SCOTT BRQS, THE DAY IS AT HAND. REV, DR, TALMAGE PREACHES UPON A --I —RAPTUROUS OUTLOOK. le Says It Should. Stir the World to G1adness7—Arb1tration Is Better .Than ' Battle—Rays of Dawn In the Day of Progress. WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.—If the clarion note of this sermon delivered at the na- tional capital could sound through Chris- tendom, it would give everythieg 'good a new start. Dr. Talmage's text was Ro- mans xiii, 19,•" The day is at hand." Back from the mountains, and the sea- side, and the springs, and the .farmhouse, your cheeks bronzed and your spirits light- ed, I hail you home again With the words of Geha•zi to the Shunammite: "Is it well - with thee? i.fIs it well with thy husband? Is it woll with the child?" On some faces I see the mark of recent grief, but all along the track of tears I see the story of resur- rection and reunion when all tears are done, the deep plowing of the keel, fol- lowed by the flash of the phosphorescence. Now that I have asked you in regard to your welfare, you naturally ask how I am. Very well, thank you. Whether -it was the bracing air of the mountains, or a bath in the surf of Long Island beach, or whother4t is the joy of standing in this great ,' group of warm hearted friends, or whether it. is a new appreciation of the goodness of God, I cannot tell. I simply • know I am ppy's It was said that John Moffatt, thereat Methodist preacher, oc- casionally got fast in his sermon, and to extricate himself would dry, "Halleluiah!" • I am in no such predicament today, but I am full of the seine rhapsodic ejaculation. Starting out this morning on a new ec- clesiastical year, I want to give you the keynote of my next 12 menthe' ministry. I want to set it to the tunes of "Antioch," "Ariel" And "Coronation." I want to put a nowtrumpetstop into my sermons. We do wrong if We allow our personal sore s rows to interfere with the glorious feet that the kingdom is coming. We arewick- ed if we allow apprehension of national disaster to put down our faith in God and In the - mission, of our American people. The God who hath been on the side of this nation since the Fourth Of July, 1776, will see to it that this nation shall not cominit suicide on Nov. 3; 1896. By the time the unparalleled harvests of this summer get down to the seaboard we shall be stand- ing in a sunburst of national prosperity that will paralyze the pessimists who by their evil prophecies are blaspheming the God who hath blessed this nation as he. hath blessed no other. Notes of Gladness. , In all our Christian work you and I want more of the element of gladness. No man had a right to say that Christ never laughed. .Do you suppose that he was glum at the -wedding in Cana of Galilee? Do you suppose that Christ was unrespon- sive When the children clambered over his knee and shoulder at his own invitation? Do you suppose that the evangelist meant .nothing when he said of Christ, "He re- joiced in spirit?" . Do you believe that the -divine Christ, who pours all I the waters over the rooks at Vernal Falls, Yosemite, does not believe in the spar\kle and gallop and tumultuous joy and rushing raptures of human life? I believe not Only that the morning laughs, and ,that the mountains laugh, aud that the seas laugh, and that the cascades laugh, but that Christ laugh- ed. Moreover, take a laugh and a tear in- to an . alembic and assay them, and test them, and. Analyze them, and you will of- ten find as much of the pure gold of reli- glen in a laugh as in a tear. Deep spiritual joy Always shows itself in facial illumina- tion. John Wesley said he was sure of a good religious impression being produced .because of what he calls the great glad - "less he saw among the people. , Godless merriment is blasphemy anywhere, but expression of Christian joy is appropriate everywhere. I Moreover, the outlook of the wlorld ought to stir us to gladness. Astronox ers disturbed many people by telling them that there was danger of stellar colliion. We were told by these astronomers that there are worlds coming very near togeth- er, and that we shall have plagues and wars and tumults and perhaps the world's destruction. Do not bo scared. If you have ever stood, at a railroad center where 10 or 2a or 30 rail tracks cross each other and seen that by the inurement of the switch one or two inches the train shoots this way and that without colliding, then you may understand how 50 worlds may come within an inch of disaster and -that Inch be .as geed as a million miles. If a human switch tender can sheet the trains this way and that without -harm,. cannot the hand that for thousands of years has upheld the universe keep our little world out of harm's way? Christian geologists toll us that this world was millions of years• in building. Well, now, I do not think God Would take millions of years to btiiid a house which was to last only 6,000 years._ There is nothing in the world or outside the world, terrestrial or astrononi- . ical, to excite dismay. I wish that some - stout gospel breeze might scatter all the malaria of human foreboding. The sun apse this Morning at about 6 o'clock, and 1 think that is just about the hour- in the world's history. "The day is at hand." • - , Victory For Peace. The first ray of the dawn I see in the gradual stibsti buten of diplbmatic skill for human butchery. , Within the last 25 years there have been iuternational differ- ences which would ,have brought a shock of arms in any other. day, but which were peacefully adjusted, the pen taking the place of the sword. The Venezuelan con- troversy in any other age of the world would have brought shock of arms, but now is- being so ceriletly adjusted that no ono knows just how it is being settled. The Alabama question in any other age of the world. would have caused war be- tween -s the -United States and England. How was it settled.? By men-of-war off the Narrows or off- the Mersey? ,By the gulf stream of the ocean crossed by a gulf stream of human blood? 13y the pathway of nations incarnadined?, No. A few wise mon go into a quietroom at Geneva, talk the matter over and telegraph to Washing- ton and to Londopy "All settled." Peace, peace! England pays to the United Statee the amount awarded—pays really more than she ought to have paid. But still, all that Alabama broil is settled—settled forever. Arbitration instead of battle. So the quarrel about the Canadian fish- eries in any other ago would have caused a ar between the United States and Eng - 1 .u.d. England said, "Pay rue for the in- asion of niy Canadian fisheries." The 'halted States said, "I will not pay any- thing." Well, the two nations say, "1. uess we had better leave the whole mat - ( r to .•a commission." The eonunission I appointed, and the commission exam. ises the raisin and the oonnnission re- orts, ande pay wo outrht, pay we must, iiay we do. Not a pouna of powder burn - e., no one hurt so much as by the Berate) a nip. Arbitration insthad of battle. So the Samoan controversy in any other go would have brought Germany and t se United States into bloody collision. ut all 1s settled: Arbitratioa instead of Franc wtll never again, I think, through a peccadillo of an embassactor, bring en -battle with other nations. She SeCS that c& iii titilliShraett at Sedan, blotted out • Children Crylor • the th e Ire, and e only aspirant i,re - " 1* for that throne•who had any right of ex- pectation dies in a war that has not even the dignity of:being respectable. What is the leaf thatiaEnglAnd would like to teat out of her histery? The Zulu war. DOW13 with the sword and up with the treaty! , We in this ;country might better have settled our sectional difficulties by arbitra- tion than by _the trial of the sword. Phi- lanthropy said to the north, "Pay down a , certain amount of money for the purchase of the slaves; and let all those born after a certain time be born free." Philanthropy at the same time said to the south, "You sell tho slaves and get rid of this great na- tional contest and trouble." The north replied,. "I won't pay a cent." The sleuth replied, "I won't sell." War, warh nsillion dead men, and a national debt Which might have ground this nation tc powder! Why did wo not let William II. Seward of New York and Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia go out and spend a few days under the trees on the banks oi the Potomac and talk the matter over and settle it, as settle it they could, rather than the north pay in cost of war $4,700,000,- 000 and the south pay $4,750,000,000, the destroying angel leaving the firstborn dead in so many houses all the may from the Penobscot to the Alabama? Ye aged men whose sons fell in tlie strife, do you not think that would have been . better? Oh, yes! We have come to believe, I think, in this country that arbitration is better than battle. • Too Dear a Price. I may be mistaken, but I hope that the last war between Christian nations is end- ed. Barbarians may niix their war paint and Chinese and. Japanese go into whole- sale massacres and Afghan and Zulu hurl poisoned arrows, but I think Christian na- tions have gradually learned that war is disaster to vieter as well as vanquished, and that almost anything bought by blood is bought at too dear a price. I wish to God this natic!n might be a model of will- ingness for arbitration. No need of kill- ing another adieu. No need of sacrific- ing any more brave General Ousters. Stop exasperating the red man, and there will be no more arrows shot out from the am- bushmen ts.- A general of the United States army in high repute throughout this land, and who perhaps had been in mere In- dian wars than arry other officer, and who had been wounded again and. again in be- half of our 6vernment in battle against the Indians, told ine that all the wars that had ever occurred between Indians and white men had been provoked. by white me -n, and that there was no exception to the rule. While we aro arbitrating with Christian nations let us toward barbari- ans carry ourselves in a manner unprovo- cativo of contest. Let rue put myself in their place: I in- herit a large estate, and the waters are rich with fish, and .tho woods are songful with birds, and -my cornfields are silken and golden. Here is my sister's grave. Out yonder under the large tree my fathee died. An invader comes and proposes tc drive me .off and take possession of my property. He crowds me back, he crowds me on, and crowds me into a closer -corner, until after awhile I say: "Stand back Don't crowd me any more, or I'll strike. What right have you to come here and drive me off my premises? I got this farm from my father, and he got it from his fa- ther. What right have you to come here and molest me?" You blandly say: "Oh, I know more than you do. I belong to a higher civilization. -I cut my hair shorter then you do. I could put this ground to a great deal better Use than you do." , And you keep crowding tete back and crowding me on into a closer corner and closer, corner, until one day I look around upon my suffering family, and, fired by their hardships, 1 hew- you in twain. Forthwith all the world comesto your fu- neral to pronounce eulogium, comes tc my execution to anathematize me. You are the hero. I am the culprit,. Behold the United -States government, and the North American Indian! The red !nen has stood more wrongs than I would, or you. WE would have struck sooner, deeper. That which is right in defense ofa Washington home is right in defense of a home on tor of the Sierra Nevada. Beforethis dwin- dling red race dies completely out I wish that this generation might by Common justice atone for the inhumanity of its predecessors-. In the day of God's judg, ment I would rather be a blood sineared Modoo than a swindling United States of- ficer on an Indian reservation. One was a barbarian and asavage, and never pre- tended to be an -thing 'but a barbarian and a savage. The other pretended to bc a representative of a Christian nation. Not- withstanding all this the general disgust with war and- the substitution of diplie matic skill for the glittering edge of keen steel is a sign unmistakable that "the day is at hand." The World's Nearness. I.'hud another ray of cla WU in the com- pression of the world's distances. What a slow, snaillike, almost impossible thing would have been the world's rectification with 1,400,000,000 of- population and tic fabile means of communication, but now, through telegraphy for _ the eye and tele- phonic intimacy for the ear and through steamboating Etaid railroading the 25,00f miles of the world's circumference are shriveling up into insignificant brevity. Hongkong is nearer to New York than a few years ago; New Haven was, Bombay, Moscow, Mr. tires, Mel bourne within speak- ing distance: Purchase a telegraphic chart, and by the blue lines see the telegraphs of the land and by the red lines the cables uuder the ocean. You see what opportuni- ty thisis going to give for the final move- ments of Christianity. A fortress may be months or years it building, but after it is constructed it may do all its work in 20,minutes. Chris tianity has been planting' its batteries foi 19 centuries and may go on in the wort through other centuries, but -when those batteries are thoroughly planted, those fortresses are fully built, they may ond their work in 24 hours. The world some- times derides the church for slowness of movement. Is science any quicker.? Did it not take science 5,652 years to find out sc simple a thing as the circulation of the "roman blood? With the earth and the sky full of electricity, science took 5,800 yeari before it even guessed that there was any practical use that might he made of thir subtle and mighty element. When good men take poseeseion of all these scientific forces and all those agencies of invention, I do not know that the redemption of the world will , be more than the work of half a day. Do we not read the queen's speecb at the proroguing of parliament theday before in London? If that be" -so, is it any- thing marvelous to believe that in 24 hours a divine communication can reach the Whole earth? Suppose Christ should de- scendon the.nations—ruany expe.et that Christ will come arnong,the nations per- sonally; suppose that tomorrow morning the Son of God from a hovering cloud should descend upon these cities. Would not that factsbe knower all the world mese in 24 hoeirs? Suppose Ise should present his gospel in a few words, saying: "I am the Son of God. I eame stra 'harden all your sins and to heal all your Sfill'ONV. To prove that I' am a 'supernatural being I -have j—ust descended from the elands. Do you believeme, and do you believe me now?" Why, all the telegraph stations of the earth would be crosvdod as no of them were ever crowded just after is shipwreck. I tell you all these thingeeto show you it is not among the inapessiFilities or even the improbabilities that Christ will con- F'itcher's a 4.0 it instantea astoria eller the whole when the time comes. There are fore- tokenings IW -the air. SoinTething great is going to happen. I do not think that Ju- piter is going to run us down or that the aide of the world is going tb break, but I mean something great for the world's blessing -and not for the world's damage is going to happen.. I think the world ha .s - had'it hard enough. Enough the famines and plagues. Enough the 'Asiatic chol- eras. Enough the wars. Enough the shipwrecks. Enough the emallag,rations. I think our world could stand right well processitifa of prosperities and triumphs. Better be on the lookout. Better have your observatories open toward the heavens - and the lenses of your most powerful tele- scopes well polished. Better have all yo-u Leyden jars ready for soine now pulsation of mighty influence.Better have new fonts of type in your printing offices to set up some astounding good news.' Better have some new banner that has never been carried ready for sudden processions. Bet- ter have :the bells in your church towers well hung and rope within reach, th you may ring out the marriage of the King's Son. Cleanse all your courtheuses, for the Judge of all tlao earth may appear. Let all your legislative halls be gilded, for the Great Lawgiver may be about to conic. Drive off the thrones of despotism an the occupants, for the king of heaven and earth may be about to reign. The dark- ness of the night is blooming and whiten- ing into the lilies of morning cloud and the lilies reddening into the roses of stron gen day—fit garlands, whether white or red, for him on whose head are many . crown s. "The day 18 at hand." Rays of Dawn. ne more ray of the dawn I see in facts chronological and mathematical. Come noise, do not let us do another stroke at work until we have settled one matter. What is going to be the final issue of this great contest between sin and righteous - nes? Which is going to prove hinaself the stronger, God or Diabolus? Is this world going to be all garden or all desert? Now, let us have that rnatter settled. If we beE lieve Isaiah and Hosea and Micah an Malachi and John and Peter and Pau and the Lord himself, sent believe that it I going to be till garden. But let us have 1 settled. Let us know whether eve ar working on toward a success or toward dead failure. If there is a child in you house sick and you. are sure he is goin to get well, you sympathize with presen pains, but all the foreboding is gone. you are in a cyclone off the Florida coas and the captain assures you the 'vessel i stanch, and the winds are changing for, better quartereand he is sure he will brin you safe into the harbor, you patient' submit -to present distress with the though of safe arrival. Now I want to kno whether we a -re coming on toward disma darkness and. defeat or on toward ligh and blessedness. You and I believe the lat- ter, and if soevery year we spend is one year subtracted from the -world's woe and every event that passes, whether bright -or dark-, brings us one event nearer a happy consummation, and by all that is inexora- ble inchronologyand mathematies I c.om- mend you to good cheer and courage. 11 . there is anything in arithmetic, if you. sub- tract two from five and leave three, then by every rolling sun we are coming on to- ward a magnificent terminus. Then every winter passed is one severity less for our poor world. Then every summer gone by brings us nearer unfading arborescence. Put your algebra down on the top of your Bible and rejoice. If it is nearer morning at 8 o'clock than it is at 2; if it is nearer -morning at 4 o'clock than it is at 3, then we are nearer the dawn of the world's deliverance. God' clock seems togovery slowly, but the pen - duly= swinge, and the hands move, and it will yet strike neon. The sun and the moon stood still once. They will nes er stand still again until they stop forever. If you believe arithmetic as wares your Bible, you inust believe we are nearer the .dawn. 'The day is at hand." There is a class of phenomena which makes me think that the spiritual and heavenly- world may after awhile make a demonstration in this world which will bring all moral and spiritual- things • cliMax. Now, Ieam no spiritualist, b every intelligent man -10.- noticed th there aro strange and iiiYeterious thin which indicate to him that perhaps t spiritual world is not so far off -as so times we conjecture, and that after awli'le from the spiritual and heavenly iwor d there may be a demonstration upon o world for its betterment. We call iti-ma netism, or we call it mesmerism, lor e call it electricity, because we wanil SO 1€ term to cover up our ignorance. I Io n know what it is. I never heard a au a ble voice front the other whrld. -I ais p suaded of this, however: That the vi1 b tween this world and the next is g tting thinnee and thinner, and that perhaps aft- er awhile, at the call of God—not ht tlie call of the Davenport brothers on An- drew Jackson Difyis—some of th old Scriptural warriors, some of the spi its of other days mighty for God—a Josh a, ca a Caleb, or a David or a Paul—may come down and help us in the battle against up. - righteousness. Oh, how .I would 11 -e to have them here—him of the Red sea, hirn of the valley ef Ajalon, him of 'Mars' hill! English history 'says that Robert Clayton of tho English cavalry, at the close of the war, bought up all the old cavalry horses lest they should be turned out to drudgery and hard work and bought a piece oi ground at Knavesmire heath and turned out these old warhorses into the thickest and richest pasture .to spend the rest ol their days as compensation for what they had done in other days. One day a thun- derstorm. came -up, and these warhorses mistook the thunder of the skips for the thunder of battle, and they wheeled inte line, no riders on their backs—they wheel- ed into line ready for the fray. And 1 doubt me whether, when the last thunder of this battle for God and truth goes boom- ing through the heavens, the old Scriptur- al warriors can keep their places. on their thrones. Methinks they will spring hate the fight and exchange crown for hehnet and palm branch for weapon and come down'out of the King's galleries into the arena, crying: "Make room!
