REV. DR. TALMAGE IN BEHALF OF
A FAMINE STRICKEN PEOPLE.
"Blessed is He That Coneldereth, the Poor
the Lord WEI Deliver Mins In Tints of
Trouble". -A. Thelliine Story of a Pros-
trate Penile.,
Chipago, May 3. --Dr. Talmage is on a
mission of bread for the famine sufferers
of India. He is speaking every day to
vast audiences in Iowa and illinoie,
help-
lng to 1111 the ships provided by the Uni-
ted States government for carrying cern
to India. Text, Esther i, 1, "This is
Ahasuerus which reigned from India
• even unto Ethiopia." -
Among the /78,693 words which -make
up the Bible only once wears the word
"India." In this part a the Scriptures,
which the rabbis call 4iMegillah Esther,"
or the volume of Esther, a .kook some-
times coMplained against because the
word "God" is not even once mentioned
In it, although one rightly disposed, can
see God in it from the first chapter to
the last, we have it set forth that Xerxes,
or Ahasuerus, who invaded Greece with
2,000,000 men, but returned in a poor
fisher's boat, had a vast dominion, among
other regions, India. In niy text India
takes its place la Bible geography, and
the interest in that land has continued
to increase until with more and more
• enthusiasna all around the world Bishop
Heber's hyran about "India's coral
strand" is being sung. Never will I for-
get the thrill of anticipation that went
through my body and mind and soul
when after two week's tossing on the
seas around Ceylon and India -for the
winds did not, according to the old hymn
- -
WM. Iratiread or efentling 'that 111ife:i
,Iturope, I think he goes' farther to‘wit
the heart of .Asia-nainely, India. The
Bible says nothing of Christ Pone 12
.years of age until 80, 'but there are
records in Iia ndand traditions in Indies
which represent a strange, wonderful
most exoellent and supernatural being as
staying in India about 'that time. 1

ory of distress.
Noble Missionaries.
"blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle -our ship
sailed up one of the mouths of the Gan-
ges past James and Mary island, so
named because a royal ship of that name
was wrecked there, and I stepped ashore
at Calcutta, amid the shrines and tem-
ples and sculptures of that City of Pal-
aces, the strange physiognomies of the
living and the cremations of the dead.
I had never expected to be there, be -
cease the sea and I long ago had a seri-
ous falling out, but the facilities of travel
a?e so increasing 'that yoi or your chil-
dren will probahly visit that land of
boundless fascination. Its configuration
is such as no one but God could have
architected, and it seems as if a man who
him' no religion going there would be
obliged to acknowledge a God, as did
the cowboy in Colorado. His companion,
an atheist, had about persuaded the cow-
boy that there was no God, but coming
amid some of that tremendous scenery of
high rocks and awful chasms, and depths
dug under depths, and mountains piled
on mountains, the cowboy said to his
atheistic companion, ".Tack, if there is
no God,- I guess from the looks of things
around here there natist have been a God
some time." No one but the Omniscient
could have planned India,' and no one
but the Omnipotent could have built it.
It is a great triangle, its base the Him-
alayas, a -word meaning "the dwelling
place of snows," those inciontains pouring
out of their crystal cup the Indus, the
Brahmaputra and the Ganges to slake
the thirst of the vast populations of India.
That country is the home of 240,000,000
souls. Whatever be one's taste, going
there his taste in'gratilled. Some go as
hunters of great game, and there is no
end to their entertainment. Mighty fauna
-bison, buffalo,rhinoceros, elephant,
parither, lion. tiger, this last to be the
perpetual_geme for Americans and Eu-
ropeans because he comes up, from the
mahirial swamps where _no human being
dare enter, the deer and antelope his
• aocustomed food, but Once having ob-
tained the taste of human blood hewants
nothing else and. is called "the man
eater." You cannot see the tiger's natural
ferocity after he hasbeen humiliated by
a voyage across the sea. You need to hear
his growl as he presses his iron paw
against the cage in Calcutta. Thirteen
towns have been abandoned as residenoe
because of the work of this cruel invader.
In India, in the year 1877, 819 people
were slain by the tiger and 10,000 cattle
destroyed. From the back of the elephant
or from galleries built among the tams
1,500 tigers went down and $18,000 of
government reward was paid the.sports-
men. I advise all those who in America
and other lands find amusement in shoot-
ing singing birds, coming home at night
with empty -powder flask and .a whole
crfdir of heaven slung over their shoulder
td absent themsettes for awhile and at-
tack the justifiable game' of India. Or
if you go as botanists, oh, what opulence
of flora! With no distinct flora of ite
own, it is the chorus of all the flora of
Persia and Siberia and China eind Arabia
and Egypt.
• Twonlreat Passions.
The Baptist missionary Carey, who did
infinite good to India, had two great
passions-411ot, a passion for souls, and,
next, a passion for flowers -and he
adorned his Asiatic home and the Ameri-
can homes of h40 friends and museums
on either side the Elea with the results of
his floral expeditions in India. To pre-
pare himself for morning prayers he was
accustomed to walk amid the flowers and
tree& it is the heaven of thei naagnolia
and abehnosk and palm tree. The ethno-
logist going there will find endless enter-
tainment in: the study of the races now
living there and the races of whose blood
they are a eommingling. -
The histoldan going there will find hia

Besides that, I remember that some
the most splendid -achievements for the
cause of that Asiatic Christ have been
snade in India. How the heart of overY

tion at the mere mention of the name of
Irony Martyn! Having read the life of
our American David Brainerd, who gave
his life to evangelizing ourAmerican
savages, Henry Marty') goes forward hi
give his life for the salvation of India,
dying from exhaustion of service at 81
years of age. , Lord Macaulay, writing of
him, says: -
Here Martyn lies. In manhood's earlY

The Christian hero found a pagan tomb.

Points to the glorious trophies which he
won.
Immortal trophies! Not with slaughter

wheat or corn or rice per day would keep
life going but they cannot get a handful.
The crops failed and the millions are
dying. Oh, it is hard to be hungry in a
world where there are enough grain and
fruit and meat V) ' fill all the hungry
mouths on the planet! But, alas, that
the sufferer and the supply cannot be
brought together. There stands India to-
day. Look at her. Her face dusky from

a dying nation feels; her eyes hollow with
unutterable woe; the tears rolling down

Mare agonies than she knows how to

it to me now. Bread,. bread, bread!"
America has heard the ery. Many
thousands; Of dollars have already been
contributed. One ship ladenewith bread -
stuffs has sailed from San Iiikancisco for
- India. - Our senate and house of repro-

secretary of the navy to charter a vessel
to carry food to the famine sufferers,

will pour fopth their treasures of food.
When that ship is laden till it can °arty

Oh, what a relief ship that will be! It
shall not turn a screw nor hoist- a sail
until we have had something to do with
its cargo. Just j.7 years ago from these
Easter times a ship on similar errand
went out from New York harbor -the
old war filth Constellation. e. It had
once carried- ons of death, but there was
famine in.Iteland, , and the Constellation
was loaded, with 600 tons of food. That
ship,. once covered with smoke of battle,
then covered with Easter hosannas! That
ship, constructed to battle England, go-
ing forth over the waters to carry relief
• to some of her starving subjects. Better
than sword into plowshare, better than
spear into pruning hook, Was that old
war frigate turned into a white winged
angel of resurrection to roll away the
stone from the naouth of Ireland's sepul-
cher.
On like errand five years ago the ship
Leo put out with many tons of food for
• famine struck Russia. One Saturday,
afternoon, .on the deck of that steamer
as she lay at Brooklyn wharf, -a wondrous
scene took place. A committee of the
King's Daughters bad decorated the ship
with streamers and bunting. American.
and Russian, flags intertwining. • Thou-
sands of people on the wharfs and on the
decks joined us in invoking God's bless-
ing on the cargo,' and the long meter
Doxology in "-Old Hundred" sounded
grandly up atoid the masts and ratlines.
Having had the joy of seeing that ship
thus consecrated we had the additibnal
joy of standing on the docks at St.
.Petersburg when the planks of the relief
ship were thrown out and the representa-
tives of the municipalities and of royalty
`Went aboard her, the long freight train
atkthe same time rolling down to take the
food to the starving, and on alternate
cars of that train American and Russian
flags floating. But now the hanger in
India is mightier than any that Ireland
or Russia ever suffered.- Quicker - ought
to be the response and on so vast a scale
that the one ship would become a whole •
flotilla -New York sending one, Boston
another, Philadelphia another, Charles-
ton another, New Orleans another. Then
let them all meet in some harbor of In-
dia. What a peroration of mercy for the
nineteenth. century! I would like to stand
on the wharf at Calcutta or Bombay and
see such a fleet come in. , With what joy
it weuld be welcomed! The emaciated,
would lift their heads on shriveled hands
and elbows and with thin lips ask. "Is
it coming -something to eat?" And
whole villages and towns, too weak to
walk, would crawl out on hands and
knees to get the first grain of corn they
could reach and put it th their banished

others to those sufferers: "Wait a little

Christianizing Asia has been that those

A. Divine Circle.
' et-hd now I bethink myself of some-
thing I never thought ofT before. I had
noticed that th.e circle is God's favorite
figure, and upon that subject I addressed
you some time ago, but it did not. menr
to me until now that the gospel seems to
be moving th a circle. It started in
Asia, Bethlehem, an Adatio village;
Jordan, an Aslatio river; Calvary, an
Asiatic Mountain. Then this gospel
movedon to Europe; witness the chapels
and churches and cathedrals and Christ -
Jan universities of that continent. Then
it crossed to America. It bas prayed and
preached and sung its way . across our
continent. It has crossed to Asia, taking
the Sandwich 'Islands in its way, and
now in all the great cities on the mast
of China people are singing "Rook of
Ages" and "There Is a Fountain Filled
With Blood," for you must know that
not only have the Scriptures been trans-
lated into those Asistio tongues, but also
the evangelical hymns. '
My missionary brother John translated
some of them into Chinese, and Mr.
Gladstone gave me a copy of the hymn,
"Jesus, Lover 'of My Soul," which he
bad himself translated into Greek. The
Christ who It seems spent 16 or 18 . years
of his life in India is there now in spirit,
convereing and saving the people by the
hundreds of thousands, and- the gospel
will move right on through Asia until
the stoey of the Saviour's birth will anew
be nia,de known in Bethlehem, and the
story of a Saviotir's sacrifice be told anew
on and around Mount Calvary, and the
story of a Saviour's ascension be told
anew- on the shoulder of Mount Olivet.
And then do you ii t see the circle will
be complete? The g orioles circle, the cir-
cle of the earth. T is old planet, gashed
with earthquake and scorched with con-
flagration and torn with revolutions, will
be girdled -ivith churches, with schools,
with universities, with millennial festivi-
ties. How cheering and how inspiring
the thought that we are, whether giving
temporal or spiritual relief, working on
the segment of such a circle, and that
the Christly miesion which started in'
Asia will keep 'on its way until it goes
clear around to the place • where it
started. Then the earth will have demon-
strated that for which it was created,
and as soon as a world has completed its
mission it dies. Part of the heavens is a
cemetery' of -dead worlds. Our world,
built to. demonstrate to the worlds which
'have been loyalito God the•awful results
of disloyalty, so that none of them may
ever attempt it -I say our world,* having
finished its mission, may then go out of
existence. The central fires of the ehorld
which are burning out rapidly toward
the crust imey have reached the surface
by that time and the Bible prophecy be
fulfilled, which declares that the earth
and all things that are therein' -shall be
burned up: The ransomed human race at
that time on earth will start unhurt in
those chariots of ilre for the great me-
tropolis of the universe, the heaven,
where ' the redeemed of the Lord shall
talk over the famines, and the plagueS;
and the wars which this earth suffered
and 'against which we struggled and
prayed as long as there was any breath
in us. Glorious consummation!
Christian Generosity.
May 10, 1869, was a memorable day,
for then was laid the last tie, that con-
nected the two rail tracks which united
• the Atlantic, and Pacific oceans. The
Central Pacific rtillroad was built from
California eastward. Thelinien Pacific,
railroad was uilt Westward. • They were
within arm's reach of meeting, only 01U3
more piece of the rail track to put down.
A great audience assembled, mid-oonti-
nenatosee the last tie laid. The locomo-
tives Of the •eastern and western trains
stood panting on the tracks dose , by.
Oration explained the occasion, and
prayer solemnized it and music enchanted
it. The tie was made of polished laurel
wood,bound with silver bands, and three
spikes were used -a gold spike, presented
• by California; a silver spike, presented
by Nevada, and an iron spike, presented
by Arizona. When, all heads uncovered
and all hearts thrilling with emotion,the
hammer struck the last spike into its
place, the cannon boomed it amid the re-
sounding mountain echoes and the tele- •
graphic instruments °Riled to all ea-.
tions that the deed was Mine. My friends,
if the laying of tholast tie that bound
the east and the west of one continent
together was 'inch a resounding occasion,
what will it be when the last tie of the
track of gospel influences, reaching clear
round the world, shall be laid amid the
anthems of all nations? The spikes will
be the golden and silver spikes fashioned
out of the Christian generosity of the
hemisphere. The last hammer strike
that completes the work will be heard
by all the raptured and piled up galleries
of the univente, and the mountains of
earth will shout to the thrones of
heaven: "Halle1u4 For the- Lord God
omnipotent reigneth. liallelaiah! Fr
the kingdoms of this (world Wee biome
the kingdonis of onr'Lord Jesus Christ"
