lu this discourse Dr. Talmage de
scribes some of the scours to be wit
nessed late at night in the great cit
ies and warns the unwary of many
perils; text, Isaiah 21, 11: “Watchman,
what of tin- night?”
When night came down on 11a by Ion,
Nineveh and Jerusalem they needed
careful watching; otherwise the incen
diury's torch might have been thrust
into the very heart of the metropolitan
splendor, or enemies, marching from
the hills, might have forced the gates.
All night long, on top of the wall and
in front of the gates, might be heard
the measured step of the watchman on
his solitary beat. Silence hung in air,
save as some passerby raised the ques
tion: “Watchman, what of the night?”
It is to me a deeply suggestive and
solemn thing to see a man standing
guard by night, it thrilled through
me as at the gate of an arsenal in
Charleston the question once smote
me: “Who comes there?” followed by
the sharp command: “Advance and
give the countersign.” Every moral
teacher stands on picket or patrols
the wall as watchman, llis work is to
sound the alarm, and. whether It be in
the first watch, the second watch, in
the third watch or in the fourth watch,
to be vigilant until the daybreak flings
its “morning glories” of blooming
cloud across the trellis of the day.
The ancients divided their night
into four parts—the first watch, from
C to 9; the second, from 9 to 12; the
third, from 12 to 3, and the fourth,
from 3 to 6. 1 speak now of the city
in the third watch, from 12 to 3 o’clock.
I never weary of looking upon the
life of the city in the first watch. That
is the hour when the stores are clos
ing. The laboring men, having quitted
the scaffolding and the shop, are on
their way home. It rejoices me to
give them my seat in the city car. They
have stood and hammered away all
day. Their feet are weary. They are
exhausted with the tug of work. They
are mostly cheerful. With appetites
sharpened on the swift turner’s wheel
und the carpenter’s whetstone they
seek the evening meal. The clerks,
too, have broken away from the coun
ter and with brain weary of the loug
line of figures and the whims «>f those
who go a-shopping, seek the face of
mother or wife or child. The streets
are thronged with young men setting
out from the great centers of bargain
making. Let idlers clear the street
and give right of wuy to the besweated
artisans and merchants! They have
earned their bread and are now on
their way to get it. The lights in full
jet hang over 10.000 evening repasts—
the parents at. either end of the table,
the children between. Thank God.
“who setteth the solitary in families.”
A few hours later and all the places
of amusement, good and bad, are in
full tide. Lovers of art, catalogue in
hand, stroll through the galleries and
discuss the pictures. The ballroom is
resplendent with the rich apparel of
those \\ ho, on eit her side of t he white,
gl is tening boards, await t he sign a I f rom
the orchestra. Concert halls are lift
ed into enchantment with the warble
of one songstress or swept out on a
sea of tumultuous feeling by the blast
of brazen instruments. Drawing
rooms are filled with all the graceful
ness of apparel, with all sweetness of
sound, with all splendor of manner;
mirrors are catching tip and multi
plying the scene, until it seems as if
in infinite corridors there were gar-|
landed troop* advancing and retreat-1
J ing. The outdoor air rings with laugh
ter and with the moving to and fro of
thousands on the great promenades.
The dashing span, ndrip with the foam
of the long country ride, rushes past
as you halt ut the curbstone. Mirth,
revelry, beauty, fashion, magnificence,
mingle in the great metropolitan pic-'
ture until the thinking man goes home
to think more seriously, and the pray
ing man to pray more earnestly. A
beautiful and overwhelming thing is
the city in the first and second watches
of the night.
Hut the clock strikes 12. and the
third watch has begun. "I be thunder
of the city has rolled out of the air.
The slightest sounds cut the night with
such distinctness as to attract your at
tention. The tinkling of the bell of
the street car in the distance nnd the
baying of the dog. The stamp of a
hor-e in the next street. The slamming
of a saloon door. The hiccough of the
drunkard. The shrieks of the steam
whistle five miles away. Oh. how -ug
gestive. my friends, the third watch of
the night!
There are honest men passing up
and down the street. Here is a city
missionary who has been carrying a
scuttle of coal to that poor family in
that dark place. Here is an under
taker going up the steps of a building
from which there cornea a bitter cry.
which indicates that the destroying
angel has smitten the first-born. Here
s a minister of religion who has been
giving the sacrament to a dying ( hris
tian. Here is a physician passing along
in great haste. Nearly all the lights
have gone out in the dwellings, for it
is the third watch of the night. That
light in the window is the light of the
watcher, for the medicines must be
administered, and the fever must be
watched, and the restless tossing off
of the coverlid must be resisted, and
the ice must be kept on the hot tem
ples, and the perpetual prayer must
go up from hearts soon to be broken.
Oh. the third watch of the night!
What a stupendous thought a whole
e»ty at rest! Weary arm prepat mg for
\o-morro*.'s toil. Hot brain being
cooled off. Ifigid muscle* relaxed. Ex
cited nerves soothed. '1 fee white hair
of the octogenarian in thin drifts
across the pillow, fresh fall of flakes
on snow already fullen. Childhood,
with its dimpled hands thrown out on
the pillow, and with every breath tak
ing in a new store of fun and froitv.
Third watch of the night! Clod’s slum
berless eye will look. Let one great
wave of refreshing slumber roll over
the heart of the great tow u, submerg
ing care and anxiety and worrimeut
and pain. Let the city sleep.
Hut, iny friends, be not deceived.
There will be to-night thousands who
will not sleep at all. Co up that durk
alley, and be cautious where you
tread lest you fall over the pros
trate form of a drunkard lying on his
own doorstep. Look about you. lest
you feel the garroter’s hug. Look
through the broken window pane,
and st e what you can see. You say:
"Nothing.” Then listen. What is
it? "(lod help us!” No footlights,
but tragedy ghastlier and mightier
than llistori or Edwin Booth ever en
acted. No light, no fire, no bread,
no hope. Shivering in the cold, they
have had no food for 24 hours. You
say: "Why don’t they beg?” They
do, but they get nothing. You say:
"Why don’t they deliver themselves
over to the almshouse?” Ah, you
would not ask that if you ever heard
the bitter cry of a man or child when
told he must go to the almshouse!
“Oh,” you say, "they ure vicious poor,
and therefore they do not deserve our
sympathy.” Are they vicious? So
much more they need your pity. The
( hristiun poor, (lod helps them.
Through their night there twinkles
the round, merry star of hope and
through the broken window they see
the crystals of Heaven, but the
vicious poor, they are more to be
pitied. Their last light lias gone out.
^ ou excuse yourself from helping
them by saying they are so bad they
brought this trouble on themselves.
I reply: Where I give ten prayers
for tin* innocent who are suffering I
will give 20 for the guilty who are
mi ffering.
Pass on through the alley. Open
the door. “Oh,” you say, “it is
locked.” No, it is not locked. It has
never been locked. No burglar would
be tempted to go in there to steal
anything. The door is never locked.
Only a broken chair stands against
the door. Shove it back. Go in.
Strike a match. Now, look. Beastli
ness and rags. See those glaring
eyeballs. Be eareful now what you
say. Do not utter any insult, do not
utter any suspicion, if you value your
life. What is that red mark on the
wall? It is the mark of a murderer’s
hand! Look at thoie two eyes rising
up out of the darkness and out from
the straw in the corner, corning to
ward you, and as they come near you
your lights go out. Strike another
match. Ah, this is n babe, not like
those beautiful children presented
in baptism. 'I'll is little one never
smiled; it never will smile. A flower
flung on an awfully barren beach.
O Heavenly Shepherd, fold that little
one in thy arms!
Strike another match. Ah, is it
possible that the scarred and bruised
face of that young woman was ever
looked into by maternal tenderness?
Utter no scorn, litter no harsh word.
No ray of hope has dawned on that
brow for many a year. No ray of
hope ever will dawn on that brow.
Hut the light has gone out. Do not
strike another light. It. would be a
mockery to kindle another light in
such a place as that. Pass out and
pass down the street. Our cities are
full of such homes, and the worst
time the third watch of the night.
Do you know It is in this third
watch of the night that criminals do
their worst work? It is the crimi
nals watch. At half-past eight
o’clock you will find them in the
drinking saloon. but toward 12
o’clock they go to their garrets, they
get out their tools, then they start
on the street. Watching on either
side for the police, they go to their
work or darkness. This is a burglar,
and the false key will soon touch Ihe
store lock. This is an incendiary,
and before morning there will be a
light on the sky and a cry of “Fire,
fire!” This is an assassin, and to
morrow morning there will be a dead
body in one of the vacant lots. Dur
ing the daytime these villains in our
cities lounge about, some asleep and
some awake, but when the third
watch of the night arrives their eve
is keen, their brain cool, their arm
strong, their foot fleet to fly or pur
sue, they are ready. Many of these
poor creatures were brought up that
way. They were born in a thieves’
garret. Their childish toy was a bur
glar’* dark lantern. The first thing
they remember was their mother
bandaging the brow of their father,
struck by the police club. Thev be
gan by robbing boys’ pockets, and
now they have come to dig the un
derground passnge to the cellar of
th«» bank and are preparing to blast
th« gold vault. Just so long as there
are neglected children of the street,
just so long we will have these des
peradoes. Some one, wishing to make
a good Christian point and to «piote
a pnssnpe of Scripture, expecting to
get u Scriptural passage in answer,
said to one of these poor lads, cast
out and wretched: “When your fn
I ther and mother forsake you, who
will take you up?*' and the boy said:
' "The perl ice!”
friends, you see all around about
you the need that something radical be
done. You do not set the worst. In
the midnight meetings in London a
great multitude has been saved. We
want a few hundred Christian men and
women to come down rrom the highest
circles of society to toil amid these
wandering and destitute one* and kin
dle up a light in th° dark alley, even
the giadnessr of ilerven. Do oot go
wrapped in your line furs and from
jour well-filled table* with the Idea
that pious talk is going to atop the
gnawing of an empty stomach or tc
warm stockingless feet. Take bread,
take raiment, take medicine, as well as
take prayer. There i* a great deal of
common sense in what the poor wom
an .said to the city missionary when he
was telling her how she ought to love
«od and serve Him. “Oh,” she said, “il
you were as poor and cold as I am and
as hungry you could think of noth
ing else.”
I could give you the history in a min
ute of one of the best friends I ever
had. Outside of my own family I never
had a better friend. He welcomed me
to my home nt the west. He was of
splendid personal appearance, but he
had an ardor of soul and a warmth ol
affection that made me love him like
a brother. I saw men coming out of
the saloons and gambling hell*, and
they surrounded my friend, aad they
took him at the weak point—his social
nature—and 1 saw him going down
and I had a fair talk with him, for 1
uever yet saw a man you could not
talk with on the subject of his habits
if you talked with him in the right
way. I said to him: “Why don’t yot
give up your bud habits and become
a ( bristian?” I remember now just
how he looked, leaning over his coun
ter. as he replied: “1 wish 1 could. Oh
sir. 1 should like to b? a Christian, but
I have gone so far astray I can’t get
back!” So the time went on. After
awhile the day of sickness came. 1
was summoned to his sickbed. I has
tened. It took but a few moments tc
get there. I was surprised as I went
in. I saw him in his ordinary dress,
fully dressed, lying on top of the bed.
I gave him my hand, and he seized it
convulsively, and said: “Oh, liow glad
I ara to see you! Sit down there.”
I sat down, and he said: “Mr.Talmage,
just where you sit now my mother sat
last night. She has been dead L’O years.
Now. 1 don’t want you to think I am
out of my mind or that lam supersti
11(mi>, uui, sir. sm- sat there last night
and she said: ‘Roswell, 1 wish you
would do better—I wish jou would
do better. ‘1 said: ‘Mothei, 1 wish 1
could do betetr; I try to do hetter,but
I (’flu •. Mother, you used to help me.
Why can't you help me now?’ And, sir,
I got out of bed, for it was a reality,
and I went to her and threw my arms
around her neck, and I said: ‘Mother.
I will do better, but you must help. 1
can t do this alone.’ ” I knelt and
prayed. That night his soul went to
the Lord who made it.
Arrangements were made for the
obsequies. 1 he question was raised
whether they should bring him to the
church. Somebody said: “You cannot
bring such a dissolute man as that into
the church.” I said: “You will bring
him in church; he stood by me uheo
he was alive, and f will stand by him
when he is dead. Bring him.” As I
stood in the pulpit and saw them car
rying the body up the aisle I felt as if
I could weep tears of blood. On one
side of the pulpit sat his little child of
eight years, a sweet, beautiful little
girl, that 1 had seen him hug convul
sively in his hetter moments, lie put
on her all jewels and gave her all pic
tures and toys, and then he would go
away, as if hounded by at: evil spirit.
to his cups and the house of iniquity_
a fool to the correction of the stocks.
She looked up wonderingly. She knew
not what it meant. She was not old
enough to understand the sorrow of
an orphan. On tin* other side sat the
men who had ruined him; they were
the men who had poured the worm
wood into the orphan’s cup; they were
the men who had bound him hand and
foot. 1 knew them, llow did they
seem to feel? Did fhey weep? No.
Did they say: “What a pity that so
generous a man should be destroyed?“
No. Did they sigh repentingly over
what they had done? No. They sat
there, looking as vultures look at the
carcass of a Iamb whose heart they
have ripped out. So they sat and
looked at the coflin lid. and I told thtwn
the judgment of God upon those who
had. destroyed their fellow. Did thev
reform? I was told they were in the
places of iniquity that night after my
friend was laid in Oakwood cemetery,
and they blasphemed and they drank.
Oh, how merciless men are. especially
after they have destroyed you! Do
not look to men for comfort or help.
But there is a man who will not re
! form. He says: “I won't reform.”
Well, then, how many acts are there
in a tragedy? i believe there are five
nets in u tragedy.
Act the first of the tragedy: A
young man starting ofT from home;
parents and sisters weeping to have
him go; wagon rising over the hill;
farewell kiss flung bark. Bing the bell,
and let the curtain fall.
Act Ihe second: The marriage altar;
full organ; bright lights; long white
veil trailing through the aisle; prayer
and congratulations and exclamation
| of “How well she looks!”
Act the third: A woman waiting
for daggering steps; old garments
stuck into the broken window pane;
marks of hardship on the face; the
biting of the nails of bloodless fingers*
neglect and cruelty nud despair. Ring
the bell, and let the curtain drop.
Act the fourth: Three graves in a
dark place- giave of the child that
died for lack of medicine, grave of the
wife that died of a broken heart, grave
of the man that died of d is* i pa t ion. Oh.
what a blasted heath with threj*
graves! Plenty of weeds, but no flow
ers. Bing the bell, and let the curtain
drop.
Act the fifth: A destroyed soul's
eternity; no light, uo music; blackness
of darkness forever. But I cannot
look any longer. Woe. woe! I close
my eyes to this last act of the trag
edy. Quick, quick! Bing the hell, and
| let the curtain drop. “Rejoice. Oy oil ns
man, in thy youth, and let thy heart re
' joice in the days of th.v youtU, but
know thou that for all these things Qod
l w ill bring you into judgment.” "There
