GO UP.
"You Ought Not to Go Into the Saddle
if You Cannot Bide,',' Says Dr. 'Talmage
--Never Worth Much for God Until You
Have Been Humiliated. ,
BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 1O.—Rev. Dr.
Talmage, who lectured in this city yes-
terday. having spoken' duringitlie week
'at Nashville, Memphis and other cities,.
preached here this forenoon to a large
audience, under the auspices of the Bap-
tist Church. The subject was
horsed," and the text chosen vas, Acta -
cti
9; 3-5 : "And as he journeye he came
near Damascus ; and- sudden y there
shined round about him a light from
Heaven, and he. fell to the earth, and
heard a voice .saying unto him, Saul,
Saul, why persecutest thou Me? And he
said, Who art Thou, Lord? And the
Lord said : I am. Jesus whom thou.
persecutest."
The Damascus of Bible . times still
stands, with a populationsof one hun-
dred and thirty-five thousand. 'It was a
gay city of white and glistening archi-
tecture, its minarets and crescents and
denies playing with the light of the
morning sun ;•embowered in groves ,cit,
olive, and citron, and orange, and -pome-
granate ; a famous river plateging its
brightness into the Beene : a city by the
ancients styled "Li pearl surrounded by
•
emeralds."
A group. of horsmen are 'advancing
upon dila. city. Let the Christiana of the
place hide, for that cavalcade corning
over the hills is made up of persecutors;
their leader, small and unattractive in
some respecta, as leaders .aornetimos are
insignificant in person; witness- the Duke
of Wellington and Dr, Archibald Alex-
ander. But there is something very in-
tent in the eye of this _man of the text,
sand the horse he rides is lathered With
the foam of a long and quick travel of
oue hundred and thirty-five miles. He
•urges on his steed, for • those- Christians
must be captured and silenced, and that
• religion of the cross must be annihilat-
ed. Suddenly they shy off and plunge,
until the riders are precipitated. Freed
• from the.riders, the horses bound snort-
• ing away. You know the dumb ani-
mals, at the- sight of an eclipse, or an
earthquake, or anything like a supeina-
Aural appearance, sometimes become
very -uncontrolable. A new sun _had
been - kindled in the heavens, put-
ting out the glare �f the ordinary Sun.
Christ, with the glories of heav-
en w•rappedabout him, looked out
from the cloud and the splendor was
insufferable, and no wonder the horses
sprang and the equestrians dropped.,
Dust -covered and bruised. Saul attempts
to get up, shading his eyes with _his
handsfrom the severe lustre of the
Heavens, but unsuccessfully, . for he
• is -truck stone blind as he cries out,
"Who art thou, -Lord?" and Jesus - an-
swered him, "I am the One you have
been chasing. He that whips and
scourges Me. It is not their back shat is
bleeding; it is Mine. It is not if them
heart that is breaking; it is Mine. I am
Jesus Whom thou persecutest."
From that wild, exciting, and over-
whelming scene there -rises up the great-
est preacher of all the ages—Paul, in
whose behalf prisons were rocked down,
before whom soldiers turned pale, into
whose hand Mediterranean • sea captains
put control Of their shipwrecking craft,
ahd whose epistles are the avantcourier
of a resurrection ,day. - . •
I learn from this scene that a 'Worldly
fall sometimes precedes a spiritual up-
lifting. A man does not get much sym-
pathy by falling off a home. People say
he, ought not to have got into thesaddle
if he could not ride. Those of us who
were brought up in the country remem-
ber well how the workmen laughed
'when, on our way back from the -brook,
Nye suddenly lost our ride. When in a
grand review a general toppled from the
stirrups it became a national -merriment.
Here is Paul on horseback—a proud
man, riding on with govermneut .docu-
ments.in his pocket, a graduate of a
most famor school, in ‘vhich the cele-
brated Dr. Gamaliel had been a profes.e
sor, perhaps having already attained
two of the three titles of the school—
Rab, the first; Rabbi, the second; and
cn his way to Rabbak. the third and
iiighest title. I know from his tempera-,
merit that his horse was ahead of the
.other horses. But withouts,time to think
of what posture he should. take, or with-
out consideration for his dignity, .he is
tumbled into the dust,' And yet that
was the best ride Paul ever toOk. Out
of that violent fall .he arose into the
apostleship.- So it has been in all ages
and so it is now. .
You will never be worth Much for
God and the Church until you loge your
fortune, or have your reputation upset,
or in some way, somehow, are thrown
and . -humiliated. You must ;go down
hefore you go up. Joseph. finds • his
path to the Egyptian court through the
pit into Nvhich his brothers threw him.
Daniel would never have walked amidst
the bronzed lions that adorned the
Banylonish throne if he had not first
walked amidst the real lions D f the cave.
And Paul marshals all the generations of
Christendom by falling flat on his face
on the road to Damasc-us. Men Who
have been always prospered may be
efficient servants of the world, but will
he of no advantage Christ. You may
ride majestically seated on your charger,
rein in hand, foot iu stirrup, but you
will never be ‘vorth anything spiritual-
ly until you fall off. They. who graduate
.from the school of Christ with the hiah-
est honors have on their diploma the
seal of a lion's muddy paw, or the plash
of an :angry wave, or the drop of a
stray tear, or the brown, scerch of a
persecuting thee In nine hundred and
ninety-nine cases out of a thousand there,
is no moral or spiritual elevation until
there has been a thorough worldly up-
setting.
Again, I learn from the subject that
the religion of Christ is not a
piisillaiii-
1 thing. .People in this day try to
make us believe.- that Christianity is
something for men of .small calibre, for
women With DO capacity to _reason, for
children in the infant class under six
years of age, but not fur stalwart men.
Look at this man of the text! Do you
not think that the religion that could
copture such a man as that nut have
some power in it? He was a logician, he
e, as a metaphysician, he was an all -con-
quering orator'lie was a poet of the
higheet type. He had a nature that
could s w a riv the leading men of his own
day, and, hurling against the Senile-
drim, he made it tremble... He learned
all he could get in the school of 1is neiive
village: then he had gone to a higher
school, and there mastered -the Greek
and the Hebrew, aud pet feCted himself
in belles-lettres, until: iu after • years he
astonished the Cretars, and the Corin-
thians, and. the Athenians. hyqeotatione

Gospel.: Xis a glorious Gospel. It is an
all -conquering Gospel. It is an omnipo-
tent Gospel. It is the power of God and
the wisdom of God unto salvation.
Again, I learn from the itext a man
cannot becoms it Christian until he is un-
horsed. The trouble is, we want to ride
into the kingdom of God, just as the
knight rode into castle gate on palfrey,
beautifully Caparisoned: We want to'
come into the kingdom of God in fine
style No kneeling down at the altar,
not sitting on "anxious seats," no crying
over sin, no begging at the door of God's
mercy. ;Clear the road, and let us conie
in all prancing'in the pride of our soul.
No, we Will never get into heaven that
way,. We can dismount, There is no
knight-errantry in religion, no fringed
trappings of repentanCe, but an utter pros-
tration before God,a going down in the
dust. with the cry, "Unclean unclean!"
—a bewailing of the Soul, like David
from the belly of hell -s -a, going down in
the dust, until Christ shall by His grace
lift us Up as Helifted Paul,. Oh, proud;
hearted hearer, you must get off that
horse. May a light from the the throne
•of.Gocl brighter -than the sun throw you?
-Come down into the dust,and cry for
pardon, and life, and heaven. •
Again, I learn from this scene of the
text that the 'grace of God cau overcome
_the persecutor. . Christ and Paul w.ere
boys at the same time in different vil-
lages, and POI's 'antipathy to Christ was
Increasing. He hated everything about
Christ. He was going down then with
writs in his pockets to have, Christ's
disciples arrested. He was noegoing as
a sheriff goes, to arrest a man against
whomlie had no spite, but -Paul was
going doien to arrest those people be -
:cause he Was glad to arrest them, The
Bible says, "He breathed out slaughter."
He wanted them captured, and he,
wanted thern .butchered. I hear the,
click and clash, and clatter of the hoofs
of the galloping ,steeds on the *ay to -
Damascus. ,011 1 do you think. that
proud maw' ore' horseback _can ever be-
come a Christian? Yes! there is a voice
froni heaven like a thunder -clap uttering
two words, the second word the
sa,me as the first, but uttered with
more enipinrsis, so that the proud eques-
trian may have no doubt as to who is
meant, Saul! Saul !" That man was
saved, and he was a persecutor; aud so
God can by. His grace overcome any
periectitor. The days for sword aud fire
for Christians seem to have gone by.

adornments worth sixty million sesterces
clapping her hands as the Christians
died under the paw and the tooth of the
lion—that Coliseum is a ruin now. The
scene of. the Smithfield fires is a hay -
market. The day of fire aud sword for
Christians seems to have gone by; but
has the day of persecution ceased? No.
Are you not caricatured for your
religion? In proportion as you try
to serve God and, be faithful to Him, aro
you not sometimes maltreated? That
woman finds it hard to be a Chrietian,
her husband talks and jeers when she is
trying to say her prayers or read the
Bible. That daughter finds it hard -to be
a Christain with the whole family ar-
rayed against her — father, mother,
brother and sister making her the target
of ridicule. That young man finds it
hard to be a Christian in the shop, or
factory or store, when his comraclesj_eer
at him because: he will not go to the
gambling -hell or other places of iniquity.
Oh, no, the days of pereecution have, not
ceased, and will not until the end of the
world. But, ohd you persecuted ones, is
it not time thate you began to pray for
your persecutors? They are no prouder,
no fiercer, no more set in their way than
was this persecutor Of the text. He fell.
They will fall if Christ, from the heavens
grandly and glorit wily look out on thein.
God cap by His grace make a Renan be-
lieve in the divinity of Jesus, and a Tyn-
dall in the worth of prayer, Robert
Newton stamped the ship's deck in deri-
sive indignation at Christianity only a
little while before he became a Chris-
tian. "Out of my house," said a father
to his daughter, "ifiyou will keep pray-
ing;" yet before many months passed
the father knelt at the same altar with
the child. And the Lord Jesus Christ is
willing to look out frem heaven upon
that derisive opponent of the Christian
religion, and addressing him not in glit-
sering generalities, but calling him by
name. "John !, George! Henry !—
Saul 1 Saul 1 why persecutest thou Me 1"
Once more: "'learn from this euhject
that there is a tremendous reality in re-
ligion. If it had been a mere optical de-
lusion on the road to Dainascul, wasolut
Paul -just the man to find it out? If ithad
been a sham and pretense, would he not
have pricked the bubble? He was a man
of facts and argutnenss,of the most gi-
gantic intellectual nature. and not a
man of hallucinations. • And when I see
him foil from the saddle, blinded and
overwhelined, I say there must have
been soinechin„e• in it, And, my deat
brother, you will find that these is some-
thing in religion somewhere. The only
question is, where ?

Marvels .of Memory. ,
Among those who have performed
great feats of memory may be mention-
ed Dr. Fuller, author of the "Worthies
of England," He csuld repeat another
man's sermon after hearing it once, and
could repeat 500 e wets in an unknown
language after hearing teem twice. He
one day undertook to walk from Temple
Bar to the farthest end of Cheapside.
and to repeat on hisreturn every sign on
either side of the way, in order of their
occurrence—and •he did it easily. In such
feats as this the eye plays a chief part_ ;
• yet blind people also have goodmem-
ories. The. Rev. 13. • J. Johns,
chaplain of the Blind Asylum,
London, - testifies that a large num-
ber „of pupilslearn the Psalter,
and that one young • man Nvas there
who could repeat Doe only the whole of
the 1.50 Prayer -book Psalms., and a large
nu al bur of metrical psaltni and 117I111.18,
as well as a considerable amount of
modern poe,ry, including Goldstnitlea

crossing the Irish channel. At another
(line, waiting in a Cambridge coffee
house for a post -chaise, he picked up a
country newspaper commit ing t wo
poetical ' pieces — (inc - the "Refiec•
tions of an Exile,' and the other,

gave them . a furtherthought for 40
years, and then repeated them with•out

man in that rank was—Bismarck.
His right hand was twisted into his
horse's inane; his helmeted head hung
down upon his chest, so low that I could
perceive nothing of his face except the
tip of his nose and the ends of his mous-
tache. There he sat, motionless,evident-
ly in deep thought. After I had watched
him for a couple of minutes—I need'
scarcely say that, having discovered him,
I ;ceased to Wok at anybody else—he
raised his head slowly and fixed his eyes
on the -top of the Arch, which was just
in front of him, some eighty yards off.
In that position he remained, once more
motionless, for a while.
I did my best—he was only the thick-
ness of three horses from me—to make
out the expression of his face, which was
then fully exposed to me; but there was.

The Breakfast Oatmeal.
An obstinate case of ‘vater-brash or
pyrosis was traced by Sir Benjamin W.
Richardson, .to Oatmeal taken at break-
fast, 'Writing of it in an English anedi-
cal journal, Sir Benjamin sass The
story of the repetition of the attack, al-
ways at the same or about the same
hour, was so peculiar aud so often re-
peated. • I could not fail at last - to at-
tribute it to something taken at break-
fast • and finally I began to suspect that
dish of oatmeal porridge might be the :
enemy. My patient had taken this for
breakfnst for many years and had never
thought it injurious, and when I named
my suspicion, he was incredulous.
However, he look advice to leave
off oatmeal "on le ed," and from the
day of leaving it eff had no re-
turn of his sympto.es. Six months
later lie ventured the oatmeal
dietiagain, and in a week was as bad as
ever. Once more he left it off, and once
more, was completely cured. This was
observation on a patient ; but, for ex-
Periment's sake, I tried the effect of oat-
meal diet on myself', With the result Of
'setting up in a few weeks as decided an
attaCk of pyrosis AS could be observed or
felt. In my own case I found that bar-
ley water, repeated for a time, produced
the same results. After making these
observations, I continued to inquire, in
all instances of pyrosis I have since met
with, whethor oattneal formed a- part of
the diet try of those affected and 1 have
found so many • corroborative Ixperi-
euces, I am led to think there is no more
frequent cause -of pyrosis than catineal or
a sunilar fermentative fuosis
