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. 4 .

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. My friends, do you'not see that pride and ruin ride in the same saddle?

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 shod Ire' may pass between the worl y beelines"' of the past and the worldly business of the future. But to many the Sabbath . comes' only as a day for neighaorhood visiting, field rambling, hotel lounging and political CallOURbIg. This glorious Sabbath); which Was intended only as a golden ' drake from which the thirsty should drink, ii this moment teittg carried down to Baby- lon. I do not exaggerate the truth when 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 resteehile they theinseives continueon the . 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 should be not satisfied with that, but at- tempt to seize additional secular »advant- age from the T-Jord's day 1 Have you never • noticed the cmions feet that our worldly occupation frequently seems to be divided. into sections of six days eacb? • Every week, we have just enough work given us to d in six days.

'stop - r. thI when Saturday pight lace i your business. All things secu and spiritual in providence and revelation seem to say, "Remember the • Sabbath day to keep is holy." . When the six days of creation had passed God stopped working. Not even a pure flower or a white cloud would he make, beeause ti was the Sabbath, and, giving an ex- , ample to all future times, he rested. The Boat of All Days. '•,,i 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 monster.
