"IT GANT-BE-DONE"
A CRY THAT KEEPS BACK ENTER-
PRISES AND PROGRESS.

,
, bne--And Ku Are Shouting the Same
Old Cry To-Day-ttaimage Speaks Elo-
quently About Christopher Columbus.
BROOKLYN, 0\0t. 9. -Pum Dr. Talmage's
discourse to -day wasi oOrtsioned by the
Columbus observance now taking place.
In the oierflowing audience were Many
who had come to the city to participate in
the patriotic ceremonies. The subject was:
"Thaf a Planet," the text being Deu-
teronomy 327; "Lift up thine eyes west-
ward." •
So God said to Moses in Bible times,
and so he said to ' Christoforo Colombo,
the son of a wool -comber of Genoa, more
than four hundred years ago. The nations
;had been looking . chiefly toward the East.
The sculpture of the world, the laws of the
world, the architecture of the world, the
p llosophy of the wotal, the civilization
h
ofi tthe world, the religion of the world
clone from the East. But, while Columbus,.
Beads name was eailed after it was Latin-
- ized, stood studying map; and examining
'globes and reading cosmography, God said
to him : "Lift up thine eyes toward the
West." The fact was it must have seemed
to Columbus a very lop -sided world. Like
a cart with one wheel, lfke a scissors
with one blade like a sack on one side of
a camel, needing a sack on the other side to
balance it. Here was a bride of a world
with no bridegroom. When God makes a
half of anything, he does not stop there.
He makes the other half. We are all oblig-
ed sometimes to leave things only half done.
But God never stops half way, because he
has the time and the power to go all the
way. I do not wonder that Columbus was
;not satisfied with half a world, and so went
to wowk to find the other half. The pieces
,ef cared wood that were floated to the
shores of Europe by a Western gale, and.
two dead human faces,unlike anything he
had seen before, likewise floated from the
West, were to him the voice of God, saying:
'"Lift up thine eyes towards the West."
But the world then as now had plenty of
Can't-be-Done's. That is what keeps indi-
viduals back and enterprises back and the
church back, and nations back -ignomin-
ious and disgusting and dishearteningCan't-
be-Doness. Old navigators say to young
.Columbus, "It can't be done." The repub-
lic of Genoa, said "It can't be cloned'
Alphonso V. said "It can't be done." A
committee on maritime affairs, to whom the
subject was submitted, declared "It can't
be done." Venetians said "It can't be
done." But the father of Columbus' wife
died, leaving his widow a large number of
area charts and maps, and. as if to condemn
the slur that different ages put upon
mothers-in-law, the mother-in-law of Co-
lumbus gavehimithe navigator's materials,
out of which he ciphered America. After a
while the story of this poor but ambitious
Columbus reached the ear of Queen Isabella,
and she pays eighty dollars to buy him a
decent suit of clothes,. so that he
may be fit to appear before royalty.
The interview in the palace was successful.
Money enough was borrowed to fit out the
expedition. There they are, the three
ships, in the Gulf of Cadiz, Spain. If you
ask me which have been the most -famous
boats of the world, I would say, first,
North's ship, that wharfed on Mount Ararat;
second, the boat of bulrushes, in which
Moses floated the Nile; third, the May-
flower that put out from Plymouth with the
Pilgrim Fathers; and now these three ves-
sels that on this, the Friday morning, Au-
gust 3rd, 149% are rocking on the ripples.
I am so glad it is Friday, so that the prows
of those three ships shall first of all run
down the superstition that things begun or
voyage started on Friday must necessarily
prove disastrous. Show me any Monday or
Tuesday or Wednesday on Thureday or Sat-
urday that ever accomplished as much as
this expedition that started on Friday.
With the idea that there will be perils eon -
fleeted with the expedition, the Sacrament
of the Lord's Supper is administered. Do
not forget that this voyage was begun under
religious auspices. There is the Santa
Maria, only ninety feet long, with four
masts and eight anchors. The captain walk-
ing the deck is fifty-seven years old, his
hair white, for at thirty-five he- was gray,
and his face is round, his nose aquiline,
and. his stature a little taller than the
average. I knew from his decided step and
the iset of his jawthathe is a determined
num. That is Captain Christopher Colum
bus. Near by, but far enough off not to
run MO each other, are the smaller ships,
the Pinta and the Nina, about large enough
and iiefe enough to cross the Hudson River
or the Thames in good weather. There
are two doctors in this fleet of ships, and a
few landsmen, adventurers who are ready
to risk their necks in a wild expedition.
There are enough provisions for a year.
"Captain Columbus, where are you, sailing
for ?" "I do not know." "How long
before you will get there ?" "1 canteen
say." "All ashore that are going," is
heard, and those who wish to rely -Jane go
to the land. Now the anchors of the
three ships are being weighed and the
ratlines begin to rattle and the sails to un-
furl. The wind is dead east, and it does
not take long to get out to sea. In a few
hours, the adventurers wish they had
not started. The ships begin to roll
and pitch. Oh, it is such a delightful
sensation for landsmen! They begin to
bother Captain Columbus with questions.
They want to know what lie thinks of the
weather. They want to know when he
thinks he will probably get there. Every
time when he stands taking observations
of the sun with an astroiable they wonder
what he sees and ask more questions. The
erew are rather grouty. Some of them
came on under four months' advance pay
and others were impressed into the service.
For sixteen days the wind is dead cast, and
that pleases the Captain, because it blows
them further and further away from the
European coast, and further on toward the
shore of another country, if there is any.
After a while, there comes a calm day, and
the attempt is made to fathom the ocean,
and they cannot touch bottom though the
line and lead run down 200 fathoms. More
delightful sensations for those who are not
good sailors. A fathom is six feet, and
two hundred fathoms, one thousand two
hundred feet, and below that it may be
limey hundred feet deeper. To add interest,
to the voyage, on the 2.0tli day out, a vio-
lent storm sweeps the sea, 'and the Atlantic
Ocean tries what it can do with the Santa
Maria, the Pinta and the Ninaname of
you know something of what a sea can do
with the Umbria, the Majestic, the Teu-
tonic and the City of Paris, and you must
imagine what the ocean could do with those
three small ships of olden time. You may
judge what the ocean was then by what it
IS now; it has never changed its habits.
It can smile like the morning, but often
it is the Archangel of Wrath and its
most rolicking fun is a shipwreck. The
mutinous crew ' would have killed
Columbus had it not been for the
general opinion on shipboard. that he
waa the only one that could take them
hack home in safety. The promiee of a
silk waiscoat and $40 in money to the man
who should first discover land appeased
them somewhat, but the indignation and
blasphemy and threats of assassination
must have been awftai. Yet, God sustained
the .great sailor commanding the Santa
Maria. Every evening on shipboard they
, had prayers and sung a vesper hymn. But
after all the patience of those on board the
shires had been exhausted, and the great
Cantain or Admiral has been cu s d b
aveu anathema that human hips could
frame, one night a sailor saw a light mov-
ing along the shore, and then moving up
and down and then disappearing. On Fri-
day morning .at two o'clock, just long
enough after Thursday to make it mire that
it was Friday and so give another blow at
the world's idea. of unlucky days -on Fri-
day morning, Oct. 12th, 1492, a gun from
the Pinta signalled "Land Ahad" Then
the ships lay to, and the boats were lower-
ed, and Captain Christopher Columbus first
stepped. upon the shore, amid the song ,of
birds and the air a surge of redolence,. and
tOok possession in the name of the Father
and the Son and the Holy Ghost. So the
voyage that began with the Sacrament ended
with Gloria in Excelsis Deo. From that
day onward, you say there can be nothing
for Columbus,.but honors, rewards, rhap-
sodies, palaces and world-wide applause.
No, no! 011 his way back to Spain, the
ship was so wrenched by the tempest and
ao threatened with destruction that he wrote
a brief account of his discovery and put
it in a cask, and threw it overboard, that
the world might not lose the advantage of
his adventures. Honors awaits him on
the beach, but he undertook a second voy-
age and with it came all maligning and
persecution and denunciation aed. poverty.
He was called a land -grabber, a liar, a
cheat, fraud, a deceiver of notions. Specu-
lators robbed him of his good naMe,
courtiers depreciated his disnoveries, and
there carie to him ruined health, -and im-
prisonment and chains, .of which he said
while he rattled theni on his wrists :
will wear them as a memento of the grati-
tude of princes." Amid keen apprecia-
tion of the world's abuse and cruelty, and
with body writhing in the tortures of gout,
he groaned out his last words: "In menus
tuas Domine commend° spiritum meum
"Into thy hands, Oh, Lord, I commend my
spirit."
Of course he had real obsequies. That
is the way the world tries to atone for its
mean treatment of great benefactors. Many
a man has had a fine ride to his grave who
during this life had to walk all the way. A
big funeral, and instead of bread they gave
him a stone. But death that brings quiet
to the body of others did not bring quiet to
his. First buried in the church of Santa
Maria. Seven years afterward removed' to
Seville. Twenty-three years afterward re-
moved to San Domingo. Finally removed
to'Cuba. Four post-mortem journeys from
sepulchre to sepulchre. I wish his bones
might be moved just once more, and now
that they have coine so near to America as
Cuba, they might during the great Colum-
bian year be transported to our own shores,
where they belong, and that the fifth cen-
tury after his decease the American conti-
nent might, build a mansoleum worthy of
him who picked this jewel of a hemisphere
out of the sea.and set it in the crown of the
world's geography.
But the bright noonday sun of that old
sailor's prosperity went down in thickest
night, and though here and there a monu-
ment has been lifted in his memory, and
here and there a city called after him, the
continent that he was the means of found-
ing was named after another men and no
fitting commemoration of his work has been
proposed until nearly four hundred years
after his bOdy turned to dust. May the
imposing demonstration now being made in
his honor on the Atlantic coast, and to be
inside next year in his honor mid-continent,
be brilliant enough and far -resounding
nough and Christian enough and rnagnifi-,
cent enough to atone for the neglect of cen1
tuhies, May the good Lord allow that
most illustrious sailor of all time tp look
over the amethystine battlements long
enough to see some of the garlands wreath-
ed around his name and hear something of
the hemispheric shout that shall greet his
memory.
What most impresses me in all that won-
drous life which, for the next twelve
months, we will be commemorating by ser -
Mon and song and military parade and
World's Fair and • Congress a Nations, is
Isomething I have never heard stated, and
that is, that the discovery of America was
a religious discovery and in the name of
God. -Columbus, by the study of the pro-
phesies and by what Zechariah and Micah
and David and Isaiah had said about the
`ends of the earth," was persuaded to go
but and find the "ends of the earth," and
he felt himself called by God to carry
Christianity to the "ends of the earth."
Then, the administration of the Last Sup -
Per before they left the Gulf of Cadiz, and
the evening prayers during the vbyage,
and the devout ascription as soon as they
saw the new world and the doxologies
with which they landed, confirm me in say-
ing that the discovery of America was a re-
ligious discovery. Atheism has no right
here; infidelity has no right here; vaga-
bondism has no right here. And as God
is not apt to fail in any of his undertak-
ings (at any rate, I have never -heard of
his having anything to do with a failure).
America is going to be gospelized, and
from the Golden Gate of California to the
Narrows of New Y,ork Harbor, and from
the top of North America to the foot of
South America, from Behring Straits to
Cape Horn, this is going to be Imman-
uePs Land. All the forms of irreligion
and abomination that have cursed other
parts of the world will land here -yea,
they have already landed -and they will
wrangle for the possession of this hemis-
phere, and they will make great headway
and feel themselves almost established.
But God will not forget the prophecies
which encouraged Columbus about the
tend. of the earth seeing the
selvation of God," nor the Christian an-
them which Columbus led on the morning
of the 12th of October, 1492, on the coast
of San Salvador. Like that flock of land
birds which met the Santa Maria and the
Pinta and the Nina far out at sea, indicating
to the commanders of that fleet that they
were approaching some country, so a
whole flock of promises and hopes, gold-
ete winged and songful, this morning alight
around us, assuring us that we are ap-
proaching the glorious period of American
evangelization. A Divine influence will yet
sweep the continent that will make iniquity
drop like slacked lime, and make the most
blatant infidelity deelare it was only joking
when it said the BiKe was not true, and the
worst atheism annolince that it always did
believe in the God of Nations.
The great Indian navigator also impresses
me with the idea that when one does a
good thing, he cannot appreciate its ramifi-
cations. To thenenoment of his death, Co-
lumbus never knew that he had discovered
America., but thought that Cube was a part
of Asia. He thought the island Hispaniola
was the Opleir of Solomon. He thought he
had only opened a new way to
old Asia. Had be known. what
North and South America were and
are, and that he had found a country
three . thousand miles wide, ten thou-
sand , miles long, of seventeen million
square miles, and four times as large as
tirope, the happiness would have been
too much for mortal. man to endure. He
had no idea that the time would conie
when a , nation of sixty million people on
this side of the sea would be joined by all
the intelligent nations on the other side the -
sea, for the* most part of a year reciting
his wonderful deeds. It took centuries
to reveal the result of that one transat-
lantic voyage. So it has always been.
Could Paul, on that June day, when he was
decapitated, have had any idea of what
effect his letters and the account of his
life would have on Christendom? Could
Martin Luther have had any idea of the
echoes that would ring through the ages
from the bang of his hammer nailing the
Latin theses against a church door at
Wittenberg' Could Eli Whitney have
realized- the continents of wealth that
would be added to the South by,the Inven-
tion of his cotton gin? Could John Gutten-
berg. toiling year after xear. Making tens.

ing to cheat Guttenberg out of his inven-
tion, he toiling on until he produced what
is known as the Mazarin ;EN°, have any
idea that, as a result of his invention, there
would be libraries that placed side by side
would again and again engirdle the earth,
or showers of newspapers that snow the
world under?
While studying the life of this Italian
navigator, I am also reminded of the fact
that while we are diligently looking for
one thing, we find another. Columbus
started to find India, but found America.
Go on and do your duty diligently and
prayerfully, and if you do not find what
you looked for, you will find something
better. Saul was hunting for the strayed
animals of his father's barnyard, but met
Samuel, the.prophet, who gave him a crown
of dominion. Nearly all the great inven-
tions and discoveries were made by men
who at the time were looking for something
else. Professor More gone to Europe to
perfect himself in chemistry, on returning
happens to take the packet -ship Sully from
Havre, and while in conversation with a
passenger learns of some experiments in
France, which suggest to him the
magnetic telegraphy. He went to
Europe to learn the wisdom of others
and discovered the telegraph. Hargreaves
by the Upsetting of a machine, and the
motion of its wheels while upset, dis-
covered the mspinning jenny. So, my
friend, go on faithfully and promptly with
your work, and if yon do not get the
success you seek, and your plans upset,
you will get something just as good and
perhapabetter. Sail ahead on the voyage
of life, keep a correct log -book, brave
the tempest, make the best use of the
east wind, keep a sharp lookout, and I
warrant you in. the name of ,the God of
Columbus that if you do' not find just
what you want of an earthly nature, you
will find heaven, and that will be better.
What was worn-out India, crouching
under a tropical sun, compared with salu-
brious and radiant and almost illimitable
America and what is all that this little
world in : which lave live, can afford you
compared with that supernal realm,
whose foliage, and whose fruits, and
whose riches, and whose population, and
whose grandeurs, and whose worship, and
whose Christ make up an affluence that
the most rapturous vocabulary fails to
utter.
Another look at the career of that
Admiral of the Santa Maria persuades me
that it is not to be expected that this
world will do its hard workers full justice.
If any man ought to have been
treated well from fitst to last, it was
Columbus. He had his faults. Let
others depict them. But's greater soul the
centuries have not produced. This conti-
nent ought to have been called Columbia,
after the hero who discovered it, or Isa-
belliana, after the queen, who furnished the
means for the expedition. No. The world
did not do him justiae, while he was alive,
and why should it be expected to do him
justice after he was dead? Columb, in a
dungeon! What a thought? Columbus, in
irons! What a spectacle.
And, now, while I am thinking of this
illustrious Ship Captain of Genoa, let me
bespeak higher appreciation for the ship
captains now in service, many of them this
moment on the sea, the lives of
tens of thousands of passengers in
their keeping. ' What an awful responsi-
bility is theirs !, They go out through
the Narrows, or start from Queens.
town, or Southampton, or Glasgow;
not knowing what cyclone, or collisions,
or midnight perils - are waiting for
them. It requires bravery to face an army
of men, but far more bravery to face an
army of Atlantic surges led on by hurri-
canes. A more stupendous scene is not to
be witnessed than that of a ship captain
walking the bridge of a steamer in the
midst of a cyclone. Remember theme
heroes in Your prayers and when worn
out in the service, and they have to com-
mand inferior craft or return to the land
and go out of service, do them full, honor
for what they once were. Let the
ship companies award them pensions
worthy of what they endured until they
start on their last voyage from this world
to the next. Aye, that voyage we must
all take, landsmen as well as seafarers.
Let us be sure that we have the right pilot,
and the right chart, and the right captain,
and that we start in the right direction. It
will be to each of us who love the Lord
a voyage more wonderful for dis-
covery than that which Columbus
took, for, after all we have heard
about that other world, we know not
where it is or how it looks, and it will be
as new as San Salvador was to the glorious
captain of the Santa Maria. "Eye hath
not seen, nor ear heard, neither have enter-
ed. into the heart of man." May the light
from that Golden Beach flash on the dark-
ness, and we may be able to step ashore
amid groves and orchards and aromas such
as this world's atmosphere never ripened or
breathed. Through the rich grace of Christ,
our Lord may we all have such blissful aie
rival!
It a Man Can Write, Let Him Write.
If a man believes that he has some talent
for writing, it is indeed strange that he can
aliovv himself to be directed by a Master or
by the rule of any school, no matter how
great the master may be or how skilfully
devised the rule may seem. In the first
place, is it possible for a writer, no matter
how much he may wish to believe it, to
belong to any particular school? No, and
very fortunately, it seems to me.
A writer should do whet he wishes -to do,
and do it in his owe way, obeying only the
ell -powerful impulse that he has felt rising
from the depths a his nature, without ac-
cepting any Other judge than the wholly

Her Hat Was Removed.
A young lawyer in Boston was &eked the
other day why in English courts a woman
must always remove her hat. He could not
tell, but an old lawyer to whom the question
was referred recalled the opinion of Sir Ed-
ward Coke on the matter. It was a murder
trial wbere the prifoner was a woman and
appeared before the court with her head
covered.' Sir Edward Coke ordered the
prisoner to remove her hat and mad: "A
woman may be covered in church but not
when arraigned in a court of justice."
The accused party replied: It seems
@jugular that I may wear my hat in the
presence of Gcd but not in the preeence of
mar."
"It is not strange at all," replied the
judge, "for that man, with his weak intel-
lect, cannot discover the secrete which are
kpown to God, and, therefore, in investiget-
ng truth where human life is in peril and
are is charged with taking life in the court,
the court should see all obstacles removed.
The countenance is often the index to the
mind, andaccordingly, it is fitting that the
hat should' be removed and therewith the
shadow which it casts upon your face."
The hat of the priaoner was taken off, but
she was allowed for modesty sake to cover
her hair with a kerobief.-Brandon Buck-
