TALMAGE TAKES THE PRINTING ART FOR HIS SUBJECT. ! Expresses Ms Gratitude, to God and the Newspaper 4Commemorsites the Two Thousandth Publication of Hi. Sernsoni ' —An Appeal to Editors. Copyright 1898, by American Press Associa- tion.] Washington Feb. 20. --For the first time Dr. Talmage in this discourse tells In what way his sermons have come to.a 'multiplicity of publication such as has never in any other case been known eine° the art of printing was invented; text, Nahum 11, 4, " They' shall seem like torch- es; they alien run like. the lightnings." Express, rail train and telegraphic oena- munication are suggested, if not foretold, in this text, and from it 1 start to preach a sermon in gratitude to God and the newspaper press for the fact that I have had the opportunity of delivering throngh the newspaper press 2,000 sermoni or re- ligious addresses, so. that I have of many years been allowed the privilege ofpreaoh- -ing the gospel every week to every neigh- borhood in Christendom and in many lands outside of Christendom. Many have wondered at the process by. which it has come to pass, and for the Area time in public place I state the three causes. Many years ago a young man who has since become eminent in his profession was then studying law in a distant city. He came to me and said that for lack of funds he must stop his studying unless through stenography I would give him sketches of sermons, thate4e might by the sale of them secure means for the completion of bis education. I positively declined, because it seemed to me an im- • possibility, but after some months had passed, and I had. reflected upon the great sadness for such a brilliant young man to be defeated in his ambition for the legal profession, I undertook to serve him, of course free of charge. Within three weeks there came a request for those stenographic reports from many parts of the continent. Time passed on, and some gentlemen of my own profession, evidently thinking that there was hardly room for them and for myself in this continent, begap to as -sail me, and became so violent in their assault that the chief newspapers of America put special correspondents in my church Sabbath by Sabbath to take down such reply as I might make. I never made reply, except mice for about three minutes, but those correspondents could not waste their time, and so they telegraphed the sermons to their partieular papers. After awhile Dr..Louis Klopsch of New York systematized the work into a syndicate until through that and other syndicates he has put the discourses week by week before more than! 20,000,000 people on both sides the set3 There have been so many guesses on -this subject, many of them inaccurate, that I now tell the true story. I have not improved the opportun- ity as I ought, hut I feel the time has come when as a atter of common jus- tice to the _newsp per press I should make _ this statement in a sermon commemora- tive of the two thousandth full publica- tion of sermons and religious addresses, saying nothing of fragmentary reports, which would run up into many thousands more. Nothing ht4 Points. There was one incident that I might, mention in thie connection, showing hew!' an insignificant event might influence us for a lifetime. • Many years ago on a Sab- bath morning on ray way to church in Brooklyn a representative of a prominent newspaper met no and said, "Are you going to giver us any points to -day?" I said, 'What do you mean by. `points?' " Ile replied, "Anything we can remem- ber." I said to myself, "Wo ought to bo making `points' all the time in our pule pits and not deal in platitudes and inani- ties." That one interrogation put to me that morning started in me the desire of making points all the time and nothing but points. .And now how can I more appropriately connnemorate the two -thousandth publi- cation than by speaking of the news- paper 'Jess as an ally of the pulpit and mentioning some of the trials of news- paper men? The newspaper is the great educator of the nineteenth century. There is no force compared with it. It Is bookepulpit, plat- form, forum. -all in one. And there is not an interest—religious, literary, commer- cial, scientific, agricultural or mechanical —that is not within its grasp. All our churches and wheels and colleges; and asyluins and art galleries feel the quaking - of the printing press. The institution of newspapers arose in Italy. In Venice the first newspaper was published, and monthly, during the time Venice was warring againstt Solyman II. in Dalmatia, It was printed for the pur- pose of giving military and commercial information to the Venetians. The first newspaper published in England was in 1588 alld callea the English Mercury. Who an estimate the political, scientific, commercial and religious revolutions roused up in England for many years past by the press? The first attempt at this institution in France was in 1631, by a physician, who published the News, for the amusement and health of his patients. Tbe French nation understood fully how to appreciate this power. So early as in 1820 there were in Paris 169 journpas. But in the United States the newspaper has come to unlim- ited swa,-y. Though in 1775 there were but 87 in the whole coantry, the number of published journals is now counted by thousand, and to-day—we raay as well acknowledge it as not—the religious and soculer newspapers are the great educators of the country. Power of the Press. But, alas, through what struggle the newspaper has come to its present develop- ment! Just as soon as it began to demon- strate its power superstition and tyranny shackled it. There is nothing that despot- ism so much- fears and hates as the printing press. A great writer in the south of Europe declared that the King of Naples had made it unsafe for him to write on any subject save natural history. Austria could not bear Kossuth's journal- istic pep pleading for the redemption of Hungary, Napoleon I., wanting to keep his iron heel on the neck of nations, said that the newspaper was ' the regent of kings and the only safe place to keep an editor was in prison. But the great battle for the freedom of the press was fought in the court -rooms of England and the United States before this century began, when Hamilton made his great speech in behalf of the freedom of J. Peter Zenger's Gazette in America, and when Erskine made his great speech in behalf of the freedom to publish Paine's "Rights at Man" in England. Those were the Mara- thon and the Therinopylae where the battle was fought which decided the free- dom of the press in England and America, and all the powers of earth and hell will never again be able to put upon the print- ing press the handcuffs and the hopples of literary and political despotism. It is remarkable that Thomas Jefferson, Who wrote the Declaration of Independ- ence, also wrote these words. "If I bad to - f.ee !IRE ti ttO r•4 ExPosirrc)n -chooge betwien a governnient Without nevrepapers ,nd newspapers without a gav,ernment, would prefer the latter. ' -a Stung brooms new fabrication in print, we- come to write or speak about an "tint bridled printing press." Our new book ground up in unjust critielim, we come to*write or speak about the "unfair 'Print- ing press." Perhaps through our own in- distinctness of utterance we are reported as saying just the opposite of what we did say, and there is a small riot of emi. _colons and hyphens and commas, and we come to write or talk about the "blund- ering printing press," or we take up a newspaper full of sogial scandal and of cases of divorce, and we write or talk about a "filthy, scUrrilous printing press." But this Morning I ask you to consider the immeasurable and everlasting bless- ing et a good newspaper. Next to the Bible. I find no difficulty •in aceounting for the .,world's advance. What has made the -change? "Books," you say. NO, sir! The vast majority of citizens do not read books. Take this' audience or any other promiscuous assemblage, and how many histories have they read? How many treatises un constitutional law or political .economy or works of science? Ilciw many elaborate -poems or books of travel? Not inany. In the United States the people would not average one such book a year for -each individual. Whence, then, this intelligence, this capacity.to talk about all themes, secular and religious, this acquaintance with science and art, this power to- appreciate the beautiful and grand? Next to the Bible, the newspaper, swift winged and everywbere present, fly- ing over the fence, shoved under the door, tossed into the counting house, laid on the workbench, hawked through the ears! All read it—white and black, German, Irishman, Swiss, Spaniard, American, -old and young, good and bad, sick and well, before breakfast and after tea, Mon- day morning, ataturday night. Sunday and weekday, I now declare that I con- sider the newspaper -to be the grand agency by which the gospel is to be preached, ignorance cast out,oppression dethroned, crime extirpated, the world raised, heaven rejoiced and God glorified. In the clanking of the printing' pross as the sheets fly out I hear the voice of the Lord Almighty proclaiming ao all the dead nations of the earth, "Lazarus, come forth!" and to the retreating surges of darkness, "Let there be light!" In many _Of our city newspapers, professing no more than secular information, there have appeared during the past 30 years some of the grandest appeals in behalf of reli- gion and some 9f tho inost effective inter- pretations of 's government among the nations. Two Kindel of 'Newspapers. There aro only -two kinds of newspapers —the ono good, very good, the other bad, very bad. A newspaper may be started with an undecided character, but after it bag boon going on for years everybody finds out just what it is, and it is very good or it is very bad. The one paper te the embodiment aa news, the ally of virtue, the foe of crime, the aelectutIon of elevated taste, the inightest agency on earth for, making the world better. The other paper is ,a brigand among moral forces; it is a beslimer of. reputation, it is the right arm of death and hell, it is the mightiest agency in the universe for making the world -wlorse and battling against the cause . of God, the one an angel of intelligence and mercy, the other a fiend of darkness. Between this arch • angel and this fury is to be fought the grearbattle which is to decide the fate of the, world. If you have any dOubt as to which is to be victor, ask the prophecies, ask God; the chief batteries with which - he would vindicate the right and thunder down the wrong are now unlimbered. The great Armage.ddon of the nations -is not to be fought with swords,but with steel pens; not with bullets, but with type; not -with cannon, but with lightn- ing perfecting presses, and the. Smut:ere, and the Moultries, and the Pulaskis, and the Gibraltars of that conflict will be the editorial and reportorial rooms of our great newspaper establishments.. Men of the press, God has put a more stupendous responsibility upon you -than upon any other class of persons. What long strides your profession has made in influence and powersince the day when Peter Sheffer invented cast metal type, arid because two books were found just alike . they were ascribed to the work of the , devil, and books were printent'on strips /of bamboo, and Rev. Jesse Glover originated the first American printing press, and the corn - Mon council of New York, in solemn resolution, offered $200 to any printer who would come there and live, and when the speaker of the House Of Parlia. ment in England announced with indig- nation that the public prints had recog- nized some of their doings, until in this day, wben we have in thin country many newspapers sending dut copies by the billion. The press and the telegraph have gone down into the same great aharvest field to reap, and the telegraph says to the newspaper, "I'll rake, While you bind," and the iron teeth of the telegraph are set down at one end of the harvest field and drawn clear across, and the newspaper gathers up the sheaves, setting Own one sheaf on the breakfast table in the shape of a morning newspaper, and putting down another, sheaf on athe tea table in the shape of an evening news- paper, and that man who neither reads nor takes a newspaper would be a curi- osity. What omit progress since theadays when Cardinal Wolsey declared that eitber the printing press must go down ' or the Church of God must go down to this time, when the printing .pross. and the pulpit are in hundreds of glorious combination and alliance. Trials of: the Editor. One -of the great trials of this news- paper -profession is the fact that they are compelled to see more of the shams of the world than any other profession. Through every newspaper office day by day, go the weakness of the world, the vanities that want to be puffed, the revenges that want to be wreaked, all the mistakes that want to be corrected, all the dull speakers who want to be thought eloquent, all the meanness that wants to get its wares noticed gratis in the editorial columns in order to save the tax of the advertising column, all the men who want to be set right who never were right, all the oraok brained philosophers, with story as long asteir hair and as gloomy as their fin- ger ails, all the itinerant bores who mine W stay five minutes and stop an hour. From the editorial and reportorial rooms all the follies and shams of tho world are seen day by day, and the temptation Is to believe neither in God, man, nor woman. It Is no surprise to me that in your profession there are some skeptical men. I only wonder that you -believe anything. Unless an editor or a reporter has in his present or in his early home a model of earnest character, or he throw himself upon the upholding grace of God, he may make temporal and eternal ship- wreck. Demands of the Public. Another great trial of the newspaper profession is inadequate compensation. Since the days of Hazlitt and Sheridan and John Milton, and the wailings of Grub ,street, London, literary toil, with very few exceptions, bas not been proper- ly requited. When Oliver Goldsmith re- ceived a friend in his house. he (the au, 17 25, 1898, 4 - satisfying!

That there is peed n for all guilt and comfort for all troubl Set it up in "double - loaded" celum s and direct it to the whole race. The Angel's Wing. And now before I . close this s'ermora thankfully commemorative of the "Tye Thousan'dth" publication, I wish mo e fully to acknowledge tho services renderet by the secular press in the matter . f evangelization. All the secular new papers of the day—for I am not epeakin this morning of the religiousa newspapers —all the secular newspapers . of the day discuss all the questions of God, eternity and the dead, and all the. questions of the past, present and future. There is not a single doctrine of theology but lute bee discussed In the last ten years by the see ular newspapers of the country; k the i gather up all the news of all the 'earth bearing on religious 'subjects, and i then they scatter tho news abroad again. The Christian, newspaper will be the tight, wing of the Apocalyptic angel. The caline der of the Christianized printing pressi will be the front wheel of the laird's! chariot. I take the muelo of thia day, and I. do not mark it 'diminuende—I enark it crescendo. A pastor on a Sab- bath•preaches to a few hundred or a4ew thousand people, and on Monday • or dur- ing he week the printing press will take the me sermon and- preach it to mil - liens of people. God speed- , the printing pres I God save the peinting press! od Chri tianize the printing plass! When I see the printing press standing , with the electric telegraph on the one eide gathering up material and the lightning express train on the other side waitingt for the tons of folded sheets ,of lemma*, I pronounce it the mightiest force in our civilization. So I commend you to pray fee all those who manage the newspapers of the land, for all typesetters, for all. editors, for all publishers, that, sitting or standing in positions of such great influ- ence, they May give all that influence for race.

And I do- not know but as the thread of time unrolls and unwinds a little farther through tbe silent yet speaking newspaper may be found the vast inheritance of the world a redemption. .

He was - born in Ireland in 1820, and a nigrated to Toronto in 1843. He took op the stedy of medicine, and in 1852 obtained. th.! degree of M. D. from Toronto Univet- sity. He moved to Buffalo in 1859. At tie time af his death Dr. Cronyn was an honor- ary member of the Ontario Medical Asso • - tion. . tiler) had tci sit On the window, becaus there Was only one chair. Linnaeus- sold his splendid work for a ducat. Defoe a* the author of so many volumes, died, pen niless. The learned Johnson dined behind , a screen because. his clothes were too shabby to alio* him to dine with the gentlemen who, on thp.other side of the screen, were applauding his works. And so on down to the present time ' literary toil is a great struggle for bread. The world seemato bave a grudge against a man who, as they say, gets his living by his wits, and the day laborer says to the man of literati toll, "You come down here and shove a Plane and hammer a shoe last and break eobblestones and earn an hcinest living as I do instead of sitting there in idleness scribbling!" But there are no harder worked men- in all the earth than the newspaper people of this country. It is not a matter Of hard times; it is characteristic at all times. Men have a better appreciation for that which appeals to the stamaoh than for that which appeals to the brain. They have no idea of the immense financial and intellectual exhaustion of the newspaper press. Oh, men of the press, it will be a great help to you, if when you get home late at night, fagged out and nervous with your work, you would just kneel down and commend your case tci God, who has watched all the fatigues of the day and the night, and who has promised to be your God and the God of your children forever! :Another great trial of the newspaper profession- is the diseased appetitefor un- healthy intelligence. You blaine the newspaper press for giving MI promin- ence to murders and scandals. Do you suppose that so many papers would give . prominence to these things if the people • did not demand them? If I go into the meat market of a foes:gn city, and I find that the butohers hang up on the most conspicuous hooks meat that is tainted, while the meat that is fresh and savory is put away without any special care, I °Gnu) to the conclusion that the people of that city love tainted meat. You know' very well that if the great mass of pewit), in this country get hold of a newspaper and there are in it no runaway matches, no broken up families, no defamation of men in high position, they pronounce the paper insipid. They say, "It is shocking- ly dull to -night." I believe it is one of the trials of the newspaper press that the people of this country demand moral slush instead of healthy and intellectual food. Now, you are a respectable man, an intelligent man, and a paper comes into your hand. You open it, and there are three columns of splendidly written editorial, recommending some moral sentiment or evolving some scientific - theory. In the next column there is a miserable, contemptible divorce case. Which do you read first? You dip into the editorial long enough to say, "Well, that's very ably written," and you read the divorce case from the "long primer" tape at the top to the "nonpareil" type at the Itottom, and then you ask your wife if she has read it! Oh, Itis only a case of supply and demand! Newspaper men are not fools. They know what you want, and they give it to you. I believe that if the church and the world bought nothing but pure, honest, healthful newspapers, nothing but -pure, honest and healthful newspapere would be published. If you should gather all the editors and the re- porters of this country in one great con- vention, and ask of them what- kind of a paper they would prefer to publish, I be- lieve they would nnanimously gay, "We would prefer to publish an elevating paper." So long as there is an iniquitous demand there- will be an iniquitous sup- ply. I make no apology for a debauched newspaper, but I am saying these things in order te divide the responsibility be- tween those Who print and those who read. Temptations of Jonrnalists. Another temptation of the newspaper _ .profession is the great allurement that surrounds them. Every occupation and profession has temptations peculiar to it- self, and the newspaper profession is not an exception. The great demand, as you know, is on the nervous force, and the brain is racked. The blundering political speech must read well for the sake of tae party, and so the reporter or the editor bas to make it aced well, although every -sentence were- a catastrophe to the Eng., lish language. The reportertnust hear all that an inaudible speaker, who thinks it Is vulgar to speak out, says, and at must be right the next morning or the next night in the papers, though the night be- fore the whole audience sat with its band behind its ear in vain trying to catch it. This man must. go through killing night work. He must go into heated assemblages and into unventilated audience rooms that are enough to • take the life out of him. He must visit courtrooms, which are almost always disgusting with rum and tobacco. He must expose himself at the flre. He must write in fetid alleyway. Added to all that, he must ihave hasty mastication and irregular habits. To bear up under this tremendous nervous strain they are tempted to artificial stimulus, and how many thousands have gone down under their pressure' God only knows. They must have something to counteract the wet, they must have something to keep out the chill, and after a scant night's sleep they must have something to revive them for the morning's work. This le what made Horace Greeley such a stout temperance man. I said to him, "Mr. Greeley, why are you moreeloquent on the subject of temPeranee than any other subjeot?" He replied, "I have seen so many of my best friends in 'journalism go -down under intemperance." Oh, my dear brother of the newspaper profession, what you cannot do without artificial stimulus God does not want you to do! There is no half way ground for our lit - may people between teetotalism and dis- sipation. Your professional success, your domestic peace, your eternal salvation, will depend upon your theories in regard 10 axtiflcial stimulus. I havehad go many friends go down Under the temptation, their brilliancy quenched, their homes blasted, that I cry out this morning in the vvords of another. "Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth Its color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright, tor at the last it biteth like a serpent, aad it stingeth like an adder." Another trial of this profession is the fact no one seems to care for their souls. They feel bitterly about it, though they laugh. People sometimes laugh the loud- est when they feel the worst. They are expected to gather up religious proceed- ings and to discuss religious doctrines in the editorial columns, but who expects them to be saved by the sermons they stenograph or by the doctrines they dis- cuss in the editorial columns? The world looks upon them as professional. Who preaches to reporters and editors? Some of them came from religious homes, and when they left the parental roof, whoever regarded or disregarded, they came off with a father's benediction anda mother's ,Prayer. They never think of times good old times but tears come into their eyes,. and they move through these great cities homesick. Oh, if they only knew what a helpful thing it is for a man to put his weary head down on the bosom of a sym- pathetic Christ! He knows how nervous and tired you are. He has a heart largo enough to take in allyour interests for this world and the next. Oh, men of the newspaper press, you sometimes get sick of this world. it seems so hollow and tine fr PECIALTIES Ma We have just opened a full stock of different lines of Coreets, All Extra Coed Value.
