DR, TALAIAGE PREACHES ON OB- JECTIONS TO REVIVALS. The Great Revivalist of the Past—Begin. ning of Aaron Burr's Downward Career, From Paradise to the Judgment Conlin, gration—The Stormy Sea of Life. BEOOKLYN, Dec. 2.,=, --•Dr. Talmage chose for the subject of his sermon throuethe press today "The Objeotions to Religious Revivals," from the text Luke v, 6, "They inclosed a great multitude of &hes, and their net brake." Simon and his comrades had experienced the night before what fishermen call "pool luck." Cheist storm on board the fishing smack and 'tells the sailors to pull away from the beach and directs them again tc sink the net. Sure enough, very soon the net is full of fishes, and the sailors begin . t� haul in. 'So large a school of fish was taken that the hardy men begin to look red in the face as they pull, and hardly - have they begun to rejoice at their SUCCOSE when snap goes a thread of the net, and snap goes another thread, so there is dan- ger not only of losing the fish, but of los- ing the net. Without much care as to how,much the boat tilts:or how much water is splashed on deck, the fishermen rush about, gather- ing up the broken meshesof the net. Out yonder there is a ship dancine on the wave, and they hail it, "Ship ahoy, bear down this way!" The ship combs, and botleboats, both fishing smacks, are filled with the floundering treasures. "Ah," says some one. "how much bet- ter it would have been if they had staid on shore, and fished with a hook and line, and taken one at a time, instead of having this great excitement, and the boat almost upset, and the net broken, and having to call for help, and getting sopping wet with the seal" The church is the boat, the gos- pel is the net, society is the sea, and a greatenevival is a whole school brought in at one sweep of the net. I have admira- tion for that man.who goes out with q hook and line to fish. I admire the way he unwinds the reel and adjusts the bait and drops the hook in a quiet place on a still afternoou, and here catches one and there one, but I like also a'big boat, and a large crew, and a net a mile long, and swift oars, and stout sails, and stiff breeze, and a great multitude of soul2 brought, so great a multitude that you have to get help to draw it ashore, strain- ing the not to the utmost until it breaks here and there, letting a few escape, but bringing the great multitude into eternal safety. Objections to Revivals. In ,other words, I believe in revivals. The great work of saving men began with 3,000 people joining the church in one day, and it will close with 40,000,000 or 100,- 000,000 people saved in 24 hours, when nations shall be born in a day. But there are objections to revivals. People are op: posed to them because the net might gel broken, and if by the pressiire of souls it does not get broken then they take then own Penknives and slit the net. "They in- closed a great multitude of fishes, and the net brake." It is sometimes opposed to revivals ell religion that those who come into the church at snob times do not hold out. As long as there is a gale of blessing they have their sails up, but as soon as strong winds stop blowing then they drop into a dead calm. But what are the facts in the case? In all our churches the vast ma- jority of the useful people aro those who are brought in under great awakenings, and they bold out. Wbo are the prominent men .in the United States in churches, in prayer meetings, in Sabbath schools? Fos the most part they are the product of great awakenings. 1 have noticed that those who are brought into the kingdom of God through revivals have more persistence and more determination in the Christian life than those who-oome in under a low state el eeligion. People born in an icehouse may live, but they Will never get over the cold they caught in the icehouse. .A cannon ball depends upon the impulse with which it starts for how far it shall go and how swiftly, and the greater the revival force with which a soul is started the more far- reaching and far resounding vsill be the execution. s But it is sometimes objected to revivals that there is so much excitement that peo- ple mistake hysteria for religion. A Useful Excitement.. We must admit that in every revival oi religion there is either a suppressed or a demonstriited. excitement. Indeed if a man can go Out of a state of condemnation into a state of acceptance with God, or see oth- ers go, without any agitation of soul, he Is in an unhealthy, morbid state and is as repulsive and absurd as a man who should boast be saw a child snatched out from under a horse's hoofs and felt no agitation, or saw a man rescued from the fourth story of a house on fire and felt no acceler- ation of the pulses. Salvation from sin and death and hell Into life and peace and heaven forever is such a tremendous thing that if a rnan tells me he can look on it without any agi- tation I doubt his Christianity. The fact Is that sometimes excitement is the most important possible thing. In case of re- suscitation from drowning or freezing the one idea is to excite animation. Before con- version we are dead. It is the business of the 'church to revive, arouse, awaken, re- suscitate, startle into life. Excitement is bad or good according to what it makes us do. If it makes us do that which is bad, it is bad excitement, but if it make us agi- tated about our eternal welfare, if it make us pray, if it make us attend upon Chris- tian service, if it- make us cry unto God for mercy, then it is a good excitement. It is sometimes said that during revivals of religion great multitudes of children and young people are brought into the church, and they do not know what they are about. It has been my observation that the earlier people come into the king- dom of God the more'useful they are. , Robert Hall, the prince of Baptist preachers, was converted at 12 years of age. It is supposed be knew what he was about. Matthew Henry, the commenta- tor, who did more than any man of his century for increasing the interest in the study of the Scriptures, was converted at ,11 years of age; Isabella Graham, immor- tal in the Christian church, was converted at,10 years of age; Dr. Watts, whose hymns 'will be sung all down the ages, was con- eorted at 9 years of age; Jonathan Ed- wards, perhaps the mightiest intellect that the American pulpit ever produced, was converted at 7 years of age, and that father and matter take an awful responsibility when triey tell their child at 7 years of age, "You are too young to be a Chris- tians" or "You are too young to connect yourself with the church." That is a mis- take as long as eternity. 1. If during a revival two persons present themselves as candidates for the church, and the one -is 10 years of age and the oth- er is 40 years of age, I will have more con- fidence in the profession of religion of the one 10 years of age than the one 40 years of age. Why? The one who professes at 40 years of age has 40 years of impulse in the wrong direction to correct; the child has only 10 years in the wrong direction to correct. Four thnes 10 are 40. Four times the religious prospect for the lad that comes into the kingdom of God and into the church at 10 years of age than the man EMIG% am very apt to look upon revivals as connected with certain men who fostered them. People who in this day do not like revivals nevertheless have not words to express their admiration for the revivalists of the past for they were revivalists— Jonathan Edwards, John Wesley, George Whitefield, Fletcher, Griffin, Davies, Os - bore, Knapp, Nettleton and many others whOse names come to my mind. The strength of their intellect and the holiness of heir lives make me think they would not have anything to do with that which we ephemeral. Oh, it is easy to talk against revivals. 4 man said to Mr. Dawson: "I like your serMons vereemuch, but the after meet- ings lI despise. When the prayer meeting be ins, I always go up into the gallery an look down, and I am disgusted." "Well " said Mr. Dawson, "the reason Is yo4i go on the top of your neighbor's house anI look down his chimney to examine his fir , and of course you only get smoke in yeti r eyes. Why don't you come in the door and sit down and warns?" s The Downward Road. h, I am afraid to say anything against roe ivals of religion, or against anything thilt looks like them, because I think it ra y be a sin against the 1:Toly Ghost, and know the Bible says that a sin against the Holy Ghost shall never be forgiven nelIther in this world nor the world to co el Now, if you are a painter, and sp ak against our pictures, do I not Speak against you? If you are an architect, and I peak against a building you put up, do I ot speak against you? If a revival be tht'r work of the Holy Ghost, and I speak aiWrist that revival, do I not speak against the Holy Ghost? And whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, says the Bible, he shall never be forgiven, neither in this World nor in the world to come. I think s rnetimes people have made a fatal mis- t'ke in this direction. IMany of you know the history of Aaron BUrr. He was one of the most brilliant mien of Ms day. I suppose this country never produced a stronger intellect. He was capable of doing aa4thing good and great for his country or for the church of God had he been- rightly disposed, but his name is associated with treaeon against the United States government, which ho tried to overthrow, and with libertinism and public immorality. Do you know where Aaron Burr started on the downward road? It was when lie was in college, and. he became anxious about his soul and was about to put him- self under the influences of a revival, and a nsinister of religion made "Don't go there, Aaron; don't go there. That's a place of wildfire and great excitement. No 'religion- about that. Don't go there." He tarried away. His serious impression's de- parted,. He started on tbo downward road. And who is responsible for his ruin? Was It the minister who warned Isim against that revival? The Real Difficulty. When- I am speaking of excitement in revivals, of course I do nOt mean tempo- rary derangement of the nerves. I do not mean the absurd things of which we have read as transpiring sometimes in the church of Christ, but I mean an intelli- gent, intense, all absorbing agitation of body, mind and soul in the work of spir- itual escape and spiritual rescue. Now I come to the real, genuine cause of objection to revivals. That is the cold- ness of the objector. It is the secret and hidden but unmistakable cause in every case, a low state of religion in the heart. Wide awake, consecrated,useful Christians are never afraid of revivals. It is the spir- itually dead who are afraid of having their sepulcher molested. The chief agents of the devil during a great awakening are al- ways unconverted professors of religion. As soon as Christ's work begins they be- gin to gossip against it and take a pail of water and try to put out this spark of re- ligious influence, and they try to put out another spark. Do they succeed? As well when Chicago was on fire inight some one have gone out with a garcon water pot trying to extieguish it. The difficulty is that whee a revival be- gins in a church it begins at so many points that while you have doused One anxious soul with a pail of cold water there are 500 other anxious souls on fire. Oh, how much better it would be to lay hold of the chariot of Christ's gospel and help pull iPion rather than to fling ourselves in front of the wheels, trying to block their progress! We will not stop the chariot, but we ourselves will be ground to powder. Did you ever hear that there was a con- vention once held among the icebergs in the Arctic? It seems that the summer was coming on, and the sun was getting hot- ter and hotter, and there was danger that the whole icefleld would break up and flow away. So the tallest, and the coldest, and the broadest of all the icebergs, the very king of the exotics, stood at the head of -the convention, and with * gavel of ice smote on a table of ice calling -the conven- tion to order. But the sun'aept growing in intensity of beat, and th0 south wind blew stronger and stronger; ; and soon all the icefleld began to grincil up, iceberg against iceberg, and to flowtaway. The was, ``Reseivedethat we (shelf ,the sun." first resoletion passed by thlhconvention But the sun would not be abolished. The heat of the sun grew greater and greater until after awhile. the very king of the icebergs began to perspire under the glow, and the smaller icebergs fell ever, and thescry was: "Too much exeitement. Order! - Order!" Then the whole body, the whole field, of lee began to flow out, and a thousand voices began to ask: "Where are we going to now? Where are we floating to? We will all break to pieces." By this time the icebergs had reached the gulf stream, and they were melted into the bosom of the At- lantic ocean. The warm sun is the eternal spirit. The icebergs are frigid Christians. The warm gulf stream is a great revival. The ocean into which ev- erything melted is the great, wide heart of the pardoning and synipathizing God. An Unconverted Ministry. But I think, after all, the greatest ob- stacle to revivals throughout Christendom today is an unconverted ministry. We must believe that the vast majority of those who officiate. at sacred altars are re- generated, but T suppose there may float into the ministry of all the denominations of Christians men whose hearts have ,never been changed by the grace of God. Of course they are all antagonistic to re- vivals. How did they get into the ministry? Perhaps some of them chose it as a respec- table profession. Perhaps some chose it as a means of livelihood. Perhaps some of them were sincere, bit were mistaken. As Thomas Chalmers said, he had been many years preaching the gospel before his heart had been changed, and, as many ministers of the gospel declare, they were preaching and had been ordained to sacred orders years and years -before their hearts were regenerated.- Gracious God, what a solemn thought for those of us who min- ister at the altar! With the present min- istry in the present temperature of piety the world will never be enveloped with re- vivals. While the pews on ono side the altar cry for mercy the pulpits on the other side the altar must crYfor mercy. Ministers quarreling, ministers trying to pull each other down, ministers struggling for ecclesiastical place, ministers lethargic with whole congregations dying on their hands. What a spectacle! Aroused pulpits will male aroused pews. Pulpits aflame will make pews aflame. Everebads helieveat in aaavlial in trade, s everybody likes a revivalin literature, ev- erybody likes a revival in art, yet a great multitude cannot understand a revival .in matters of religion. . Depend upon it, where you find a Man antagonistic ,to re- vivals, whether he be in pulpit or pew, he needs to be regenerated by the grace of God. Volunteers Wanted. I could prove tti) a demonstration that without renivals this world will never be converted, and that in 100 or 200 years without revivals Christianity will be prac- tically extinct. It is a matter of astound- ing arithmetic. In eech of our modern generations there are at least 82,000,000 children. Now add 82,000,000 to the world's population, and then have only 100,000 or 200,000 oenverted every year, and how long before the world will be saved? Never—absolutely never! During our war the president of the United States made proclamation for 75,- 000 troops. Some of you remember the big stir. But the King of the universe to- day asks for 800,000,000 more troops than are enlisted, and we want it done softly, imperceptibly, gently, no excitement, one by one! You are a dry goods merchant on a large -scale, and I am a merchant on a small scale, and I cometo you and want to buy 1,000 yards of cloth. Do you say: "Thank you. sell you 1,000 yards of cloth, but I'll sell you 20 yards today, and 20 to- morrow, and 20 the next day, and if it takes me six months I'll sell you the Whole 1,000 yards. You will want as long as that to examine the goods, and wantias long as that to examine the credit, and, besides that, -1,000 yards of cloth are too much to sell all at once?" No; you do not say that. You take me into the count- ing room, and in ten minutes the whole transaction is consummated. The fact is we cannot afford to be fools in anything but religion! _ That very merchant who on Saturday afternoon sold me the 1,000 yards of cloth at one stroke the next Sabbath in church will "stroke his beard and wonder whether it would not be better for 1,000 souls to come. straggling along for ten years, in- stead of bolting in at ono service. We talk a good deal about the good tines that aro coming and about the world's re- demption. How long before they will come? There is a man who says 600 years. Here is a man who says 200 years. Here is some one more confident who says in 60 years. What, 50 years? Do you propose to let two generations pass off tho stage before the world is converted? A Vast Enterprise. Suppose by some extra prolongation 'of human life at the next 50 years you should walk around the world, you would not in all that walk find one person that you recognize. Why? All dead or so changed you would not know them., In other words, if you postpone the redemp- tion of this world for 50 years, you admit that the majority of the two whole gener- ations shall go off the stage unblessed ,and unsaved. I tell you the ehurch of Jesus Christ cannot conseht to it. We must pray aad toil and have the revival spirit, and we must struggle to have the whole world saved before the men and women now in middle life pass off. "Oh," you say, "it is too vast an enter- prise to be conducted in so short a time!" Do you know how long it would take to save the whole world if each man would bring another? It would take ten years. By a calculation in compound interest, each man bringing another, and that one another, and that one another, in ten years the whole world would be saved. If the world is not saved in the next ten years, it will be the fault of the church of Christ. Is it too much to expect each one to bring one? Some of us mut bring more than one, for some will not do their duty. I want to bring 10,000 souls. I should be ashamed to meet my God in judgment if, with all nay opportunities of commending Christ to the people, 1 couldnot bring 10,- 000 smile. But it will all depend upon the revival spirit. The hook and line flilain,g will not do it. It seems to me as if God is preparing the world for some quick and universal movement. .A celebrated electrician gave me a telegraph chart of the world. On Shat chart the wires crossing the conti- nents and the cables under the sea looked like veins red with blood. On that chart I see that the headquarters of the lightnings are in Great Britain and the United States.

IT'S A MILLSTONE About a young man's neck to be a sufferer from ner- vous exhaustion, ner- vous debility, kaapair- ed memory, low spirits, irritable tem- per, and the thousand and one derangements of mind and body that result from, unnatural, pernicious habits, contracted through ignorance.
