TALM AGE’S SERMON.
Tha Brooklyn Preacher Talks About
"Crooked Things."
There li No Ileaotj In Crooked Things,
Neither la l.aw. Government or
Individual IMspneltlon — Tho
fit mightrn Ing rrocesa.
Rev. T. PoWitt Talmago delivered
tho following discourse on “Crooked
Things" in the Brooklyn Academy of
Music, taking for his text:
Tbe crooked shall be inado straight—
Xsainh xl.. L
Geometry, from tho time it was discov
ered oa the banks of the Nile, which,
by its overflow annually obliterated tbe
landmarks, and the restorations of
these land-marks made such a science
necessary—I say, geometry, every
since thon has been busy with lines,
straight lines, curved lines, lines in
angles and cones and spheres, but has
never been able to evolve any beauty
from a lino that was merely crooked.
The circle and tho square wore always
considered admirable. Isaiah recog
nizes the circle and says: "Tho Lord
sits upon tho circle of the earth.” The
altar of tho ancient tabernacle was
“four square,” and the breastplato of
the priests “four square,” and Heaven,
and St. John, is "four square." But the
Bible has no admiration for lines that
are merely crooked. Indeed, my text
in prophesying tbe world's comploto
rectification declares: “Tho crooked
shall be made straight."
mere havo hoen somany moral earth
quakes that many thing havo got into
a terrible twist—crooked laws, crooked
governments, crooked fortunes, crooked
dispositions—and many of the efforts to
straighten things have only made them
more crooked. And some good people
sit down in despair and become pessi
mistic and givo ud life and tho
church as dead failures. With such
a lachrymose behavior I havo no sym
pathy. It is a promise of the Lord
Almighty. “The crooked shall be made
straight.” I propose, as I may bo di
vinely helped, to mention somo of the
crooked things that are going to bo
straightened.
Much of the wealth of tho world is in
the hands of the profligate, while many
of the best people are subjected to dis
tressing privation; and there is going
to bo a redistribution of property. If it
were possible, it would be a bad thing
to have things divided equally. Some
men are able to endure more success
than others, and prosperity that might
not unbalance you might destroy me.
The Declaration of American Independ
ence declares that all men are born
equal, but tho opposito is tho truth, for
they are born unequal. In no respect is
this more evident than in their capacity
to endure success, financial or social. I
have seen men by the acquisi
tion of $50,000 made arrogant
and overbearing, and I have
known others with their mill
ions of dollars childlike and unassum
ing and Christian. We would all bo
affluent, but tho Lord can not trust us.
I am glad there are those Ho can trust.
Much is said against capitalists, but the
world would bo a very shaky world with
out them. Who built tho great rail
roads which, while they give such
facilities of travel, employ tens of
thousands of laborers, supporting them
and their families? Capitalists. Who
built great ships that stir tho rivers
and bridgo tho ocean? Capitalists.
Who reared the thousands of factories
all over the land in which hundreds of
thousands of employes earn their daily
bread? Capitalists. Who endowed
your colleges, and opened free libraries,
and built asylums for tho orphan, the
crippled and the insane? Capitalists!
Hut for them there would not be an
academy of music, or a picture gal
lery, or a free library or a steamboat,
or a railroad in America. Who put tho
world on seventy-uve years beyond
what it wTould havo been in enterprise,
in comforts, in eductional advantage, in
good things without number? Capital
ists! The more money a man gets the
better if it come honestly and is em
ployed righteously. Nevertheless we
all see that there needs to be a redis
tribution of property. Communism
proposes to make that distribution by
torch and dagger and dynamite. Throw
tho mid-night express train off the
track and put the factory into conflagra
tion. Disrupt society. Burglarize.
Assassinate. »uen peop.e ueneve
neither in God, nor man nor woman,
and they know how to make things
worse, but never bave made and never
can make any thing better.
I tell you how there will come a re
distribution of property. Under the Di
vine blessing good people will get more
alertness and accumen and assiduity.
Many good people are kept in straigh
ened circumstances because they are in
dolent or lacked courage to take honest
advantage of circumstances, and were
too stupid to get on. With the very
same surroundings others went on to
competency. In the betterdays tocomo
good men will have their faculties
awakened, and will in consequence
rise to larger share of prosperity.
On the other hand, estates wrong
fully accumulated will dissolve. If
not the sons then the grand
sons will mako the money fly, aLd it
will gradually scatter in their hands
and become a part of the general
wealth. Then, as to vast properties
righteously gathered—and there are
thousands of them—such estates will
contribute toward help.ng the unfortu
nate, not more by charities than by
helping struggling people into lucra
tive business, and the man who has
amassed enough and a surplus will say:
"There is a young merchant without
any capital, I will start him on
Fulton street,” and "There is a
young mechanic who has no
means of bis own, and I will
put him on a career of prosperity,” and
“There is a farmer with to big a mort
gage on his land, and I will help him
lift the incumbrance.” The fact is,
that if the kindliness and generosity
manifested by moneyed men toward the
struggling during the last fifty years
increases in the same ratio for the next
fifty years, there will be a condition of
society paradisiac. We are going to
have a multiplication of William E.
Dodges, and Peter Coopers, and James
Lenoxes and George Peabodys. So will
come redistribution, and the crooked
will be made straight
Mind this: God never yet unaortooK a
failure. The old Book, which is worth
all other books put together, makes it
plain that God has undertaken to regu
late this world by Gospel influences,
and if He has the power He will do
what He says Ho will, and no one who
amounts to any thing will deny His
t>owor. God has said a hundred times:
•*X will," but never onoe has said, “I
o*u bwu” We a j with ear twit-hem- ]
oner* pound away, trying to mend and
improvo and straighten the financial
condition of the would, and be
disappointed in the result, because our
arm is too weak and the hammer wo
wield too small, but the most defiant
difficulty will flatten and disappear when
God, with a hammer made of summer
thunderbolts, strikes it, saying: "Tho
crooked shall bo made straight”
In your business concerns there are
influences perplexing. Your affairs
may seem all right to outsiders, for bus
iness firms do not advortise their
private troublos, but where one firm
has everything just as they want it
there are a hundred firms at their wits’
end what to do with that partner who
draws more than his share of tho
profits, or with that stockholder who
comes in just often enough to upsot
things, or with that disappearance of
funds which you can not account for,
although you havo suspicious you can
not mention, or with that investment
which was made contrary to your Judg
ment because thero was a deter
mination to push it through, or
because you aro going behind
month by month without any pros
pect of extrication. The trouble is put
ting a wrinklo on your forehead that
ought not to appear thero for years yet,
and you will be forty years old when
you ought to be only thirty, or sixty
when you ought bo fifty, or seventy
when you ought to be only sixty. Stop
worrying. Either by the dissolution of
that firm, or by readjusting matters,
you will bo brought safoly through if
you put your trust in God. When com
mereial houses fail the suspension is
advertised, but of the tens of thousands
of men who are every day extricated
no public mention is made. Yester
day was Saturday, and I warrant
that at the windows of banks, and in
counting room of stores and on every
street of every city, God anpeared for
tho deliverance of good men, as cer
tainly as when with His right foot He
trod Lake Galilee into placidity and
made Daniel as safe among the lions ts
though they had been house dogs
asleep on a rug before a winter’s fire.
Throw yourself on the promise of the
text, or a hundred other texts meaning
about tho same thing.
1 never yet asked God to do any thing
but lie did it if it were best, and in all
the cases where my prayor has notbeon
answored I havo found out afterward
that it was best not to have been an
swered in my way. But none of us
havo tested the full power of prayer.
It is a force very like some of tho forces
of nature, that were in existence, but
not employed. For ages electricity was
thought good for nothing but to burn
barns and kill people with fell stroke.
The lightning rods on the tops of houses
was tho speor with which the world
charged on the thunderstorm, as much
as to say: “If you dare come this way I
will hurl you into the ground.” But
now electricity lightens houses, and
churches, and cities, and Christendom,
and moves rail cars, and he is a rash
man who mentions any thing as impos
sibla to this natural energy.
So the power of prayer was to the
world rather a frightful power, if it was
any power at all. But that has been
changed, and men begin to use it in
some things, and tho time will coma
when it will be used in all things, and
tbero will be a Bible in every counting
room, and supplication will ascend
from every commercial establishment,
and when business firms are formed the
question will not only be asked as to
how much this one and that ono put in
of capital, but the question will be
asked: “Do you know how to pray?”
Mightier agent than any natural force
yet developed will be this Gospel
electricity, flashing heavonward for
hclD, flashing earthward with Di
vino response. God in busi
ness life. God in agricultural
lifo. God in mechanical life. God
in artistic life. God in every kind of
life. Your religion for tho most part is
hung up so high you can not reach it
It is hung up on tho cloudy raftdrs of
the sky, where you expect to snach it
up as you finally go through for heav
leny residence. Oh, have your religion
within easy reach now! Religion is not
for Heaven, but for this world. Once in
Heaven, wo will need no prayer for we
shall have every thing wo want We
will need no repentance, for we shall
forever got rid of our sins. Wo shall
havo no need of comfort, for there will
bo no trouble. Tho Christian religion
is not for Heaven where every thing is
all right, but for this world whore so
many things are all wrong.
Washington Aliston, whose name you
recognize as that of a great American
painter, was reduced to extremo pover
ty, and one day got on his knees and
asked for a loaf of bread for himself
and starving family. While ho was
bowed down in that prayer there was a
knock at tho door and a man came in
and said: “Ilow about your painting,
tho ‘Angel Uriel,’ that received tho
prize at tho lloyal Academy? Has it
been sold?" “No,” said Aliston.
“How much do you want for
it?” Aliston replied: “1 am done
fixing a price, for I can not get it”
Will four hundred ptunds bo enough?”
asked tho stranger. "Why, that is
more than I asked,” said Aliston. The
four hundred pounds (two thousand dol
lars) were paid and tho purchaser in
troduced himself as Mr. Marquis, of
Stafford, who thereafter was one of the
most liberal patrons of tho rescued
artist "Oh, that all just happened so!”
Did it? Tell that to some ignorant man,
some benighted woman, who has never
read tho promise: "Call upon Me in
tho day of trouble. 1 will deliver thee,’’
or that other promise: "Tho crooked
shall be made straight”
“Well,” says one, "you don't apply
this in every direction.” Yes, I do.
Take the most uncertain thing on earth
—the weather. Tho Bible distinctly
says that prayer controls the woather.
James fith and eighteenth: "Elijah
was a man subject to like passions as
we are, and he prayed earnestly
that it might not rain, and it
rained not on the earth for the space of
three years and six months; and he
prayed again and the heavens gave
rain.” Do you say that was the weather
of olden time? ThOro have been in
stances in modern times just as marvel
ous. Thero’s not a Christian ship
captain but could give you in
stances of Divine interference with
the weather in answer to prayer.
It has been my pood fortune to know
many Christian ship captains. They are
in all our services. They leave their
vessels on Sunday mornings and join us
in worship. 1 warrant there are enough
of them present this morning to take a
whole fleet in safety across the Atlantia
Whenever I heard them testify, it has
mightily confirmed me in what I knew
before, that God answers prayer con
cerning the weather. And there have
been cyclones that started up from the
Caribbean Sea, yeejdng down evarj
sail and every smokestack and every
mast In their course, which in
answer to speciflo petition have
been diverted and made to curve
around some particular ship, leaving
that in calm waters, and them resum
ing their original path of destruction.
The weather probabilities again and
again have announced a tempest, ami
we were ready for it, but, to the sur
prise of most people, the next day ws
saw the announcement that the atmos
pheric fury had changed its course.
The probability Is it struck a prayer
and glancod off. If Elijah’s prayer
affected the weathor of Palestine for
forty-two months, I should think some
body now might have a prayer that
would affect it for a couple of days.
John Easter was many years ago an
evangelist in Virginia. A large out
door meeting was being hold in that
Statn Many thousands had assembled
in the open air and hoavy storm-clouds
began to gathpr. Thero was no shelter
to which the multitudes could retreat.
The rain had already roached the a d
joining fields when John Easter cried
out: "Brethren, be still while I call
upon God to stay the storm till the Gos
pel is preached to this multitude."
Then ho knelt and prayed that the
audience might bo spared from the
rain and that after thoy had gone
to their homes thero might come re
freshing showers. Behold the clouds
parted as thoy catne near and passed to
either side of the crowd and then closed
again, leaving the place dry where the
audience had assembled, and the next
day the postponed showers came upon
the ground that had been tho day be
foro omitted. Do you say it only hap
pened so? I can not soo what you keep
your Bibles for, and the God you wor
ship is not my God. Your God is an au
tocrat, and Ho is so far off and so far up
that tho world can not touch Him, and
His throna is an iceberg. My God is a
father, hero and now, and a father
will givo his child what ho asks
for if it is be3t for him to
have it Pray about every thin?
that concerns you, seeularities as well
as spiritualities. Tako to God all your
annoyances and perplexities. Tho
crooked shall be mado straight Soroo
peoplo talk as though God controled
things in goneral, but not in particu
lar; that Ho startod everything under
certain laws, and then let it tako care
of itself, as an engineer might start his
locomotive on an iron railroad track
and then jump off. What would hap
pen to such a locomotive is what would
long ago have happoned to our world if
God had started it and afterward al
lowed it too look out for itself. There
is no such thing as a general provi
dence. It is a particular providence.
God has no general caro for a forest It
is a caro of every cell, of every loaf
and root in that forest God has no
general care of tho ocean. It is a care
of every drop of water in the liquid
magnitude. God has no general caro
for tho human race. It is a caro of
every individual of that race and of
overy item of individual history. I
preach Him, a God in infinitesimals,
an every-day God. a God responsive,
and one breath of earnest prayer,
though that breath should not bo
strong enough tomako a candle flicker,
will absorb more of tho Divine attention
than if tho archangel standing at tho
foot of tho throno should flap both
wings.
It is remarkablo how many crooked
things aro in the providence of God be
ing mado straight. About thirty years
ago our National affairs were as crooked
as depraved Amorican politics and bad
men and Satan could make them. From
tho top of Maine to tho foot of Florida,
tho Nation was rod with wrath. It was
wrangle and fight all tho way through,
and one of tho mildest things that the
North and South promised each other
was assassination. During this sum
mer I have traveled through New
York, and Ohio, and Illinois,
and Indiana, and Minnesota, and
Kansas, and Nobraska, and Mis
souri, and Texas, and Louisiana, and
Georgia, and North and South Carolina,
and Virginia, and Pennsylvania, and 1
have shaken hands with tons of thou
sands of peoplo, and talked with men of
all sections and dogrees, and I have to
tell you it is all peace, and in all the
States of the Union you could not now
marshal a military company of one hun
dred soldiers to light against tho United
States Government, unless you got your
men oat of tho penitontiary. Did tho
corrupt and gangrened political parties
do this work of rectification and pacifica
tion? No! It was by Divino interposi
tion tiiat the crooked has been mado
straight.
“Oh," says some ono, “the crook in
my lot you have not mentioned, and 1
sit clear outside of all tho consolations
you have offered.” Well, I will take
after you with Gospel comfort, and
reach you before I close. Do you think
your wound is so deop the Divine sur
geon can not treat it? Have you a
trouble that overmasters God? Is your
annoyanco of such a nature that you
must suppress it? Ah, that is
what is killing you. Trouble must
bo told, or it stings to death
the one who carries it. If thero is no
man or woman that you can trust with
the secret, you can trust God. Hie away
to Him. Tell Him all about it. Lock
your door and tell Him aloud, and if
you do not get relief you will bo tho
first soul in the six thousand years of
the world’s existence, and the only one
of tho hundreds of millions of tho
human race who over callod on God
for help and did not get it. In all tho
univorse, in all eternity, there is
not an exception. Stop brooding and
commence praying. .1 bless my God
that, while there are so many
crooked things in life, there are some
things so straight God Himself could
not make them straighter. Divine help
comes straight to those who will have
it. The angels of mercy fly straight
when they undertake a rescue. The
hour of your final deliverance marches
straightoutof the eternities. And as tha
carpenter puts down his rule on a pieco
of timber, and with his axo hews away
until the last inequality and irregulari
ty disappears, so whon God in the last
great day shall put down His unfailing
measuring rule beside that event which
seemed the most twisted in our lives in
the world, it will bo found out the last
wrong has been righted, and tho last
crooked thing has been made straight
