AN EMINENT EXAMPLE
A SOUL-bTIRRING APPEAL TO
PROFESSED CHRISTIANS.
Kc*. 1)p. Talmage Tells Ills Hearers to Do
As tile Desciples of Old—Take \ our
Troubles to Jesus—ll.1 M'ill Deliver.
[Specially Reported for thi- Paper.]
UnooKi.vN, May '.'.-Rev. Dr. Talmagc’s
■sermon, yesterday, was an earnest appeal
to his hearers to trust in God for deliver
ance from all their trials and temptations.
His text was taken from 14th Matthew,
portion of 12th verse: “And his desciples
■went and told Jesus."
An outrageous assassination had just
taken place. To please n icvengeful woman,
Herod had ordered the death of that nohle,
self-sacrificing Christian. Joint the Baptist
The disciples of Christ were thrown into
great cric-f. They felt themselves utterly
helpless. They knew not to whom they
might appeal. But grief must have an ex
pression, and if there be r.o ear to hear it,
then trie avoid.’ ’.I soul will cry aloud to the
winds, to the woods, and to the waters.
But there was an ear to listen here. This
is not only a very pathetic utterance, but a
most beautifni picture. “They went and
told Jesus." He understood their grief, and
lie solaced it. Ouv burdens are r.o more
than half os hen-;.- as they were, when
there is another shoulder under them.
•There Christ stands, his face shadowed
with his own sorrow, amid a group of dis
ciples. who were with violent gesticula
tions and wringing hands, uttering an out
ers' of distre.-s expressing their woo.
(Rafael with his brush putting upon the
wall a palace, a scene in Bible story, used
not so skillful a brush as did the plain
[evangelist wit. a ho writes, “Tney went
and told Jesus."
The old Goths ami vandals came down
(from the nor!ll of Europe mte Ita.y and
they upset the gardens ami they prostrated |
the altars ana they desiroye.1 everythin}!
•they could put their h pi Is or.. So ever and
•anon in the history ot men and women,
there is an incursion of rough banded
plunderers who come to plunder and put
to the torture everything we hold dear.
Godfrey and his army when marching to
• take Jerusalem marched in silence. But
■when they came over the hill that over*
(looked the city and got a glimpse of the
(pinnacles of that beautiful city, history
'says that army that marched in silence
'raised a shout that made the earth tremble.
‘Oh, ye soldiers of Christ marching on to
ward Jerusalem. 1 wi n that to-day
some glance of the castles i God's mercy
and God's strength might lift your soul in
to great rejoicing, and before this sermon
is closed you might raise a cry “Hosanna
to the Lord.” 1 feel that I am presenting an
appropriate message. X want to take all
your grievances, all your annoyances
and bereavements and sorrows and
exasperations and put them into one bundle
and set them on fire with a spark from
God's altar. And may the Lord God in his
mercy grant that before this service shall
be concluded, every wounded heart snail be
healed and every burdened soul shall be
(emancipated. And whereas now we may
be divided into two classes, those who are
full of joy and those who are full of sad
ness. there shall be but one class in this as
sembly, the grateful, the triumphant.
In the first place, I commend the behavior
of those desciples in the text to all who are
in sin and unp.ardoned.
At some timo in every man safe he wakes
up to find he has an erring nature. You
need not tell him of it; he knows it. To
get rid of that feeling one man will go to
prayer, another will stimulate himself with
•ardent spirits, another will plunge deeper
‘into secularities. Sometimes a man can’t
'get rid of the feeling, and the fact is that
when a man finds out that his eternity is
ibased on a complete uncertainty, and that
the next moment his foot may slip, he must
do something violent to get nd of that
•feeling.
Now, my brother have you resolved that
you would rather die in the cancer of sin
than have the heavenly surgeon cut it out ?
If so you are going riot in the face of your
best interests; you are crowding down
under a yoke and passing the days when
you might rise up a grand conquerer. That
you might relax the grip of death from
your soul, and plant your foot on a golden
.throne. Christ allowed the tortures of
hioody murderers to transfix him. With
the beam of his own cross he will crash in
the door of your dungeon. From the thorns
of his o’.vu crown he will pick out enough
gems to make your brow blaze with eternal
royalty. In the tears on his cheek, in the
long blackening mark of laceration from
.shoulder to shoulder, in the grief shatter
ing,heaven-storming death groan, I hear it.
• “Him that cometh unto me I will in no
•wise cast out." Driven and tossed and
•pursued by your sin, why don’t you go and
Itoll Jesus; For, my brother, we must
remember that this cal! will not always
'continue.
Km" Alfred, before the modern time
pieces were invented, divided the day into
three parts of eight hours each, and he had
three candles—three waxen candles. When
one c,.':die was burned out, eight hours
'were gone, and when the second eanule was
.burned down, eight more hours had passed,
and when the third waxen candle had
burned clown, the whole day was gone.
Oh, my friends, that we might be so wise
'as to measure our days and years, not by
earthly time pieces, but by opportunities
•and mercies which are burning down and
burning out never again to be relighted,
'lest at last we should cry out. with the
foolish virgins, “Our lamps are gone out.”
! Again X commend the behavior of those
desciples in the text to all who are tempted.
1 found r_ man the other day in midlife who
said he had never been tempted. Well, now
that proved that that he had never tried to
do right. That proved that he has never
tried tu come on the high platform of
Christian character.
No one escapes temptation. If a man be
hobbled and handcuffed and lie lies quiet he
don’t know the power of the chain that
binds him. Ho don’t know the strength
of the iron. But let him try to get up and
shako off the shackles, and then he finds
out the power of the iron. If a man bound
hand and foot to the devil, is willing
to stay there year after year he
don’t know the power of temptation,
• the power of the chain, but let him try to
break loose and he will find the power of
temptation and the power of darkness. It
is easy to boat down stream with the cur
rent. You can just lie on your oars and
you will go the way the river runs, hut if
you want to reverse your course and head
up stream, then you have to nut in all your
strength, an l you lay hold of the oars with
all yc\ r vigor. It is quite easy for us to go
down stream towards wickedness and
darkness, and it will not be long before wo
are going with the current, soon we are in
the rapids, hurrying down to the awful
abyss ol the Niagara, from which no power
but that of Jesus Christ can save him. He
needs the help of the eternal God No man
escapes from temptation. You have yours
and 1 U ivp mine, ft is silly for me to say 1
could not ho overthrown by your
temptation; it is silly for you to say that
you could not be overthrown by my temp
! tation. A non thinks it silly that a nsh is !
caught by a hook; the fish thinks it silly |
: that a lion is caught In- a trap. You may
j not have sombody olso's temptation, but
! you have your own. If you are an intcl
j ligent and Christian man you arc
aware of it, whether you admit it
or not. You look at some man with a
phlegmatic temperament and says "He
can’t have any temptation.” Yes. he has
temptations, serious temptations too, they
are; temptations to sonsoriousness. temp
tations 10 over-feeding, temptations to lie
down on his back in the progress of every
great enterprise. Whether your tempta
tion is strong or otherwise, ou* of that
grows other temptations and while others
escape it. you feel it as long as you live.
Hut you mas* ask "Don’t a mail live long
enough to escape from his temptations?
No. The man of eighty or eighty-fivo has
his temptation just the same as the young
man of twenty-five. The octogenarian has
just as many temptations as the young man
standing out in New York, battling with a
thousand temptations, and sometimes the
former fares worst in the conflict.
There was a man looking for a throne,
and he pretended to be very ill and he was
on crutches and he said to a king. "Now. 1 ;
only want, your throne for a little while.
1 will soon begone anyhow and somebody '
else will take the throne. 1 don’t wan't it ;
hut a little while.” So he was given the
throue and 1. o^liately threw away the
crutches tv.at he ;.ad been using and was
apparently freed from ail his pains. The
king said "How is this that you throw away
your crutches‘♦Ah,” he said, “when I
had no throne I needed my crutches to help
me along', but notv I have got a throne, 1
don't want crutches any more.
Well, notv. you may ask what is a man to
do in the time of temptation! Must he go
and tell other people about it f Don't be so
silly as that. Don't do that. Don't carry
your heart on your coat sleeves lor doves
to peek at. Von will only get scoffed at
and ridiculed if you do. What is a man to
do when in that predicament! Why let
him go to his God, who has never refused
help to those who put their trust in him,
and he will give you the relief you want;
nev r fear but he will. Christ knows all
about his troubles and his trials, and he
will lift the burden from yoursouland sus
tain you. Christ says, “My grace is suf
ficient for you. You shall not be tempted
above what you are able to bear.” Young
men, old men, all the people who are nero
to-day who are tempted, go now and tell
Jesus.
I commend also the behavior of the desej
ples in the text to all who are abused and
slandered and persecuted. When Herod
had John put to death the deciples knew
their heads were not safe. But every John
has his Herod. Some people don't
think overmuch of you. Your misfortunes
would be honey-comb to them. They grin
at you through their teeth; they misinter
pret your motives, and they would like to
see you fall flat. Your tears would be
wine to them. No man escapes who does
his duty.
It is not a good sign for you to say, “I
have not an enemy in the world.” It shows
that you don't amount to inytbing. It
shows that you are a namby-pamby Chris
tian that you are of no use to the church of
God. You go ahead and do your duty, your
duty to society and your duty to the world,
and you will have enemies. There is jio
escape from it. The Bible pronounces a
woe on every man of whom everybody
speaks welL
Divine George Whitfield brought vast
multitudes into the kingdom of God, more
than any man of his day; and yet while he
was engaged in that glorious work, the
learned Dr. Johnson wrote “Whitfield is a
miserable mountebank.”
George Hall preached about the glories
of Heaven as probably no other uninspired
man ever preached, and when he got half
through with his sermon, he would lie
down on the sofa to rest. He was an in
valid, and after having recovered some
what from his excruciating pain, he would
stand up again and resume his story about
the glories of Heaven, until the people
thought they heard the harp seraphic.
Thejearned John Foster wrote Jin a book
that we can find at this day these words,
“Robert Hall is a mere actor, and that
smile you see on his face is not the reflec
tion of the heavenly glory, but the reflection
of his own vanity.”
John Wesley turned England upside
down with Christian reform and started a
line of influence for good perhaps such as
no other uninspired man ever started; and
yet he was the butt of all the punsters of
England, and was caracatured and pic
torialized all over the board fences of Lon
don. If those eminent and good men can
not escade slander, neither can you.
What are you going to do about it ! Are
you going to try to kill the slander : While
you are killing out one slander,
there will be fifty slanders some
where else born. While you are
trying to right one wrong impression, you
will find one hundred more wrong impres
sions are out; and so it will be to infinity.
And you will learn what a poor business
that is that you are engaged in, going
arnuDd trying to set yourself straight. You
will only irritate and exasperate yourself
and get out of all patience with yourself
and you will lose your good humor; and
when a man loses his good humor he is in a
very bad shape. That is not the way to do
it at alL Take all your troubles to Christ.
Take all your wounds and bruises, and say,
“Lord, God, I see thy wounds, the wounds
of thy head, the wounds of thy heart, the
wounds of thy feet. I see thy wounds.
Now look at mine. See how I have been
struck in the battle: how I have been mis
represented, how I have been lied about.
Lord Jesus I entreat thee by the memory
of thy wounds to heal my wounds.” And
he wilL He will sympathize with you. He
will h*jlp you. He will rescue you and you
will come out of the fire unscarred, un
scathed and stronger than when you went
“The soul that on Jesus doth lean for repof
I will not, I will not desert to its toes.
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to
shake,
I will never, no never forsake."
I commend also this behavior of the dis
ciples in tlie text to all who are bereaved.
How many signs of mourning are there in
this house to-day. If you could staud just
where 1 staud and look at the vast emblems
of grief I see around me, you would be as
tonished. Hut God has his own tvay of tak
ing apart a family. We have got to get out
of the way to make room to let other gene
rations coino in. We have got to get off of
the platform that others may get on it, and
that keeps us all passing along down into
the valley of the shadows.
Immigration from this world to the next
is so vast that you and I can't understand
it. Every day we hear the clang of the
sepulchral gates; the sod must be .roken,
the ground must be ploughed for tho resur
rection harvest. Eternity must bo peopled.
The dust must press our eyelids. It is ap
pointed unto all men once to die, and that
keeps three-fourths of the families of the
c-arth in desolation. The air is filled with
sobs, and the blue’,; tasselled vehicle or
death rumbles through every street. The
body of the child that lay so near ihe heart
of tiie mother is put away in the cold
ground. The laughter in tiiat household
freezes to the girl’s Ups and tlie roses are
scattered.
An, tne gravo la cruel. With tho teeth
of stone it dutches for its prey, and our
hearts are hauled and mangled between
the closing gates of the two. Is there anv
help for it' What are we to do' Sit down
and mourn away our time! Give up! Say
that life is a failure! Ah Lord, no, no.
Christ comes in if you want him. Ho knows
your grief, the height,the depth, the length,
the breadth; he has counted all your tears
and heard all your groans. Aye, before
the tears started or the groans began, ho
saw the enemy’s hiding place. He takes it
and ho weighs it, and he measures it, and
lie pities it with all-sympathizing pity;
bone of our bone, Hesh of our flesh, heart
of our heart, soul of our sot As long ho
remembers Lazarus, he wii. stand by ns
m the o metery; he will b- with us as
with Lazarus, m the days o our affliction.
■When he forgets t tie foot-sor ■ way and the
sleepless night, ami the wear: 1 nind, and
the exhausted body, and the . . . ■: i cross
and the solemn grave, then i.. ,d forget
you hut not till then.
When wo get in trouble, we send for our
friends. tVrnups they are faraway. Wo
telegraph to then: to come, to take The first
train and the- rule ;i us and hurry to our
side. But. perhaps by the time they como
to ns, if is too late. Christ is always with
you, behind you. before you and with you,
close by; closer than the cup from which
you drink: than the handkerchief with
which you wipe away your tears. 1 preach
an ever-present Christ. Hut when your
friends come’they have not power to help
you; they would like to; they would
like to carry away our trouble;
hut they can't carry it away. But Christ
is all-powerful. He can rebuff all our ca
lamities, and at the right time in the pre
sence of us all, right all our wrongs. And
he will. Mot, itn of eye, not weak of arm,
not slip-shod of step is our Christ. Mightier
than Herod: swifter t ban the storm ; faster
than eternity; grander than the sea: he
will draw every sword from the scabbard
of omnipotene and exhaust all the resources
of eternity rather than it shall be told of
you in some Chrises of your life that you
wanted help and could not get it.
Suppose your child was in trouble, how
much would you do to get him out! You
would say, “1 don't care what it costs me,
I am going to get that child out of this
trouble." Do you suppose that God is not
as good a father to you as you are to your
child 1 He can level the mountain, he eau
defy the water, he can quench the fire, he
can save the soul. Oh, ye. whose cheeks
are wet with the night dew of sorrow.
Oh, ye, whose hearts are dried under the
heat of a Sonora sun. Let me tell of a re
ligion that can heal every wound, lift every
burden and soothe every soul. Come and
take that comfort. Go and tell all your
grievances to Christ
A little girl was on a ship with her father.
He was a sea captain. It was her first
voyage at sea. She had never seen a storm.
And in the night she was awakened and
there was a great storm and she was ter
ribly frightened and she rushed out of the
cabin and said, "Where is father!’’
They told her, "Your father is down
on the deck. He is watching the
ship. He is directing it safe
through the storm.” "Oh," she says,
“ If father is on the deck, it is all right. He
can take the ship into the harbor of safety.
I will go to sleepand she lay down and
went to sleep.
Oh, ye, who are tossed unconscious of
life up on the mountains and down by the
valleys and those who are at your wits’
end, y„ur fathvr is watching the storms:
your father is on deck and he will bring
you out of the tempest ; he will bring you
into the harbor, all those who put their
trust in him. But will you do this, or will
you try to carry your own burdens, and
fight your own battles and weep your own
tears! If you do, then your life will be
a failure and your death a disaster.
But if you will just come to the
Lord Jesus Chjist, as the desciples did,
and the angel who keeps the record of
your acts in this world will report to
Christ that this morning you went and told
Christ your troubles.
As I look over this assembly I ask my
self what will be their destiny! For it
does not make any fiifftrence to me whether
it goes into a sermon or not; I always put it
into a sermon because there are hundreds
and thousands perhaps, ithat are never
here again, and so I urge them to Christ,
not only for comfort, but to get relieved ol
their burdens, and I tell you that now is
the accepted time. Mow is the day of sal
vation and you will be gone, and wliat is
to be your destiny, whither, whither!
Xerxes I suppose had the finest army that
ever marched, with two millions men in it,
and one day he rode along the line, review
ing his troops, and after he had finished re
viewing them, he took his position on a hill
top and looked off on them and burst into
tears. Some one said to him, “Why arc
you so sad at a moment when you ought to
be full of exultation!" “Ah, it is my
grief that so soon all of these two million
men will be dead and gone." And when 1
look over this house of men and women
to-day and I realize that you soon will all
be gone from earthly scenes—whither,
whither! Some of us meet once but never
again in Ibis world. Will you meet on the
right side of the Judge!
The poet put into a peculiar verse a very
beautiful and startling thought:
“ ’Tis not for man to tribe;
Life is brief anu soon is ended.
Our age is but a-falling leal, a dropping tear.*1
Mot many lives, only one, have we. How
sacred should that one life be, that narrow
span. _
The Coke Strikers Determined.
Scottdai.e, Penn.. May It.—The working
men of the coke region express a determi
nation to stand out six months, if necessary,
to enforce their demands. There has been
some talk that the suspension of work was

A Hill0,000 Cow Sold for 850.
Habrisbugh, Pa., May 9.—The famous
ccav Electa, for which her owner, A. J.
Cowan, of Venango county, once refused
$10,000, was sold by him to an Oil City
butcher the other day for $.10, stie having
been ruined by overfeeding. Although this
cow stood at the head of all milk producers
in this country a few years ago, her pedi
gree was never known. Siio came to
Cowan’s farm as an estray. She was a
famous prize winner.
Wonderful, but True.
Charleston, S. C., May 9.—It turns out
that the story published originally in the
New Haven llegMer about a wealthy south
ern grocer and his bookkeeper, who is said
to have paid t lie grocer $(140,000 from busi
ness done by the firm during the war, is
true in its general features. George IV.
Williams of this city, and Daniel Hand of
New Haven, were the parties to the tran
saction. Williams has paid back to Hand
since the war #700,000 as his share in the
firm’s business.
Two French Steamers Collide in a Fog—
One Sunk*
London, May 0.—As t\*e result of a col
lision just outside the harbor of Havre on
Saturday morning* a large steamer was
sunk ami many lives lost.
There was a thick fog as the steamship
La Champagne, of the French Compagnie
Transatlantique, left her moorings to start
upon her voyage to New York. There
were just a thousand passengers on
board, a tenth of whom were in the
cabin. The rest were Italian laborers, with
their families. Owing to the thickness ot
the weather La Champaigne steamed
slowly and was just passing out of tho har
bor when another steamer coming in at ap
parently full speed crashed into her. All
on board were seized with panic, but the
officers, who behaved with great coolness,
succeeded in calming the affrighted people,
while the exact damage received was being
ascertained.
It was soon found that a great hole had
been broken in the bow at and under the
waterline. The water was rushing through ■
this in tremendous volume and the forward
bulkheads could not be closed. The vessel ,
was therefore headed for shore, but it soon
become evident to the officers that the ves
sel must sink before the beach could be
reached.
When tne captain gave the order to get
ready the boats the panic among the steer
age passengers was renewed. They were
perfectly frantic with fear and it took the
greater part of the crew to prevent them
from seizing on the boats. A number of
cabin passengers went in among the Ital
ians and tried to quiet them, but there was
no reasoning with them. All that could be
done was to keep them together on the after
deck, a strong guard being placed to prevent I
them,from rushing forward and hindering
the work of the sailors.
When the boats touched the water the
last vestige of control was swept away. ;
One mad rush swept asicio the guard and
the Italians came tumbling over each other ;
in their frantic eagerness to secure places j
in the boats. Women and children were j
thrown down and trampled upon. But the
stronger paid the penalty of their coward
ice, for as they got to the front they were
pressed by the crowd behind aud many fell
over into the sea. In this way over forty
were drowned, whoj if they had been or
derly would have been saved.
All the others escaped and were landed
near |Auomanches. The place where La
Champagne went ashore is not far from
land and not in deep water. Most of her
cargo will be saved.
The vessel which caused the mischief
was the Vil; le Rio, a tramp steamer hail
ing from South America. She received such
serious damage that she was abandoned by
her crew and sank shortly after in deep
water. She carried no passengers.
EFFECTS OF THE EARTHQUAKE.
Volcanic Eruptions—150 Lives Lust—Water
anil Gold In Abundance.
Gcymas, Mexico, May 0.—The earthquake
of the 3d inst. was accompanied by a terri
ble volcanic eruption at Bahispe which,
together with the earthquake, destroyed
Moetazuma, killing 150 persons and igniting
the woods in the vicinity. Twenty-seven
persons were also killed at Oputu by
falling buildings. Many persons were
injured at Grenada and Gusabar which
towns were almost completely destroyed.
Citt of Mexico, May 9.—via Galveston—
The government received its first informa
tion regarding the disastrous earthquake
on the 3d mst. at the town of liahispe, in
the district of Moctezuma, Sonora, by
which 150 persons lost their lives. The
earthquake occurred at 3.50 p. m. At the
same time volcanic eruptions began in the
neigboring mountains, lighting up the
summits for a long distance. The same
afternoon earthquake shocks were felt
throughout the state. The prediction is
made here tw local scientific men that
Mexico is about to undergo a general
seismic convulsion, and recent record of
earthquake shocks show that there is
widespread volcanic activity from one end
of Mexico to the other.
Volcanic outbreaks are occuring near the
Guatemalan border, as well as in the State
of Sonora.
Tccsox, Arizona, May 9.—Another violent
earthquake is reported in the San Jose
mountains, forty miles south of Fort
Huachuca, in Sonora. Gen. Forsyth has
sent an exploration party to investigate.
A party just returned from the Santa
Catalina mountains report that the canons
are full of water, which was brought to the
surface by tiie earthquake. This is a great
boon to that region, as there are thousands
of acres of good farming lands at the base
of these mountains which needed water to
make them valuable.
Another good effect of the earthquake is
the opening of two large gold veins, which
were discovered in the Santa Catalina
mountains at a point where the whole side
of a mountain slid down. Several pros
pecting parties have left to locate claims.
