The Rev. Dr. Talmagens Sermon on the
Sin of Unfairness -it With What Mea-
sure You Mete It Shall Be Meastired to
You Again" Is His Text.
(copyright 1898, by tnan.)t, iecan Press Amoeba -
t
• Washington, Meech the spirit
of this sermon of Dr. Talmage wore cart
ried out, the World *ould be a better
place to live in, and the fallen would find
it easier to. recover themselves;) text,
Matthew vii, 2, "With What measure you
mete it shall be measured to you again."
In the greatest sermon trier preached -
a sermon about 15 minutes long accord-
ing to the ordinary rate of speech -a ser-
mon on the Mount of Olives, the preacher
sitting while he spoke, according te the
anoient mode of oratory, the people were
given to understand that the same, ard-
stick- that they employed upon o hers
would be employed upon themsOlves.
Measure others by a harsh rule, and you
will be meaSured by a harsh rule. Meas-
ure others by a charitable rule, and you
will be meaSured by a charitable rule.
Give no mercy to others, and no 'mercy
will be given to you. "With what times -
tare you mete it shall be measured to you
again."
There is a great deal of unfairness in
criticism in human conduct. It was to
smite that unfairness that Christ ;Uttered
the words of the text, and my sermon
will be a re-echo of the divine sentiment.
In estimating the misbehavior of others
we must take into consideration the pres-
sure of circumstances. It is never right
to do wrong, but there are degrees of
culpability. When num- misbehave or
commit some atrocious wickedness we
are dispoSed indiscriminately to tuinble
them all bver the bank of condemnation.
Suffer they ought, and suffer they must,
but in a difference of degree.
The Hereditary -Tendency. •
In the; first plae, in estimating the
niiidoing of others we must take into
calculation the hereditary tendency.
There is Such a tit/Jag as good blood, and
there is such a think as bad blood. There
are famillei that have had a moral twist
in them for a hundred years back. They
have not been careful to keep. the family
record In that regard. - There have been
escapades and maraudings and scoundrel -
isms and moral deficits all the way back,
whether you call it kleptomania or pyro-
mania or dipsomania or whether it be a
milder form and ainamt to no mania at
all. The strong pribability is that the
-present; Criminal started life with nerve,
muscle and bone contaminated. As some
start life with a natural tendency to
nobility and generosity and kindness and
truthfulness, there are others who start
life with just the -opposite tendency, ancj
they are born liars or born malcontents
or born outlaws or born swindlers.
There is in England a school that is
called the Princess Mary school. Alrtho
children in that school are the ohildren of
convicts. -Tbe school is under high patron-
age. I had the pleasure of being present
at one of their anniversaries, presided
over by the Earl of Kintore. By a wise
law in. England after parents have com-
mitted a certain number of crimes and
thereby shown themselves incompetent
-rightly •to bring up their children the
little ones are taken from under pernici-
• ous influences and put in reformatory
schools, where all gracious and kindly
influences shall be brought; upon them.
Of course the experiment is young,. ano
it has got to_be demonstrated how large
a percentage of the children of opnvicts
may be brought up to respectability and
usefulness. But We all know that it is
snore difficult for children of bad parent
ago to do right than for children of good -
parentage.
All Born Equal.
In this country we are taught by the
Declaration of American Independence
that all people are born equal. There
never was a greater misrepresentation
put in one sentence than in that sentence
which implies that we are all born equal.
You may as well say that flowers are
born equal - or trees are born equal or
animals are born equal. Why does one
horse cost $100 and another horse cost
$5,000? Why does one sheep cost $10 and
another sheer cost $5QQ? Difference' in
blood. We are wise enough to reeognize
it in horses, in cattle, in sheep, but we
are not wise enough to make allowance
for the difference in the human blood.
Now, -I demand by the law of eternal
fairness that you be more lenient in your
criticism of those who were born wrong,
in whose ancestral line there was a hang-
man's knot, or who came from a troe
the fruit of whfch for centuries has been
gnarled and worm eaten.
Dr. Harris, a reformer, gave some mar-
velous statistice in his story of a woman
he called "Margaret, the mother of orhai-
inals." Ninety years ago she lived in -Et
village in upper New York state. Sho
was not only poor' but she was vicious.
She was not . wellprovided for. There
were no almshouses there. The public,
however, somewhat looked after her, but
chiefly scoffed at her and. derided her and
pushed her further, down in her crime.
That was 90 years ago. There have been
623 persons in that ancestral -line, 200 of
them criminals. In one branch of that
family -there were 20, an4 nine of them
have been in state prison, and nearly all
of the others have turned out badly. It is
estimated that that family cost the count*
and state $100,000, to say nothing. of the
property they destroyed. Are you not
willing, as sensible, fair people, to
acknowledge that 16 18 a fearful disaster
to be born in such an ancestral line? Does
it not 'make a great difference whether
ono descends from Margaret, the mother
of criminals, or from pome mother in
Israel; whether you are; the son of Ahab
or the son of .Joshua?
Against the( Correia
It is a very different thing to swim
with the current.from what it is to swim
against the current, as some of you have
no doubt found in yeur summer reerea-
tion. If a man find himself in an ances •
tral currents where there is good blood
flowing smoothly from generation to
generation, it is nott-a very great credit to
him if he turn out good and honest and.
pure and noble. He could hardly help it.
But suppose he is born in an ancestral
line, in a hereditary line, where tile in-
fluences have been bad and there has
been a coming down o-yer a moral decliv-
ity,)if the man surrender to the influences
he will go down under the overmastering
gravitation unless some suPernatural aid
be a,fftvtled him. Now, quell a person de-
serve a net your excoriation, but your
- pity. Do not sit with the lip eutled in
scorn and with an assumed air of angelic
_ .
•
innocence looking down upon slush moral
precipitation. You had better get down
on your knees and: first pray,. Almighty
God for their rescue, and next thank the
Lord. that you have not been thrown
under the, -,wheels of that Juggernaut.. -
In Great Britain and in the United
States' in every generation there are tens
of thousands of persons who are fully

found out in their criminality, In addi-
tion to these there are tens of thousands
of persons who not positively becoining
criminals nevertheless have a criminal
tendert:O. Any one of all those thousands,
by tinqince of God, may become Chris-
tian and resist the ancestral influence
and open a new chapter of ,behavior, but
the vast majority of them will not, and
it becomes all men, professional, unpro-
fessional, ministers of religion, judges of
courts; philanthropists- and Christian
workers, to recognize the fact that there
are these Atlantic and Pacific surges of
heredity evil rolling on through the cen-
turies. I say, of course A man can resist
this tendency, just as in the ancestral line
mentioned in the first chapter of Mat-
thew. You see in the Immo line in which
there was a wicked Rehoboam and a des-
perate', Manasses there afterward came a
pious .gpslah and a glorious Christ. But,
my friends, you must recognize the fact
that these intluene,es goon from genera-
tion to generation. I am glad to know,
however, that a river which has produoed
nothink but miasma for a hundred miles
may after awhile turn •the wheels of
factoriei and help -support :industrious
and virtnous populations, and there are
family lines which were poisoned that,
are a benediction now. At,the last day it
will be found out that there are men who
have gone clear over into all the forms of
iniquity and plunged into utter abandon-
ment who before they yielded to the. first
temptation resisted more evil' than many
a man who has been tnoral and upright
all his life.
The Best Man 1Before God.
But supposing now that in this'age,
when there are so many good people, that
I come down into Vet; audience and se-
leot the very best man in it. I de not
mean the man who would style himself
the best; for probably he is a hypocrite,
but I mean the man who before God is
really the best. I will take you out from
all your ;Christian surroundings. I will
take you back to boyhood. I will put you
in a depraved home. I will put you -in a
cradle of iniquity. Who is bending over
that cradle? An intoxiCated mother. Who
is that swearing in the next room? Your
father. The neighbors come in to talk
and their jokes are unclean. Them is
not in the house a Bible or a moral trea-
tise, but only a few scraps of an old pic-
torial.' .s
After awhile you aro old enough to
get out of the cradle, and you are struck
across the head for naughtiness, but never
in any kindly Manner reprimanded. A ftar
awhile you are old ',enough to go abroad;
and you are sent out with a basket to
steal. If you come home without any
spoil, you are whipped until the blood
collies. .At 15 years of age yon go out to
fight your own battles in this world,
which seems to care no more for you
than the dog that has died ot afit tinder
the fence. You aro kicked and cuffed
and buffeted. Some day, rallying your
courage, you resent some wrong. A an
says: "Who are you?,_ I know who you
are. Your father had free lodgings at
Sing Sing. Your ,mother, she was up for
drunkenness at the criminal court. Get
out of niy way, you low lived wretch!"
My brother, suppose that had boon the
history of your advent and the history of
your earlier surroundings. Would you
have been the Christian man you aro to-
day, seated in this Christian assembly? I
tell you nay. You would have been a
vagabond, an outlaw, a murderer on the
scaffold atoning for your crime. All these
considerations ought to make us merciful
in our dealings with the wandering and
the lost.
Swayed by Circumstance's.
. Again, I have to remark that In one
estimation the misdoing of people who
have fallen from high respectability and
usefulness we mast take into considers-.
; tion the conjunction of circumstances.
In nine oases out of ten a man who goes
'astray (bee not intend any posiuive wrong.
He has trust funds. He risks a part of
these funds in investment. He says:
"Now, If I should lose that investment I
have of my own, property five Unica as
much, and if this investment should go°
wrong I could easily make it up. I could
five times make it up." With that wrong
reasoning he goes on and makes the In-
vestment: and it does not turn ant quite
as well as be expected, and he makes an-
other investment, and strange to say at
the same time all his other affairs get en-
tangled, and all his her resources 'Jail,
and his hands are tied. Now he wants to
extricatcnhimself. He goes a little further
on in the Wrong investment. He takes a
plunge ftirther ahead, for he wants to
seve his yelfe and children, he wants to
save his home, he wants to save his
membership in the church. He takes one
more plunge, and all is lost.
Some morning at 10 o'olook the bank
door is not opened, and there is a card on
the door signed by an officer of the bank,
indicating there is trouble, and the name
of the defaulter or the defrauder heads
the newspaper column, and hundreds of
men say,, c'I'm glad he's found out at
lasts" Hundreds nf other men say, "Just
as I told You." Hundreds of other men
say, "We scouldn't possibly have been
teinpted to do that -no conjunction of
circumstancescould ever have overthrown
me." And there is a superabundance of
indignationi.3' but no pity. The heavens
full of lightning, but not one drop of dew.
If_God treateid us as society treats that
-man, we would all have been in hell long
ago.
Temper Wrath With Mercy.
Wait for the alleviating circumstance.
Perhaps he may have been the dupe of
others. Before you let all the hounds out

haps some sudden sickness may have
touched his brain and his judgment may
be unbalanced. He is wrong, he is awfully
wrong and he must be condemned, but
there may be mitigating circumstances.
Perhaps under the same temptation you

Naignation you must about that man's

But, you say, "I am Sony that the
innocent should Suffer." 'Yes, I am toe—
sorry fee ea. Widows and orphans who
lost their all by that defalcation. I am
sorry for the venerable bank president to
whom the credit of that bank was a
matter of pride.- Yes I am sorry also for
that man who brougltt all the distress -
sorry that he sacrificed body, mind, soul,
reputation, heaven, and went into the
blackness 'of darkness forever.
You defiantly say, "I could not be
tempted in that way." Perhaps you may
be tested after awhile. God has a very
good memory, and he sometimes seems
to say: "This man feels so strong in his
innate power and goodness he shall be
tested. He is so full of bitter invective
against that unfortunate it shall bo
shown nolNyvhether he has the power to

of fortune turns several times, and you

A Glance Backward.

Paid at Last.
I
Let me see. Did you not say that you
could not be tempted to an ebullition of
temper? Some September you come home
from your summer watering place, and
you have inside away back in your liver
or spleen what • we call in our day
malaria, but what the old folks called
chills and fever. .You take quinine until
your ears are first buzzing beehives and
then roaring Niagaras. You take reots
and herbs; you take everything. Youlget
well. But the next day you feel uncism-
fortable, and you yawn, and you stretch,
and you ehiver, and you consume, and
you suffer. Vexed more than you can tell,
you 'cannot sleep, you cannot eat, '7ou
cannot bear to see anything that looks
happy. You go out to kick the cat that is
asleep in the tun. Your children's mirth
was once music to you. Now it is deafen-
ing. You says "Boys, stop that racket!"
You turn back from June to March. In
the family and'in the neighborhood yOur
popularity is 95 per cent. off. The werld
says: "What,is the matter with that die-
agreeable'man? What a woebegone cotin-
tonancel I can't bear the sight of him."
ou have got your pay at last -got
m
. You feel just as the an felt that
man for whom you had no mercy, and
my text comes in With marvelous appoe-
iteness "With what measure you mete it
shall be measured to you again."
In the study of society I have come' to
this conclusion -that the most of the
people want to be good, but they do not
exactly know how to make it out. They
make enough good resolutions to lift
them into angelhood. The vast major ty
of people who fall are the victims of
circumstances. They are captured by
ambuscade. If their temptations shonld
come out in a regiment and fight them
in a fair field, they would go ont in the
strength and the triumph of David
against Goliath. But they do not See the
giants, and they do not see the regiment.
Temptation comes and says, "Take these
bitters, take this nervine, take this aid

Remember the Process.
Do you know how that physician, that
lawyer that jonnnalist became the
victim.of dissipation? Why, the physician
was kept up nigot by night on profee-
sional duty: Life and death hovered in
the balance. His nervous system was
exhausted. There came a time Of
epidemic, and whole families :were pros -
treated, and his nervous etrength visas
gone. He was all Worn out in the servide
of the public. Now he must brace himself
up. Now he stimulates. Who life of this
mother, the life of this child, the life of
this father, the life of this whole family
must be saved and of all these families
must be saved, and he stimulates, and he
;does it again and again. You may
criticise his, judgment, hut remember tl;
process. It was not a selfish process b
whioh he Went down. It was magnificent
generosity through which he fell.
That attorney at the bar ter weeks has
,
been standing in a poorly ventilated,
r
courtroom, listening to the teetimony and,
'contesting in the dry technidalities of the
law, and now the time has come for him
to wind u, and he mint plead for tilt
Is all gone. If he falls iii•that speech, lis
client perishei. If he have eloquence
enough in that hour, his client Is saved.
Be eti ulates. '
That journalist has had exhausting
midnight work. He has had to report
speeches and orations that kept Iiim up
till a very late hour. He has gone with
much exposure working up some. case of
crime. in company ,with a detective. He
sits down at midnight to write out his
notes from a memorandum scrawled on a
pad under unfavorable circumstances.
His strength is gene. Fidelity to the
public intelligence, fidelity to his own
livelihood, demands that he keep up. Be
must keep up. He stimulates. Again
and again he does that, and he goes
down. You may criticise his judgment
• in the matter, but have meleass
Rernember the process. Do not be hard.
Scold Less and Pray 3Iore.
My friends, this text will come t�
fulfillment in some cases in this world.
Tho huntsman in Farinsteen was shot by
some 111) kb() NV n person. Twenty years
after the son of the huntsman was in the
same forest. and he aceidOntally shot a
man, and the man in dying said: "God
is just. I shot your father just here 20
years ago."-
A bishop said to Louis XII of France,
"Make an iron cage fan all tlose who do
not think as we do.1--an 11"on cage in
. life of his client ani his nervous spite

nor stand straight up." It was fashioned
-the awful instrument of punishment.
After awhile the bishop offended Louis
XI., and for 14 years he was. inthat
same cage and could neither lie down
nor stand up. It is a poor rule that will
not work both ways. "With what Lu
measure ye niete it.shall- be measured to
you again."
Oh, my friends, let us be resolved to
scold less and pray morel
What headway will W6 make in the
judgment if in this world we have been
hard on those wile have gone astray?
What headway will you and I make in
the last great judgment, when we must
have mercy or perish? The Bible says,
"They shall have judgment without
mercy that showed no mercy." 1
I sees the scribes of heaven looking up
into • the face of such a in -an, saying:
"What! You plead for mercy, you whom
in all your life never had any mercy on
your fellows! Don't you remember how
hard you were in your opinions of those
who were.astray? Don't you remember
when you Ought to have given a helping
hand you employed a hard heel? MeTtcy!
You must "Misspeak yourself when you
plead for mercy here. Mercy for others,
but no mercy for you. Look," say the
scribes of heaven, "look at that inscrip-
tion over the throne of judgment, the
throne of God's judgment." See it
coming out letter by letter, word by
word; sentence, by sentence, until your
startled vision reads it and your remorse-
ful spirit appropriates, it: "With what
measure ye mete it shall be measured to
you again.. Depart, ye cursed!"

Eating His Words.
"A great book is a great evil," is an
ancient axiom which an '-unfortunate
Russian author felt to his cost.
18—Bieyele Season
a
"While I was in Moscow," writes os
traveler, "a volume was published in
favor of the liberty of the people; in this
•book, the iniquitous conduct of the public
functionaries and even of the sovereign
were censured severely. The book created'
great indignation, and the offender was
at once taken into custody. After being
tried in a -summary way, he ..was con-
demned teat his own words. A scaffold
i,
was erect d in a public square, the im-
perial pro ost, the magistrates and the
physiciane of the Czar attending; the
book was separated from the binding
and the margin cut off. The author was
then served leaf ,by leaf by the provost
and was obliged to swallow this unpala-
table stuff on pain of the knout,. more
feared in Russia than death. As soon as
the medical gentlemen were of the opin-
ion that he had eaten as much as he
could with safety, the transgressor was
returned to prison. This punishment was
renewed the following days until, after
several hearty -meals, every leaf of the
book was actually swal.lowed."
Danger in Tin Cans.
Open a can of peaches, apricots, eher-
ries or other fruit -for all fruit is acidul-
ous -let it stand for some time, and the
fruit acids and the tin are ready to do
their work of poisoning. A chemical
-
knowledge that tells just how the dan-
gerous compound is created is unnecessary
to an avoidance of the peril. The rule to
follow is never to 'make lemonade or
other acidulated drinks in a tin bucket,
nor al/ow them to stand .in a vessel of
tin; and in case of canned fruits or fish,
immediately upon opening tho can, turn
the contents out upon an earthenware
plate; or into a dish that is made of earth-
enware or glass.
Fruits in hermetically sealed cans'if
properly prepared, generate no poison. As
soon as opened the action of the acid in
the tin, with the aid of the atmosphere,
begins, and in a short time the result is
a deadly poison. This reef treatment of
the question should be remenabered by
every ono, and its instructions followed.

Matrinaohial Exports.
In the early, days of Virginia when the
adventurers were mostly unmarried men,
it was deemed necessary to export such
women as could be prevailed upon to
leave England as wives for the planters.
A letter accompanying one of the matri-
monial ships, dated London, August 12,
1621 says:
"We send you in the ship, one widow
and eleven maids, as wives for the peo-
ple of Virginia; there bath been especial
care taken in the choice of them for
there hath not one of them been received
but upon good reconnnendations. There
are fifty inore that are ready to go. For
the reimbursing of charges, it is ordered
that every man that marries them give
one hundred pounds of the best leaf to-
bacco for each of them."
Potato Scab.
IU nearly all potato sections the scab
was especially bad the past season, in
some places causing the ruin of the entire
crop.' This disease Is confined almost
entirely, in its worst forms, to soils in
which lime or ashes have been used ex-
tensively, or where there is considerable
decayed vegetable matter in the soil. Ex-
pert growers now find that the best way
to combat the disease is to treat the po-
tato befomplanting. The cut seed potato
is placed for a moment in hot water or
• a bath of diluted corrclsive sublimate. In
the potato sections of New Jersey, where
• the crop the past snputier was large and
the tubers fine, thefie methods have be p

-The Pall Mail Gazette, of London Eng-
land, says Mr. Gladstone's general condition
is appreciably worse. It adds : "It was
his own wish to be moved 'to Hawarden
with as little delay as possible. Whatever
the precise nature of the facial pains, neur-
algia, or the presence of some unkealthy
growth, there can be no doubt that though
intermittent they have occasioned severe
suffering, and it necessarily follaws that his
physical powers and heart's action have be-
come gravely enfeebled."
