TALMAGE :ON PROC wings DUE TO ANCESTRY. But, No Matter What Our Birthrl • t May Be, We Can Be Sons and Dau hters of God and Mein of Immortality A Glo- rious Inheritance. WASHINGTON, July 26.—This se on by Ttev. Dr. Talmage on heredity w bring ell the familYrecords into requisi ion and lead people to study their own p oclivity toward good or evil. The text ch sen was I Samuel xvii, 58, "Whose son 'a thou, thou young man?" Never was there a more unequ 1 fight than that between David and °Bath; David 5 feet high, Goliath 10; avid a shepherd boy brought up amid rural mines, Goliath a warrior by pnbfession; Goliath a mountian of braggadoci , David a marvel of hiunility; Goliath ar ed with an iron. spear, David armed wit a sling with smooth Acmes from the broor. But you are not to despise these latt4r weap- ons. A. Mighty Weapon. There Was a regiment of :slingere in t Assyrian army, and a regiment of sling in the Egyptian army, and they Made rible execution, and they could cast a sto with as much accuraoy and force as n can be sent shot or shell The Greeks their array had slingers who would thr eeaden plummets inscribed with the i tating words, "Take this!" Se it was mighty weapon David employed in th famous combat. A Jewish rabbi says th the probability is that Goliath was in su eontempt for David that in a paroxysm laughter he threw his head back and helmet fell off, and David saw the uncev ed forehead, and his opportunity had com and takingthis sling and .swinging around his head two or three times a aiming it at that uncovered forehead eras ed it in like an eggshell. The battle ov behold the tableau: King Saul sitting; 1 tle David standing, his fingers clutoh into the hair of decapitated Goliath. Saul sees David standing there holding his. hand . the ghastly, reeking, stari trophy, evidence of the complete victo over God's enemies,the king wonde what parentage was honored by such her ism, and in my text he asks David h pedigree, "Whose son art thou, thou you inan?" • The king saw what you and I see, -th this question of heredity is a mighty que tion. The longer I live the moro I belle in .blood—good blood, bad blood, prou blood, humble blood, hauest blood, thie ing blood, heroic blood, cowardly , bloo The tendency may skip a generation two, but it is sure to come out, as in a li tle:ehild. you sometimes see a similarity a great-grandfather whose picture ban on the walL That the physical andmenta and moral qualities are . inheritable is pa ent -to any one who keeps his eyes opo The similarity is so striking sometimes t to be :amusing. Great families, regal lithrary, are apt to have thehharacteristi all deism through the generafiens, an *hat is more perceptible in such fa may be seen on a smaller scale lit all fain iliee. A thousand years haveno power obliterate the difference. The large lip o the house of Austria is seen in all the gen erations and is called. the llapsburg lip The house Of Stuart always .means in a generations cruelty and bigotry and sensu ality. Witness • Queen of Scots, witnes Charles I and Charles II, witness James and James II and all the other scoundrel of that line. Scottish blood means per sistence, English blood means reverenc for the 'ancient, Welsh blood, means Tell giosity, Danish- bloodimeans foncliiess fo the sea, ,Indian blood ineans roaming dis position; Celtic blood means fervidity, Ro man blood means conqught. The -Jowls facility for accumulation you may tree :clear back to Abraham; of whom the Bibi says "he was rich in silver and gold an .cattle," and to Isaac and Jacob, Who had the same characteristics. Some familie are characterized by longevity, and ' the have a tenacity. of life positively Methusel ishe 'Others are characterized by Goliathian stature, and you ca,n see it for one genera, tion, two generations, five generations—in all the generations. Vigormes theology runs down in the line of the Alexanders. Tragedy runs on in the family of the Kerubles. Literature runs on in the- line of the lhollopes. Philan- thropy runs on in the lino of the Wilber - forces. Statesmanship runs on in the line of the Adamses. You. see these peculiari- ties in all generations. Henry and Cather- ine of Navarre religious, all their families religious. The celebrated family of the Ca,sini, all mathematicians. The cele- "brated family of the Medici,- grandfather, son and Catherine, all remarkable for keen intellect. The celebrated family .of Gus- tavus Adolphus, all warriors. This law of heredity asserts itself without reference to social or political condition, for you some- times the ignoble in high place and the honorable in obscure place. A descend- ant of Edward I a tollgatherer. A de- Scendant �f Edward III a doorkeeper. A descendant of the Duke of Northumber- land a trunkmaker. Some of the mighti- est -families of England are extinct, while me of those. most.honored in the peerage o back to an ancestry of hard knuckles d rough exterior. .Whose Son Art Thou? This law of heredity is entirely independ, t of social or political, conditions. Then u find avarice and jealousy and sensu- ity. and fraud having full swing in some mines. The violent temper of Frederick Mien' is the inheritance of Frederick the eat. it is not a theory founded by orldly philosophy, but by tdivine author- .

As much as if you uld say, "The centripetal force in na- e has a tendency to bring everything to center, and therefore all eorne to.the ter. The . centrifugal force in nature a tendency to throw everything to the iphery, and therefore everything will go to the periphery." - 'ou know as well as I know that you nufke the ceatripetal force ovecromo centrifugal, and you can make the cen- egal. overcome thee centripetal, - as on there is a 'mighty tide of good in a nily that may be overcome by determine - u to Jil—as in. the case of Aaron n1.11.2, libertine,. who leed for tether Presi- t Binh, the conseerated; as in the case Pierrepont Edwards, the scourge of New rk society 80 years ago, who hada ristian ancestry—while, on the other d, some of.the best men and w_amen of s day are those who have come of an estry of which it would not be °mirth - to speak in their presence.

How did she cause eue to kneel by my little bed and put my little hands up in the attitude of prayer! How has she knelt ,by me and over me, and I have felt her warm tears raining down upon my hands and face! "Blessed mother, did you pray in vain for your boy? It shall not be in vain. Ah, no, no; it shall not be in vain! I will pray •for myself. Who has sinned against so - much ,instruction as I have—against so ; many precious -prayers put •up to heaven for me by one of the most kmely, tender, pious, confiding, trpsting of motshere in her heavenly Father's care and grace? She never doubted. She believed. She always prayed as if She did. My Bible my moth- er's Bible and my conscience teach what] am and what I have made myself. Oh, the bitter pangs of an accusing conscience! I need a Saviour mighty to save. I must seek him. I wilL I am. otuthe sea of ex- istence, and I can never get off from it. I am afloat. No anchor, no rudder, no eom- pass, no book of in4truetions, for I have put them all awciei from nie. Saviour of the perishing, save or I perLsh I" Do you wonder that the next day he arose in prayer meeting and said: 'My brethren, I stand before you a monument of God's amazing mercy and goodness, Forever .blessed be his holy name! All I have and all I am I consecrate to Jesus, my Saviour and my - God." Oh, the power of ancestral prayer! Hearlt! Hear it! Heirs of Immortality. ea But I turn for a moment to those who had evil parentage, and I want to tell you that the highest thrones in heaven and the mightiest triumphs and the brightest crowns will be for those who had evil pa- rentage, but who by the grace of God con- quered—conquered. As good, les useful, as splendid a gentleman As I ever knew had for a father amen who died blasphem- ing God until the neighbors had to put their fingers in their ears to shut out the horror.. One of the most consecrated and useful Christian ministers of today was the son of a drunken horse jockey. Tide of evil is tremendous in somefamilies. It is like Niagara rapids, and yet men have clung to a rock and been rescued. There is a family in New York, who% wealth has rolled up into:. many millions, that was founded by a man who, after he had vast estate, sent back a paper of tacks because they were 2 cents more than he expected. Grip and grind -,and gouge in the fourth generation,- I suppose itwill be grip and grind and gouge in the twentieth generation. The thirst of intoxicants has burned down through the arteries of a hundred and fifty years. Pugnacity or combativeness characterizes other families. Sometimes one form of evil, sometimes_ another form of evil. But it may be re- sisted it has been resisted. If the family frailty, be avarice, cultivate unselfishness and charity and teach your children never to eat an apple without ofteriug 'somebody else half of it. Is the faMily frailty coin- bativeness, keep out of the company of quick tempered -people and never answer an impertinent question until you have counted a. hundred both ways, and a.ftert yeu have Written an angry letter keep it a week before you send .it, and then burn it up. Is the family frailty timidity and cowardice, cultivate backbone. Read the bloebraphy of brave inen like Joshua or Paul and see if you cannot get a little iron in your blood. Find out what the family frailty is and -set body, mind and soul in. battle array. Conquer your will I think the genealogical table was put in the flint chapter of the New Testament not only to' show our Lord's pedigree, but to show that a Mart may rise up in an ancestral line and beat back successfully all the in fluences of bad heredity. See in that gene- alogical table that good King Asa was born of vile King A.bia. See in that genealogic- altable that Joseph and Mary and the most, illustrious Being that ,ever touched our world, or ever will touch it, had be their ancestral line Scandalous Rehoboam and Raliab and Thamar and Itathitheba.. If this world is ever to be Edenized—and it will be—all the infected families of the earth are to be regenerated, and there will some one arise in each family line and open a new genealogical table. There will be some Joseph to arise in the line and reverse the evil influence of Re-. hoboam, and there will be some Mary to arise in the line and reverse the evil in- fluence of Bathsheba. Perhaps the star of hope may point down to your ' manger. Perhaps you aro to be the hero or the heroine that is to put down the brakes and stop that long line of genealogical ten- dencies and switch it off on another track • from that on which it has been running for a century. You do that, and .1 will promise you as fine a palace as the archi- tects of heaven -lean build, the archway in- scribed with the words "More than con. itueror."
