ONTARIO. Initimismanni NO WITNESSES REOUIRED 'ME -SICK GENER,AL, REV. T. DE WITT TALMAGE DWELLS ON THE LEPROSY OF Suffering Sent Into the World to Show the Way to Higher Joys -Spiritual Happi- ness Attained Through a Humble Spirit. Moral Lepers. I BROOKLYN, Nov. 18. -Rev. Dr. Talmage has chosen as the subject of today's ser- mon through the press "The Stek Gen- eral," the text aoleoted being II Kings v, 1, "He was a leper." Here we have a warrior, sick, not with pleurisies or rhoumatisms or c,onsump- tions, but widen disea se worse than all these put to,gother. A red mark has come out on the forehead, precursor of complete disftg- urement and dissolution: I have some- thbag awful to tell you. General Naaman, the erommaltder in chief of all the Syrian forces, has tho leprosy! It is on his hands, on his face, on his feet, on his entire per- son. The leprosy! Get out of the way oi the pestilence! If his breath serike you, you are a dead man. The commander in chief of all the forces of Syria! Andyet he would be glad to exchange conditions with the boy at his stirruo or tho hostler that blankets his oharger. The news gooe like wildfire all through the maim, and the people aro sympathetic; and they cry out, , "Is it possible that our great hero, vehn slew Ahab and around whom we came with such vociferation when ho returned from victorious battle -can it be possible that our grand and glorious Newnan has the leprosy?" Yes. Everybody has something he wishes he had not -David, an Absalom to dis- grace him; Paul, a there to sting him; Job, carbuncles to plague him; Samson, a Delilah to shear him; Ahab, a Naboth to deny him; "'Inman, a Mordecai to irritate him; George Washington, childlessness to afflict him; John Wesley, a termagant wife to pester him; Leah, werik eyes; Pope, a crooked back; Byron, a club foot; John Milton, blind eyes; Charles Lamb, an insane sister, and you and you and you and you something which you never bar- gained for and would like to get rid of. Tho reason of this is that God does not want,this world to be too bright. Other- wise we would always want to stay and eat these fruits and lie on these lounges and shake hands in this pleasant society. At the Door of the Temple. We are only in the vestibule of a 'grand temple. God does not want us to stay on the doorstep, and therefore he sends aches and annoyances end sorrows and bereave- ments of all sorts to push us on and push us ud toward riper fruits and brighter socie- ty and more radiant prosperities. God is only whipping us ahead. Tho reason that Edward Payson and Robert Hall had more rapturous views of heaven than other peo- ple had was because, through their aches and pains, God pushed them nearer up to it. If God dashes out one of your pictures, it is only to show to you a brighter one. If he sting your foot with gout, your brain with neuralgia, your tongue with an inex- tinguishable thirst, it is only because he is preparing to substitute. a better hody than you ever dreamed of when the mortal shall put on immortality. It is to push you on and to push you up toward something grander and bettor that God sends upon you, as he did upon Gen- eral Naaman something you do not want. .Seated in his Syrian mansion, all the walls glittering with the shields which he had captured in battle, the corridors crowded with admiring visitors who just wanted to see him Once, music and mirth and banqueting filling all the mansion from tessellated floor to pictured ceiling, Naaman would have forgotten that there was anything better and would have been glad to stay there 10,000 years. But, oh, how tho shields dim, and how the visitors fly the hall, and how the music drops dead from the string, and how the gates of the mansion slam shut with sepulchral bang, as you read the closing words of the eulo- glum: "He was a leper! He was a leper!" There was one person more sympathetic with General Neuman than any other per- son. Naaman's wife walks the floor wringing her hands and trying to think what she can do to alleviate her husband's suffering. All remedies have failed. The surgeon general and the doctors of the roy- al staff have met, and they have shaken their heads, as much as to say, "No cure, no cure!" I think that the office seekers had all folded up their recommendations and gone home. Probably most of the em- ployees of the establishment had dropped their work and were thinking of looking for some other situation. What shall now become of poor Naaman's wife? She must have sympathy somewhere. In her despair she goes to a little Hebrew captive, a servant girl in her house, to whom she tells the whole story, as sometimes, when overborne by the sorrows of the world and finding no sympathy auywhere else, you have gone out aud found in the sympathy of some humble domestic -Rose or Dinah or Bridget -a help which the world could not give you. What a scone it was! Ono of the grand- est women in all Syria in cabinet council -with a waiting maid over the declining health of the mighty general. "I know something," says the little captive maid, "I knew something," as she bounds to her belie feet. "In the land from which I was Stolen there is a certain prophet known by the name of Elisha, who can euro almost anything, and I shouldn't wonder if he could cure my master. Send for him right away." "Oh, hush!" you say. "If the highest medical talent in all the land cannot cure that leper, there is no need of your listening to any talk of a servant girl." But do not scoff, do not sneers: The finger of that little captive maid is pointing in the right direction. - She might have said: "This is a judgment upon you for stealing me from: ray native land. Didn't they snatch me off in the night, breaking my father's and mother's hearts, and niany a time I have lain and cried all night because I was so homesick." Then, flushing up into childish indignee tion, she might have said: "Good for them. I'm glad Newnan's got the leprosy. I wish all the Syrians had the leprosy!" No. • Forgetting her personal sorrows, she sym- pathizes with the suffering of her master and commends him to tho famous Hebrew prophet. A Little Child Leads Them. And how often it is that the finger of childhood has pointed grown persons in the right direction! 0 Christian soul, how long is it since you got rid of the leprosy of sin? You say: "Let me see. It must be five years now." Five years. Who was it that pointed You to. the divine physi- cian? "Oh," yeu say, -"it was my little Amie or Fred or Charley that clambered up on my knees and looked into my face and asked me why 'didn't become a Chris- tian, and all the time stroking my cheek, so I couldn't get angry, insisted upon knowing why I didn't have family pray- ers." There are grandparents who have been brought .to Christ by their little grandchildren. There are hundreds ne Christian mothers who had their attontior first called to Jesus by their little chil dren. How did you get rid of the leprosy of sin? How did you find your way to the divine physician? "Oh," you say, "me child, my dying child, with wan tine wasted finger, pointed that way. Oh, never shall forget," you say, "that scene at the cradle and the nrib that awfui night! It was hard, hard, very hard, bui If tbat little one on its deb= bed had red voalsvouanEt TiO tiniest 1 nowt think 1. eve; would have got rid of my leprosy." GC into the Sabbath school any Sunday, Hod you will find hundreds of little fingert pointing in the same direction, toward Jesus Christ and toward heaven. Years ago the astronomers calcuIatee. that there must be a world hanging at a certain point in the heavens, and a large prize was offered for some ono who could discover that world. The telescopes from the great observatories were pointed it vain, but a girl at Nantucket, Mass., fash toned a telescope, and looking through 11 discovered that star and won the prize and the admiration of all the astronomical world that stood amazed at her genius And do it 'soften the case that grown peo ple cannot see the light, while some little child beholds the star of pardon, the star of hope, the star of consolation, the star of Bethlehem, the morning star of Jesus. "Not many mighty inen, not many- wise men, are called, hut God bath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty, and base things and things that are not to bring to naught things that are." 0h, do not despise the prattle of lit- tle children when they are speaking about God and Christ and heaven. You sco the way your child is pointine. Will you take that pointing or vealt until, in the wrench of mine awful bereavement, God shall lift that child to another world, and then it will beckon you upveardt Will you take the pointing, or will you wait foe the beck- oning?. Blessed be God that the little Hebrew captive pointed in the right direc- tion. Blessed be God for the saving min- istry of Christian children. • Seeking the Prophet. No wonder the advice of this little He- brew eruptive threw all Naaman's mansion and Ben-hadad's palace into excitement. Goodby, Neaman! With face scarified and ridged and inflamed by the pestilence and elided by those who supported him an eithet side, he staggers out to the chariot. Hold fast the fiery coursers of the royal stable while the poor sick man lifts his swollen foot and pain struck limbs in to the vehicle. Bolster him up with the pillows and let him take a liugering look at his bright apartment, for perhaps the Hebrew captive may bo mistaken, and thoext time Naa- man conies to that place he may be a.dead weight on the shoulders of those who carry him,an expired chieftain seeking sepulture amid the lamentations of an admiring na- tion. Goodby, Naaman! Lot the char- ioteer drive gently over tho hills of Her- mon, lest ho jolt the invalid. Here goes the bravest man of all his day, a captive of a horrible disease. As the ambulance winds through the streets of Damascus the tears and prayers of all the people go after the world renowned invalid. Perhaps you have had an invalid go out from your house on a health excursion. You know bow the neighbors stood around and said, "Ah, ho will never comm back again alive!" Oh, it was a solemn mo- ment, I tell you, when the if -valid had de- parted, and you went into the,.room to make the bed, and to remomathe medicine • vials from the shelf, and to *throw open the shutters, so that the fresh air might rush into the long dosed room. Goodby, ,Naaman! There is only one cheerful face looking at lihneand that is the face of the little Hebrew captive, who Is sure he will get mired, and who is so glad she helped him. As the chariot winds out, and the escort of mounted couriers, and the mules, laden With sacks of gold and silver and, embroidered suits of apparel, went through the gates of Damascus and out on the long way, the hills of Naphtali and Ephraim look down on the procession, and the ret- inue goes right past the battlefields where Naaman, in the days of his health, used to rally his troops for fearful onset, and then the procession stops and reclines awhile in the groves of olive and oleander, and General Naama,n so sick, so very, very sick! How the countrymen gaped as the pro- cession passed! They had seen Newnan go past like a whirlwind in days gone by and had stood aghast at the clank of his war equipments, but now they commiserate him. They say: "Poor man! He will never get home alive. Poor man!" General Naaman wakes up from a rest- less sleep in the chariot, and he says to the charioteer, "How long before we shall reach the Prophet Elisha?' ' Tho charioteer says to a waysider, "How far is it to Elisha's house?" He says, "Two miles." "Two miles?" Then they whip up the lathered and fagged out horses. The whole procession brightens up at the prospect of speedy arrival. They drive up to the door of the prophet. TN) charioteers shout "Whoa!" to the horses, and tramping hoofs and grinding wheels cease shaking the earth. Come out, Elisha, come out. You have company. The grandest com- pany that over came to your boils.° has come to it now. No stir inside Elisha's house. The fact was the Lord had in- formed Elisha that the sick captain was coming and just how to treat him. In- deed when you are sick and the Lord wants you to get well he always tells the doctor how to treat you, and the reason we have so many bungling doctors is because they depend upon their own strength and •instructions and not on the Lord God, and that always makes malpractice. Come out, Elisha, and attend to your business. Puffed Up With Pride. General Naaman and his retinue vvaited and waited and waited. The fact was Naaman had two diseases -pride and lep- rosy. The one was as bard to get rid of as the other. Elisha sits quietly in his house and does not go out. After awhile, when he thinks he has humbled this proud man, he says to a servant, "Go out and tell Gen- eral Naaman to bathe seven times in the river Jordan out yonder five miles, and he will get entirely well." The •message conies out. " What!" says the commander in chief of the Syrian forces, his eye kin- dling with an animation which it had not shown for weeks and his swollen foot stamping on the bottom of the chariot, re- gardless of pain. "What! Isn't he com- ing out to see me? Why, I thought cer- tainly he would come and utter sonic cab- alistic words over me or make some enig- matical passes over my wounds. Why, I don't think he knows who I am. Isn't he coming out? Why, when the Shuna- mite woman came to him, he rushed out and cried: 'Is it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with thy child?' And will he treat a poor unknown woman like that and let me, a titled per- sonage, sit here in my chariot and wait and wait? I won't endure it any longer. Charioteer, drive on! Wash in the Jordan! Hal ,hal The slimy Jordan, tho muddy Jordan, the monotonous Jordan! I wouldn't be seen viashina in such a river as that. Why, we watered our horses In 6 better river than that on our way here - the beautiful river, the jasper paved rive' of Pharpar. Besides that we have in mil country another Damascene river, Abana, with foliaged bank and torrent ever swift and ever clear, under the flickering shad- ows of sycamore and oleander. Aro not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damaecus, • better than all the waters of Israel?" • I suppose Naaman felt very much as Americans would feel if, by way of rned- ical prescription, some one should tell us to go and wash in the Danube or the Rhine. We would answer, "Are not the Connesticut and the Hudson just as good ?" Or as an Englishman would feel if he were told, by way of medical prescription, he must go and wash in the MieMssippi or the St. Lawrence. He would cry out, ; "Are not the Thames and the Shannon 1 just as well?" The fact was that haughty Naaman needed to learn what every Eng- ! lishrnan and every American need: to - . . • - etet • Tv Anna IIOU VOUS YOU te eta : tning you must go and dolt, whether you understand the reason or not. Take the, prescription, whether you like it or not. One thing is certain. Unless haughty Newnan does as Ensile commands him he will die of his awrul sickness. And un- less you do as Clain commands you you will be seized upon by an overlasting:wast- ing away. Obey and live; disobey and die. Thrilling, overarching, undergirding, stu- pendous alternative! Elisba Angers Nearness. Well, General Nauman could not stand the test. The charioteer gives a jerk to the right lino until the bit seems in the horse's mouth, and the whir of the wheels and the flying of tho dust show the in- dignation of the great commander. • "He turned and went away in a rage." So people now often get mad at religion. They vituperate against ministers, against churches against -Christian people. Ono would think from their irate behetylor that God had been studying how to elinoy and exasperate and demolish them. What has he been doing? Only trying to cure their death • dealing leprosy. That is all. Yet they whip np their horses, they dig in the spurs, and they go away in a rage. ette. So, after all, it seems that this klth excursion of General Naaman is tee be a dead failure. That little Hebrew captive might as well have not told hint of the prophet, and this long journey might as well not have been taken. Poor, sick, dy- ing Neaman! Are you going away in high dudgeon and worse than when you caine? As his chariot halts a moment his serv- ants clamber up in it and coax him to do as Elisha said. They say: "It's easy. • If the Prophet had told you to walk for a mile on sharp spikes in order to get rid of this awful disease, you would have done It. It is easy. Come, my lord, just get down and wash in the Jordan. You take a bath every day anyhow, and in this cli- mate it is so hot that it will do you good. Do it on our account, and for the sake of the army you connnand, and for the sake of the nation that admires you. Come, my lord, just try this Jordanic bath." "Well," he says, "to please you I will do as you say." The retinue drive to the brink of the Jordan. The horses paw ancl neigh to get into tho stream themselves and cool their hot flanks. General Naa- man, assisted by his attendants, gots down out of his chariot and painfully comes to tho brink of the river and ekps in until the water comes to the ankle rind goes on deeper until tho water comes to the girdle, • and now, standing so far down in the stream, just a little inclination of the head will thoroughly immerse him. He bows once into the flood and comes up and shakes the water out of nostril and ego, and his attendants look at him and soy, "Why, general, how much better you do look!" And be bows a second time into the flood and comes up, and the wild stare is gone out of his eye. He bows the third thno into the flood and comes up, and the shriveled flesh has got smooth again. Ile bows the fourth time into theflood and conics up, and the hair that had fallen out is restored in thick locks again all over the brow. He bows the fifth time into the flood and comes up, and tho hoarseness has gone out of his throat. Ho bows the sixth time and comes up, and all the sore- ness and anguish have gone out of the limbs. "Why," be sena, "I am almost well, but I will make a complete cure," and he bows the seventh time into the flood, and he comes up, and not so much as a fester'or a scale, or an eruption as big as thehead of a pin is to be seen on him. He steps out on the banks and says, "Is It possible?" And the attendants look and say, "Is it possible?" And as, with the health of an athlete, he bounds back into the chariot and drives on there goes up from all his attendants a wild ".Eluzza! Huzza!" Of course they go back to pay and thank the man of God for his counsel so fraught with wisdom. When they left the prophet's house, they went off mad. They have come back glad. People always think bettor of a minister after they are converted than they do before conversion. Now we are to them an intolerable nui- sance because we tell them to do things that go against the grain, but some of us have a great many letters from those who tell us that once they were angry at what we preached, but afterward gladly received the gospel at our hands. They once called us fanatics or terrorists or enemies. Now they call us 'friends. Yonder is a man who said he would never come into the church • again. He said that two years ago. He said; "My family shall never come here again if such doctrines as that are preach- ed." But he Caine again, and his family came -again. Ho is a Christian, his wife a Christian, all his children Christians, the whole household Christians, and you shall dwell with them in the house of the Lord forever.

He had to get down out of his chariot, and you have got to get down out of the chariot of your pride if you ever become a Christian. You cannot drive up to the cross with a coach and four and be saved among all the spangles. You seem to think that the Lord is going to be com- plimented by your coming. Oh, no, you poor, miserable, scaly, leprous sinner, get down out of that! Wo all come in the same haughty way. We expect to ride into the kingdom of God. Never, until we get down on our knees, will we find mercy. The Lord has unhorsed us, unoharioted us. Get down out of your pride. Get down out of your self righteousness and your hypercriticism. We have all got to do that. That is the journey we have to make on our knees. It is our infernal pride that keeps us from getting rid of the leprosy of sin. Dear Lord, what have we to be proud of? Proud of our scales? Proud of our uncleanness?
