REV. DR. TALMAGE PREACHES
UPON A TIMELY THEME.
gra pays a Glowing Tribute to Great Brit-
Irensrable Itttler-eMbe Capacity of
Women -The Splendors of Eartlb. and of
Heaven.
Beatrice, Neb., June 20. -This is Dr.
Talmage's third annual visit to the
Chautauqua here, "one of the greatest
throngs ever assembled on this contbeent.
He lectured yesterday; he, preaches fa-
de oy. Text, Esther v, 8, "What with th
Queen Esther?"
This question, which was asked of a
queen. thousands of years ago, all civil-
ized nations are this day askingef Queen
Victoria. "What wilt thou have or honor,
of reward or reverence or service of
national and international acclamation?
What wilt thou, the queen of the nine-
teenth century?" The seven miles of
precession through the streets of London
day after to-morrow:will be a small part
of the congratulatory procession whose
multitudinous tramp will encircle the
earth. The celebrative anthems that will
sound up'from Westminster abbey and
St. Paul's cathedral in London will be
less than the vibration of one harp string
as compared with the doxologies which
this hour roll up from all nations in
praise to God for the beautiful lite and
the glorious ireign of this oldestgqueen
amid centuries. From ..5 o'clock of the
morning of 1837, when the archbishop
of Canterbury addressed the embarrassed
and weeping and almose affrighted girl
of 18 years with the startling words,
"your majesty," until this sixtieth anni-
versary of her enthronement, the Drayer
of all good people on all side of the seas,
whether that prayer be offered by the
300,000,000 of her subjects or the larger
number of millions who are not her sub-
jects, whether that prayer be solemnized
in church, or rolled from great orches-
tras or poured forth by military bands
from forts and battlements and in front
of triurnpha,nt armies all around the
world, has ben and is now, "God save
the queen!" Amid the innumerable col-
umns that have beeo printed in eulogy
of this queen at the approaching anni-
versary -columns which, put to gether,
wonld be literally miles leng-it seems
to nee that the chief cause of congratula-
tion to her and of praise to God has not
yet been Properly emphasized, and in
many cases the chief, keynote has not
been struck at all.
We have been told over and over again
what has occurred ia the Victorian era.
The mightiest thing she has done has
been. almost ignored, while ehe has been
honored by having her name attached to
individuals and livents for whom and
for which she had no responsibility. We
have put before us the names of potent
and grandly useful men and women who
have lived during her reign, but I do
not suppose that she at all helped
Thomas Carlyle in twisting his involved
and mighty satires, or helped Disraeli
In issuance or his epigrammatic wit, or
helped Cardinal Newman in his crossing
over from religion to religion, or helped
to inspire the enchanted sentiments of
George Eliot and Harriet Martineau and
Mrs, Browning, or helped to invent any
of George Cruikshank's healthful car-
toons or helped George Grey in founding
BAtish South African empire, or
kindled the patriotic fervor with which
John Bright stirred the masses, or had
anything to do with the invention of the
telephone or photograph, or the building
up of the science of bacteriology, or the
directing of the Roentgen rays which
have revolutionized surgery, or helped
In the inventions for facilitating printing
and railroading Ina ocean voyaging. One
Is not to be credited or d oredited for
the virtue or the vice, the brilliance or
the stupidity, of hia or he centenspor-
aries. While Queen Victoria has been the
friend of all art, all literature, all
cience, all invention, all reform, her
eign will be most remembered for all
ime and all eternity as the reign of
Christianity. Beginning with the scam;
t 5 o'clock in the morning in Kensing-
on 'palace, where she asked the arch-
ishop of Canterbury to pray for her, and
hey knelt down, imploring divine guid-
nee, until this hour, not only in the
ublime liturgy of her .established
hurch, but on all ' occasions, she has
irectly or indirectly declared, "I believe
n God the Father Almighty, maker of
eaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ,
is only begotten Son." I declare it, fear-
ess of contradiction, that • the mightiest
ha.mpion of Christianity to -day - is the
hrone ot England. •
The queen's book, so much criticised
t the time of it e appearance, some say;
g it was not skillfully ,one and seine

I believe that, no • throne l since the
throne of David, and the throne of Heze-
kiah, and the throne of Esthee has been
In such constant touch with the throne
of heaven as the throne of Victoria. From
what I know of her habits she reads the
Bible more than she does Shakespeare.
She admires the hymns of Horatio Boner
more than she des Byron's 'Corsair."
She has not knowingly admitted into
tiler presence o corrupt man or . diseolute
woman. To very distinguished novelists
and very celebrated prima donnas she has
declined reception because they were
immoral. All the coming .oenturiss of
time cannot revoke the advantages of
having had 60- years of Christian woman-
hood inthroned In the palaoes of Eng-
land. Compare her court surroundings
with what were the court surroundings
In the time 'of Henry VIII; or what were
the court surroundings in the time of
Napoleon, in the time of Louis XVI, in
the times of men and women whose
namestmay not be xnentioned ih decent
society. Alas for the revelries, and the
worse than Belshazzar feasts, and the
more than Herodian dances, and the
scenes from which the . veil must not be
lifted.

tions of earth and heaven, "What wilt

Life Uncorrupted.
Another thing Leal' to your attention
in this illustrious woman's career is that
she is a specimen of high life uncor-
rupted. Would she have lived to celebrate
the sixtieth anniversary of her coronation
and the seventy-eighth anniversary of
her birthday, had she not been an ex-
ample of good principals and good hab-
its? While there have been bad men and
women in exalted station and humble
station who have carried their vices -
clear on into the seventies and eighties
and even- the nineties of their lifetime,.
such persons are very rare: The majority
of the riCiattS die in their thirties, and
fewer reaeb, the forties, and they aro ex-
ceedingly scarce in the fifties. Lohgeiity
has not been the characteristic of the
most of those who have reached high
places in that or this country. In niany
cases theitwealth leads them into indul-
gences, or their honors make them reck-
less, or their 'opportunities of doing
wrong are multiplied into the over-
whelmingeand it IS as true now as when
the Bible fl ot presented it, "The wicked
i..
, live not ou half their days." Longevity
is not a. po. ItIve proof of goodness, but
it is prima facie evidence in that direc-
tion. A loose life has killed hundreds of
eminent Americans and Europeans. The.
doctors are very kind, and the certificate
given after the distinguished man of
dissipation is dead, says, "Died of con-
gestion of the brain," although it was
delirium tremens, or "Died of cirrhosis"
of the liver," although it. was a round
.of libertinism, or "Diea of heart fail-
ure," although it was the vengeance of
outraged law that slew him. Thanks,
doctor, for you are right in "saving the
feelings of the bereft household by not
being more specific. Look, all ye who
are in high places of the earth, and see
one who has been plied by all the tempt-
ations Which wealth and honor and the
secret place of Palaces could produce,
and yet next Tuesday she will ride along
In the presence of 7,000,000 people, if
they can get within sight of her chariot,
In a vigorous old age, no more hurt by
the splendors that have surrounded her
for 78 years than is the plain country
woman come down from by mountaib
home in an oxcart to attend the Satur-
day. marketing. The temptations of social
life among the successful class have been
so great that every winter is a holocaust
of human nerves, and the beaches of this
tossiog sea of high life are -constantly
strewn with physical and mental and
moral shipwreck. Beware, all ye success-
ful ones. 'Take a good look at the vener-
able queen as she rides through - Regent
street and along the Strand and through
Trafalgar squere and by the Nelson
mounument. What is the use of your
dying at 40, When you may just as well
live to be 80?
- If you arc doing nothing for God er
the race, the sooner you:quit the better.
But if you are worth anything for the
world's betterment, in the strength of
God and through good habits lay out a
,plan for a life that will reach' through
most of a century. How many people
are practically suicides from the fact -that
their gormandizing or their recklessness
or their defiance of dietetics and plain
sanitary law cuts short their. - days! In-
deed, so great is the temptation of those
who have bountiful tables and full wine
closets that Solomon suggests that in-
stead of putting the knife into the meat
on their plate they. direct the edge of it
aeross their throat. Proverbs xxiii, 1,
"When thou sittest to eat with a ruler,
consider diligently what is 'before thee,
and put a knife to thy throat if thou be
a man given to appetite." I believe more
people die of improper eating than die of
strong drink. The former *musts no
delirium or violence and works more
gradually, but none the less fatally.
Queen Victoria's habits, self denying and_
almost ascetic, ander a good Providence,
account for her Magnificent longevity: It
may be a homely lesson for a sexagesi-
rnal anniversary in British places, but it
Is worth all the millions of dollars the
celebration will cost and the laborious
convocation of the representatives from
all the zones of the planet if the nations
will learn 1the sanitary lesson of good
hours, plain. food, out door exercise,
reasonable abatinence and common eense
habits. That, which Paul said to the
jailer is just as appropriate for you and
for me, "De thyself no harm." And !here
let me say, no people outside of Great
Britain ought to be more interested in
this queen's jubilee than our nation. The
cradles of -most of our ancestors were
rocked in Great Britain. They played in
childhood on the banks of the l Thames,
or the Clyde, or the Shannon. Take from
myveins the Weleh blood and the Scotch
blood, and the streams of my life would
be a shallow. Great Britain is our grand-
mother. We have read in tae family
records that without our grandmother's
consent her daughter, our mother, left -
home and married the genius of Ameri-
can independence, and for awhile there
was bitter estrangement But the.family
quarrel has ended, aoti all has been for•
given, aid we shake hands every day
across the seas.
At thitt queenly anniversary our au-
thorized lrepresentative will offer,greeting
in Buckthigham palace, and our warships
will Collider congratulation in English
waters. They are over there, bone of our
bone and, flesh of our flesh. It Is our
John Builyan, our Wilberforce, our Cole-
ridge, out De Quincey, our John Milton,
our John Wesley, our John Knox, our
Thomas Chalmers, our Bishop Charnock,
our Latimer, our Ridley, our Walter
Scott, oar Daniel O'Connell, out Robert
Emmet, our Havelock, our Henri Law-
rence our William E. Gladstone, or
Queen Victoria! Long live the daughter
of the Duchess of Kent!
Again, this international oocasion im-
presses me with the fact that weznan is
competent for political government -when
God Calls her to it. Great fears have been
experienced in this country that woman
would get the right of suffrage, and as a
consequence, after awhile, woman might
get into congressional chair, and, perhaps
after awhile, reach the chief magistracy.

Cape May swallow the Atlantic? Can
the breath of a summer fan drive back

when all the,: combined forces of earth
and hell ,can keep Christ from ascending

the psalinist foresaw that ceronation,
_ and cried out in regard to the Messiah,
"Unto himself shall his crown flourish:"
From the cave of black basalt St. John
foresaw it, and cried, "On his head were
many memos." Now do not miss the
beautehof that figure. There is no room
in any head for more than one crown of
silver, geld or diamond. Then what does
the book mean When it says,. "On his
head were inany crowns?" Well, it
meanstwisted and enwreathed flowers.
To prepare a crown for your child and
make her the "queen of the May," you
might take the white- flowers out of one
parterre, a-nd the orims.on .flowers out of
another parterre, and the blue flowers
out of another parterre, end the pink
flowers out of another parterre, and
gracefully and skillfully work these four
orfive crowns into one crown of beauty.

tvo Coronations.
But as al of us will be denied attend-
ance on tha sixtieth anniversary corona-
tion I invit you, not to the anniversary
of a coronet on, but to a coronation itself
--aye, to tv o eoronations. Brought up
as we are, t love as no other form of
government jthat which is republican and
democratic. ve living on this side of the
sea cannot s easily as those living on the
other side of the sea appreciate the two
coronations to which all up and down
the Bible you and I are urgently Invited.
Some of you have such morbid ideas
of religion t at you think of it as going
down into a dark cellar, or out on a
barren cominons, or as a flagellation,
when, so far from a dark cellar, it is a
palace), and instead of a barren commons
ItIsa garden, atoss with the brightest
fountains that were ever rainbowed, and
instead of flaellation it is coronation,
but a coronaion
whose Sixtiet anniversary is now being
con utterly eclipsing the one
I
celebrated. t was a great day when
David, the 1 ttle king who was large
enough to thrash Goliath, took the crown
at Rabbah-r. crown weighing a talent
of gold and encircled with precious
stones -and the people shouted, "Long
live the kingui; It WitS a great day when
Petrarch, s ounded by 12 patrician
1
youths clothe1 in scarlet, received from
a senator the laurel crown, and the peo-
ple shouted, "Long live the poet!" It
was a great dey when Mark Antony put
upon Caesar the mightiest tiara of all
the eerth, and in honor of divine author-
ity Caesar hs.d it placed afterward on
the head of the statue,of Jupiter Olymus.
It was a great day when the greatest of
Frenchmen took the diadem of Charle-
magne and pit it on his own brow. It
was a great d y when, about an eighth
of a mile fron4 the gate of Jerusalem,
under a sky p llid with thickest dark-
ness, and on- a mountain trammeled of
earthquake, ad the air on fire with the
f/t
blasphemies o a snob, a crown of spikes
was put upon the pallid and agonized
brow of our Josus. But that particular
coronation, amid tears and blood and
groans and shivering cataclysms, made
your own coronation possible.
Paul was not a man to lose his equili-
brium, but yhen that old missionary,
with erooiced aok and ,inflamed eyes,
got a glimpse jof the drown coming to
him and comi g to you, if you will by
repentance andi faith accept it, he went
into ecstasies, nd his poor eyes flashed
and hiocrooke back straightened as he
cried to Tiznot y, "There is laid up for
me a crown of ighteousness," and to the
Corinthians, " 'hese athletes run to 'ob-
tain a oorrupti le, we an incorruptible'
crown." And r the Thessalonians he
speaks of "the crown of glory," and to
the Philippians he says, "My joy and
crown." The Apostle Peter catches the
inspiration and cries out, "Ye shall re-
ceive a crown of glory that fadeth not
away," and Stt. John joins in the rapture
d est failure in the universe is the kingdom
U of satan. The grandest thrOne of all dine
and all eternity is the one that Chris is
- now mounting. The most of ns will not
see the consummation ofhis world, but
we will ;gaze on it from . he high hea-
ven?. The morning of that consummae
tiontwill arrive, and what a stir in the
holy city) All the towers, of gold will
ring its' arrival. All the chariots will
roll into Inc. . The armies . of heaven
which John saw seated on white horses
passing in infinite cavaleade.-- The in-
habitants of Europe, Asia, Africa, North
and South America and o all islands of
the BEM and perhaps of other worlds,
will join in a procession, 3ompared with
which that of next Tuesday will not
make one battalion. The Conqueror

ahead, hexing on his 'matt re and on his
thigh written "King of Kngs and Lord
of Lords," and when he passes . through
the chief of the 12 uplifted gates, all na-
tions following, may you rnd Elie there
to hear the combinedshut • of church
militant and church triu phant. Until
the choirs standing on "t1e sea of glass
mingled with fire" shall ound the tri-
umph in- more jubiliant s rains, accom-
panied by harpers with th ir harps and
trumpeters with their trumpets, tbe
hundred iand forty and our thousand
coming into the chorus, 1 think" we will
stick to Isaac Watts' old I hymn, which
the 5,000 natives of _ Tonga, Fijit and
Samoa sang when they gave up their
idolatries for Christianity, and I would
not be surprised to see Some of you old
heroes of the cross, who for a life time
have been toiling in the service, beating
time with your right hand, a little tremu-
loads with many years:-
Jesus shalt reign where'er the sun
Does his sucessiee journeys run;.
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore
Till suns shall rise and set no inor. - .
Let every creature rise and ,bring
' Peculiar honors to opr Kipg; .
Angels descend with song again,.
4nd earth repeat the loud amen.
and says, "Faithful to death, and I will
give thee a crown of life," and elsewhere
a
.
th
exclainis, "Hol fast, at no man take
thy crown." C owns, crowns, crowns!
You did not expect in cwing here to-
day to be invited to a coronation. You
can scarcely believe your own ears, but
In the name of a pardoning God, and a
sacrificing Chriet, and an omnipotent
Holy Spirit, and a triumphant heaven I
offer eaeh one e crown for the asking.
Crowns, crowns! How to get the crown?
The wan Victoria got her crown -on her
knees. Although eight duchesses and
marquises, all in cloth of silver, carried
her train, and the windows and arches
and roof of the abbey shook with the
"Te Denim" of the organ in full dia-
pason, she had to kneel, she had to
come down. - To get the crown of pardon
and eternal life you will have to kneel,
you will have to come *Town. Yea! His-
tory says that at her coronation not only
the entire asserahly wept with profound
emotion, but Victoria was in tears. So
you will have to iave your dry eyes mois-
tened with tears, in your case tears of
repentance, tears of joy, tears of corona-
tion, and you w 11 feel like crying out
with Jeremiah, "Oh, that my head were
waters- and mine yes fountains of tears."
