A KING EATING GRAN
REV. DR. TALMAGE ON THE DESE-
• CRATiON OF BACREO.THINGS.
Two Styles of Character to Illustratl God's
Word -Ono is Like a Lighthouse and tho
Other is, Like a Black 7Bnoy--A Weird
Scene•
Washington; Tele 14. -Dr. Talmage in
his sermon uses a weird and strange
sceue of ancient times to illustrate the
behavior of modern people who desecrate
'leered things and for their arrogance get
a bad tumble. „His subject was "A King
Eating Grass" and the teat Daniel iv,
88, "The same ban. was the thing ful-
filled upon Nebuchadnezzar, and he was
drinen from men and did eat grass as
oxen, and his body was wet with the dew
of heaven, till his hairs were grown like
eagles' feather and his nails like birds'
*mt.
Vetter shade your eyes else they be put
out with the eplendor of Babylon, as
• some morning you walk out with Nebu-
chadnezzar on the ettpension bridges
which hang from the house tops and he
shows you the vastness of his Tabu, as
the sun knidles the. domes with glisten- -
Mg is almost •insufferable, and the great
streets thunder up their pomp into the
ear of the monarch, and armed towers
stand around, adorned with the spoils of .
oonquered- empires. Nebuchadnezzar -
waves his hand above the stupendous
scene and. exclaims "Is not, this great
Babylon that hilvesbuilt -teethe beam
of the 'kingdom by the might of my '
power, and for the honor of my ;maj-
esty?" But in an instant all that splen-
dor is gone from his vision, for a voice
fall from heaven, saying: ."O, King
Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is 'spoken,
The kingdom is departed from thee?. and
they shall drive thee from men, and thy
dwelling shall be with. the beasts of the
field. They shall make thee to eat rgrass
as owe, and seven years shall *WS over
thee,until thou know that the Most High
ru..listh in the kingdom of men and
to whomsoever he will." One
hour from the thne that he made the
boast he is on the way to the fields, a
InallinO, and rushing; into the forest' he
becomes one of the beasts, covered with
eagles' featherti for protection from the
• cold, and his nails growing to birds'
claws in order that he might dig the
earth for roots and climb the trees foe
nuts.
• You see, there is a great variety in the
Scriptural landscape. In several discour-
ses we have looked at. mountains of ex-
cellence big mow we., look down into a
great, dark" chasm. of wickedness as we
come to speak of Nebuchadnezzar. God
In his Word sets before us the 'beauty of
self denial, of sobriety, of devotion, of
courage, and then lest we should not
thoroughly understand him he intro-
duced Daniel and Paul and Deborah as
illustrations of these virtues. God also
speaks to us in his Word as to the hate-
fulness of pride, of folly, of impiety, and»
lest we should not thoroughly understand
he introduces Nebuchadnezzar as the
impersonation of these forms of deprav-
ity. The fornaer style of character is a
lighthouse, showing -us a way into a safe
harbor, and the latter a style of character
-Is a black buoy, swingmg on the rocks,
to show where vessels wreck themselves.
Thanks unto God for both the buoy .and
the lighthouse! The host of Nebuchad-
aezzar is thundering at the gates of Jer-
usalem. The crown of that sacred city is
iitruck into the dust by the hand of
Babylonish insolence. The vessels of the
temple, which had never been desecrated
by profane touch, were ruthlessly seized
for sacrilege and transportation. Oh,
what a sad hour when those Jews, at the
command of the invading army, are
obliged to leave the home of 'their nativ-
ity! How their hearts must bave been
wrung with anguish when, on the dey
they departed, they heard the trumpet
from the top of the temple announcing
the hour for morning sacrifice and saw
the meek() of the altars ascending around
the holy hill of Zion 1 For well they knew
that in a far distant land they would.
never hear that trumpet call nor behold
the majestic ascent of the sacrifice. Be-
hold those captives on the road from Jer-
nealem .to Babylon! Worn and weary,
they dare not halt, for roundabouts are
armed men urging them on with hoot
and shout awl. blasphemy.
• Aged men tottered along on their
staves, weeping that they could not lay
their bones in the sleeping place of their
fathers7 .and children wondered at the
length of the way and sobbed themselves
to sleep when the night lied fallen. It
seemed as if at every step a heart broke.
But a a turn of the road. Babyloa sud-
denly springs upon the view a the cap-
tives, with its gardens and palaces. A
ghoul goes up from the army as they be-
hold their native city, but not one huzza
is heard from the captives. These exiles
saw no splendor there, for it was not
bonze. • The Euphrates did not have the
water gleam of the' brook Bedron or the
pool of Siloam. The willows of Babylon,
on which tbey hung their =tuned harps,
wee n,ot as graceful as the trees which
at the foot of Mount Moriah seemed ito
weep at the departed glory of Judah, and
all the fragrance that descended from
Ole hanging gardens upon that great city
Was not so meet as one breath of the
acacia, and frankincense that the high
priest kindled in the sanctuary at Teru-
aaaem.

On a certain night a little while after
these captives had been brought to his
city Nebuchadnezzar is scared with a
night vision. A bad man's pillow is apt
'to be stuffed with deeds and forebodings
which keep talking in the night. He will
find that the eagles' down in his pillow
will stick -him like porcupine quills. The
ghosts of old trangressions are sure fto
wander about in the darkness and beckon
and hiss. Yet, when thomorning came,
he found that the vision had entirely fled
from him Dreams drop no anchors and
therefore are apt to sail away before we
can. fasten them. Nebuchadnezzar calls
all the wise men of the land into his
presence demanding that by their necro-
mancy they explain his dream. They) of
course, fail. Then their wrathful king
iseues an edkt with as little sense as
mercy, orderrng the slaying of ell the
learned men of the country. But Daniel
the prophet comee in with the interpreta-
tion -just in time to save the wise Men
and•the Jewish eaptiyes.

and ruin ride in the same saddle? See

strange that that mind, 'which. hopes so
much in its mighty leaps for the - attain-

so delicately tuned, this instrument of
untold harmony plays on; though fear

See also in this story of Nebuchadnez-
zar the use that God makes of bad men.
The actions of thee:wicked are used as in-
struments for the punishanent of wicked -
nese in others or as the illustration of
some principle in the aivinegovernment.
Nebuchadnezzar subserved both purposes.
Even sea will go' back with you to the
history of every reprobate that the world
has ever seen, and I will shciw you how
to a great extent his wickedness was
limited in WI destructive power and how
God glorified himself inethe overthrow
and disgrace of his eriemy.-Babylon is full
of abomination, and . wicked Cyrus de-
stroys it. Persia fills the cup of itsin-
• iquity, and vile Alexandetr puts an end
to. it. Macedon must be caastised, and
bloody 'Emilius does it. The Bastille As to
be destroyed, and corrupt Napoleon ac-
complishes it. Even so selfish and wieked
men are often made to aceomplish great'
and glorious purposes. Joeeph's brethren
were guilty of superlative ,perialy and
meatiness when they sola him into slav-
ery for about $7, yet how they must have
been overwhelmed with the truth that
• God never forsakes the righteous when
. they saw he had become the prime min-
ister of Egypt! Pharaoh oppresses the
Israelites with the mcist diabolic tyranny,
yet stand atill and see the salvation of
God. The plagues descend, the locusts,
and the hail, and the destroying angel,
showing that there is a God who will
defend the cause of his people, and fin-
ally,. after the Israelites have passed
through :the parted sea, behold, in the
wreck of the drowned army, that God's
enemies are chaff in a whirlwital. 1 In
some financial panic the righteous suffer-
ed with the wicked. Houses and stores
and shops in a night -foandeyed .on the
rock of bankruptcy, and healthy credit; -
*without warning, dropped dead in the
'street, and money ran up the long ladder
bf 25. per cent., to laugh down upon those
WhOcould not climb after it.
Dealers with pockets full of securities
*stood shouting an the deaf ears of banks. -
Men rushed down the streets, with pro-
tested notes after them. Those who befoie
found it hard to spend' their money were
left without money to spend. Laborers
went .home for want et work, to see
hungry' in their chair at the table and
upon the hearth. Winter blew his breath
of frost through fingers of icicles, and
sheriffs, with attachments, dug among
the cinders of fallen storehouses, and
whole cities joined in the long funeral
procession, marching to the grave of dead
fortunes and a fallen commerce. Verily, -
the righteous suffered with the wicked,
but generally the Wicked had the viorst
of it. • Splendid estetes that bad come to-
gether through schemes of wickedness
were dashed to pieces' like a patties ves-
sel; and God *rote with lettere of fire,
amid the ruin and deltrzietiole of rePuta-
tions and estates that" were thought ins -
'
pregnable, the feedsiened, truth; which
ce.nturiee ago he wrote in his Bible, "The
way of the wicked he turneth upside
down." As the stars of heaven are In-
flected from the waters of the earth, even
so God's great and magntficent purposes
are. reflectel back Mon the 'boiling sea of
human passion and turmoil. ' As the
voice of a sweet song uttered among the
mountains may be uttered back from the
cavernous home of wild beasts and rooks
split and thunder scarred, se the great
harmonies Of ded's providence are rung
back from the darkest orient° of this sin
struck earth. Sennicherilf and Abithelech

I say that to tens of thousands there is
no distinction between the Sabbath and.
thceaveeli days, except that on the Lord's
day theia do not week, while they eats
more largely and dissipate more thorough-
ly. Sabbath breakers are like banters
who should compel their hounds toe. take

. weary chase, for men on the Sabbath al-
low their bodies, which are merely the
animal nature, sufficient repose, 'while
their immortal nature, which shoteld be
fed and refreshed, is compelled to chase
up and down this world's highway. How
shameful to rob God of his day, he
allows men so much lawful. acquisition,
even of a worldly nattire, on the Sabbath,
for, although men themselves are com-
mended to rest, the corn, and the wheat,
and the grass grow just as rapidly on the
Sabbath as on other days, so that while
they sit in the sanctuary they are actually
becoming richer in worldly things! While
you are doing: nothing your bonds and
mortgages are all accumulating_ interest
for your estate just as fast as on 'other
days. Men hired by the month or year
are receiving just as much wages while
quiet on the Sabbath as they are the
hardworking -week days No, I say how
unutterably mean. it is, 1when God is add-
ing to your Worldly estate on the Sabbath
as certainly to on other days, that any

He who breaks the Sabbath net more
certainly robs God than robs hinatelf. ,In-
evitably continuous desecrationl of the
sacred day ends in either bankrnatcy or
destroyed health. A great merchant said,
"Had it not been for the Sabbath I have
no doubt I should have been a maniac
long ago." Thia remark -was made in a
company of merchants, and one of them
said: "That corresponds with the experi-
ence Of my friend, a great importer. He
often said, 'The Sabbath is the best day
of the week to plan successful voyages.'
He has for years been in an insane hos-
pital and will prebably die there."
Those alto repeat the 81A of Nebuchad-
nezzar who in any way desecrate the
Maly Scriptures. There are men who use
the Word of God, as an instrument of
angry controversy. Bigots at heart and
zealots, an the advocacy of their religious
peculiarities they meet other sects with
the -fury of a highwayman, thrusting
• them through and through with what
they consider the word of the spirit. It is
a wonder to me that some men were not
made with borne to hook With, -andhoofs -
to kick with, and with claws to grab
with., What Christ said to rash Peter
when he struck off the ear of Malchtts he
says to every controversialist, "Put up
again thy sword into rite place, for all
they that take the eword shall Perish
with the word."
Rev. Willisen Jay met a countryman
who said to him: "I was extremely
aaarmed. this morning, sir. It WaS. very
foggy, and I was going down to a 'toady
place, and I thought I •saw a strange
