TALM AGE’S SERMON.
The Dangers that Burround the
Kingly Offloe Portrayed,
And Likened to the r»»*rere Met end
Conquered by the Lieutenant, of
Chrl.t — Thongh Many F»1A
the King Still Lire..
Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage was an
nounced to deliver the following sermon
In Paris,on his return trip from the Holy
Land. His text was:
Jchosheba. the Idaughter of King Joram,
Slater of Ahitzinh, took Joaah, the aon of
Ahnziah, and stole bim from among the
King'a aons which wore slain; anti they hid
bim, even him and his nurse. In the bed
chamber ftnm Athallah, so that he was not
slain. And he was with her hid in the house
of the Lord six years.—II. Kings, XL, 1, L
Grandmothers are more lenient with
their children's children than with their
own. At forty years of age, if disci
pline be necessary, chastisement is used,
but at seventy the grandmother, look
ing upon the misbehavior of the grand
child. is apologetic, and disposed to sub
stitute confectionery for whip. There
is nothing more beautiful than this mel
lowing of old ago toward childhood.
Grandmother takes out her pocket
handkerchief and wipes her spectacles
and puts them on, and looks down into
the face of the mischievous and reliel
lous descendant, and says: “I don't
think ho meant to do it; let him off
this time; I'll he responsible for his be
havior in the future.” My mother, with
the second o generation around her—a
boisterous crew—said one day: “I sup
pose they ought to be disciplined, but I
can’t do it. Grandmothers are not fit to
bring up children.” But here, in my
text, we have a grandmother of a differ
ent hue.
I have within a few days boon in Je
rusalem, where the occurrence of the
text took place, and the whole sceno
came vividly before me while I was go
ing over the site of the ancient temple
and climbing the towers of the King's
palace. Here in the text it is old Atba
liah, the queenly murderess. She ought
to have been honorable. Her father was
a King. And yot we find her plotting
for the extermination of the entire royal
family, including her own granacnn
dren. Tho executioners’ knives are
sharpened. The palace is red with
blood of l’rinces and Princesses. On all
sides are shrieks, and hands thrown up,
and struggle, and death groan. No
mercy! Kill! Kill! But while the ivory
floors of tho palace run with carnage,
and tho whole land is under the shadow
of a great horror, a fleet-footed woman,
a clergyman’s wife, Johosheba by name,
stealthily approaches the imperial
nursery, seizes up the grandchild that
bad somehow as yet escaped massacre,
wrapped it up tenderly but in haste,
snuggles it against her, flies down tho
palace stairs, her heart in her throat
lest she bo discovered in this Christian
aMuction. Get her out of tho way as
soon as you can, for she carries a precious
burden, even a young King. With this
youthful prize she presses into tho room
of the anoiefit temple, the church of
olden time, unwraps tho young King
and puts him down, sound asleep as he
Is, and unconscious of the peril that has
been threatened; and there for six years
he is secreted in that church apartment.
Meanwhile old Athaliah smacks her
lips with satisfaction, and thinks that
all the royal family are dead.
But the six years expire, and it is now
time for young Joash to come forth a&d
take tho throne, and to push back ijjw
disgrace and death old Athaliah. Tne
arrangements are all made for political
revolution. The military come and
take possession of the temple, swear loy
alty to the boy Joash and stand around
for liis defense. See the sharpened
swords and the burnished shields!
Every thing is ready. Now, Joash, half
affrighted at the armed tramp of his
defenders, scared at the vociferation of
his admirers, is brought forth in full re
galia. The scroll of authority is put in
his hands, the coronet of government is
put on his brow, and the people clapped,
and waved, and huzzaed, and trumpeted.
“What is that?” said Athaliah. “ What
is that sound over in the temple?”
And she flies to see, and on her w’ay
Ihoy meet her and say: “Why, haven’t
you heard? You thought you had slain
all they royal family, but Joash has
come to light.”
Then tho queenly murderess, frantic
with rage, grabbed her mantle and tore
it to tatters, and cried until she foamed
at the mouth:
“Y'ou have no right to crown my
frandson. Y'ou have no right to take
the government from my shoulders.
Treason! Treason!”
While she stood there crying that,the
military started for her arrest, and she
took a short cut through a back door of
the temple and ran through the royal
itables; but the battle axes of the mili
ary fell on her in the barn-yard, and
lor many a day, when the horses were
being unloosed from tho chariot, after
lrawing out young Joash, tho fiery
itceds would sport and rear passing the
place, as they smelt the place of the
iarn&gc.
The first thought I hand you trom
khis subject is that the extermination of
righteousness is an impossibility. When
t woman is good, she is apt to be very
food, and when she is bad, she is apt to
be very bad, and this Athaliah was one
t»f the latter sort. She would extermi
nate the last scion of the House of
David, through whom Jesus was to
some. There was plenty of work for
embalmersand undertakers. She would
slear the land of all God-fearing and
God-loving people. She would put an
end to every thing that could in anywise
Interfere w’ith her imperial criminality.
She folds her hands and says: “The
work is done; it is completely done.” Is
it? In the swaddling clothes of that
ihurch apartment are wrapped the cause
of God, and the cause of good govern
ment. That is the scion of the house
of David; it is Joash, the Christian re
former; it is Joa$h, the friend of God;
It is Joash, the demolisher of Baalitish
idolatry. Rock him tenderly; nurse
him gently. Athaliah, you may kill all
the other children, but you can not kill
him. Eternal defenses are thrown all
around him, and this clergyman's wife,
Jehosheba, will snatch him up from the
palace nursery, and will run up and
down with him into the house of the
Lord, and there she will hide him for
six years, and at the end of that time
he will come forth for your dethrone
ment ind obliteration.
Well, my friends, just as poor a botch
ioes the world always make of extin
guishing righteousness. Superstition
rises up and aays: “I will just put an
end to pure religion.” Domitian slew
forty thousand Christians. Diocletian
Slew eight hundred and forty-four thou
sand Christians. And the scythe of
persecution has been swung through all
the ages, and the flames hissed, and the
I guillotine chopped, and the Baatile
groaned, but did the foes of Christianity
I exterminate it? Bid they exterminate
Alban, the first British sacrifice; or
Zuinglius. the Swiss reformer; or John
Oldcsstle, the Christian nobleman; or
Abdallah, the Arabian martyr: or Anne
Askew, or Sanders, or Cranmer? Great
work of extermination they made of it.
Just at tho time when they thought
they had slain all the royal family of
Jesus, some Jossh would spring up and
out, and take the throne of power and
wield a very scepter of Christian domin
ion.
Infidelity says: “I’ll Just exterminate
tho Bible.” and the Scriptures wore
thrown into the street for the tnob to
trample on, and they were piled up in
the public squares and sot on fire, and
mountains of indignant cdbtompt were
hurled on them, and learned universi
ties decreed the Bible out of existence.
Thomas Paine said: "In my ‘Age of
Reason' 1 have annihilated the Script
ures. Your Washington is a pusillan
imous Christian, but I am tho foe of
Bibles and of churches.
O, how many assaults upon that
Word! All tho hostilities that havo
ever been created on earth are not to bo
compared with the hostilities against
that one Book. Said one man, in his
infidel desperation, to his wife: "You
must not be reading that Bible,” and
ho snatched it away from her her. And
though in that Bible was a lock of
hair of the dead child—tho only child
that God had ever given them—he
pitched the book with its contents into
tho fire, and stirred It with the tongs,
and spat on it, and cursed it, and s»id:
"Susan, never have any more of that
damnable stuff here!”
How many individual and organized
attempts have boon made to extermi
nate that Hible! Have they done it?
nave they exterminated the American
Hible Society? Have they exterminated
the British and Foreign Bible Society?
Have they exterminated tho thousands
of Christian institutions, whose only
object it is to multiply copies of the
Scriptures, and throw them broadcast
around the world? They have extermi
nated until instead of one or tw o copies
of the Bible in our houses we have eight
or ten, and we pile them up in the corners
of our Sabbath-school rooms, and send
great boxes of them everywhere. If they
get on as well as they are now going
on in the work of extermination, I do
not know but that our children may live
to see the millennium! Yea, if there
should come a timo of persecution in
which all the known Bibles of the earth
should be destroyed, jll these lamps of
light that blaze in our pulpits and in
our families extinguished—in tho very
day that infidelity and sin should be
holding a jubilee over the universal ex
tinction. there would be in some closet
of a backwoods church a secroted copy
of the Bible, and this Joash of eternal
literature would como out and como up
and take the throne, and the Atlialiah
of infidelity and persecution would fly
out of the back door of the palaco and
drop her miserable carcass under tho
hoofs of the horsos of the King’s stables.
You can not exterminate Christianity!
You can not kill Joash!
The second thought I hand you from
my subject is, that thero are opportuni
ties in which wo may save royal life.
You know that profane history is re
plete with stories of strangled mon
archs and of young Princes w’ho have
been put out of the way. Here is the
story of a young King saved. How Jo
hosheba, the clergyman's wife, must
have trembled as she rushed into the
imperial nursery and snatched up Joash.
How she hushed him, lest by his cry he
hinder his escape. Fly w’ith him! Je
hosheba, you hold in your arms the
cause of God and good government.
Fail, and he is slan. Succeed, and you
turn the tide of the world's history in
the right direction. It seems as if be
tween that young King and his assas
sins there is nothing but tho frail arm
of a woman. But why should we spend
our time in praising this bravery of ex
pedition when God asks the same thing
of you and me? All aneund us are the
imperiled children of a great King.
They are born of Almighty parentage,
and will como to a throne or a crown, if
permitted. But sin, the old Athaliah,
goes forth to tho massacre. Murderous
temptations are out fur tho assassina
tion. Yalens, the Emperor, was told
that there was somebody in his realm
who would usurp his throne, and that
l tho name of the man who should be the
usurper would begin with tho letters T.
II. K. O. D., and the edict went forth
from tho Emperor’s throne: “Kill
every body whose name begins with T.
II. E. O. D.” And hundreds and thou
sands were slain, hoping by that massa
cre to put an end to that one usurper.
But sin is more terrific in its denuncia
tion. It matters not how you spell your
name, you como under its knife, u»der
its sword, under its doom, unless there
be some omnipotent relief brought to
the rescue. But, blessed bo God, there
is such a thing as delivering a royal soul.
Wlp) will snatch away Joash?
This afternoon, in your Sabbath
school class, there will be a 1’rince of
God—some one who may yet reign as
King forever before the throne; there
will be some one in your class who has a
corrupt physical inheritance; there will
be some one in your class who has a
father and mothc .• who do not know
how to pray; there will be some one in
your class who is destined to command
in church or State—some Cromwell to
dissolve a parliament, some Beethoven
to touch the world’s harp strings, some
John Howard to pour fresh air into the
lazaretto, some Florence Nightingale to
bandage the battle wound, some Miss
Dix to soothe the crazed brain, some
John Frederick Oberlin to educate the
besotted, some David Brainard, to
change the Indian's war whoop to a Sab
bath song, some John Wesley to marshal
three-fourths of Christendom, some
John Knox to make Queens turn pale,
some Joash to demolish idolatry and
strike for the Kingdom of Heaven.
There are sleeping in your cradles by
night, there are playing in your nurs
eries by day, imperial souls waiting for
dominion, and whichever side the cradle
they get out will decide the destiny of
empires. For each one of those chil
dren sin and holiness con tend—Athaliah
on the one side and Jehosheba on the
other. But 1 hear people say:
“What’s the use of bothering children
with religious instruction? Let them
grow up and choose for themselves.
Don’t interfere with their volition.”
Supposo some one had said to Jeho
sheba:
“Don’t interfere with that young Jo
ash. Let him grow up and decide
whether he likes the palace or not,
whether he wants to be King or not.
Don’t disturb his volition.” Jehosheba
knew right well that unless that day
the young King was rescued, he would
never be rescued at all.
I tell you, my friends, the reason wa
don’t reclaim all our children twa
worldliness is because we begin too l»t«.
Parents wait until their children lie he*
fore they teach them the value of truthi
They wait until their children swea»
before they teach them the importance
of righteous conversation. They wait
until their children are all wrapped up
in this world before they tell them of a
better world. Too late with your
prayers. Too late with your discipline.
Too late with your benediction. You
put all care upon your children l*tween
twelve and eighteen. Why do you not
put the chief care between four and
nine?
Jt is tco lato to repair a vessel when
it has got out of the dry docks. It
is too late to save Joash after
tho executioners have broken in.
May 1 >«1 arm us all for this work of
snatching royal squIs from death to
coronation. Can you imagine any sub
limer work than this soul-saving! That
was what flushed Paul’s cheek with en
thusiasm: that was what led Munson to
risk his life amid llorneslan cannibals;
that was what sent l)r. Abel to preach
under the consuming skies of China;
that was what gave courage to Phocus
in the third century. When the mili

for Christ's sake, ho put thorn to bod
that they might rest while ho himself
went out and in his own garden dug his
grave, and thon came back and said: “I
am ready;" but they wore shocked at the
idea of taking the life of their host. lie
said; “It is the will of God that I should
die,” and he stood on tho margin of his
own grave and they beheaded him. You
say it is a mania, a foolhardiness, a
fanaticism, ltather would I call it a
glorious self-abnegation, the thrill of
eternal satisfaction, the plucking of
Josiah from death, and raising him to
coronation.
Would God that we were as wise as
.lehosheha, and knew that the church of
God is the best hiding place. Perhaps
our parents took us there in early days;
they snatched us away from the world
and hid us behind the baptismal fonts
and amid the lliblcs and the psalm
books. O, glorious inclosure! Wo have
been breathing his breath of the golden
censers all the time, and we have seen
the lamb on the altar and wo have
handled the plants which arc tho pray
ers of all saints, and we have dwelt un
der the wings of tho cherubim. Glori
ous inclosure! When my father and
mother died, and tho property was set
tled up, there was hardly any thing loft;
hut they endowed us with a property
worth more than any earthly possession,
because they hid us in the temple. And
when days of temptation have come
upon my soul I have gone there for shel
ter; and when assaulted of sorrows I
have gone there for comfort, and tber*
I mean to live. I want, like Joash, t*.
stay there until coronation. I mean U
be buried out of tho house of God.
I tell you there is not more than on*
man out of a thousand that appreciate!
what the church is. Where are the
souls that put aside one-tenth for Chris
tian institutions—one-tenth of their in
come? Where are those who, having put
aside that one-tenth, draw upon it cheer
fully? Why, it is pull, and drag, and
hold on, and grab, and clutch; and giv
ing is an affliction to most people when
it ought to be an exhilaration and a
rapture. Oh, that God would remodel
our souls on this subject, and that we
might appreciate the house Go<l as
the great refuge. If your children are
to come up to lives of virtue and happi
ness, they willcorno up under the shadow
of the church. If the church does not
get them the world will.
An, wnen you pass away—ana n win
not be long before you do—when you
pass away it will bo a satisfaction to
see your children in Christian society.
You want to have them sitting at the
holy sacraments. You want them min
gling in Christian associations. You
would like to have them die in the sa
cred precincts. When you are on your
dying bed, and your little ones come up
to take your last word, and you look in
to their bewildered faces, you will want
to leave them under the church's bene
diction. I don’t care how hard you
are, that is so. I said to a man
of the world: “Your son and
daughter are going to join our
Church next Sunday'. Have you any
objections?” “lUess you,” he said, “ob
jections? I wish all my children be
longed to the Church. I don’t attend
to those matters myself—I know I am
very wicked—but 1 am very glad they
are going, and I shall be there to see
them. I am very glad, sir; I am very
glad. I want them there.” And so,
though you may have been wanderers
from God, and though you may have
sometimes caricatured the church of
Jesus, it is your great desire that your
sons and daughters should bo standing
all their lives within this sacred iiydos
ure.
More than that, you yourself will
want the church for a hiding place when
the mortgage is foreclosed, when your
daughter, just blooming into woman
hood, suddenly clasps her hands in a
slumber that knows no waking, when
gaunt irouuiu wants uiruugu me panur,
and the sitting-room, and the dining
hall, and the nursery, you will want
some shelter from the tempest. Ah,
some of you have been run upon by mis
fortune and trial; why do you not come
into the shelter? I said to a widowed
mother after she had buried her only
son—months after I said to her:
“IIow do you get along nowadays?”
“Oh,” she replied, “I get along toler
ably well, except when the sun shines.”.
I said: “What do you mean by that?”
when she said:
“I can’t bear to see the sun shine; my
heart is so dark that all the brightness
of the natural world seems a mockery
to me.” O, darkened soul! O, broken
hearted man, broken-hearted woman,
why do you not come into the shelter?
I swing the door wide open. I swing it
from wall to wall. Como in! Come in!
You want a place where your troubles
shall be interpreted, where your bur
dens shall be unstrapped, where your
tears shall be wiped away.
Church of God, be a hiding place to
all these people. Give them a seat
where they can rest their weary souls.
Flash some light from your chandeliers
upon their darkness. With some sooth
ing hymn hush their griefs. O, Church
of God, gate of Heaven, let me go
through it! All other institutions are
going to fall; but the Church of God—its
foundation is the “Rock of Ages,” its
charter is for everlasting years, its
keys are held by the universal proprie
tor, its dividend is Heaven, its presiden*
is God! *' •J'<
Bare as tby truth shall last,
To Zion shall be given
The brightest glories earth can yield,
And brighter bliss of Heaven.

82,500 REWARD FOR A LOST CAT.
The equivalent in English money of $2,500 was once offered by
an old lady in London for the return of a favorite cat, which had
strayed or been stolen. People called her a “ crank,” and perhaps sho
was. It is unfortunate that one of the gentler sex should ever gain
this title, yet many do. It is, however, frequently not their fault.
Often functional derangements will apparently change a woman’s
entire nature. Don’t bljmie such sufferers if they-are “cranky,” but
tell them to use Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription, which is an infallible
remedy for “ female weaknesses.”
“Favorite Prescription” has cured thousands of poor bed-ridden
suffering women of “ female weakness,” painful irregularities, ulcera
tions, organic displacements and kindred ailments too numerous to
mention. It is the only medicine for women, sold by druggists, under
a positive guarantee that it will, in every case, give satisfaction or the
price ($1.00) will be refunded. A Book of 160 pages, on diseases
which “ Favorite Prescription ” cures, sent sealed, in plain envelope, on
receipt of ten cents in stamps.
