'TALMAGE ON THE ClOUBT AND UN- - BELIEF OF THIS AGE. 1 _ Sad Cases of Christians Who Believe but , a Part of the Bible, of Men Who Doubt Everything And of self Styled Christians WhO Shrink From the Conflict. BR0OKLYN, Oct. 8.—Among the vast audiethces Whichcrowd- the Brooklyn Taberhaele at every service- are . large numbers of young men, many of is'hoin are t ' eological students, Dr.' Tal4ingete serm n to -night bad aspecial inter st for them! At this time when so ma v are giving up the Bible, or holding 'th truth less 1firmly• than before, the eloquent preadher put hint -self on record so clear- ly aid forcibly that no one who heard him could have any douot as .:to his attitt de. His teXt was II. Samuel xx•iii. 10, 'And his band clave mite the swor ," • A reat general of King David was Elee ar the hero of the text. The Phil,' his t oops retreated. The cowards fled. hear opened battle against him, and Eleazar and three of his comrades went ioto the battle and swept the field, four men! with God on their side are stronger than a whole battalion with God against then. "Fall back!". shouted the com- mail er of the Phillistine army, The cry ian along the host, "Fall back I" Elea ar having swept thefield throws hiirii1elt on the ground to rest, but the mus les and sinews of his hand had been sOio g bent around the hilt of the sword that the hilt was -embedded in the flesh., and -he gold wire of the hilt had broken Oro gh- the skin of the paint of the Ian, and he could not drop his sword which he had so gallantly weilded. band .clave unto the milord." That is. w at I call :magnificent fighting for the Lord God of Israel. And we want mor of it. I propose to show you this. evening how Eleazar took hold of the swo d and how the sword took bold Of Elea 'ar: Ilook at Eleazar's •hand, and 1 col le to the conclusion thdt be took the sword with a very tight grip. The cow- ards who fled bad no trouble in dropping thei swords.- AS they - fly oyer the rocks I he r their swords clanging in every di- rectibn. It is easy enough for them to drop their sword. But Eleazar's hand clay unto the sword. Oh, my frieirds, in this Christian con- flict ve want a tighter grip -of the gospel Weal ons, a tighter grasp -of the two - edge I mord of the truth. It makeS me sad tp see these Christian people who, hold ;only a part of the truth •and let the test Of the truth go, so that the Philis- tines e seeing the loosened gras.p, wrench the ,ohole sword away from theirs. The only Safe thing for us to do is to put our thun b on the book _ of Genesis •ind ewee t our hand around the book until the New Testament comes into the palm and keep on sweeping our hand arourd the book until the tips of -the fin- gers. lutch at the words,- "In the be- ginm. g God created the heavens and the e rth." I like an infidS1 a great deal 'better than . I do one of these oa m -pamby Christia-ns who. hold a part f the truth and let the rest go. By miraO' e God preserved this Bible just as it is, and it is a Damascus blade. The Eeverest test to which a sword can be put in a sword factory . is to wind the and t,1 en when the sword is let loose it bladeirround a gun barrel like a ribbon-, a flies , back to its . own shape. So the , 1 sa-ordi of God's truth has been fully testectand it is bent this way and that way, ,' and wound -. this way and that say, but it always comes back to Ls own shape. Think of it! A book - s•ritt u 18 centuries ago, and some of it t ions ouch of years- ago,•and yet in our t toe be average sale of this book is more than 20,000 copies every week, and more than a million copies a year. I SaY n w Unit a book which is • divinely insole d and divinely kept and •divinely scatte -ed is a weapon worth helding a tight !rip of. Biehop Colenso will come (long and try to wrench out of :your 'land the bye books of Moses, and tra,uss will. •come along and try to ren h out of Your hated the miracles, 4nd 1eiian ,wili come along and try to I,Vren li out, of your hand, the entire -life f the Lord Jesus •Christ, and your asso- iates in the store, orthe shop,or he fac- ory, - r the banking house N•ill try to ren 11 out Of your hand the entire - ible i but in the strength of the Lord up pardon and peace and life and la od Of Israel, and with Eleazer's grip hold en to it.. You give up th el Bible, , oou give up any part of it, and You give iljeaNs'l'1' Iehundreds, perhaps thousands, of aLoun own in this audience. Do not be aeloor ed, young man, to have the world 'nowi!that you are a friend of the Bible: ' 'his • ook is a friend of all that is good nd i . is the sworn enemy of all that is bad. i An eloquent writer recently gives an ine dent of a very bad mau-who. stood iitt WS cell of a svestern -prison. Tnis c'timi al had gone through all, styles of crime and he was there waiting for the &Joe s. The convict standing there at tlie window of the cell, the writer says, -"look' 11 out and declared, 'I ani an in fi- 1 e said that to all the men and wome 1 and children who happened to be ga hered there, 'I am an infidel,' " add 't ie eloquent writer saye, "Every man :aid woman there believed him." And thew riter goes on to say, "if he had st od there saying, '1 . ion a Chris- tian,' e very. num and woman would lutve said, '• le is a liar!' " • This Bible is the sworn enemy of all this wrong, and it is the fri nd of all that is good. Oh, hold en to it. 1 o not take part of it and throw the resit avti aY. Hold oe to all of it, Tlieiki are so ma . y people now who do not know. a k them if the soul is immortaloind ' they ea V. " 1 guess it is, 1 • don't know • perluirs it is, perhaps it isn't." Is. the lliyle rue ? " Well, perhaps .it is, mid perhai s it isn't ;• perhaps it mav. he tie - ore tivt ly ; and perhaps it may be partly, and perhaps it may not be at all. They despik' , what theycall the AI °stole: creed ; . but if their own creed • were \)fittt'1 out it would read like this : " I is helot in nothing, the maker ot last von a:A. earth, and in nothing which it hath s1:1t, which nothing was born of nothing, and Which nothing was dead and hurled end delseended into nothings and :us se Irtell nothing, and ascended to noddle,. antt now Sitteth at t he right hand re- m:think, from which it will °eine te judis-e nothing. I believe in the holy - agnostilc church and in the communioe of nothingarians, and in the forgiveness of nothing, - and the .resurrection of 'nothings and in the life tha t never shill! -be. Amen." That is the creed of tel.* of thousands of people. in 11. is day-. if you havea mind to :Rhet such a theorLy 1 vill not. " I believe in God the Father Almighty, ranal,er of hen Yen atal estith, and in Jesus Christ, end :it the hely catholic church, and in the communion of saints. and in tse lite everlasting. Amen." Oh, wheu I- see Eleakai tdking such a. stout grip of the eword in the teolse against sin and for righttN .:611es4, 1 vollie lo the conclusion 1 hat Wil:! ought to take a stronger grip of God'S Elernal truth, Inc sword of right- eousheSs. _ :As li' look - at E:eazar's hand I also notice Iiis spirit of self foreetfuloess. .,isle did notinotice that the hilt of Ids sword was eating throw:11 the palm' of his nano. rte. -ain not Know it hOrt As he wene out into the conflict he was - • So anxious for the.victory he forgot and that hilt might go ever so deep- ly into the palm of his hand it could not disturb lum. "His hand •clave unto tho sword." Oh, my brothers and sisters, let us go into Christian conflict with the , , sprit of •self-abnegation. Who cares whether the world praises us or de- nounces us? What do we care for mis- representation or abuse or persecution in a conflict like this? Let us forget ourselves: That man who is afraid of getting bis hand hurt will never kill a Philistine. Who cares whether you get hurt or not if you get the victory? -- Oh, how many Christians there are who are all the time worrying about the way the world treats them. They are so tired, 'and they are so abused, and they are so tempted, when Eleazor did not think whether he had a. hand, or an arm or 1.1 foot. All be wanted was victory. We see how men forget thems.eIves worldly achievements. We have often. seen inen who in order to achieve world- - ly success will forget all physical fatigue ..and all annoyance and all obstacles. Just after the battle of Yorktown, in the Anierican Revolution, a musician; wounded, was told lie must have hie limbs amputated, and they were about to fastenhim to the surgeon's table—for it was long before the merciful discovery of anassthetics. He said, "No, don't fas. ten -me to that table;.get me a A violin was brought to him and he said. "Now go to work as I begin :to play," and for forty minutes, during the awfu: pangs of amputation, he moved not a muscle nor dropped a note while he - played -some sweet tune 011, is it not strange that with the music of the Gos- pel.of Jesus Christ and with this grand ;march of the church militant on the way to become the church triumphant. we cannot forget ourselves and forget .all pang and all sorrow and all persecution and all perturbation? We know what men accomplish under worldly opposition. . Men do not shrink back for antagonism' or for hardship. You have -admired Prescott's "Conquest of Mexico,'" as brilliant and beautiful a history as was ever ‘vritten ; but some of you may not know under • what disad- vantages it, was written—that "Conquest of Mexico" -for Prescott was totally blind, and he had two pieces of wood parallel to 'each other fastened, and totally blind, with his pen between those 'pieces of wood he wrote, the stroke against one pieco of .wood telling how ,far the pen must go in the other way. Oh, how much men will endure for worldly knowledge and for ‘eorldly suc- cess, and how little ‘ve venture . foi• Jesus Christ. How many Christians there are that go around saying : "Oh, my hand, my hand; my hurt hand ; don't you see there is blood on the hand, and there is blood on the svilord ?" while Eleazer, with the hilt i4ibedded in the flesh of his right hand, does:not know it, - What have we suffered in comparison NV WI those who expired with suffocation, or Were burned, or were chopped to pieces for the truth's sake? We talk of the persecutiou of olden times. There is justeas much persecution going Ori now in various ways. In 1849; in Madagascar, eighteen men - were put to • death for Christ's sake. They were to be hurled over the rocks, and before they were hurled over the rocks, in Order to make their death the ninfe painful in anticipa- tion, -.they were put in baskets and swung to and fro over the precipice that they might see how many ouudred feet they would have to be dashed down, and while they were swinging in these bas- kets over the rocks they sang,. Jesus, lover of my soul,. Let Inc to Thy bosom fly, While the billows near me roll, While the tempest still is high. Then -they were dashed down to death! Oh; how mush others have endured for Christ, and how little we 'endure for Christ ! •'We want to ride to heaven in a Pullman sleeping car, our feet on soft plush, the bed made upearlv so we can sleep tillthe way, and :the Clack porter of death to wake up up only intimeto 'enter the golden city. We want all the surgeons to fix our hand up.. Let them. bring on all the' lint, and all the band- ages-, and all the salve, for our hand is hurt,while Eleazar does riot know his hand is hurt. "His hand chive unto the sword." As I look at Eleazar's hand I come to tae conclusion that fie hag alone a great deal of hard hitting. I am not surprised when I see that these four men—Eleazer and his three companions—drove back the army -.of Philistines that Eleazar's sword elate to his hand, for every time he struck on the enemy with one end of the sword the other end of the sword wounded him. When he took hold of •the sword the sword took hold of him. 10h,- we have found an enemy who can- . not be conquered by rose water and soft r speeches. Imust- be sharp stroke and straight thrust. There is intemperance., abd there is fraud, and there:, is gam- bling, and there is luet,and there are ten thousand battalions of iniquity, armed Philistine! iniquity. How are -they to be captured anti overthrown ? Softser- mons in morocco cases lad down in front of an exqisite audience will not do , it. You have got to call things by their right. names. We have got to expel:from our churches Christians who eat the sacrament on -Sunday and devour widows' houses all the week. We have got to . stop our in- dignation tigainet the ollittites and tile Jebusites and the Gergiehites, and let those poor -wretches Igo, and apply our indignation to the modern transgressions whirl need to be dragged out and slain. Ahabs here. Herod; Here. jezebels Here. The massacre of the infants here. Strike for God so hard that while you slay the sin the sword .adhere to your own hand. I tell you, my friends, we Want a few John Knoxes and John 'Wesleys in the Christian church to -day. The whole tendency is to refine on Christian work; We keep on refining on it until send apologetic .word to ..iniquity we are about to capture it. And we must go with sword silver chased and presented by the ladies, and we must ride on white palfrey under embroidered housing, putting the spurs in only just enough to make the charger dance gracefully, and then we must - send a missive, delicate as a wedding card, to ask the old black giant of sin if he will not surrender. Women saved by the grace of God and 011 glorious mission sent, detained from Sabbath claSses because their nelx hat is not done. Churches that shook our cities with great revivals sending around to ask some demonstrative wOrshipper he will not please to say "amen" anti "hallelujah" a little softer. It seems as in our churches we wanted a baptism of cologne and balm of a thousand fislwers, when we actually need a beptisna of fire from the Lord God of Pentecost. But we are so Afraid somebody will criticise our prayers, or criticise our religious work that our anxiety for the world's 'redemption is lost in the fear we will get our hand hurt. while Eleazar went into the conflict,"And his hand clave unto the sword." -But I see in the next place what a hard thing it was for Eleazar to get his hand and his sword parted. The iiiuseles and the sinews had been so long grasped around the sword he could, not drop it when he proposed to drop it, and his three com- rades, I suppose, came up and tried to help him. and theybathed the back nart or tree nand, !toping the sinews mid nruselee would relax, _But nO. "His hand clave unto the sword." Then they tried to pub open the fingers and pull back the thumb; but no sooner were they pulled hack than they closed again, "and his hand chive unto the sword." But after a while they were suceessful, and theu they noticed that the curve in the lailin of the hand corresponded exactly with the curve (if hilt, "His hand clavie unto the sword." Oh, i: thereever was any one who had a right to retire from the conflict it was old -Joshua. Soldiers cotne hack from battle lalve the names of the battles on their flags, showing where they dis- tinguished themselves, and it is a very appropriate inscription. Look et the flag of old General josimit 1 011 it Jerielm, Gibeon, Hans, City of Ai, and iiitead of the stars sprinkled 00 the flag tile mut Inni the meon which stood still.

His dyiog words are 11 battle charge against idolatry and a rallying cry from the Lord it Hosts as he says, "Behold, this day I go the way of t e earthaand God bath not failed tosf whit his promise concerning Isreal." His dying hand chive. unto the sword. - There is the headless body of Paul on the road at Ostia. His great brain and his great ri.eart have been severed. ?Tile elmwood rods had stung him fearfully.

We have been greatly assisted in our search by ample means and a large experience. Our stock is now very large and . thoroughly assorted. We have been especially successful in our search after Ladies' and Children's Coats, which were secured direct from the best manu- facturers of Gerraany ; also in Dress Goods, Gloves and Hosiery, bought direct from French and English manufacturers. We have also opened up business this season with an immense concern in Manchester, England, who are the sole owners of a number:of the best manufacturing establishments in great Britain. From these people we have bought largely our Linen Underwear, Gents' Furnishings, Carpets, Oil Cloths, Tweeds, Coatings, Ladies' and Gents' Waterproof Coats, Handkerchiefs, Silks, Satins, Smallwares and Notions. In Millinery, we purchased largely of a Glasgow house. Our Millinery Department will be again this season tinder the able man- agement of Miss Sheppard, who gave such universal satisfaCtion last season. Our Clothing Department, both ordered and readymade„will be found fully ahead of all former seasons. Our Fur Department will totally eclipse all 'former seasons, as we have nearly doubled our usual purchases. We cordially invite an inspection of our various departments. WM.
