Israel—No Mode or Sharpening Weft-
peine—Cle etstlani Shatild Not Allow the
Enemy tot Steal Their Axes.
MADISON, \Vita, July 23.—A. great
throng of ' many thousands front all
•parts of the North and West are gather-
ed at the Monona Lake Assemble. a
Chautauqua held near this city. Rev.
Dr. Talmage this forenoon preached to
Ellis great multitude on "Sharpened
Axes," the text being ' I. Samuel 13:
1941 : "Now there was no , emit!'
found throughout all the land of Israel,"
etc.
. My loving and glad salutation to this
Uncounted host, CilalltitlIqUiL118, 0111'iS-
Lian Endeavorers, Gospel workers, and
their friends filein all parte of Wisconsin
and America. saints and sinners! My
text is gloriously appropriate. - What a
sealding fsub.jugation the Israelites were
suffering. The Philistines had carried
off all the blacksmiths, had torn down
all the blacksmiths' shops, and abolished
the blaCksmiths' trade in the land of
Israel. !nese! Philistines had a particular
grudgelagainst blacksmiths, although I
have always admired them, end have
sonietiMes thought 1 Alit to have been
one mYself.! The Philistines would not
even allow these parties to work their
valuable mines of brass and iron, nor
mightthev make any swords or spears.
There*ere only two left in all
the land. Yea, these Philistines went on
until they had taken all the grindstones
from Itheland of Israel, so that if an
Israelitish farmer wanted to sharpen
his plough or his - axe,he had to
go over to the garrison of the
Philietiues to get it dope. There was
only one ',sharpening instrument left, in
the land, and that was a file. The far-
mers, and the mechanics, having nothing
to whet up the coulter, 'and the goad,
and the pickaxe, save a simple file, in-
dustry was hindered, and work practi-
cally disgraced. The great idea of these
Philistines was to keep the Israelites dis-
armed. They might get iron out of the
Rills to make swords of, but they would
not have any blacksmiths to Weld this
irons: If they got the iron welded they
would have no grindstones on which to
bring the instruments of agriculture or
the military weapons up to an edge.
Oh,. you poor, weaponless Israelites, re-
duced Weis file, how I pity you ! But
these Philistines were riot forever to keep
their heel on the neck of. God's; children.
• Jonathan, on . his hands and knees,
climbs up on a .great rock beyond which
were -the Philistines ; and his armor -
bearer, on his hands and knees, climbs
rip the same rock, and these two mete_
with their two swords, hew to pieces the
Philistines, the Lord throwing a great
terror upon them. So it was then ; eo it
is now. The two men of God, on •their
knees, mightier than a Philistine host
on their feet.
I learn first from this subject. how
dangerous it is for the Church of God to
allow its weapons to stay in the hands of
its enemies. These Israelites might
again and again have ontained a supply
of swords and weapons, as for instance
when they took the spoils of the Am-
monites; but these Israelites seemed con-
tent to have no swords, no spears, no
blacksmiths, no grindstones, no active
iron mines, until it was too late for them
to make any resistance. I see the farm-
ers tugging along with their pickaxes
.and ploughs, and I say, "Where are you
going with those things?" • They say,
"Oh, we are going over to the garrison
of the Philistines to get these things
sharpened." ' I say, "Von foolish men,
why don't you sharpen them at home?"
"Oh," the , say, "the blacksmiths' shops
are all torn down, and we have nothing
left Us 1)11 a file."
So it is in the Church of Christ to -day.
We are to0 willing to give up our weap-
ons -to . the enemy. The world boasts
thatit has gobbled up the schools, and
the Colleges, and the arts, and the
sciences, and the literature, and the
printing press. Infidelity is making
a mighty attempt to get all our weap-
ons in its hand, and then to keep
them - You know it is makieg
this boast all the time; and after a while,
when!the great battle between sin and
. righteousness has opened, if we do not
look we will be as badly off as these
Israelites, without any swords to tight
with, and without any sharpening instru-
ments, I call upon the superintendents
of literary institutions to see to it that
the men who go into the class -rooms to
stend ,beside the Leyden jars, and the
electric batteries, and the microseopes or
telescopes, be children of God, not Philis-
tines. !! The atheistic thinkers of this day
are trying to get all the intellectual
• weapons of this century in -their own
grasp. What we want is scientific
Christians to capture the science. and
scholastic Christians to capture the
scholarship, and philosophic Christians
to capture the philosophy, and lecturing
Christians, to take back the lecturing
platform.'
We want to send out against Schenkel
and Strauss and Henan of the past, men
like the late Theodore Chrislich, of Bonn;
and against the infidel scientists, a God -
worshipping Sabi -nen and -Hitchcock and
Agassiz. 'We want to - capture all
• the philosophical apparatus, end
swing around the telescopes on the
swivel, until through them we
can see the morning star of the Re—
deemer, and with mineralogical hanfiner
discover the "Rock of Ages," and amid
' the flora of the realmQ we find the "Rose
of Sharon and the Lily of the Valley."
We want a clergy learned enough to
discourse of the human eye, showing it
to be a misceope and telescope in one in-
strument, with eight hundred wonderful
contrivances, and lids closing 80,000 or
40,000 times a day: all its muscles And
m evcs and hones showing the infinite
skill of an infinite God, and then winding
up ‘eith the peroration: "He that form-
ed the eye, shall he not see?'' And then
we want to discourse about the human
ear, its wonderful integuments, mem-
branes and vibrations, and its chain of
small bones and its --Auditory nerves,
closing- with the question: "He that
I lanted the ear, shall he not hear?"
And we want SMIle one to expound the
first chapter of tlensis, bring to it the
geology and astronomy of the world,
until. as Job suggested, "the stones of
1 he field shall be in league" with the
truth. and, "the stars in their cour4es
sl-atl tilt against Sisera." Oh, Church
of God, go out and recapture these
\\ eapims. Let men of God go out and
to ke possession of the platform. Let all
the printing press of this country
Speak out for - Christ, and the
reporters, and The type-i4etters, and
tile editors, and publisliers swear
- ttliegiance to tl.e Lord God of "
. truth. Ala my friend, that day must
come, and if the great body of Christian
men have not the faith, or the courtiee,
or the consecration to do it, then let
some *Jonathan. on his busy hands and
on his prayire; Imees. climb op the rick

Again, I, learn from this subject, what
a large amount of the church's resource
is actually hidden, and buried, and un-
developed. ' The . Bible intimates that
that was a very rich land—this land of
Israel. It says; "the stones are iron,and
Out of the hills thou shalt dig brass,"
and yet hundreds of thousands of dollars'
worth Of this metal was kept under the
hills. Well, that is the difficulty with
the Church of God at this dav. Its tal-
ent is not developed. If one-half of its
energy could be brought, it might take
the public iniquities of the day by
the throat and make them bite the duet.
If human eloquence were consecrated to
the Lord Jesus Christ, it could in a few
years persuade this whole earth to sur-
render to God. There is enough un-
developed Christian energy in the
United States , to bring the whole
world to Christ; but it is buried under
strata of indifference and unties whole
mountainsof sloth. Now it is not
time for the mining to begin, and
the pickaxes to plunge, and for this
buried metal to be brought out and put
into the furnaces, and be turned into
-
howitzers and carbines for the Lord's
hosts? The vast majority of Ohristians
in this day are useless; The most of the
Lord's battalion belong to the reserve
corps. The most of the crew are asleep
in their hammocks. The most. of, the
metal is under the hills. Oh-, is it not
time for the Church of God to rouse up
and understand that we want all the
energies, all the talent, and all the wealth
enlisted for. Christ's sake? I like the
niekname that the English soldiers gave
to Blucher, the commander. They call-
ed him "Old Forward." We have had
enough retreats in the ()unveil of Christ :
let us have a glorious adiance. And I
say to you now, ' as the General said
when his troops .were affrighted. Rising
up • in his stirrups, his hair flying in the
wind, he lifted up his voice until twenty
thousand troopsheard him, crying out:
"Forward, the whole line!"
Again; I learn from this subject that
we soinetimes do well to take advantaae
of the World's sharpening instruments.
These Israelites wese reduced to a file,
and so they went over to the garrison of
the Philistines to get their axes and their
goads and their ploughasharpened. The
Bible distinctly states in the context that
they had no other instruments now with
which to do this work, and the Israelites
did right when they went over to the
Philistines to use their grindstones. My
friends, is it not right for us to employ
the world's grindstones? ' 11 there -be art,
if there be logic. if there be business fac-
ulty on'the other side, let us go over and
employ it for Christ's sake. Tile fact is,
we fight with too dull- weapons, and we
work with too dull implements. We
hack and we maul when AT ought t�
make a clean stroke. Let us go over
among Sharp business men, and among
sharp literary men, and find out what
their tact is, and then transfer • it to the
cause of Christ. If they have science
and art it will do us good to rub aga inst-
it. In other words, let us employ the
World's grindstones.- We Will listen to
their nnisic, and we will watch their
acumen, and we will use their grind-
stones; and we will borrow their philo-
sophical apparatus to make our experi-
ments, and we will borrow their print-
ing presses -to publish our Bibles, and
we will borrow their rail -trains to carry
our Christian literature, and we will
. borrow their ships to transport our mis-
sionarieS. That was what made Paul
such a Master in his day. He not only
got all thelearninghe could get of Dr.
Gameliel, but afterward, standing on
Mars Hill, and in crowded thoroughfare,
quoted their poetry, and.grasped their
\
logic, and wielded their e oquence, and
employed their my thologyouitil Dimly.
sius the Areopagite, leained in the
'schools of Athens and. Heliopolis, %vent
down_ under ' his tremendous power.
That was what gave Thomas Chalmers
his power in his day. He con-
quered ,the world's astronomy and
compelled it to ring out the wis-
dom and greatness of the Lord,
until for the second time the morn-
ing stars sang together and all the sons
of God shouted for joy. That was what
gave to Jonathan Edwards his influeuce
ha his day. He eotiquered the world's
metaphysics and forced 'it into the ser-
vice of God, until not only the meeting-
house in Northampton, Massachusetts,
but all Christendom felt thrilled by his
Christian power! Well, now, my
friends, we all have tools of Christian
Usefulness. Do not let them lose their
edges. We want no rusty blades in this
fight. We want no coulter that cannot
rip up the globe. We want no axe that
cannot fell the trees. We want no
goad • that cannot start . the lazy -team.
Let Us get the very best grindstones we
can find, though they be in the posses-
sion of the Philistines'conspelling them
to turn the crank while we bear down
with all our might ou the swift -revolving
wheel until all our energies and faculties
shall be brought up to a bright, keen,
sharp, glittering edge. .
Again; ley subject teaches us on what
a small allowance Philistine in
puts a man. Yes; these Philistines shut
up the mines, and then they took the
spears and the swords, and - then they
-took the blacksmiths, then they tobk the
grindstone, and they hook everything
-
but a file. Olathis is the wa,v sin works;
it grabs everthing. It.. begins with rob-
bery, and it ends with robbery. _ It dis-
poils this faculty and that faculty, and
keeps on until the whole nature is gone.
Was the -man eloquent before, it gener-
ally thickens his tongue. Was he fine
in personal appearance, it mars his vis-
age. Was he affluent, it sends the
sheriff to sell ,him out. Was he influen-
tial, it destroys his popularity. Was he
placid,' and genial, and loving,, it makes
'him splentic and cross; and so utterly is
he changed that you can see he is sarcas-
tic and rasping and that the Philistines
have left him nothing but a file. Oh,
"the way of the transgressor is hard."
His cup is • bitter. His ' night is
dark. His pangs are deep. His end -is
terrific. Philistine iniquity says to that
man: "Now surrender to me. and I will
give you all , you want—music for the
dance, swift steeds for the race, imperial
couch to slumber on, and you shall be
refreshed with the rarest fruits, in baskets
of golden filagree." He lies. The music
turns out to be a groan. The fruits
burst the rind with rank poison. The
filagree is made up of twisted snakes.
The couch is a grave. Small allowance
of rest; small allowance of peadii; small
allowance of comfort. Cold, herd,rough
—nothing but a file. So it was with Vol-
taire, the most applauded man of his
day: • . •
The Scripture was his jet book, whence he drew
Bon mots to gall the Christian and the Jew.
An infidel when well, but what when sick?
Oh, then a text would touch him to the quick.
Seized with hemorrhage of the lungs
in Paris where he had gone to be croWn-
ed in the theatre as an idol of all France.
he sends a messenger to get a priest, that
he may be reconciled to the Church be-
fore he dies. A great terror falls upon
him. He makes the place all round
about him so dismal that the nurse de-
clares that she would not for all the
wealth of Europe see another infidel die.
Philistine iniquity had promised him all
the world's garlands, but in the last
hour of his life when he needed solac-
ing, went tearing across his conscience
and his nerves' a file, a file! So it was
with Lord Byron; his uncleanliness
in England only surpassed by his un-

"MIDWAY PLAISANCE."
Tile Correct Pr011talteintiOn of This Title
as Adopted by General 1.'sage. -
Since the opening of the fair it has
been. a matter to observe with regret that
the name of that strange thoroughfare
wherein many nations are represented
has been regularly and audaciously mis-
pronounced by a large proportion of the
general public.
It has been charged that in selecting
the title, "Midway Plaisance," the park
commissioners made an unwarranted
incursion upon a foreign tongue, but
when one considers the inadequacy of
the word "street." the effeminacy of
"avenue," and the total impossibility
of "boulevard," it is notniard to see what
led them to thechoice. Tile really woeful
consequence of their sAection_ ia to be
found in the weirdly varied prounneia-
dons which some people give it. Plez-
zunts" is common; eo is "playzance."
"Playzahnts," with the accent on mie, ulti-
mate, is a favorite. Frequently a speaker,
doubtful of his accuraeY, makes a sweep-
ing contraction and elision of the word,
with the evident hope of escaping obser-
vation, and says: "Midway Plez'nsh"
The More popular lexicographers offer
little help, and it remains with the
speaker to choose whether he shall con -
skier the word as English—it is an obso-
lete form of the archi ic Euglish word
"pleasaunce"—or as inodrmi French,
The spelling of the older English and the
present Gallic its identical. lf it is old
Eaglish it is "playzance," with the ac-
cent weightiest on the first syllable. If

as :way be indicated in English letters), I
with no accent at all, or with very little
accent on the final syllable.
Judging from the gerieral usage here,
it would seem that the latter pronuncia-
tion is the one destined to rule•—Cnicago

the English conquered it; and then afte

But the king gave theno , chance !to
speak. He rose and old them he had
heard they wanted ap ince of their own,
and that he meant to ive them one—a
born Welshman and speaking no other
language.
Then, as the Welsh ioyfully cheered as
loud as they could, he fetched out his
baby son, born the night before in the
Welsh castle, and, of course, the baby
could "speak no other language," as he
was not able to speak mit all. Ever since
the eldest son of the English royal

family has been callsd the "Prince of
