(Copyright, 1859, by Louia Klopsch.)
, Washington, Nor. It
The idea that thing in thia world
ire at loose ends and going at haphaz
ard is in this discourse combated by
Dr. Talmage. The text is Psalm 119,
8: "Forever, 0 Lord, Tby word Is set
tled in. Heaxen."
This world has beeo in process of
change ever since it was created
mountains born, mountains dying, and
they have both, cradle and grave.
Once this planet was all fluid, and no
being such as you or I have ever seen
could have lived on it a minute. Our
hemisphere turns its face to the sun
end then turns its back. The axis of
the earth's revolution has shifted. The
earth's center of gravity is changed.
Once flowers grew in the arctic and
there was snow in the tropics. There
bas been a redistribution of land and
lea, the land crumbling into the sea,
the sea swallowing the land. Ice and
Are have fought for the possession of
this planet. The chemical composi
tion of it is different now from what
it once was. Volcanoes once terribly
alive are dead, not one throb of fiery
pulse, not one breath of vapor the
ocean changing its amount of saline
quantities. The internal fires of the
earth are gradually eating their way
to the surfaces upheaval and sub
sidence of vast roalras of continent.
High up in the palace of the sun at
least five things are settled that na
tions which go continuously and per
sistently wrong perish; that happi
ness is the result of spiritual condi
tion and not of earthly environment;
that this world is a schoolhouse for
splendid or disgraceful graduation;
that with or without us the world is to
be made over into a scene of nrbores
cence and purity; that all whoareadk
Joined to the unparalleled One of Beth
lehem nnd Nazareth and Golgotha will
be the subjects of a supernal felicity
without any taking off.
Do you doubt my first proposition
that nations which go wrong perish?
We have in this American nation all
the elements of permanence and de
struction. We need not borrow from
others any trowels for upbuilding or
torches for demolition. Elements of
ruin nihilism, infidelity, agnosticism,
Sabbath desecration, inebriety, sensual
ity, extravagance, fraud; they are all
here. Elements of safety God-wor
thiping men and women by the scores
of millions, honesty, benevolence, truth
fulness, self sacrifice, industry, sobri
ety and more religion than has char
acterized any nation that bas ever ex
isted; they are all here. The only
question is as to which of the forces will
gain dominnncy the one class ascend
ant, and this United States government,
I think, will continue as long as the
world exists; the other class ascend
ant, and the United States goes into
such small pieces that other govern
ments would hardly think them worth
picking up.
Have you ever noticed the size of the
cemetery of dead nations, the vast
Greenwood and Fere le Chaise, where
mighty kingdoms were buried? Open
the gate and walk through this cem
. etery and read the epitaphs. Here lies
Carthage, born 100 years before Rome,
great commercial metropolis on the
bay of Tunis, a part of an empire that
gave the alphabet to the Greeks and
their great language to the Hebrews;
her arms the terror of nations, com
manding at one time 1G,000 miles of
coast; her Hamilcar leading forth 30
myriads, or 300,000 troops; her Hanni
bal carrying out in manhood the oath
he bad taken in boyhood to preserve
eternal enmity to Rome, leaving costly
and imposing monuments at Agrlgen
tum a gjnstly heap of ruins.; Carthage,
her colonies on every coast, her ships
plowing every sen; Carthage where
are her splendors now? All extin
guished. Where are her swords? The
last one broken. Where are her tow
ers and long ranges of magnificent
architecture? lltiried under the sands
of the Bngrndas. As ballast of foreign
ships much of her radiant mnrble has
been carried away to build the walls
of trans-Mediterranean cathedrnls,
while other blocks hare been blasted
in modern times by the makers of the
Tunis railway. And nil of that great
and mighty city and kingdom that the
tourist finds to-day is here and there
a broken arch of what was once a 50
tnlle aqueduct. Our talented and
genial friend, Henry' M. Field, n on
of his matchless books of travel, la
bors hard to prove tnat the slight ruins
of that city are really worth visiting.
. Carthage buried in the cemetery of
dead nations. Not one nltnr to the
true God did she rear. Not one of the
Ten Commandments but she conspicu
ously violated. Her doom was settled
in Heaven when it was decided far back
in the eternities that the nation and
kingdom that wHl not' serve Cod shall
' perish. s .
- !Oiir own nation will be Judged by ihe
same moral Inns by which nil other
Cations have been jndped. The judg
ment day for individnnls will probably
eome far on In the future. Judgment
day for nations is every day, every day
weighed, every day approved or every
day 'condemned. Never before' in the
history of this country bas the Amer
ican nation been more surely in the
balances than It Is this minute. Do
right, and we go np. Do wrong, and
we go down. I am not so anxious io
know what this statesman or that war
rior thinks we had better do with Cuba
and Porto Rico and the Philippines as
1 am anxious to know what God thinks
we had better do. The destiny of this
natioa will not be decided on yonder
capitoline hilL or at Manila or at the
presidential ballot box, for la win be
settled in Heaven.
Another thing decided in the high
places of the universe is that tbiaworld,
with or without us, will be made over
into a scene of arborescence and purity.
Do not think that such aconsummation
depends upon our pertonal fidelity. It
will be done anyhow. God's cause does
not go a-begging. If all the soldiers of
Jesus Christ now living should become
deserters and go over to tbe enemy, that
would not defeat tbe cause. A large
part of the IVble is taken np with tell
ing ns what ihe world will be. There is
a large army, human and angelic, now
in tbe field, but God's reserve forces'are
more numerous and more mighty than
those now at the front, and if He could
in Gideon's time rout the Midianites
with a crash of crockery, and if He
could in Shamgar's time overcome a host
with an ox goad, and if in bamson s
time He could defeat an army with a
bleached jawbone, and if the walls of
Jericho went down under a blast of
perforated ram's horn, and if in Christ's
day blind eyes were cured by oint
ment of spittle, then God can do any
thing He says He will do. As yet He
has taken only one sword out of a whole
armory of weapons. Do not get nervous,
as if the Lord were going to be defeat
ed. The redemption of these hem
ispheres was settled in Heaven, and
Isaiah and Ezekiel and Habakkuk and
Malachl and St, John only reported
what the Lord God Almighty had de
cided upon. My only fear is that our
regiment will not get into the fight to
do something worthy of the Christ who
redeemed us and we be left in lazy en
campment at Tampa when we ought
1o have been at Santiago.
Oh, that coming day of the world's
perfection! The earth will be so
changed that the sermonology will be
changed. There will be no more calls
to repentance, for all will have re
pented; no more gathering of alma for
the poor, for the poor will have been
enriched; no hospital Sunday, for dis
jointed bones will have been set and
the wounds all healed, and the in
curable diseases of other times will
have been overcome by a materia med
ics and a pharmacy and a dentistry and
a therapeutics that have conquered
everything that afflicted the nerve or
lung or tooth or eye or limb henlth
ologycompleteand universal. The poul
tice and the ointment and the panacea
and the catholicon and the surgeon's
knife and the dentist's forceps and the
scientist's X ray will have fulfilled their
mission. The social life of tbe world
will be perfected. In that millennial age
I imagine ourselves standing in front
of a house lighted for levee. We enter
among groups filled with gladness and
talking good sense and rallying each
other in pleasantries and in every pos
sible way forwarding good neighbor
hood; no looking askance, no whispered
baekbltiugs, no strut of pretension, no
oblivion of some one's presence be
cause you do not want to know him;
each one hippy, determined on making
some one else happy (-'w ords of honest
appreciation instead of hollow flattery;
suavities and genialities instead of inr
flatlons and pomposities; equipage
md upholstery and sculpture and paint
ing paid for; two hours of mental and
niorul improvement; all the guests able
to walk as steadily down the steps of
that mansion as when they oscended
them; no awakening next morning with
aching head and bloodshot eye and in
competent for the day's duties; the
social life as perfect as refinement and
common sense and culture and prosper
'ty and religion can make it; the earth
made better than it was at the start,
and all through gospelizing influences,
directly or Indirectly.
I suppose the greatest tidal wave that
ever rolled the seas was that which in
18G8 was started by the Peruvian earth
quake. At Arica, Peru, the wave was
SO feet high and swung warships a mile
forward on the land. At San Pedro,
Cal., the wave was CO feet high. It
moved on to the Sandwich islands and
submerged some of them and bent
agulnst the shores of New Zealand and
rolled up the beach of Japan and
stopped not until it had encircled the
entire globe. Oh, what a wave! But
the earthquake that Bhook the moun
tain where our Lord died started a
higher and swifter and mightier tidni
wave that will roll round and round
the earth until all it rebellions and
abominations have gone under.
That was an exciting scene after the
battle of Ilosworth, which was fought
between Richard III. nnd. the earl of
Richmond, the king falling and the earl
triumphing, when Lord Stanley
brought tbe crown and handed it to the
earl, seated on horseback, while the
dying and tbe dead of the battle were
lying all around. But it Is a more thrill
ing spectacle as. we., look forward
through the centuries nnd see the last-
armed and imperial iniquity1 of the
world slain and the crown of universal
victor put upon the conqueror on the
whlfe horse of theApocalyps and all
nations "hail the -power of Jesus'
name.". That' the whole earth will be
redeemed is one of the things long ago
settled In Heaven.
Another thing decided in that high
place is that all who are adjoined to the
unparalleled -One of Bethlehem nnd
Nazareth and Golgothn will be the sub
jects of a supernal felicity without any
taking off. .The old adage snys"tbnt
"beggars must not I choosers," ami
the human race In Its depleted state
had better riot becriticnl of the mode
by which God would empnlaee all ot us.
I could easily think of a plan more
complimentary to our fnllrn humanity
than that' which is culled the "plan of
salvation." ' If God had allowed ns to
do part of the work of recovery nnd He
do the rest, if we could da three-quar
ters of It nnd He do the last quarter,
if we could accomplish most of It and
He just put on the llnishrng touches,
many could look with o're compla
cency ""bpon" The projected reinstate
ment of the human fumily. So, no!
We must have our pride subjugated,
our stubborn will made flexible and a
supernatural power demonstrated ia
ns at every step. A pretty plan of
salvation that would be, of human
drafting and manufacturing! It would
be a doxology sung to ourselves. God
must have all the glory, not one step
of our heavenly throne made by earth
ly carpentry; not one string could we
twist of the harp of our eternal re
joicing. Accept all as an unmerited
donation from the skies, or we will
never have it at all.
'Now," says some one, "if Christ la
the only way what about the heathen,
who have never beard of Him?" But
you are not heathen, and why divert us
from the question ot our personal sal
vation? Satan Is always introducing
something irrelevant He wsnts to
take it out of a personality into an
abstraction. Get our own salvation set
tled, and then we will discuss the sslva-
lion of other people. "But," says some
one, "what percentage of the human
race will be saved ? What will be tbe
comparative number saved and lost?"
There Satan thrusts in tbe mathemat
ics of redemption. He suggests that
jouifind out the mathematical propor
tion of th redeemed. But be not re
ceived. I am now discussing the eter
nal welfare of nuly two persons, your
self and myself. Get ourselves right
before we bother ourselves about get
ting others right. O Christ, come hith
er and master our case! Hero are our
sins pardon them; our wounds heal
them; our burdens lift them; our sor
rows comfort them. We want tbe
Christ of llartimeus to open our blind
eyes, the Christ of Martha to help us in
our domestic cares, the Christ of Oli
vet to help us preach our sermons, the
Christ of Lake Galilee to still our tem
pests, the Christ of Lazarus to raise
our dead. Not too tired is He to come,
though He has on His whipped shoul
ders bo longcnrrled the world's woe and
on His lacerated feet walked this way to
accept our salutation.
By the bloody throes of the moun
tain on which Jesus died, and by the
sepulcher where His mutilated body
was inclosed in darkened crypt and by
the Olivet from which He arose, while
astonished disciples clutched for His
robes to detain Him in their compan
ionship, and by the radiant and omnip
otent throne on which He sits, waiting
for the- coming of all those whose re
demption was settled in Heaven, I im
plore you to bow your head in imme
diate and final submission. Once exer
cise sorrow for what you have done
and exercise trust in Ilim for what He
is willing to do, nnd all is well for both
worlds. Then you can swing out de
fiance to all opposition, human and dia
bolic. In conquering His foes He
conquered yours. And have you no
ticed that passage in Colossians that
represents Him "having despoiled prin
cipalities end powers, He made a show
of them, openly triumphing," So bring
ing before us that overwhelming spec
tacle of a Roman triumph?
When Pompey landed , at Brindisi,
Italy, returned from his victories, he
disbanded the brave men who had
fought under him and sent them re
joicing to their homes, and, entering
Rome, his emblazoned chariot was fol
lowed by princes in chains from kirg
doms he had conquered, ard flowers
such as only grew under those Ita".an
skies strewed the way, and he came
under arches inscribed with the nunies
of battlefields on which he had t.
umphed and rode by columns which told
of the 1,500 cities he had destroyed and
the 12,000,000 people he had conquered
or slain. Then tbe banquet was spread,
and out of the chalices filled to th
brim they drank to the health of the
conqueror. Belisnrius, the great sol
dier, returned from his military
achievements and was robed in purple,
and in 'he procession were brought
golden thrones and pillars of precious
stones and tli- furniture of royal feasli,
and umid the splendors of kingdoms
overcome he was hailed to the hippo
drome by shouts such as bad seldom
rung through the capital Then also
came the convivialities. In the year 374
Aiirelian made his entrance to Home In
triumphal car, in which he stojii while
a winged figure of Victory held a
wreath above his head. Zcnobla. cap
tifu ijjtoon of Pa.m.vra, walked behind
his chariot, her person encircled with
fetters of gold, under the weight of
which she nenrly fainted, but still a cap
tive. And there were in the procession
200 lions nnd tigers and beasts of many
innds and 1,000 gladiators excused from
the cruel amphitheater that they might
decorate the day, and Persian and Arab
'nu nnd Ethiopian embassadors were in
tht procession and the long lines of cap
tives, Egyptians, Syrians, Gauls. Goths
and Vandals.
It was to such scenes that the New
Testament refers when It spoke of
Chnsi "having despoiled principalities
and powers. He made a show of them,
openly triumphing." But. oh, tbe dif
ference in ;hose triumphs! .The Ro
man triumph represented srrogance,
cruelty, oppression and wrong, but
Christ's triumph meant emancipation
and holiness and Joy. ' The former was
a procession of groan accompanied by
a clank of chains, the other a proces
sion of hosnnnas by millions set for
ever free. The only shackled ones of
Chrint's triumph' wilt be Satan and his
cohorts tied to our Lord's chariot wheel,
with all the abominations of all the
earth bound, for an eternal cnptivlty.
Then will come a feast in which the
chalice wilt be filled "with the new
wine of the kingdom." Under arches
commemorative of all the battles In
which the bannered nrmlea of the
church militnnt through thousands of
years of struggle have al last won the

HONEST ELECTIONS.
Beau JToha Wnaaataker Sara thai
alios Reform to a NaUoaal Nee al
Thia Tin.
New York. Nov. 14. The World dud.
lishes the following signed statement
from John Wanamaker,- dated Phila
delphia, November 13;
The recent revelation of corrup
tion in the conduct of elections it
Philadelphia ought to deeply impress
thoughtful citizens the entire country
over with the urgent necessity for bal
lot reforms. By ballot reform I mean
such legal enactments and regulations
as win first make the ballot absolutely
secret and therefore absolutely free.
and second such device, whether me
chanical or otherwise, as will make a
true account and return of the votes
legally cast a near a may be nn ab
solute certainty. This, it seems to
me, is the desideratum . of modern
politics in this country. Political
freedom and equality are secured by
const itntionnl and statutory enact
ments.and the only thing needful is an
electoral ssytem which will enable the
free men of the country to cast their
rote without intimidation or coercion
and have their will thus freely ex
pressed honestly recorded and re
turned. In Philadelphia we have not
had an honest election for many years
and the debauchery of the ballot has
acquired the system and precision of a
science.
"This has not been the growth of a
day or a year, but ha been perfected
by a steady, systematic development
of the most minute details of orginaf
ingenuity. The machine has educat
ed its followers in election crime, re
warded them according to their per
fection In fraudulent art, nnd extolled
and honored the leadership which best
knew how to devise and avail itself of
corrupt practices and protect nnd pro
mote it debased tools and disciple. Of
course it would have been impossible
for the dominant machine in this city
to have so thoroughly subordinated
the electoral system to its dishonest
Uses had there been a minority organi
zation of even ordinary honesty nnd
competency. Put there is no such
Tnnority organization In this city.
What Is called the democratic or
ganization is but an agency of the cor
rupt republican machine. As a re
sult the democratic vote ha shrunk
more than two-third because honest
democrats declined to follow the lea
dership which treat the party organi
zation as nn article of merchandise,
and flint has no principle or purpose in
politics other than it own sordid gain.
All the machines are against ballot re
form, for the machine cannot live and
thrive a day if the people, the honest
masse, whose heart are right, can
ever obtain an opportunity to express
their condemnation freely and have it
honestly returned and recorded. Bal
lot reform therefore I place first on
the list of political needs of the hour,
and in Pennsylvania it is the issue
which overshndows all others in its
deep importance and far reaching ef
fects.
ADULTERATED BEER.
A Committee of Senator Hears from
Brewmaaters on This Subject.
New York, Nov. 14. The United
States senate committee on manufac
tures on Monday continued its in
quiry into the adulteration of ales,
porter and beer. The first witness
called wn Max Schwartz, a chemist,
consulting brewer nnd director of the
United Stntes brewers' ncademy. Sen
ator Mason asked about the use of pre-
servntves by brewers in the I n)ted
States nnd the witness said he knew
of none except salicvllic ncid, which is
manufactured from coal tar and com
pounds of sulphurous ncid. The use
of such preservatives, Mr. Schwartz
said, was a necessity to stay the nat
ural decay in the component parts of
beer. The preservative are only used
for beer to be shipped nnd not for
beer manufactured for home consump
tion.
Mr. Schwaitz said the proportion of
snllcyllic ncid, when used as a preserv
ative", is one-hnlf ounce for every barrel
of beer, or about one part of ncid to
10.000 parts of beer. Mr. Schwartz
declared the proportion of preserva
tives in English anil other imported
ales and beer is pinch greater than
in the locally brewed beers.
"I think," he went on. "a commis
sion should be appointed to decide
what mnter'ul may lie used for the
production of a wholesome, palatable
neer. Such a commission would find
that cereals and gupnr mny be used as
adjuncts for malt, and v.'ould doubtless
recommend the use of preservatives.
Albei t W. Wljmn, n brewmnster. said
he ngreed with all Mr. Schwartz had
said except ns to the quantity of pre
servatives necessary. lie thought Mr.
Schwartz's estimate of half nn ounce
of snlicvllic ncid to the barrel .of beer
too large. The only other preserve-
five the witness uses i bisulphilo ot
lime. No uhtitute is used for hops,
but cereals are substituted for malt
because the popular demand is for a
lighter nnd more spnrklmg beer than
can be made from pure malt.
