Washington, May 21.
In tlieae days of moral awakening
-this pointed sermon by Dr. Tulrnafje on
personal responsibility before God will
1e read with a deep and solemn inter
est. Text, Daniel 5:27: "Thou urt
weighed In the balances nnd art found
L -wanting."
Babylon was the paradise of archl
"tecture, and driven out from thence the
grandest buildings of modern times are
only the evidence of her fall. The site
laving been selected for the city, 2,000,-
COO men were employed In the rearing
of her walls and the building of her
works. It was a city 60 miles in circum
ference. There was a trench all around
the city, from which material for the
building of the city had been digged.
There were 25 gates on each side of the
city, between every two gates a tower
of defense springing into the skies,
from each gate on the one side a street
running straight through to the corre
sponding gate on the other side, so that
there were 50 streets 15 miles long.
Through the city ran a branch of the
Tlver Euphrates. This river sometimes
overflowed its banks, and to keep it
from ruining the city a lake was con
structed into which the surplus water
of the river would run during the time
of freshets, and the water was kept in
this artificial lake until time of drought,
and then this water would stream down
over the city, i At either end of the
bridge spanning this Euphrates there
was a palace the one palace a mile and
m hnlf around, the other palace T3
:m!les around.
, The wife of Nebuchndnenaer had been
born nnd brought up In the country nnd
Jn a mouninlnotie region, and she could
.not bear hh flat dihtrict of Ilnbylon,
and so, to pleise his wife, Xebuchndnez
inr built in the midst of the citv a
' mountain 400 feet hlgh.: This mountain

layer of flat stones, on the top of that
:a layer of reeds and bitumen, on the top
of that two 'ayers of bricks closely ce
mented, on t lie top of that a heavy sheet
of lead and on the top of that the so'l
placed the soil so deep that a Lebanon
cedar had room to anchor its roots.
There were pumps worked by mighty
machinery fetching up the water from
the Euphrates to this hanging garden,
as it was called, so that there were foun
tains sp' itiiefkinto the sky. Standing
below and looking up, it must have

om or as though the sky leaned on
the shoulder of a cedar. All this Xeb
uchndnezznr did to please his wife.
Well, she ought to have been pleased.
I suppose she was pleased. If that
would not please ber, nothing would.
There was in that city also the temple
,of Hleus, with towers one tower the
eighth of a mile high, In which there
was an observatory where astronomers
talked to the stars. There was in that
-tomnlo in fmnirt lilnhnnft Imnfrp. which

would post what would be our $52,-

Oh, what n city I The earth never saw
ranything like it, never will see any
thing like it. And yet 1 hnve to tell you
that It is going to be destroyed. The
king and his princes are at a feast.
They are all intoxicated. Pour out the
rich wine into the chalices! Drink to
the health of the king! Drink to the
glory of Babylon! Drink to a great fu
ture! A thousand lords reel intoxi
cated. The king seated upon a chair,
with vacant look, as intoxicated men
will with vacant look stared at the
-wall. But Roon that vacant look takes
on Intensity, nnd it is an affrighted
look, nnd nil the princes begin to look
and wonder what Is the matter, and
they look at the same point on the wall.
And then there drops a dnrknoss into
the room that puts out the blaze of
the golden plate, and out of the sleeve
of the darkness there comes a finger
a finger of fiery terror, circling around
and circling around ns though it would
write, and then it comes up, and with
sharp tip of flnme It inscribes on the
plastering of the wall the doom of the
liing: ' "Weighed In the balances and
found wanting."
The bang of heavy fists against the
gates of the palace is followed by the
breaking In of the doors. A thousand
gleaming knives strike Into a thousand
quivering hearts. Xow death is king,
and he is seated upon a throne of
corpse. In that hall there is n balance
lifted. God swung it. On one side of
the balance are put Helshazznr's oppor
tunities; on the other side of the bal
ance are put lielshnzzar'ssins. The sins
come down. His opportunities go up.
Weighed in the balances found want
ing. There hns been a great deal of cheat
ing in our country with false weights
and measures and balances, and the
government, to change that state of
things, appointed commissioners whose
business it was to stamp weights nnd
measures and balances, and a great deal
of the wrong has been corrected. But
still, after all, there is no such thing as
a perfect balance on earth. The chain
may break, or some of the metal may
be clipped, or in some way the equi
poise may be disturbed. You cannot al
ways aepena upon eanniy oniances.
A pound is not always a pound, nnd you
-may pay for one thing and get another,
but in the balance which Is suspended
tto the throne of God a pound is a pound.
and rights 's rlfrht, and wrong is wrong,
and a soul is s soul, and eternity is eter
nity. Ood has a perfect bushel and a
perfect peck and a perfect gallon.
When merchants weigh their goods in
the wrong way, then the Lord weighs
the goods again. If from the imperfect
measure the merchant poura out what
.pretends to be a gallon of oil and there
is less than a gallon, Ood knows it, and
' He calls upon Ills recording nngel to
mark It: "So much wanting in that
measure of oil." The farmer comes in
"from the country. He has apples to sell.
He has an Imperfect measure. He
pours out the apples from this imper
fect measure. Ood recognizes It. He
nys to the recording angel: "Mnrk
-down so many apples too few an im
perfect ndasure." We may cheat our
selves, and we may cheat the world, but
we cannot cheat God, and in the great
lny'tif judgment it will be found out
that what we learned in boyhood at
achool is correct that 20 hundred-
make a ton and 120 solid feet make a
cord of wood. No more, no less. And
a religion which does not take hold of
this life as well as the life to come is no
religion at all.
But, my friends, that Is not the style
of balances I am to speak of to-duy;
that ts not the kind of weights and
measures. I am to speuk of that kind
of bnlances which weigh principles,
weigh churches, weigh men, weigh na
tious and weigh words. "Whatl" yon
say, "is it possible that our world is to
be weighed?" Yes. Why, you would
think if God put on one side of the bal
ances suspended from the throne the
Alps and the Pyrenees and the Jlima
layasand Mount Washington and all the
cities of the earth they would crush it.
Xo, no! The time will come when Ood
will sit down on the white throne to
see the world weighed, and on one side
will be the -world's opportunities and
on the other side the world's sins.
Down will go the sins, and away will
go the opportunities, and Ood will say
to the messengers with the torch:
"Burn that world! Weighed and found
wanting!"
So Ood will weigh churches. He takes
a great church. That ehurch, great ac
cording to the worldly estimate, must
lie weighed. He puts it on one side the
balances and the minister and thechoir
and the building that cost its hundreds
of thotisnnds of dollars. He puts them
on one side the balances. On the other
side of the scale He puts what that
church ought to be, whut its consecra
tion ought to be, what its sympathy for
the poor ought to be, what Its devotion
to all good ought to be. That is on
one side. That sido comes down, and
the shurch, not being able to stand the
test, rises in the balance. It does not
niuke any difference about your mag
nificent machinery. A church is built
for one thing to save souls. If it paves
a few souls when It might save a multi
tude of souls, God will spew it out of
His mouth. Weighed and found want
ing! So we perceive thnt Ood estimates na
tions. How many times He has put the
Spanish monarchy Into the scales and
found it Insufficient and condemned it!
The French empire was placed on one
side of the scales, and Ood weighed the
French empire, and Xnpoleon said:
"Have I not enlarged the boulcvnrds?
Did I not kindle the glories of the
Champs Elysces? Huve I not adorned
the Tuileries? , Have I not built the
gilded opera, house?" Then Ood
weighed the nation, and He put on one
side the scales' the emperor, and the
boulevards, and the Tuileries, and the
Champs Elysees, nnd the gilded opcrn
house, and on the other Bide he puts
that man's abominations, that man's
libertinism, that man's selfishness, that
man's godless ambition. This last
came down, and all the brilliancy of the
scene vanished. What Is that voice
coming up from Sedan? Weighed and
found wanting!
But I must become more individual
and more personal In my address. Some
people say they do not think clergymen
ought to be personal In their religious
address, but ought to deal with subjects
In the abstract. I do not think that
way. What would you think of n hunter
who should go to the Adirondncks to
shoot deer In the abstract? Ah, no!
He loads his gun; he puts the butt of It
against his breast, he runs his eye
along the barrel, be takes sure aim, and
then crash go the antlers on the rocks!
And so, if we want to be hunters for
the Lord, we must take Bure aim and
fire. Xot in the abstract are we to treut
things in religious discussions. If a
physician comes Into a sick room, does
he treat disease In the abstract? Xo;
he feels the pulse, makes the diagnosis,
then he writes the prescription. And.
if we want to heal souls for this life and
the life to come, we do not want to treat
them in the abstract. The fact is, you
and I hnve a malady which, if uncured
by grace, will kill us forever. Where is
the balm? Where is the physician?
People sny there is a day of judgment
coming. My friends, every day is a day
of judgment, and you and 1 to-dny are
being canvassed, inspected, weighed.
Here are the balances of the sniictmiry.
They are lifted, and we must all be
weighed. Who will come and be
weighed first ? Here is a moralist who
volunteers. He is one of the most up
right men in the country. He comes.
"Well, my brother, get In get into the
balances now, nnd be weighed." But
as he gets into the balances I soy:
"What is thnt bundle you have along
with you?" "Oh," he says, "that is my
reputation for goodness nnd kindness
und charity nnd generosity nnd kindli
ness generally." "Oh, my brother, we
cannot weigh thnt; we are going to
weigh you you. Xow standi in the
scales you, the moralist. Paid your
debts?" "Yes," you say, "paid all my
debts." "Ilave you acted in an upright
way in tho community?" "Yes, yes."
"Have you been kind to the poor? Are
yo faithful in a thousand relations in
life?" "Yes." "So far, so good. But
now, before you get out of this scale,
1 wnnt to ask you two or three ques
tions. Have your thoughts always been
right?" "Xo," you s.-iy; "no." Put
down one mark. "Have you loved the
Lord with all your heart and soul and
mind nnd strength?" "Xo," you sny.
Make another mark. Come, now, be
frank, and confess that In ten thou
sand things you hnve come short have
you not?" "Yes." Make ten thousand
marks. Come, now, get me a book
large enough to make the record of the
moralist's deficits. My brother, stand
in the scales; do not fly away from
them. I put on your side the scales
all the good deeds you ever did, all the
kind words you have uttered, but on
the other side of the scales I put this
weight which Cod says I must put
there on the other side the scales and
opposite to yours I put this weight:
"liy the deeds of the law shall no flesh
living be Justified." Weighed and
found wanting.
Still the balances are suspended. Are
there any others who would like to be
weighed or who will be weighed? Yes;
here 'cornea a worldling. He gets into
the scales. I onn very easily see what
his whole life is made up of. Stocks,
dividends, percentages, "buyer ten
days," "buyer 30 days." "Get In my
fiicnd; get. into those balances nnd be
weighed weighed for this life and
weighed for the life to come." He gets
in. I find that the two great questions
In his life are: "How cheaply can I buy
thesa goods?" and "How dearly can I
ell them?" I find he admires Heaven
because it is a lund of gold and money
must be "easy." I find, from talking
with him, that religion and the Sabbath
are an interruption, a vulgar Interrup
tion, and he hope on the wuy to church
to drum up a new customer! All the
week he has been weighing frrrlts,
weighing meats, weighing ice, weigh
ing coals, weighing confections, weigh
ing worldly and p-rlshnble commodi
ties, not realizing the fact that he him
self has been weighed. "On your side
the balances, O worldling! I will give
you full advantage. 1 put on your side
all the banking houses, all the store
houses, all the cargoes, all the insur
ance companies, all the factories, all
the silver, all the gold, all the money
vaults, all the safe deposits all on your
side. But it does not add one ounce, for
at the very moment we are congratu
lating you on your fine house and upon
your princely income Ood and the
angels are writing in regard to your
soul: 'Weighed nnd found wanting!' "
Suddenly the judgment will be here.
The angel, with one foot on the sea and
the other foot on the land, will swear
by Him that llveth forever and ' ever
that time shall be no longer: "Behold,
He oometh with clouds, and every eye
shall see Him." Hark to the jarring of
the mountains. Why, that is the set
ting down of the scales, the bnlances.
And then there is a flash ss if from a
rloud, but It is the glitter of the shin
ing balances, and they are hoisted, and
all nations are to be weighed. The un
forgiven get out on this side the bal
ances. They must have weighed them
selves and pronounced a flattering de
cision. The world may have weighed
them and pronounced them moral.
Xow they are being weighed ill God's
balances the balances that can make
no mistake. All the property gone, all
the titles nnd distinction gone, all the
worldly successes gone, there is a soul,
absolutely nothing but a soul, an im
mortal soul, a dying soul, a soui
stripped of all worldly advantages a
soul on ene side of the scales, (m the
other side the balances are wasted Sab
baths, disregarded sermons, 10,000 op
portunities mercy and pardon that
wore cast aside. They are on the other
side of the scales, and there God stands,
and, in the presence of men and devils,
cherubim and archungel, he announces,
while groaning earthquake and crack
ling conflagration and judgment trum
pet nnd everlasting storm repeat it:
"Weighed and found wanting."
Hut sny some who ere Christians:
"Certainly you don't mean to say that
we will have to go into the balances?
Our sins are nil pardoned; our title to
Heaven is secure. Certainly you are
not going to put ns in the balances?"
Yes, my brother, we must all appear
before the judgment seat of Christ, and
on that day you are going to be
weighed. Oh, follower of Christ, you
get into the bulances! The bell of the
judgment is ringing. You must get in
to the balances. You get In on this side.
On the other side the balances we will
place all the opportunities of good
which you did nut improve, all the at
tainments in piety which you might
have had, but which you refused to
take. We place them all on the other
Bide. They go down, and your soul
rises in the scale. You cannot weigh
against all those imperfections. Well,
then, we must give you the advantage,
and on your side the scale we will place
ull the good deeds you have ever done
and all the kind words you have ever
uttered. .Too light yet! Well, we must
put on your side nil the consecration of
your life, nil the holiness of your life,
nil the prayers of your life, all the faith
of your Christian life. Too light yet!
Come, mighty men of the past, and get
in on that side of the scales. Come,
Pnyson and Doddridge nnd Baxter, get
in on that side the scales and muke
them come down, that this righteous
one may be suved. They come and they
get in the scales. Too light yet! Come,
the martyrs, the I.atimers, the Wycliffs,
the men who suffered nt the stake for
Christ. Oct in on this side the Christian
bulunceg and see If you cannot help him
weight it aright. Thpy come and get
In. Too light! Come, angels of Ood on
high. Let not the righteous perish with
the wicked. They get in on this side
the bulances. Too light yet! I put on
this side the balances all the scepters of
light, all the thrones of power, all the
crowns of glory. Too light yet! But
just at that point Jesus. Son of God,
conies up to the bnlances, and He puts
one of His sacred feet on your side, nnd
the bulances begin to tremble from top
to bottom. Then He puts both of His
sacred feet oil the balances, and the
Christian's side comes down with a
stroke that sets all the bells of Heaven
ringing. Thnt Bock of Ages heavier
thnn nny other weight!
But suys the Christian: "Am I to be
allowed to get off so easik?" Yes. If
some one should come and put on the
other side of the scales nil your Imper
fections, all your envies, all your jeal
ousies, all your Inconsistencies of life,
they would not budge the sculcs with
Christ on your side the scales, do free!
There is no condemnation to them that
are is Jesus Christ. Chains broken,
prison houses opened, sins pardoned.
Go free! Weighed In the balances nnd
nothing, nothing wanted. Oh, whnt a
glorious hope! Will you nceept It this
day? Christ making up for what you
lack. Christ the atonenmnt for nil your
sins. Who will accept him? Will not
this whole audience say: "I am insuffi
cient, I am a sinner, I am lost by rea
son of my transgressions, but Christ
has paid it all. My Lord and my Ood,
my life, my pnrdon, my Heaven. Lord
Jesus, I hnil Thee!" Oh, If you could
only understand the worth of thut sac
rifice which I have represented to you
under a figure if you could understand
the worth of that sacrifice, this whole
audience would this moment accept
Christ nnd be snved.
We goawny off or back Into history to
get some illustration by which we may
set forth what Christ has done for us.
We need not go so fnr. I sow a vehicle
behind a runaway horse dashing
through the street, n mother nnd her
two children in the cnrrlnge. The horse
dashed nlong as though to hurl them to
death, and a mounted policeman, with
a shout clearing the way, nud the horse
at full run, uttcmpted to seize those
runaway horses to save a calamity,
when his own horse fell and rolled over
him. He was picked uphnlf dead. Why
were our sympathies so stirred? He
cause he was badly hurt, and hurt for
others. But I tell you to-dny of how
Christ, the Son of Ood, on the blood
red horse of sncriflce, enme for our res
cue nnd rode down the sky and rode
unto death for our rescue. And are
your hearts not touched? That was a
sacrifice for you and me. 0 Thou who
didst ride on the red horse of sacrifice,
come and ride through this world on
the white horse of victory!
, Why is a vote of thanks Jike a turn
