world. But here in this layer of the heavenly wall, where the numeral seven iB to be embedded, this strat a of green is to be photographed, and embalmed and perpetuated, the color of the grass that covers the earth, the color of the foliage at fills the foreet, the color of the sea. One glance at that green chrysolite, a million years after this planet has been ex tinguished, will bring to mind just how it looked in summer and spring, and we will say to those who were born blind on earth, and never saw at all in this world, after they have obtained full eyesight in heaven "If you would know how the earth appeared in June and August, look at at seventh layer of the heavenly wall, the green of the chrysolite." And while we stand there and talk spirit with spirit, at old color of the earth which had more sway than all the other colors put together, will bring back to us our earthly experiences, and noticing that this green chrysolite is the seventh layer o! crystalized magnificence we may bethink our Belves of the domination of at numeral seven over all other numerals, and thank God at in the dark earth we left behind us we so long enjoyed the light of seven golden candlesticks, and were all of us permitted to shine among the seven stars of more or lest magnitude, and at all the seven seals ol the mysterious future have been broken wide open for us by a loving Christ, and at the seven thunders, having done their work, have ceased reverberation,- and at the numeral seven, which did such tremendous work in the history of nations on earth, has been given such a high place in at Niagara of colors, the wall of heaven, "the, first foundation of which is jasper, the second sap phire, the third a chalcedony, the fourth an euiercJd, the fifth sardonyx, the sixth sardius, the seventh chrysolite." "When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls And pearly gates behold Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold?" DAKOTA JOTTINGS.' "*%& Horchinson county has prdclucea nearly half a million bushels of wheat this year. Theschaol board at Chamberlain has removed about twenty-five scholars from the city school because they are not of a proper school age. The Excelsior mill books at Yank ton show that its purchases of this year's crop of wheat average sixty one pounds to the measured bushel. The Press and Dakotaian claims that there is a wild rumor afloat that "Watertown comes to Yankton with a bid of |100,000 in property for the Methodist university. The scissors grinder has made Iris annual appearance on the streets of Spencer. It is noticed by the citizens that he has not changed any during the past year—no, not even his shirt. Ex-Postmaster IL N. McNamarar of Minot, on hearing before Justice Josiah B. Eourke on the charge oi embezzlement of United States funds, was held to answer in $3,000, Many improvements and repairs are being made on the eapitol in Bis marck and it is expected that the building will be in good condition when the legislators arrive. A farmer in Barnes county, while mowing, caught a skunk inhis sickle. The machine was backed up to get rid of the obstruction and distance only lent enchantment to the spot. The Argus-Leader throws out this pointer: "The next thing you will hear drop in Sioux Falls will be a $50,000 or $75,000 woolen mill but never mind for particulars until the deal is closed out." Ten saloonkeepers were arrested at Grand Forks for contempt of court in violating the injunction against selling liquor. Nine gave bonds to appear before Judge McConnell. Jack Jarvis was sent to jail. The council at Scotland is prepar ing to build a city hall. The first story is designed to be used by the fire department and the second story for the city offices and council-rooms. It is estimated that the building will cost quite if not more than $2,000. A short time ago a well in the southern part of Sioux Falls that had been used by all the lamilies in the neighborhood was cleaned. At the bottom of the well were found two snakes, four toads, old boots, tin pans and stovepipe. In connection with other business transacted by the M. E. conference at Jamestown resolutions condemn ing publication of lottery advertise ments and pledging the conference to endeavor to increase the circula tion of papers refusing to publish such advertisements were adopted. Sprague, the incurable insane pa tient who was returned to Lawrence county from the Yankton asylum, was sent to the county hospital at Gayville. He is not only insane but a crank. For several days he has not eaten a mouthful of food, and de clares he never will so long as he is in Dakota territory. The Carthage news tells the follow ing: "A lady living not more than five miles from Carthage one day, besides doing her housework and the chores at the stable, her husband being away that day helping a neigh bor, dug twenty bushels of potatoes. That woman's husband thinks Da kota good enough for him." The city of Dead wood is full of de tectives,hatched out by the attempted train robbery. They stand around on every street corner and point out the mistakes that have been made. Every one of them knew that the cow would eat the grindstone, and that if they had been employed, or even consulted, the last one of the gang would have been captured or killed. Two farmers named Jaster and Averill, living near Grafton, got into a dispute over a dog belonging to Averill which had been killed by Jaster's dog. Averill demanded pay ment for his dog, =md upon being re fused he seized a hoe and knocked Jaster down. Mrs. Jaster rushed to his assistance and received serious cuts from the hoe in the hands of Averill. The Mormons confined in the Uni ted States wing of the penitentiary at Sioux Falls for practicing polyg amy are very devout Christians. They never eat a meal without say ing grace and pray fervently three times a day. At night before retiring when they offer prayers they pray for all the officials of the United States, from President Cleveland to Warden Fulenweider, who is their keeper. They seem to be contented and do not look upon themselves as prisoners, but as martyrs. The latest sharp practice to secure a fee was by a well-known and prom^ inent attorney in Deadwood who communicated the information that by reporting to the clerk of the court daily their presence when a case on trial had been adjourned for a cer tain number of days petit jurymen could collect their per diem during the time of adjournment. For this valuable information he sought to levy and collect an assessment of $1 from each juryman. "SStrcron ©o.lBJcOTk. C.H.GHADBOUKK, President! O S a Casbll* Cor. lion, and Centre Sirs.
