TALMAGE ADDRESSES A MEETING OF CHAUTAUQUA-NS. • 1 here NTsis No unith in the Land 01 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 of Iiintirmice. nliti in the twine 0r the !Lord God , 1: Isr:tel. slit. il to idoees thost, ilfel:nry 1'ii1'kline.-1. le c1e5t4 it1t,f1 wil 1101 1 o (•(,!I vo,r-vil I. / (k n.1; then they 'weir - be destroveu. 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- cleauhness in Venice. then going on to AUGUST 4, 1893, eau ins brilliant misery On mssoiongn fretting at his nurse Fletcher, fretting t himself, fretting at the World, frettin at God. and he who gave to the worl "Childe Harold," and "Sardanapalus, and "The Prisoner of Chillon," and "Th Siege of 'Corinth," reduced t� nothin but a file I Oh, sin has great facility.fo making promises, but,it has just as grea facility for bretticing them. A Chris tian life is the only cheerful life, while a life of wicked surrender i remorse, ruin and death. Its pointed glee is sepulchral ghastliness. In the brightest days of the Mexican Empire, Montezuma said he felt gnawing at his heart something like a canker. Sin, like a monster wild beast of the forest, sometimes licks all over its victim in order that the victim ma' be moreeasily swallowed ; but generally sin rasps, and galls, and team, and upbraids, and files. is it not so, Herod? Is it not so, Hildebrand? Is it not so, Robespierre? Aye ! aye! it is so ; it is so. "The way .of the wicked he turneth upside down." History tellias- us that when Rome was founded, on that day there were twelve vultures flying through the air; but when a transgressor dies, the sky is black with whole flocks of them. Vultures! Wheu I see sin robbing so many people, and I see them going down day by day, mid week by week, I must give a plain warning. I dare not keep it back lest I risk the sal- vation of my own sent.

"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 it iS French it is "playzongs" (as nearly • 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 Record. .
