V ON THE CITY STREETS The Contrasts of Splendor and Woe Seen Upon Them. Dr. TmlKca Sara Thr Ars Ilallks th Dcmoeraiia Gospel of Christ Their Shams, Pretensions and Teaaptatlens. (Washington, March 11 Copyright, 1M-) la this discourse Dr. Talmage, who las lived the most ot his life in cities, draws practical lesson from his own observation; text, proverb" 1:20: "Wisdom crieth without. She uttereth ler voice In tie street." We are all ready to listen to the " Toices of nature the voice's ol the mountain, th,e voices of the tea, the voices of tho atorm, the voices of the tar. As in some of the cathedrals in Europe there is an organ at either end . of the building, and the one instrument responds musically to the other, so In the great cathedral of nature; day re sponds to day, and night to night, and flower: to flower, and star to star In the great harmonies of the universe. The springtime is an evangelist in bloe oms preaching of God's love, and the winter is a prophet white-bearded denouncing woe against ourslntx We re all ready to listen to the voices of nature. But how few of us learn any' thing from the voices of the noisy and dusty street. You go to your meeii' anisrn, and to your work, and to your merchandise, and you come back again nd often with how different a heart you pass through the streets. Are there no things for ue to learn from these pavements over which we pass? Are there no tufts of truth growing up between these cobblestones, beaten with the feet of toil and pain and pleas ure, the slow tread of old age and the quick step of childhood 1 Aye, there are great harvest to be reaped, and now I thrust in the sickle because the harvest is ripe. "Wisdom crieth with out. She uttereth her voice in the treets." In the first place, theetreet impresses me with the fact that this life is a scene of toil and struggle. By ten o'clock every day the city is jarring with wheels and shuffling with feet and humming with voices a.nd covered with the breath of smokestacks and a-rush with trafficker. Once in awhile you find a man going along with folded arms and with leisurely step, as though . he had nothing to do, but, for the most part, as you find men going down these streets on the way to business, there is anxiety on their faces, as though they had some errand which must be executed at the first possible moment. You are jostled by those who have bar gains to make and note to sell. Up . this ladder with a hod of bricks, out of this bank with a roll ot bills, on this dray with a load of goods, digging '. cellar, or shingling a roof, or 6boeing a horse, or building a wall, or mending a watch, or binding a book. Industry, with her thousand arms and thousand eyes and. thousand feet, goes on singing her song of work, work, work, while the mills, drum it and the steam : whistles fife it. All this is not because men love to toil. Some one remarked: "Every man is as lazy as he can afford to be." But it is because necessity with stern brow and with uplifted whip stands over you, ready whenever you relax your toil to make your shoulders Btintr with the lash. Can it be that passing up and down these streets on your way to work and business you do sot learn anything of the world's toil and anxiety and strug gle? Oh. how many drooping hearts. how many eyes' on the watch, how many miles traveled, how many bur dens carried, how many losses suf fered, how many battles fought, how many victories gained, how many ex asperations endured what losscs.what hunger, what wretchedness, what pat !or, what disease, what agony, what de spair! Sometimes I have stopped at the corner of the street as the muHi rudes went hither and yon, and it has seeimed to be a great pantomime, nnd as I looked upon it my heart broke. This "Treat tide ot human life that goes down the street is a rapid tossed and turned aside and dashed ahead ami driven brick beautiful in its confusion and confused in It beauty. In thecar- peted aisler of the forest, in the. woods from which the eternal shadow isnever lifted, on the short of the sea over whose iron coast tosses the tangled foam sprinkling the cracked cliffs with a baptism of whirlwind and tempest, is the best place to study God, but in the rushing, swarming, raving street is the best place to study man. Going down to your place of business and coming home again I charge you to lookabout eethesesignsof pover ty, of wretchedness, of hunger, of sin of bereavement and as you go through the streets and come back through the streets, gather up in the arms of your prayer all the sorrow, all the losses, all the sufferings, all the be reavements of those whom you pass ' and present them in prayer before an all sympathetic God. Id the great day of eternity there will be thousands of persons with whom you la this world never exchanged one word who will . rise up end call you blessed, and there will be a thousand fingers pointed at you in Heaven, saying: "That. Is the man, that is the woman, who helped me when 1 was hungry and sick and wandering and lost and heartbroken That is the man, that ls the woman And the blessing will come down upon you as Christ shall say: "I was hun gry, and ye fed me; I was naked, and . yt clothed me; I was sick and in pris on, and ye visited me. Inasmuch asy. did it to these poor waifs of the street ye did it to me." Again, the street impresses me with the fact that all classes and conditions of society must commingle. We some. times culture a wicked exclusiveness. Intellect despises Ignorance. Refine merit will have nothing to do with boorishness. Gloves hate the sunburned band, and the high forehead despises tire flat head, and the trim hedgerow will have nothing to do with the wild copsewood, and Athens hates Naz areth. Thto ought not so to be. To astronomer must come down from his atarry revelry and help us in our navi (ration. The surgeon must come away from his study of the human organ ism and set our broken bone. The ehemiwl must come away from hi&lab- oratory, where he has been studying naljKi and synthesis and hf Ip us to niideralnnrt the nature of the soils: compelled to meet on the street, The glittering coach wheel clashes against the scavenger's cart. Fine robes run against the peddler's pack. Robust health meet wan sickness. Honesty confronts fraud. Every class of people meets every other class. Impudeoce and modesty, pride and humility, puri ty and beastliness, frankness and hypocrisy, meeting on the same block. in the same street, in the same city. Oh, that i what Solomon meant when he said: "The rich and the poor meet together. The Lord Is the Maker of them all." I like this democratic principle of the gospel of Jesus Christ which recog nizes the fact that we stand before God on one and the same platform. Do not take on any airs, whatever position you have gained in society; you are noth ing but man, born of the same parent. regenerated by the same Spirit, cleansed in the same blood, to He down In the same dust, to get up in'the same resurrection. It is high time that we all acknowledge not only the Father hood of God, but the brotherhood of man. . Again, the street impresses me with the fact that It Is a. very hard thing for man to keep his heart right and to get to Heaven.. Infinite . temptations spring upon us from these places of public concourse. Amid such afflu ence, how much temptation to covet ousnesa and to be discontented with our humble lot! Amid so many oppor tunities for overreaching, what temp tation to extortion! Amid so rmirti display, what temptation to vanity! Amid so many saloons of strong drink. what allurement to dissipation! In the maelstrom'snnd bell gates of the street, how many make quick and; eternal shipwreck! If , a man-of-war comes back from a battle and is towed into the navy yard, we go down to look at the splintered spars and count the bul let holes and look with patriotic ad miration on the flag that floated in vic tory from the masthead. But that man is more of a curiosity who has gone through 30 years of the sharpshooting of business life and yet sails on, victor over the temptations of the street. Oh, how many have gone down under the pressure, .leaving not so much as the patch of canvas to tell where they perished! They never had any peace. Their dishonesties kept tolling in their ears. If I had an ax and could split open the beams of that fine house, per haps I would find in the very heart of It a skeleton. In his very best wine there is a smack of poor man's sweat. Oh, is it strange that when a man has devoured Widows' houses he is dis turbed with indigestion? All the forces of nature are against him. The floods are ready to drown him and the earth quake to swallow him and the flresto consume him and the lightnings to smite him. But the children of God are on every street, and in the day when the crowns of Heaven are distrib uted some of the brightest of them will be given to those men who were faith ful to God and faithful to the souls of others amid the marts of business, proving themselves the heroes of the street. . Mighty were their temptations, mighty was their deliverance, and mighty shall be their triumph. Again, the street impresses me with the fact that life is full of pretension and sham. What subterfuge, what double dealing, what two-facedness! Do all people'who wish you good morn ing really hope for yoo a happy day? Do all people who shake hands love each other? Axe all those . anxious about your health who inquire con cerning it? Do all want.toseeyou who ask you to call? Does all the world know half as much as it pretends to know? Is there not many a wretched stock of goods with a brilliant show window? Passing up and down the streets to vour business and your work, are you not impressed with the fact that society is hollow and that there are subterfuges and pretensions? Oh, how many there are who swagger and strut and how few people who are natural and walk! While fops simper and fools chuckle and simpletons gig' gle, how few people are natural and laugh I The courtesan and the liber tine go down the street in beautiful apparel, while within the heart there are volcanoes of passion consuming their life away. I say these things not to create in you incredulity or mi son thropy, nor do I forget there are thou. sands of people a great deal better than they seem. but. I do not. think any man is prepared for the conflict of this life until he knows this particular peril Ehud comes pretending to pay his tax to King Eplon, and while be stands In front of the king stabs him through with a dagger until the haft went in after the blade. Judas Iscariot kissed Christ Again, the street Impresses me with the fact that it is a great field for Christian charity. There are hunger and suffering and want. and wretched nesa In the country, bnt these evils chiefly congregate in our great cities, On. every street crime prowls and drunkenness, , staggers , and shame winks and pauperism thrusts out its hand asking for alms. Here want is most squalid-and hunger is most lean. A Christian man going along a street in New York saw a poor lad, ar.d he stooped and said: "My boy, do you know how to read and write?" The boy made no answer. The man asked the question twice and thrice: "Can you read and write?" add then the boy answered with a tear plashing on the back of his hand. He said, in defi ance: "So, sir; I can't read nor write neither. God, sir, don't want me to read and write. Didn't He take away father so long ago I never remember to have seen bim, and haven't I had to go along the streets to get something to fetch home to eat for the folks, and didn't I, as soon as I could carry basket, have to go out and pick upcin ders and never have no schooling, sir? God don't want me to read, ir. Ican't read nor write neither." Oh, these poor wanderers! They have no chance, Born in degradation, as they get up from their hands and knees to walk, they take their first step on the road to despair. Let ns go forth in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to rescue them. Let us ministers not be afraid of soiling our black clothes while we go down on that mission. While we are tying an elaborate knot in our cravat or while we are in the study rounding pff some period rhetorically we might be saving a soul from death and hiding a multitude of sins. Oh Christian laymen, go out on this work If you re not willing to go forth your self, then give of your means, and if of the way and hide yourself In the dens and caves of the earth, lest when Christ's chariot comes along the horses' hoofs trample you into the mire. Beware lest the thousands of the destitute of your city, in the last great day, rise up and curse your stu pidity and your neglect. Down to work! Lift them up! One cold winter's day, as a Christian man was going along the Battery in New York, he saw a little girl seated at the gate, shivering In the coid. He said to heir: "My child, what do you sit there for this cold day?" "Oh," she re replied, "I am waiting I am waiting for somebody to come and take care of me." "Why," said the. man, "what makes you think anybody will come and take care of you?" "Oh," she said, "my mother died last week, and I was crying very much, and she said:' 'Don's cry, dear. Though I am gone and your father Is gone, the Lord will send some body to take care of you.' My mother never told a lie. She said some one would come and takeoare of me, and I am waiting for them to come." Oh, yes, they are wuUing for you. Men who have money, men Who have influence, men of churches, men of great hearts, gather them in, gather them in. It is not the will of your Heavenly Father thut one of these little ones should perish. Lastly, the street impresses me with the fact thut all the people are looking forward. I see expectancy written on almost every face I meet. Where you find a thousaud people walking straight on, you only find one man stopping and looking back. The fact is, God made us all to look ahead, because we are im mortal. In this tramp of the multitude on the street I hear the trump of a gTeat host marching and marching for eternity. Beyond the office, the store. the shop, the street, there is a world, populous and tremendous. Through God's grace, may you reach that blecsed place. A great throng . fills those boulevards, and the streets are a-rush with the chariotsof conquerors. The iiiuaimumif gu up ana uown, out uiey never weep and they neveT toil. A river flows through the city, with rounded and luxurious banks, and the trees of life, laden with everlasting fruitage, bend their branches into the crystal. No plumed hearse rattles over that pavement, for they are never sick. With immortal health glowing in every vein. they knownot how to die. Those towers of strength, those palaces of beauty, gleam In the light of a sun that never sets. Oh, Heaven, beautiful Heaven! Heaven, where our friends are! They take no census in that city, for it is in habited by "a multitude which no man can number." Iiank above rank. Host above host. Gallery above gallery sweepingall around the heavens. Thou sands of thousands, millions of mil lions. Blessed are they who enter in through' the gate into that city. Oh, start for it to-day! Through the blood of the great sacrifice of the Son of God take ap your march to Heaven. "The Spiritond 'he bride say, Come, and who soever will let him come and take the water of life freely." Join this great throng marching Heavenward. All the doors of invitation are open. "And I saw twelve gates, and the twelve gates were t welve pearls." TOASTED HER GRANDCHILDREN The Most Fiendish Dee f aa Aces' ! NesrrMi of Sheridan, Arkansas. . ' News has just reached Fine Bluff, Ark., of the fiendish and barbarous deeds of an aged negress of Sheridan, a town 25 miles west of Pine Bluff, In (rant county. Several days since a white man passing the bouse of "Aunt Martha," .bis negress, heard heartrend ing cries within, and, stepping to the door, witnessed a sight which made his blood run cold. There, suspended over theflames.was Aunt Martha's four-year- old grandchild, being, as the negress termed it, "singed like a goose." For over a year the grandchildren of this human fiend have been dying at reg. ular intervals of about five months. about four of them having passed away. Sheridan people now recall the fact that before the death of each severe burns would be noted upon its body, and believe each one has been a burnt sacrifice of Aunt Martha. The Sher idan authorities will fully Investigate, the affair. HEAD OF A NUMEROUS FAMILY Jobs Chandler Is Father, Grandfa ther and Great-Cfrandfalher to 102 Persons. To be the head of a family of 162 per sons is a record seldom falling to the lot of man. But such is the case with John Chandler, who resides in Allen county, Ky. 1 This gentleman is the father of 29 children, 21 of whom are now living and have families. These 2.1 children have an average ot five childi en to each family, thus making Mr. Chandler the grandfather of 105 persons. Hut thi is not the full extent of his offspring, for he has 35 great-grandchildren. So il will be seen that Mr. Chandler stands paterfamilias of 162 en achievement rarely equaled. . ' Mr. Chandler is a remarkable man in several other respects. Although 75 years of age, and residing in the hills of Allen county, be reads current liter ature and keeps himself informed on the leading topics of the day. He is an expert rifle shot, and spends a great deal of his time squirrel hunting. ' Area tha Philippines. The area of the Philippines, accord ing to the treasury monthly summary for December, is 144,326 square miles, This is equal to the combined area of New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts and Connecticut.
