Washisotok, Deo. 1. As tomorrow the
lonirrues of the United States assemble
and many of the members were present at
the delivery of this scrmoru Dr. Talmage
took a most appropriate theme, showing
that in all their work they might realize
that God has always boon on the side of
this nation. Text, II Kings vl, 17, "And
the Lord opened the eyes of the young
man, and he saw, and, behold, the moun
tain was full of horses and chariots of fire
round about Ellaha."
The American congress to assembling.
Arriving or already arrive are the repre
sentatives of all sections ox this Deiuvoa
land. Let ns welcome them with, praycrr
and benedictions. A nobler group of men
never entered Washlngtos than those- who
will tomorrow take their places la the
senate chamber and lb house of repre
sentatives. Whether they come alone or
leave their families at the homestead far
away, may the b kissing of the Eternal God
be upon tbemi we mvite inem to our
cbarches, and together, they In political
spheres and we In religious circle, will
give the coming months to consideration
of the best interests of this oountry, which
God bos blessed so much In the past that
I propose to show you and show them, so
far as I may now reach their ear or to
morrow their eye through the printing
press, that God will be with them to help
them as in the text he filled the mountains
with help for Elisha.
As it cost Entrland many regiments ana
$2,000,000 a year to keep safely a trouble
some captive at St. Helena, so the king of
Syria sends out a wbole army to capture
one minister of religion perhaps 60,000
men to take Elisha. During the mgni
the army of Syriuns came around the vil
lage of Dotban, where tne propnet was
staving. At early daybreak the manserv
ant of Elisha rushed In and said: "What
shall we dof There Is a whole army come
to destroy yon I We must diet We must
die!" But Elisha was not scared a bit,
for ho looked up and saw the monntains
all around full of supernatural forces, and
be know that If there wore 50,000 Syrians
asalnst him there were 100,000 angels for
him, and lu answer to tbepropnot'S prayer
in behalf of his affrighted manservant the
vouns man saw it too. Horses of fire
harnessed to chariots of lire, ana drivers
of fire pulling reins of fire on bits of fire.
and warriors of tiro witn oranaisnea
swords of fire, and the brilliance of that
morning sunrise was eclipsed by the gal-
lonina snlendors of tbe celestial cavaicnae.
'And tbe Lord opened the eyes or tne
young man, and he saw, and, behold, the
mountain was full of horses ana cnanois
of fire round about Elisha." I speak of
the npper forces of the text that are to
flaht on our side as a nation. If all the
low levels are filled with armed threats, I
have to tell you that the mountains of our
hope and courage and faith are tun oi tno
horses and chariots of divine rescue.
The IMvine Equipage.
' You will notice that the divine equipage
is always represented as a ohariot of fire.
Ezekiel and Isaiah and John, when they
oome to describe the divine equipage, al
ways represent it as a wheeled, a harness
ed, on upholstered conflagration. It is not
a chariot like kings and conquerors of
earth mount, but an organized and com
pressed fire. That means purity, justioe,
chastisoment, deliverance through burning
escapes. Chariot of roscuuP Yes, but i
chariot of fire. All our national dlsen
thralments have been through scorching
asonies and red disasters. Through trib-
ulation the Individual rises. Through
tribulation nations rise. Chariots of res
cue, but chariots of fire. But how do
know that this divine equipage is on the
side of our institutions? I know it by the
history of the last 119 years. The Amerl
onn'RevoIution started from the pen of
John Hancock In Independence hall, In
1776. The colonies, without ships, with
out ammunition, without gang, without
trained warriors, without money, without
prestige. On tho other side, the mightiest
nation of the earth, the largest armies, the
grandest navies and tho most distinguish
ed commanders and resources inexhausti
ble, and nearly all nations ready to back
them up In the fight. Nothing as against
Immensity. ' ' -
The cause of the American colonies,
which started at zero, dropped still lower
through the quarreling of the generals,
and through the jealousies at small suc
cesses, and through the winters whioh sur
passed all predecessors in depth ot snow
and horrors of concealment, juisna sur
rounded by the whole Syrian army did not
seem to be worse off than did the 13 colo
nies encompassed and ovorshaaowod by
foreign assault. What decided the contest
in our favor? The uppor forces, the upper
armies. The Green and White mountains
of Now England, the highlands along the
Hudson, the mountains of "Virginia, all
the Appalachian ranges wore full of re-enforcements
whioh the young man Wash
ington saw by faith, and his men endured
the frozen feet, and tho gangrened wounds,
and the exhausting hunger, and the long
march, because "the Lord oponod the eyos
of the young man, and he saw, and, be
hold, tho mountain was full of horses
and chariots of fire round about Elisha. ,f
Washington himself was a miracle. What
Joshua was in sacred, history the first
American president was in secular history.
A thousand other men excelled him in
different things, but he excelled them all
in roundness and completeness of charac
ter. The world, never saw his like, and
probably never will see his like again, be
cause there probably never will be another
Buch exigency. He was lot down a divine
interposition. Ho was from God direct.
God's Chariot to the Rescue.
I do not know how many con read the
history of those times without admitting

Then, in 1861, when our civil war opened,
many at the north and at the south pro

At the opening of the war tbe oom
mandcr in chief of tbe United States forces
was a man who bad been groat lu battley
bat old age had oome, with many Infirmi
ties, and be had a right to quietude. He
oould not mount a horse, and ha rode on.
the battlefield In a carriage, asking, the
'river not to Jult it too- mudu. Uurbnfz
fie most of the ffanr years, of tne contest
on the southern side was a man In midlife,
who had in his veins- the blood ot many
generations of warriors,, himself one of the
heroes of Churubusoo and Cerro Gordo,
Contreraa and Cbapultepeo. As the years
passed on and the scroll of carnage unrolled
there came out from both sides a heroism,
and a strength, and a determination that
tho world had never seen marshaled. And
what but extermination could come when
Philip Sheridan and Stonewall Jackson
met, and Nathaniel Lyon and Sidney
Johnston rode in from north and south,
and Grant and Lee, the two thunderbolts
of battle, clashed f Yet we are a nation,
and yet we are at peace. Earthly courage
did not decide tbe conflict. -The-uppor
forces of tho text they toll Bs there was
battle fought above the clouds on Look
out mountain, but there was- something
higher than that.
Again, tne horses and1 chariots ot txoa
came to. the resoua of this nation in 1876,
at the close of a presidential election fa
mous for ferocity. A darker oloud yet set
tled down upon this nation. The result
of the election was in dispute, and revolu
tion, not btitween two- or three sections,
but revolution la every town and village
and eitv of tbe United States, seemed im
minent. The prospect was that JNow xorx
would throttle New York, and New Or
leans would grip New Orleans, and Boston
Boston, and Savannah Savannah, and
Washington Washington. Some said Mr.
Tllden was elected, others sola Mr. iiayes
was elected, and how near we came to
universal massacre some of us guessed,
but God only knew. 1 ascribe our escape
not to tbe honesty and Tlghteousness of
Infuriated politicians, but I ascribe It to
the upper forces of tbe text.
God the Friead of tbe Nation.
Chariots of mercy rolled in, and though
tbe wheels were not heard, and the flash
was not seen, yet all through the moun
tains of the north, and the south, and the
east, and the west, though the hoofs did
not clatter, the cavalry of God galloped
by. I tell you God is tbe friend of this
nation. In the awful excitement at tne
massacre of Lincoln, when there was a
prospect that greater slaughter would open
unon this nation, uoa nusnea tne tempest,
In the awful excitement at the time of
Garfield's assassination God put his foot
on the neck of the cyclone. To prove God
is on the side of this nation I argue from
the last eight or nine great national har
vests, and from tbe national nealtn oi tne
last ouarter of a century, epidemics very
exceptional, and from tbe great revivals .of
religion, and from the spreading of the
church ot God, and from the continent
blossoming with asylums and reformatory
institutions, and from on .unionization
which promises that this whole land is to
be a paradise, where God shall walk.
I am encouraged more that 1 can ten
you as I see the regiments wheeling down
the sky, and my Jeremiads turn into aox
ologies, and that which was the Good Fri
day of the nation's crucifixion becomes
the Easter morn of its resurrection, ui
course God works through human instru
mentalities, and this national betterment
is to come among other things through a
scrutinized ballot box. By the law of reg
lstration It Is almost impossible now to
hove illegal voting. There was a time
you and I remember it very well when
droves of vagabonds wandered up and
down on election day, and from poll to
poll, and voted bore and voted thore and
voted everywhere, and there was no onai-
lenge. or. if there were, it amounted to
nothing, becauso nothing could so sudden
ly bo proved upon the vagabonds. Now
In every well organized neighborhood every
voter is watched with sevorest soruuny,
If I am in a region where I am allowed a
vote, I must tell the registrar my name,
and how old I am, and how long I have
resided in the stato, and how long I hav
resided In the ward or the township, and
if I misrepresent 60 witnosses will rise and
shut me out from the ballot box. Is not
that a groat advance? And then notice
the law that prohibits a man voting if he
has bet on the election. A step farther
needs to bo taken, and that man forbidden
a voto who has offered or taken a brlbo.
whather it be In the shape of a froo drink
or cosh poid down, the suspicious coses
obliged to put their hand on the Bible and
swear their vote In if they vote at on. tjo,
through tho sacred ohest of our nation
suffrage, redemption will oome.
Wash Ont Tour Eyes-
God will save this nation through an
aroused moral sentiment. There has nover
been so much discussion of morals and
inimorals. Men, whothcr or not they ac
knowledge what is right, have to think
what is right. We have men who hav
had their hands in the publio treasury the
most of their lifetime stealing all they
could lay their hands on, discoursing elo-
aucntly about dishonesty in publio scrv
onts, and men with two or three families
of tholr own' preaching eloquently nbout
the beauties of the seventh commandment.
Tho question of sobriety and drunkennoss
is thrust in the face of this nation as never
before and takes a part. In our political
contests. The question of national so
briety is going to be respectfully and def
erentially heard at the bar of every legis
lature, and every house of representatives,
and every state senate, and an omnipotent
voice will ring down the sky and across
this land and back again, saying to these
rising tides of drunkenness which threaten
to whelm home and church and nation,
"Thus for shalt thou como, but no farther,
and here shall thy proud waves be staid."
I have not in my mind a shadow of dis
heartment as largo as tho shadow of a
house fly's wing. My faith is in tho upper
forces, the upper armies of tho text. God
is not dead. Tho chariots uro not un
whceled. If you would only prny more
and wash your eyes in tho cool, bright
water fresh from tho well of Christian re
form, It would bo fald of you,.os of this
ono of the text, " The Lord opened tho eyes
of the youi g man, and ho saw, and, be
hold, tho iiiountalu was full of horses and
ihnriols of fire round ofoout Elisha."

Politics Needs Religion.
Have you any doubt about the need of
the Christian religion to purify and make
decent American politics? At every yearly
or quadrennial election wo have in this -oountry
great niMiu factories manufac
tories of lies.-ana they are ran aay ana
night, and they turn out half a dozen a
day, all equipped and teady for full sail
ing. Large lies and small lies. Lies pri
vate, and lies publio, and lies prurient,
lies cut bios, and lies cut diagonal, long
limbed lies, and lies with double baok no
tion ; lies complimentary, and lies defama
tory; lies that some people believe, and
lies that all the peoplo believe, and lies
that nobody behoves; lies with humps like
camels, and scales like crocodiles, and
necks ns long as storks, and feet as swift
as an antelopo's, and stings like adders;
lies raw and scalloped and panned and
stcwod; crawling llos, and jumping lies,
and soaring lies; llos with attachment
screws and runlers and braiders and ready
wound bobbins; lies by Christian people
who never Ho except during elections, and
lies by peoplo who always lie, but beat
themselves in a presidential campaign.
I confess I am ashamed to have a for
eigner visit this country in such times. I
should think he would stand dazed, his
hand on his pocketbook, and dare not go
out nights. What will tho hundreds of
thousands of foreigners who oome here to
live think of us? What a disgust they
must have for tho land of their adoption 1
The only good thing about it is many of
thorn cannot understand the English lan
guage. But I suppose the German and
Italian and Swedish and French papors
translate it all and poddle out the Infernal
stuff to the subscribers.
Nothing but Christianity will ever stop
uch a flood of indecency. The Christian
religion will speak after awhile. The
billingsgate and low scandal through
which wo wado every year of every four
yoars must bo rebuked by that religion
which speaks from its two great moun
tains from tho ono mountain Intoning
tho command, "Thou shalt not boar false
witness against thy neighbor, " and from
the other mount, making plea for kindness
and blessing rathor than cursing. Yes;
wo are going to have a national religion.
There are two kinds of national religion.
Tho one is supported by the state and is a
matter of human politics, and it has groat
patronage, und under It men will struggle
for promlnonco without referonoe to quali
fications, nnd its archbishop is supported
by a salury of 175,000 a year, and there
are great cathedrals, with all the machin
ery of music and canonicals, and room for
1,000 people, yet an audience of 50 peoplo,
or 30 people, or 10 or 8. We want no sr-h
religion as that, no such national religion,
but wo wnnt this kind or national religion
tho vast majority of the poople oon vorted
ond evangelized and then they will man
age tho secular ns well as the religious.
Church Will Bale the Ballot Box.
Do you say that this is impracticable?
No. The time is coming just as certainly
as there Is a God, and that this is his
book, and that he has tho strength and the
honesty to fulfill his promises. One of the
anciont emperors usod to prido himself on
performing that which his counselors said
was impossible, and l have to ten you to
day that man's impossiblos are God's
easies. " Hath ho said, and shall he not
do it? Hath he commanded, and will he
not bring it to pass?" Tho Christian re
ligion Is coming to take possession of ev
ery ballot box, of ovory schoolhouse, of
every home, of every valley, of ovory
mountain, of every acre of our national
domain. This nation, notwithstanding
all tho evil influences that are trying to
destroy it, is going to live.

Ah, It will not be long before it will
aot make any difference to you or to me
what becomes of this continent so far as
earthly comfort Is concerned. ' All we will
want of it will he 7 feet by 3, and that

room and to spore. That Is all of this
country wo will need very soon the
youngest of ns all. But we have an anx
iety about the welfare and the happiness
ot the generations that aro coming on, and
it will be a grand thing if, when the
archangel's trumpet sounds, we find that
our sepulcher, like the one Joseph of Ari
iwthea provided for Christ, is in the midst

One of tho seven i of the world
was the white nrorr.:, w m-h tower of
pharos of Egypt, Sostratus, the architect
and sculptor, offer building that watch
tower, cut his namo on it. Thon he cov
ered it with plaster, and, to please the
king, ho put the monarch's name on tbe
outside of tho plastering, and tho storms
beat and tho seas dushed in their fury, and
they washed off the plastering, and they
washed It out, and they washed it down,
but the name of Sostratus was deep cut in
tho imperishable rock. So across the face
of this nation there have been a groat
many names written across our finances,
across our religions, names worthy of re
membrance, names written on tho archi
tecture ot our churches and our schools
and our asylums and our homes of mercy,
but God is tho architect of this contlnont,
and he was tho sculptor of all its gran
deurs, and long after through the wash of
tho ages and the tempests ot oenmr leg
al l other names snail be obliterated the
divine signature and divine name will be
brighter and brighter as the millenniums
go by, and the world shall Bee that the
God who made this contlnont has redoomed
it by his grace from all Its sorrows and
from all its crimes.
Pray For National Welnu.
Have you faith in such a thlug as that?
After all the chariots have been unwheelod,
and after all the war ohargors have been
crippled, the chariots which Elisha saw on
the morning of his peril will roll on in tri
umph, followed by all tho armies of heaven
en white horses. God oould do It without
us. but he will not. The weakest of us,
the faintest of us, the smallest brained ot
us, shall hove a part in the triumph. We
may not have our name, like the name of
Sostratus, cut in imperishable rock and
oonspicuous for centuries, but we shall be
remembered In a bettor place than that,
even In tho heart of him who came to re
deem us and redeem the world, and our
names will bo soon closo to the signature
of his wound, for, as today he throws out
his arms to us, he says, "Behold, I have
graven thee on tho palms of my hand.

oscont of your supplloatlon heavenward
In behalf of this nation. Before the postal
communication was so easy, and long ago,
on a rock 100 feet high, on the coast of
England, there was a barrel fastened to a
post, and in great lottors on the side of
the rock, so it oould be seen far out at sen,
wore the words, "Postoflico, and when
ships came by, a boat put out to take and
fetch letters. And so sacred wore those
deposits of affection in that barrel that no
lock was ever put upon that barrel, al-
thQUghJt jJontnlned-messnaos fcr Aamri
and Europe ana Asia and Afrloa, and all
tbe Islands of the sea. Many a storm
tossed sailor, homesick, got messages of
kindness by that rock, and many a home
stead beard good news from a boy long
gone. Would that all the heights of our
national prosperity were in Interchange of
sympathies prayers going up meeting
blessings coming down. Postal celestial,
not by a storm struck rook on a wintry
coast, but by tho Rock of Ages.
Soldiering aad Look.
When wars are afoot, every one is fever
ishly anxious to be employed; every claim
Is urged; every species ot influence Is
brought to bear, personal and political,
that of august friends, all and every Inter
est Is made, every lever turned to win the
privilege of taking part In tho coming
campaign. The consequences are or may
prove all important, an obvious explana
tion of the cagcrnoss displayed. Active
sorvieo brings a man the chance hitherto
denied in camp or oountry quarters of
showing tbo good stuff that is In hlw. It
puts the true soldier in his proper place,
shows him at his proper value, for It is a
strange fact that somo ot our best officers
hare not been esteemed such until the
hour of emorgenoy came. Now and again
a star shoots up like a rocket from tbe
limbo of commonplace, showing a bril
liancy the very existence of which was till
then unknown.
Tbe case of Colonel Kelly of Chltrnl re
nown Is a most recent Instance of this.
Ho had served on without remark or spe
cial distinction and was within an aoe of
withdrawing into obscure retirement when
he got his opportunity. That of SlrGoorgo
Whyte, the present commander in chief in
India, may also bo quoted, who, at tho bo
ginning of the lost Afghan war, was only
a regimental major and within ton years
held, as full general, tho highest military
appointment out ot knglaud. A more re
markable case, showing fluo military qual
ities may bo dormant and unsuspected, Is
that of tho late Major Bromhead, ono of
the heroes of Rorko's Drift. Ho was actu
ally left behind ut tho base, where ho so
distinguished himself, while others were
chosen In preference for scrvlco at, the
front. Horlwrt Stewart wont to the front
rapidly by tho natural -election of ni-iivi
sorvieo. So did t?lr lirdvcr Duller am
tho late Sir Thomas Baker nfter i-low ) n

Concerning Slang.
It Is not easy to traco the origin ot any
nartloular specimen of slang. Wo notice
that smart writers ore employing the epl
thet "flimflam," and will go out of their
Way for an occasion to use it as a proof
that they are up to date. An Irish gentle
man tolls us that ho was entertained ny a
friend In Philadelphia whose porter came
back from answorlng tbe doorbell and
said to his 'master, "Nobody but a bum
"And what is obum?" inquired tho guest.
This slang was explained to him. It Is
not tho same In Ireland. There, bum is a
diminutive for boniMust. A bum is a brag
gart, what we should coll a blowhard
Flimflam, like skedaddle and nearly all
the successful slangs, is an onomntopoot-
lclsm which last is among tho great words
which we allow ourselves to employ only
on speoinlly Impressive occasions in plain
terms, nword the sound of which indicates
Its moaning. A good slang word soon
wins its way to proper use though this 1b
rVher too fliinsytlumslcol to lust. UU'
