The preachersaid
David lied from his pursuers The
world runs very fast when it is chas
ing a good man The country is try
ing to cutely David and to slay hiin
David goes into thu house of a priest
and asks him for a sword or spear with
which to defend himself The priest
not being accustomed to uso deadly
weapons tells David that ho cannot
supply him but suddenly tho priest
thinks of an old sword that had been
carefully wrapped up and laid away
tho very sword that Goliath formerly
used aud he takes down that sword
and while he is unwrapping tho
sharp glittering memorable blade
it Hashes upon Davids mind that this
was tho very sword that was used
against himself when he wa3 in the
fight with Goliath and David can
hardly keep his hand off it until the
priest has unwound it David stretch
es out his hand toward that old sword
and says There is none liko that
givo it me In other words JI want
in my own hand the sword that has
been used against me and against the
causa of God So it was given him
Well my friends that is not the first
or the last sword once used by giant
and Philistine iniquity which is to
come into tho possession of Jesus
Christ and of his glorious church I
want as well as God may help me
to show you that many a weapon
which has been used against the
armies of God is yet to be cap
lured and used on our side and I
only imitate David when I stretch out
my hand toward the blade of tho Phil
istine aud cry There is nouo liko
that give it mel
SCIENCE 13 SOXETOIIS FALSELY USED
I remark first that this is true in
regard to all scientific exploration
You know that the first discoveries in
astronomy and geology and chronol
ogy wero used to battlo Christianity
Worldly philosophy came out of its
laboratory and out of its observatory
and said Now we will prove by
tho very structure of tho earth and
by tho movement of the heavenly
bodies that the Uible is a lio and that
Christianity as wo have it among
men is a fjsitivc imposition Good
men trembled The telescope the
Leyden jars tho electric batteries all
in tho hands of tho Philistines But
one day Christianity looking about
for some weapon with which to de
feud itself happened to see tho very
old sword that these atheistic Philis
tines had been using against the truth
and cried out There is none liko
that give it me And Copernicus
and Galileo and Kepler and Isaac
Newton camo forth and told tho world
that in their ransacking of tho earth
and heaven they had found over
whelming presence of tho God whom
we worship and this old Bible began
to shako itself from the Koran aud
Shaster and Zcudavesta with which
it hail been covered up and lay on the
desk of the scholar and in the labor
atory of the chemist and in tho lap of
the Christian unharmed and unan
swered while tho towers of tho mid
night heavens struck a silvery chimo
in its pruioO
TUB WORDS OF WOBBLY PHILOSOPHY
Wordly philosophy said Matter is
eternal The world always was God
diduotmako it Christian philoso
phy plunges its crqwbar into rocks
and finds that tho world was gradual
ly made and if gradually made there
must have been some point at which
tho process started then who started
it and so that objection was overcome
and in tho first three words of the
Bible wo find that Moses stated a mag
nificent truth when he said In the
beginning
Worldly philosophy said Your
Biblo is a most inaccurate book all
that story in tho Old Testament again
and again told about tho army of the
locusts it is preposterous There is
nothing in the coming of tho locusts
liko an army An army walks lo
custs fly An army goes in order and
procession locusts without order
WaitI said Christian philosophy
and in 18C8 in tho southwestern part
of this country Christian men went
out to examine tho inarch of the lo
cust Thero are men right beforo
me who must have noticed in
that very part of the country
the coming up of the locust
liko an army and it was found that
all tho newspapers unwittingly spoke
of them as an army Why They
seem to have a commander They
march like a host They halt liko a
host No arrow ever went with
straightcr flight than tho locusts come
not even turning aside for tho wind
If tho wind rises the locusts drop and
then rise again after it has gone down
taking tho same line of march not
varying a foot Tho old Bible right
every time when it speaks of locusts
coming liko an army worldly phil
osophy wrong
Worldly philosophy said All that
story about the light turned as clay to
tho seal is simply an absurdity Old
time worldly philosophy said The
light comes straight Christian phi
losophy said Wait a little while
and it goes on and makes discoveries
and finds that tho atmosphere curves
and bend the rays of light around the
earth literally as the clay to tho seaL
Tho Bible right again worldly phi
losophy wrong again Ah says
worldly philosophy all that illusion
in Job about tho foundations of the
earth is simplyan absurdity Where
wast thou says God when 1 set the
foundations of the carthi Tho earth
has no foundations Christian phi
losophy comes and finds that tfco word
as translated foundation may be bet
ter translated sockets So now see
how it will read if it is translated
right Whero wast thou when I set
tho sockets of tho earth Vhero is
the socket It is tho hollow of Gods
hand a socket largo enough for any
world to turn in
QOD IS ALWAYS Eianr
Worldly philosophy said What
an absurd story about Joshua making
tho sun and moon stand still If the
world had stopped an instant the
whole universe would havo been out
of gear Stop said Christian phi
losophy not quitoso quick Tho
world has two motions ono on its own
axis and tho other around tbo sun It
was not necessary in making them
stand still that both motions should be
stopped only tho ono turning the
world on its own axis There was no
reason why tho halting of tho earth
should liavo jarred and disarranged
tho whole universe Joshua right and
God right infidelity wrong overy
time I knew it would be wrong I
thank God that tho time has come
when Christians need not be scared
at any scientific exploration The
fact is that religion and scienco have
struck band in eternal friendship and
tho deeper down geology can dig and
tho higher up astronomy can soar all
tho better for us Tho armies of ilia
Lord Jesus ChrisJ liavo formed tfea
y
observatories of the worlds science
and from the highest towers have
flung out tho banner of the cross and
Christianity tonight from the observ
atories of Albany and Washington
stretches out its hand toward tho oppos
ing scientific weapon crying There
is none liko that give it mel I was
reading this afternoon of Herschel
who was looking at a meteor througb
a telescope and when it camo over the
face of the telescope it was so powerful
ho had to avert his eyes Ami it has
been just su that many an astronomer
has gone into an oliscrvatory and
looked up into the midnight heavens
and tho Lord God has through some
swinging world flamed upon his vis
ion and tho learned man cried out
Who am I Undone I Unclean 1
Have mercy Lord God 1
A WOULD OF TRAVELEKS
Again I remark that the traveling
disposition of tho world which was
averse to morals and religion is to be
brought on our side The man that
went down to Jericho and fell amidst
thieves was a typo of a great many
travelers There is many a man who
is very honest at home who when he
is abroad has Ids honor filched and
his good habits stolen There aro but
very fow men who can stand tho stress
of an expedition Six weeks at a
watering place has damned many a
man fii the olden times God forbade
the traveling of men for the purposes
of trade because of tho corrupting influ
ences attending it A good many men
now cannot stand tho transition from
one place to another Some men who
seem to bo very consistent at homo in
the way of keeping the Sabbath when
they get into Spain on the Lords day
always go out to see tho bull fights
Plato said that no city ou ht to be
built nearer to tho sea than Ten miles
lest it bo tempted to commerce But
tins traveling disposition of tho world
which was ndverso to that which is
good is to be brought on our sido
These rail trains why they aro to
tako our Bibles these steamships they
are to transport our missionaries these
sailors rushing from city to city all
around the world are to bo converted
into Christian heralds and go out and
preach Christ among the heathen na
tions The Gospels aro infinitely mul
tiplied in beauty aud power since Rob
inson and Thompson and Burck
hardt have como back and talked to
us about Siloam and Capernaum and
Jerusalem pointing out to us tho lilies
about which Jesus preached the beach
upon which Paul was shipwrecked
the fords at which Jordan was passed
the Red sea bank on which were tossed
the carcasses of the drowned Egyptians
A man said I went to tho Holy
Land an infidel I camo back a Chris
tian I could not help it
I am not shocked at tho idea of
building a railroad to the Holy Land
I wish that all tho world might go and
see Golgotha and Bethlehem If we
cannot afford to pay for muleteers
now perhaps when tho rail train goes
wo can nil ord to buy a ticket from
Constantinople to Joppa and so we
let Christians travel I God Speed the
rail trains and guide tho steamships
this night panting across tho deep m
tho phosphorescent waka of the shining
feet of liim who om wavo cliff to
wavo clill trod Hid stormed Tiberias
Tho Japanese como across tho water
and see onr civilization aud examine
our Christianity and go back and toll

Whereer the hud
Dual hhi succours journeys run
And the firearms with which the
infidel truvelor brought down tho Arab

ert havo been surrendered to the

HEL10I0N GOOD FOR EVERY ONE
So it has also been with the learning
and tho eloquence of tho world Peo
ple say Religion is very ood for
women it is very good for children
but not for men But wo have in
tho roll of Christs host Mozart and
Handel in music Canova and Angelo
In sculpture Kapbael aud Roynolds
iu painting Harvey and Boerhaayo
in medicine Cowper and Soott in
poetry Crotius aud Burko in states
manship Boyle and Leibnitz in philos
ophy Thomas Chalmers aud John
Mason in theology Tho most bril
liant writings of a worldly nature
are all aglow with scriptural allu
sions Through senatorial speech aud
through essayist3 discourse Sinai
thunders and Calvary pleads and Si
loam sparkles
Samuel L Southard was mighty in
tho court room aud in the senate cham
ber but he reserved his strongest elo
quenco for that day when he stood be
foro the literary societies at Princeton
commencement and pleaded for the
grandeur of ourBible Daniel Wobster
won not his chief garlands while he
was consuming Hayno nor when he
opened the batteries of his eloquence
on Bunker Hill that rocking Sinai of
the American revolution but on that
day when in the famous Girard will
case ho showed his affection for the
Christian religion and eulogized tho
Biblo The eloquence and the learn
ing that havo been on the other side
came over to our sido Whero is Gib
bons historical pen Whero is Robes
pierres sword Captured for God
There is nono like that give it mel
So also has it been with tho pio
turo making of tho world Wo aro
very anxious on this day to havo tho
printing press and tho platform on the
sido of Christianity but we overlook
tho engravers knifo and the painters
pencil Tho antiquarian goes and
looks at pictured ruins or examines
tho chiseled pillars of Thebes and
Nineveh and Pompeii and then comes
buck to tell us of the beastliness of an
cient art aud it is ufaet now that
many of the finest specimens merely
artistically considered of sculpture
aud painting that are to bo found
amidst th < c rums are not fit to be
looked at and thev are locked up
How Paul must have felt when
standing amidst thosu impurities that
stared on iiiiu from the walls and the
pavements and thb bazars of Corinth
he preached of thu pure mid holy
Jesus Tho urt of tho world on tho
side of obscenity and criino aud death
In laterdays the palaces of kings were
adorned with pictures But what to un
clean Henry VHI was a beautiful pic
ture of tho Madonna What to Lord
Jeffries the unjust judge tho picture
of tho Last Judgment What to
Nero the unwashed a picture of tho
baptism iu the Jordan Tho art of
the world still on the sido of supersti
tion and death But that is being
changed now The Christian artist
goes across tho water looks at the
pictures and brings back to Ids Amer
ican studio much of tho power of
those old masters The Christian min
ister goes over to Venice looks at the
Cruoifixion of Christ and com s
back to his American pulpit to talk
as never beforo of the sulferings of
the Saviour The prlvato tourj t goes
to Romo and looks at Raphaels plo
turo of tho Last Judgment The
tears start and he goes back to his

THE POWER OF CHRISTIAN PICTURES
Our Sunday school newspapers and
walls are adorned with pictures of
Joseph in the court Daniel in the den
Shadrach in tho fire Paul in tho ship
wreck Christ on tho cross Oh that
will ret to see tho Holy Land Then
Onelittfesketch of Samuel kneeling
in praver will mean more to your chil
dren than twenty sermons ori devotion
Ono patient faco of Christ by tho hand
of tho artist will bo mora to your child
than fifty sermons on forbearance
Tho art of tho world is to bo taken fct
Christ What has become of Thor
waldsens chisel and Ghirlaudajo s
crayon Captured for the truth
Thero is nono liko that give it me
So I remark it ii with business acu
men and tact When Christ was upon
earth the people that followed him
for thu most part had no social pot
tion Thero was but one man natur
ally brilliant in all tho apostleahip
Joseph of Arimathoa tho rich man
risked nothing when ho offered a hole
in tho rock for tho dead ChrisL How
many of tho merchants in Asia Minoi
befriended Jesus I think of onlv one
Lydia How many of tlia castles on
the beach of Galilee entertained Christ J
Not ono When Peter came to JopKu
ho stopped with one Simon a tanner
What power had Christs name on tin
Roman exchange or in tho bazars of
Corinth None Tho prominent men
of tho day did not want to risk
their reputation for sanity by pre
tending to be one of Ins follow
crs Now that is all changed
Among tho mightiest men iu our
great cities today arc tho Christian
merchants and tho Christian bankers
and if tomorrow at the BoanI of
Trade any man should get up and
malign the name of Jesus he would
bo quickly silenced or put out In
tho front rank of all our Christian
workers today are tho Christian mer
chants and tho enterprises of the
world aro coming on tho right sido
Thero was a farm willed away some
years ago all the proceeds of that
farm to go for spreading infidel books
Somehow matters havo changed and
now all the proceeds of that farm go
toward tho missionary cause One of
tho finest printing presses ever built
was built for the express pur
pose of publishing infidel tracts
and books Now it does nothing but
print Holy Bibles I believe that the
time will como when in commercial
circles tho voice of Christ will bo tho
mightiest of all voices and tho ships
of Tarshish will bring presents and
the Queen of Sheba her glory and the
wise men of the east their myrrh and
frankincense 1 look oil upon the
business men of our cities and rejoin
at tho prospect that their tact and in
genuity and talent will after a while
all bo brought into tlie service of
Christ It will bo ono of tho mightiest
of weapons There is nono like that

out of this world everything
that is worth anything and there
will bo nothing but the scum left
A proclamation of amnesty goes
forth now from the throne of God
saying Whosoever will let him

Now and then a praying mantis

He has a round little mouth of the

such a climate and are a reproach to
languid mortals He climbs with
much difficulty up tho paper window
screon and totters along the ceiling
his great eyes gazing inquiringly at
tho queer haunt of man Suddenly he
loses his hold aud falls flop upon your

At once he puts his hands together

Herbert Spencer tho Kuglish phil
osopher who has gone deeply into so
ciological questions is at the head of
a league to secure railway reform in
Great Britain and his study of the
subject throws a good deal of light
into dark places According to his
statements tho history of English rail
ways sinco 1815 shows an elaborate
system of tactics by which the com
panies havo been exploited by thofuw
at tho cost of tho many He asserts
that within tho past decado thero has
been more corruption by railroads in
tho houso of commons than has ever
occurred iu tho federal or state legisla
tures of tho United States that today
there aro over ISO members of parlia
ment who aro simply agents of rail
roads and similar corporations and that
most of theso aro lawyers who havo
been elected by tho roads they serve
Theso members proclaim openly tho
number of votes they can control in
tho house Members of both houses
aro canvassed openly and railway
legislation is very costly Parliament
ary expenses have varied from 3000
to 15000 a mile most of which has
gone into tho pockets of parliament

tho opinion that tho Union Pacific

The faith of the enlightened Brah
min is on a very different level from
that of tho common people If you ask
concerning his own belief he will tell
you that he believes in one God ac
cording to his particular school ho be
lieves you that God is everything or
that ho unites with matter to become
everything All proceed from him
and all effort should be directed to ro
absorptiou into him Good acts tend
to this result by the gradual purifica
tion in successive incarnations of Kar
ma or the residuum of unconqucred
passions and unexpiated sins after
tleatlu Bad acts debase men more and
more What happens lo devil worshipers
and other such outcast races asked
a friend of mine They go to bell
was the prompt reply Observing my
look of astonishment at the sweeping
condemnation tho Brahmin with
whom wo wero talking took it to
indicato a doubt of tho accommoda
tion and hastened to add Oh wo
havo twenty thirty plenty of hells
Shiva Vishnu and tho other gods and
goddesses aro regarded as embodi
ments of tho various divine attributes
or incarnations to reveal tho divine
will and to deliver men from evil
JIany Brahmins would havo no par
ticular objection to acknowledge
Christ in somo such way as this As
0110 said to 1110 do not know his
history as well as my own sacred
books but if what is told of him is
truo I believe that ho must havo been
a saint if not a divino incarnation
Another thought that each l ieo had
its own revelation We ho said
havo Krishna you havo Christ
You say that your Christ was crucifi
ed our Krishna was shot It may
be said that such men as theso uro not
far from Christianity
On the contrary tho vice chancel
lor of tho Calcutta university aptly
compared a contest with them to the
encounter of Ctrur do Lion and Sala
diu in tho Talisman Tho sharp
sword of tho crusader is unavailing to
sever a silken cushion which adapts it
self lo overy stroke You ask why if
their own faith is so elevated they
leave tho masses to idol worship Ig
norant people ami females you aro
told cannot at ouco comprehend tho
universal presence We leach them
first that God is in tho imago so he is
for hu is everywhere and from that
wo go on to explain that he pervades
tho universe
It is doubtful if tho ignorant
pcoplo and females ever get beyond
the first stage One Hindoo ascetic
with an extraordinary Iovo of quota
tion and devotion to Thomas a Kem
pis cited not only Roman Catholic ar
guments but also Tyndalls Theory
of Atoms in defense of idol worship
Ho demonstrated thereby that noth
ing not oven tho leg of a table was
unchangeable that therefore the
divine olllucnco animated all things
and that the peifectly enlightened
mind could seo and worship the omni
