AVAIRY CIIAR E• REV. DR. TALMAGE ON THE NECESSITY OF REVIVALS. liTo Believes In es, Sudden Movement to Capture the World Per Righteousness. Ile Holds That Sin C..ne Best Be Over- come by a Eirmic Movement. WAsanza.Tolt, Deo. 27.-Th1s eermon of Dr. Talmage in behalf of a sudden move- ment to captuea the world 'for rigliteaus.: tess sikes a obord 'that will vibrate through Christendom. The text is II Kings 23, deliver thee 9,000 horses if thou be able on thy part to set riders upon them, Up by the waterworks, the upper reser- voir of Jerusalem, the general of the be- sieging army and the generals of /besieged Jerusalem_ are in consultation. (,Though General Rab-shakeh had been largely paid to step the Siege, he kept the money and continued the siege- the nellitary mis- creant] Rab-shakeh derides the capacity of the talon to.defend itself and practically says: "Yon have not 2,000 men who can manage horses. Produce 2,000 eavalry- men and I will give you a present of 2000, cavalry horses. You have not in all your besieged city of Jerusalem 2,000 men who aan mount them and by bit and bridle con- trol a horse." Rab-shakeh 'realized that it is easier to find _horses than skillful riders, and hence he makes the challenge of the text, "I will deliver thee 2,000 horses if thou be able to set rider e upon them." .A Sudden ,Assault. . Rab-shakeb, like many another bad man, said 'a very suggestive thing. The world Is full of great energies and great opportunities, but few know how to bridle them -and mount them and manage them. More spirited horses than competent rid- ers. The fact is that in thechureh of God we have plenty of fort:messes well manned, and plenty of heavy artillery, and plenty of -solid columns of brave Christian sol- diers, but what we most need is cavalry. mounted troops of God -for sudden charge that seems almost desperate. If Washing- ton, 11 New York-, if London, are ever tak- en for God, it will not be by slow bom- bardment of argumentation, or by regular unlimbering of great theological guns from the portholes of the churches, but by gallop of sadden assault and rush bf hely . energy that will astound and throw -into panic the long lines of drilled opposition araled tothe teeth. Nothing so scares the fences of sin is a revival that comes, they know net whence, to do that which they cannot tell, to work in a way that they cannot understand. Theywill be over- come by flank movement. The church of God must double up their right or left wing. If they expect us from the north, we will take them from the south. If they expect us at 12 o'clock at noon'we will come upon them at '12 o'clock at night. The opportunities for this assault are great and numerous, but where are the men? "I will deliver thee 2,000 horses if thou be. able to -set riders upon them." The opportunities of saving America and saving the entire planet were never so many, never so urgent, tinier •so tremen- dous, as now. Have you not noticed the willingness of the printing__ press of • the country to give the subject Of evangelism full swing in column after column?. Such work was formerly confined to tract dis- tribution and religious. journalism. Now the xi:mining and evening newspapers, ay hundreds and thousands of copies, pri t all religious intelligence and print m st _awakening discourses. Never - since the world has stuo& ha ii such a force been offered to all engagectin the world's evan- gelization. Of the more than fifteen thou- sand newspapers on this continent 1 -do not knew one that isnot alert to catch and distribute all mattersof religious informs- tiot. , now 1 see a mighty suggestiveness In the fact that the first book of any 1111- portance that was ever published eater Johann Gutenberg invented the art of printing was the Bible. • Well might that poor man toil on, polishing stones.- and manufacturing looking glassesand making experiments that brought -upon him- the obarge of insanity and borrowing money, now from Martin Brother and now from Johann Faust, until he set iced foot the mightiest power for the evangelization of the world. The statue in bronzerwhieh Thorwaldsen erected for Gutenberg in 1887 and the statue commerocirating him by David d'Angers in 18d0 and unveiled teraid all the pomp that military processions and German bands of best music couid give the occasion were insignificant compared with the faet, to be demonstrated before all earth and all hea,veu, that Johann Guten- berg, under God, inaugurated forces which will yet accomplish the world's redemp- tion. The newspaper press will yet an- nounce nations born in a day; The -news- paper press will ,roport Christ's sermons yet to bet delivered and deecribe his per- sonal appearance, if, as some think, he shall come again to reign on earth. The newspaper press may yet publis.h Christ's proclamation of tbe world's emancipation from sin and sorrow and death. Tens of thousands of good men in this and other landehave been ordained by the iaying on of hands to preach the gospel, but it seems to zee that just now, by the laying on of tho hands of the Lord God Almighty, the newspaper presses are being ordained for preaching the gospel with wider sweep and mightier resound than we have ever 'yet imagined. The iron horses of the printing press are all readeefor the battle, but where aro the men good enough and strong enough to mount them and guide them? "I will deliver thee 2,000 horses if thou be able to set riders upon them." • The roTee of the Onslaught. - • Go out to the Soldiers' home and talk with the men who have, been in the wen and they will give you right appreciation of what is the importance of the cavalry service in battle. You hear the- Oaten of the hoofs, and the whir of the arrows, and the clash of the shields, and the bang Of the carbines, as they ride up and down the centuries. ';Plear back- in time, Osymandyas led ti0,000 mounted troops in Bactriana. Joseplms says that wilen the Lereelites es -aped from Egypt 50,000 cavalrymen- rode •througb the parted Red sea. Three hundred and seventy-one years before Christ Epaminon- des headed his troops at full gallop. Alex- ander, on e horse that no other men could ride, led his mounted tromps. &woe" thou- sand horsemen decided the struggle at Arbela. Although saddles were not In- veuted until the time of Constantine, and stirrups were unknown until about four hundred and fifty years after Christ, you hear the neighing and snorting of war chargede in the greatest battles of the ages. Austerlitz and Marengo and . Solferino were decided.by the cavalry. The mount- ed Cossacks re -enforced the Raissian snow- : atorms in the Obliteration of the French army. - Napoleon said if be had only had eufficient cavalry at Bautzen and Lutzee hie wars would have triumphantly erected. I do not wonder that the Duke of.Wellinne ton 'had - his -0.1.ti warbOhn-e turned out in beet peeture, and that tilt Duchene of Wellington wore a hraudet of Copenhagen's hair.

' I think it i& the the-cavalry of the Christian hosts, the grand -nom and woMen who, With bold claeli and holy recidessness and spurred on energies, are to take the world for God. To this army of Christian serviCe belong -the evangelists. It ought to be ishe business al the regular churches to multi- ply thenr, to support them, to cheer them, ! to clear the way for them. Sonueof thein you like; some of them yowdo not like. Yon say some are too sensational, and some of theni aro not enough learnecl, and some of them are erratic, and seemed them are too Vehement, and some of them pray too loud.- Oh, fokl up your criticism and let them do that which we, the pastors, can never dot I. like all the evangelists 1 have ever seen .6k heard. They are busy now; they are busy every day of the week. While we, tbe Pastors, serve God by holding the fortress of righteousness and drilling the Christian solidery and by marshaling an- thems andsermons and ordine,1100S eh the right side, they are out fighting the forces or darkness "hip and thigh With great slaughter.! All Success, to theml .The faster they gallop the better Ilike itt. „Tbe -keenerithe lances they fling the Morel ad- mire them. We care riot what esonvention- ality they iitfraot if they only 'gain the victory. Moody and Chapman and Mills and Jones and Harrison and Bluebell and Major Cole and Crittenden and a luindred others are now making the cavalry charge, and they are this moment . taking New York and Philadelphia and Cincinneti for . God, and I wishthey might take our na- tion's capital. . Reason For Courage. Hear the treineedoias facts: There are now in this country nearly 166,000 church congregations, with nearly 21,000,00 come municants and seating capacity in eburch for mere than 43,0001000 people -In other words, room In the churches for .three- fourths of the population of this Ooentay, and about one-third of the population of thiif country already Christian. Ie other words, we will have only to average bring- - ing two souls to God during the next three years -and our country is redeemed. i Who cannot, under the power of the Holy Ghost, bring two souls to God in three years? As -so many will bring hundreds and thou- . sands to God, most of you have tobring only one soul to God and the gospel eine- paign. for this continent will beencl al. - If you cannot bring one soul to God, r two souls, or three . souls, in three year, , you are no.Christian and deserve yourself' to ins shut out of heaven. The religious pessimists of this coentry are all the time depicting the obstadles as - so great and our forces as so small that win half Of the time feei -that we are atteinpte Ing an impossibility. Take out of your - prayers and preaching some of your stuff- ing of groans and put in something of ac- clamation and -triumph, and the United States ivill be gospelized, and if the United States be gospelized America will be gos- pelized, and; Ameriea gospelized, we will take Asia from the Pacific beach and Eu- rope from the Atlantic beach, and not far from now the lost star we live on will take its place among the constellations that never fell. Let the more than 21,000,- 000 cominunieants, aa they lift the sacramental cup to their lips, take oath : that they will not rest until the 'citing 40,- 000,000 are saved. . The opportunities are all saddled and bridled. Where are the -men and women to guide. tbena? "1 will -deliver thee 2,000 horses if thou • bo able to set riders upon thorn." What' two men can do for good or evil Is iron pressed upon MO by the fact. that, two , Sootchmen going to California, each -took -something that. would remind hini ohis native country. The one took a thistle, the national- emblem of Scotland.t The other took a hive of bees. Years went by and the work of the' two Scotchmen is ' widely seen. Tile clime -of the Pacific .slope is the thistle anel the blessing of the Pincifie slope is the honey found everywheie in woods a-nd fields. In your life are you're- sponsible for honey, or thistles, and if one man caa do so nmeh good and another so much evil, how much courd be dope for the ransom of this country by 21,000,000 people all consecrated? Let In the Light. _ Get out of the way with your dolOrous foreboding and change yourdirges for what We ,bave not done for the grand march 'of what we may do and will do. The woman at Sedan, ib whose bouse Na- poleon' the Last was 'waiting to make sur- render of himself and his army, said te -the overthrown French emperor, "What an I do for yOutt" .And the despairing ex-inee- - arch replied, "Nothing but draw down the blind so that I cannot be stared at." TO this 'gospel -campaign we have' plenty to drawclown the blinds. In God's name I say pull up the blinds and let the morning sun of the coming victory shine upon us. What wewant in this campaign for God is the self abnegation and courage of the men of Sir Colin Campbell, who, as Lord Bishop Cowie of New Zealand, once °bap - lain . of his army, told me, said to the treens: "Men, no retreat from this place. Die right here." And they shouted, "Yes, .Sir Colin, we will do it!" Ancl they 'did. Temporary defeats Ought not to disheart- en. What is Bunker Hill monument? Monumenthf defeat. But from tha b bloody mount American independence' started'for its grandest achievement, and all the de- feats of the cause of God are incipient vic- tory. _ . Thy saints in all this glorious war Shall conquer, though they die. They see the triumph 1 rom afar And seize it with their eye. And -now, standing as.I do, in this rm.. Mona' capital, let me say that what we want in the senate and bouse of represent: atives and the suprenxi court is a pente- costal blessing tbat will shake the centi- nen• with divine mercy. There recently cauie into nay hancls the records' Of , two congkessional prayer meetings, on the rolls of which were the names of the most emi- -nont senators and representatives who then controlled the destinies -of this republic- tbe one congreesional prayer meeting in 1857 and the other in 1866. The record is in the handwriting of the philanthroiiist, William B. Dodge, then a member of 'coin gross. There'are now more Christian Men in the national legislature than ever. be- fore. Why will they not band together in a religious nuevementewhich before the in- auguration of.the next president shall en- throne Chriet in the hearts of this naelon? Theydiave I the brain, they have the elo- quence, they have the influence. ,Clod grant them the grace sufficient! Who in congressional circles will establish ths. eapitoline prayer meeting in 1897? Let ilio evening ef the Iasi deande O.k. -tiiircen- tory bo• irradiated with sixth a religious splendor. There aro the .opportuntaes for a ' national and international charge, all bridled and saddled. 'Where are the riders to mount thant - Fun of Speed. . The cavalry suggests speed. 'When auto the Mille are gathered into the hands of , the soldiery boreeman and the spars -ere struck into the flanks, you hear the rata - plan Of the hoofs. "'Velocity" is the word thatelescall es the m ovemee t-accel erati on, monieutuin-and what We want in get- ting into the kingdom of God is celerity. You so, the years aro so ewift, and the days .are: so swift, and the hours are so swift, and the minutes are so swift, we Treed to be- swift. For lack of, this appro- priate speed inany do not get into beaten - et all. Here ive aro in the last Sabbathof the year.. Did you ever linowa twelfth muoth. quicker to be gone? titan, naldeo- ,.. i, ' roe of one autumn spoons to the gOld8/1- rod of the next autumn, and the oroous of lone springtiane to the crocus of another springtime, and the snowbanks of adjoin- ing leers ellfleSt reach each other in un- lbrokeri curve. We are in too much hardy 'about most things. Business mon in too Much hurry rush into speculations that ruin them and ruin others. People Move from place to piaci; in too great baste, and they wear out their nerves and weaken the heart's action. But the only thing in which they are afraid of being too hasty Is the matter of the soul's salvation. Yet did any one ever get damaged.by too quick re- pentance or too quick pardon or too quick lennincipation? The Bible recommendeetar- . dines, deliberation and • snaillike move-. meta in some things, as when it enjoins us to be slow to speak and slow to wrath and slow to do evil, but it tells us, "The king's business requireth haste," and that our days are as the flight of a weaver's shuttle, and ejaculates: "tscape fcir thy life. Look not behind thee; 'neither stay thole in all the plain. " Other cavalry troops may fail back, but mounted years sever. retreat. They are always going ahead, not on an easy canter, but at full run. Other regiments hear the command of "Halt!" and pitch their tents for the night. The -regiments of the years never bear the command Of "Halt!" and never pitch tent for the night. The Cavalry Processina. ' Tbe century leads on its troop of 100 lh years, ande year leads on its troop of 865 days, and the day leads on its troop of 24 hours, and the hour leads on its troop of 60 minutes, and all are -dashing out of sight. Perhaps tbere are two years in which we 'are most interested -our -first and our lest. Held up in our moher's arms, we watched the flight of the first. With wonderiug eyes we all watch the obinifig Of the last The name of that ade naming year we cannot call. It new, be in the nineties of this century, it may be in the tens or twenties or thirties of the next century, but it is coining at full gallop. •With what mood will we meet it? In jo- cosity, as did Thomas Hood in his last ▪ moment, sayi ng, "I am dying out of char- ity to the undertaker, who wishes to earn a lively Hood." Or th fear, as did Thomas Paine saying In his last moment, "Oh; how 1 dread this mysterious leap in the dark!" Or in- boastfulness, as did Vespa- elan, saying in his last moment, "Ah, Methinks I am becoming a god." Or in frivolity, as did Demon'ax, the infidel phi- losopher, saying in his last Moment, "You may go home; the show is over.'r. Or con- science stricken, as did Charles IX of France, saying in his last moment: 'Nurse, nurse! 'What murder! What blood!" Or shall we meet it in gladness of Christian hope, like that of Julius Cheeks Hare, who said in his last moment, "Upward, up- ward!" Or like that of Richard Baxter in his last Moment, saying "Almost well." Or like that of 'Martin of Tours saying in his last moinent, "I go to A bralim's besotn.'i Or like that of polished Addison, who said in his last moment, "See with what ease a Christian can die." Or like that of George Whitefield, who, felt that he bad said all that he could of Christ, declaring in his last moment, "1 shallalie silent" Or like that of Mrs. Schimmelpennich, who said In her last moment: "Do you not hear the Voices? Arid the children's arathe loudest." Oz -like that of Dragonnatti, saying in his last moment: "Stand aside! I see my fa- ther and mother coming to hiss me." Or as did the dying girl who, having a few eveningstefore sat on a bench in a Lon- don mission, Was seen to have tears of con- trition rolling down her cheek, and who, departing from the room, had put in her band by a Christian woman a Bible, With the passagemarked, "The blood of Jesus Christ cleaiiseth from all sin." Though having promised to be at tlie next meet- ing, shodid not come. The Christian woman who gave her the Bible.was 'visiting the bospital, and the nurse said t� her: "I wish you had been here at little while ago. We had a young woman who had been run over by a wag- on. Poor thing.- She was fearfully crushed and died almost at once. She had a Bible' in her hand, with your Dann, in it, and she said when she was brought in: 'Thank God! I feemd Christ as my Saviour last night. Tati blood of Jesus Carist, his Son, eleanseth us from all sin.' " Oh, my friends, if all right for the next world, the years tan not gallop past too rapidly. If it were possible for the centuries to take the speed of the years, and the years the speed of the clays, and the days the speed of the hours, they could do us no harm. The shorter our life the longer our beaven. The sooner we get out of the pefils of this life, if our work be clone, the better. No Man is safe till he is dead. Better tnen than we have been wrecked, and at all ages. Lord and Lady Napier were on horse- baok on a road in India. Lord Napier sud- denly said to Lady Napier, "Ride on, and fetch assistance, and do not tide, inc why." She sped on and was soon out of sight. The fact was, e tigeris eyes glared on them from the thicket, and he did not dare to tell her, lest, affrightecl, she fall in the danger and perhaps Lase her life. From all sides of us on Ole road of life there are perils glaring on us, from tigers of temp- tation, and tigers of aceicleut, and tigers of 'death, and the sooner we get out of the perils of this life the better. Let 1897 take the place of 1896, and 1898 the piace of 1897, and our souls will be landed where there shall be "nothing to hurt or destroy in all God's holy mount." "No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon; it shall not .be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their beads. They shall obtain. joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away." Oh, will it not be grand when from the windows and doors 'of the "house of many Mansions" we leek out and see passing aloug the golden boolevards of heaven the white horse cavalry that St John describes in Revelation? John Wesley said he thought horses had souls; but, take the story in Revelation as figurative or literal, you !oust admit that none but cavalry horses is mentioued as being in heaven, John nix, 14, "The armies whieh were In heaven . • f6116weil hini upon w- !Ilia' horses." • You see, they are monnted troops.

Oh, those celestial cavalcades whom Our .conqueror in scarlet shall lead on through the streets of heaven! Wide streets, 111113dreds of mounted troops abreast; long streets, thousands, in sight, followed by conitug thousands through the long day of heaven whicb bath' no setting sun. Mind you, only the caval- ry are in that shining procession, those wbo did week outside the forts, those who dared all things for God, those who had ha them the spirit, of holy dash. We who did easy work may look at that procession, but will not 'be a part of it. There they pass, the equestrians and equestriernies of heaven, regiments of evangelists, of tract distributors, of street -preachers, of salva- tion armies, of once half starved home missionaries on the frontiers. of those whe • din incontipicuous service for Owlet and never had their names in the newspapers but once, and that in the notice of `their own obsequies, a notice not acoomparded by the. request, "Send no fiowers," for there, Wae 110 danger that there woulti be a profusion of flowers, As from the windows and doors Of the "house of many mansions" we'leoh on the passing spec -teal° El0m0 of uswill..wish that on earth we had d lessealery and more hardship, less comfort and more exposure, less caution and more courage, less sholt4r and more stable less smooth sailing and more 'cyclone, and that we had &red all at the front instead of taking 'good care of oureelveS in the rear. Forward, mounted troops! Favorites of heaven! Cavalrymen and eavairywomen of the Lord God Alr mighty. No chargers of Maven too white or too arched of neck or too prancing of gait for those seated on them.

A glorious heaven It will be for all of us who any- where and anyhow served the Lord, but an especial heaven, a n3ounted heaven, a pro - (sessional heaven, for those who have done outside week, exposed work, and -belonged to the Lord's cavalry. "The armies which were in heayen .followed him upon white horses." - Then let thecreaking (beret that/losing year go shut. When that closes, better doors will open. The world's brightest and bap- piest years are yet to come. Toward them we speed on in swiftest stirrup. Cavalry charge at Inkerman was not so rapid. At last the equestrians equal the chargers. At last the riders are as many as 'the horses. • _ Outwitted .the Boys. Boys in Brooklyn' 'public schools bave recently had a trying time. Every fall, • when the leaves have dropped from the trees that line the city streets, the young- sters have for the time forgotten 'baseball and marbles and have turned to the de- lights of peppering English sparrows with bean shooters. There is a city e dinance forbidding the practice, but the boys have kept right on bean shooting. Teachere have told the boys not .to sheet at the birds. Tho boys remembered this about adlong as it took them to get out of door; hence the teachers have descended on the boys and taken advantage of their guile- lessness in a way that is shocking. -The scenes that have taken place have been aft- er this fasbion: Enter the principal; boys at their desks; boys see the principal looking sharply about the schoolroom. dead silence, bro- ken by indications of intense application; two pupils enter the room quietly. The principal, pleasantly -Now, boys, in this basket that these boys have jut hrought in is a lot of bean shooters. had to take them from the boys in the other rooins. Now you must take your turn. All come up here and take your shooters out of your pockets. Wbile the principal is speaking there is a simultaneous inovement among the boys as though they were taking something from their pockets and stowing them un-' der their desks So, when the principal says, "I know you have been told that you niust not kill birds -and you probably haven't disobeyed -but I molt see what - you have in your pockets," a gleam of joy, quickly suppreased, ilasbes along the rows of boys, andithen their inouths distend in_ broad smiles. There is a scramble to see who will be first to get into line. They do not ha,ve t? wait long for operations to begin. The next move of tbe principal is to rau with his heel on the floor. The door opens, and two more stalwart boys appear. Thee; proceed without delay to the desks of the boys and extract therefrom about a peck of bean shooters.
