Art tiullcrloH and iittrchcM. PKKKSKILL, N\ Y., July CU.—Chaplaiu T. De Witt Talmngo preached tMav to tho Thirteenth reginnmt of tho New York stuto national guards, now onoamjod hero. Tho regiment assembled at 3 p. m., when pcoplo from the neighboring country, towns and cities were present in immense numbers. A military band conducted the musical part of tho service. Chaplain Talmnge's sermon, which was on ''Uses of Stratagem,was based on J*h. viii, 7: "Then ye shall rise up from the ambush, and seize upon the city." Ho said:

Men of the Thirteenth regiment, and their friends here gathered, of nil occupations and professions, men of the city and men of tho fields, hero is a theme lit for all of us.

Ono Sabbath evening, with my family around me, wo were talking over the sceno of the text. In the wide open eves and tho quick interrogations and the blanrhod cheeks, I realized what a thrilling drama it was. There is tho old city, shorter bv mune than any other city in tho ages, spelled with two letters—A, I--Ai. Joshua and his men want to tako it. How to do this is the question. On a former occasion, in a straightforward, face to face tight, they had lm«en defeatod but now they aro going to take it by ambuscade, General Joshua has two divisions in his army —tho one division tho battle worn commander will lead himself, tho other division he semis off to encamp in an ambush on tho west side of the city of Ai. No torches.no lanterns, no sound of heavy battalions, but 30,000 swarthy warriors moving in silence, shaking only in a whisj»er no clicking of swords against shields, lest tho watchmen of Ai discover it and the stratagem bo a failure. If a roystering soldier in the Isrnelitish army forgets him self, all along the lino the word is "Hush Joshua takes tho other division, the one with which he i* to march, and puts it on tho north side of the city of Ai, and then sjHMids the night in reconnoitring in the volley. There ho is, thinking over the fortunes of the coming day with something of the feelings of

Wellington the night before Waterloo, or of Meade and IJW the night before Gettysburg. There lie stands in the nightand says to himself: "Yonder is the division in ambush on the west side of Ai. Hero is the division I have under my especial command on the north side of Ai. There is the old city slumbering in its sin. To-morrow will be the battle, hook! the morning already begins to tip the hills. The military officers of Ai look out in tho morning very early, and while they do not see the division in ambush they behold the other division of Joshua, and the cry, ".o arms! To arms!'' rings through all the stivcts oft he old town, and every sword, whether hacked ami bent or newl welded, is brought out. and all the inhabitants of the city of Ai pour through the gates, an infuriated torrent, and their cry is: "Come, we'll make quick work with Joshua and his troops." No sooner had these jn oplo of Ai come out against the troops of Joshua than Joshua gave such a command as he seldom gave, "Fall back!" Why, the could not believe their own ears. Is Joshua's courage failing him?

Tho retreat is beaten and tho Israelites aro flying, throwing blankets and canteens on every side under this worso than Hull Run defeat. Aud you ought to hoar the soldiers of Ai cheer, and cheer, and choer. Hut thoy huzzah too soon. Tho men, lying in ambush, are straining tl.oir vision to get some signal from Joshua that the}* may know what tiino to drop upon tho city. Joshua takes his burnished spear, glistening in tho sun like a shaft of doom, and points it toward the city and when tho men up yonder in tho ambush see it, with hawk liko swoop they drop upon Ai, and without stroke of sword or stab of spear take the city and put it to the torch. So much for tho division that was in ambush. How about tho division under Joshua's command? No sooner does Joshua stop in tho flight than all his men stop with him, and as ho wheels thoy wheel, for in a voico of thunder ho cried "HaltP One strong arm driving back a torrent of flying troops. And then, as he points bis spear through tho golden light toward that fated city, his troops know that they are to start for it. What a sceno it was when tho division in ambush which had taken the city marched down against, tho men of Ai on the ono side, and tho troops under Joshua doubled up their enexnies from tho other side, and the men of Ai wero caught between these two hurricanes of

Lesson th? first: There is such a tiling as victorious retreat. Joshua's falling back was the first chapter in his successful besiegement. And thcro are times in your life when the best thing you can do is to run. You wero once the victim of strong drink. Tho dumijohn and the decanter wero your fierce foes. They came down upon you with greater fury then tho men of Ai upon tho men of Joshua. Your only safety is feo get away from them. Your dissipating companions will como around you for your overthrow. Run for your lifel Fall bocfel Kail back from the drinking saloon. Fall back from tho wine party. Your flight la your advance. Your retreat is your victory. There is a saloon down on the next street that lias almost been the ruin of your Then why do you go along that street! {lo you not pass through ooine other

There arc people who have been well nigh ruined because they risked a foolhardy expedition in the presence of mighty and overwhelming temptations, and the me:i of Ai made a morning meal of them, &>:Uotluro is such a tiling as victorious retreat in tho iv llgious world. Thousands of tirnuj he kingdom of Cliriit has seemed to fall Iv.e'. Whuu the blood of the Scotch covenantee gave a deeper dye to the heather of the highlands whoa the Vaudois of Franco chose cr.U*r:ninatun rather than make au unchristian surrender wiieu on St. Bartholomew's day mounted assassins rode through the street* of Paris crying: "Kill! lJlood letting is good iu August! Kill! Death to tho liuguenotsl ICilir when Lady Jane Grey's head rolled from tho executioner's block, when Calvin was imprisoned in tho castle, when John

Knox died for tho truth when John Bunyau lay rotting in Bedford jail, saying: "If God will help me, ami inv physical life continues, I will stay hero until tho moss grows on my eyebrows rather than give up my faith," tho days of retreat for tho church were (lays of victory.

The Pilgrim Fathers fell back from the other side of the s«'u to Plymouth Rock, but now aro marshaling a continent for the Christiunizatiou of the world. Thr Church of Christ, falling back from Pied nont, falling back from HUG St. Jacques, falling back from St Denis, falling Kick from Wurtora- gcimetar tlun burg castle*, falling back from the Brussels market place, yet all the time triumphing. Notwithstanding all th»« shocking reverses I which th'M'hureh of Christ sullen?, what do wo see today.' Three thousand missionaries of the cross on heathen ground sixty thousand ministers of Jesus Christ in this land at least two hundred millions of Christians on earth. All nation* toduv kindling in a blaze of revival. Falling back, yet advancing until the old Wesleyan hymn will prove true:

Thu IJon of Jiidah shall break the clmlu, Aad give us tho victory again and again! But there is a more marked illustration of victorious treat in tho lifo of our Joshua, tho Jesus of tho ages. First falling back from an appalling height to an appalling depth, falling from celestial hills to terrestrial valleys, from throne to manger yet that did not seem to suffice him as a retreat. Falling Iwu-k still further from Bethlehem to Nazareth, from Nazareth to Jerusalem, hack from Jerusalem to Golgotha, back from Golgotha to the mausoleum in tho rock, back down over tbe precipices of jerdition until ho walked amid the caverns of tho eternal captives mid drank of tho wine of the wrath of Almighty God amid the Ahnbsandthe Jezebels and the Belshazzars. O men of tho pulpit and men of the pew, Christ's descent from heaven to earth does not measure half the dixtance. It was from glory to perdition. Ho descended int hell. All the records of earthly retreat areas nothing compared with this falling. Santa Anna, with the fragments of his army flying over the plateaux of Mexico, and Napoleon and his army retreating from Moscow in the awful snows of Russia aro not worthy to be mentioned with this retreat, when all the powers of darkness seem to bo pursuing Christ as ho fell back, until the Ixxlv of him who came to do such wonderful things lay pulseless aud stripped. Methinks that the city «f Ai was not so emptied of its inhabitants when they wont to pursue Joshua as perdition was emptied of devils when thoy started for the pursuit, of Christ, and he fell back artd back, down lower, down lower, chasm below chasm, pit below pit, until he soetued to strike tho Ixittom of objurgation and scorn and torture. Oh! the long, loud, jubilant shout of hell at tho defeat of the

lxrd

God Almighty!

Btrcct

I But. let not the powers of darkness rejoice quite so soon. Do you hear that disturbance in the tomb of Arimathea? 1 hear the sheet rending! What means that stone hurled down the side of the hill? Who is this coming out? Push him back! tho dead must not stalk in this open sunlight. Oh, it is our

Joshua. Lot him come out. He comes forth and starts for the city. He takes tho sjeAr of the Roman guard and points that way. Church militant marches up on one side and tho church triumphant marches down on the other side. And the jx»wers of darkness being caught between these ranks of celestial and terrestrial valor, nothing is left of them save just enough to illustrate tho direful overthrow of hell and our Joshua's eteri.al victory. On bis head bo all the crowns. In his hand lx» all tho scepters. At his feet be all tho human hearts and here, I^ord, is ono of them.

Lesson tho second: The triumph of the wicked is short Did you ever seo an army

Israelitish courage, thrust before and behind, stabbed in breast and back, ground between tho up|er and the nether millstones of God's indignation. Woe to the city of Ai! Cheer for tho triumph of Israeli

in a panicf There is nothing so uncontrollable. If you had stood at Long Bridge, Washington, during the opening of our sad civil war, you would know what it is to seo cut army run. And when those men of Ai I looked out and suw those men of Joshua in a stampede, they expected easy work. They would scatter thorn as the equinox tho leaves. O, tho gleeful and jubilant deI scent of tho men of Ai upon the men of Joshua! But their exhilaration was brief, for the tide of battle turned, I and these quondam conquerors left their miserable carcasses in tho wilderness of

Bethaven. So it always is. Tho triumph of tho wicked is short You make $20,000 at tho gamingtable. Do you expect to keep it? You will die in tho poorbouso. You made fortune by iniquitous traffic. Do you expect to keep it? Your mouev will scatter, or it will stay long enough to curse your children after you aro dead. Call over tho roll of bad men who I prospered and seo how short was their prosperity. For a while like the meu of Ai they went from conquest to conquest, but after a while disaster rolled back upon them and they wore divided into tlireo parts: inisfortuno took their property, the gravo took their body, and tho lost world took their souL 1 am always interested in the building of theatres and tho building of dissipating saloons.

God is going to conqucr them, and they will bo turnod Into asylums, and art galleries, and churches.

II and Robespierre, and wiia .ug and blaspheming aud ashen hps buyout: "The1 triumph of the wicked is short!" Alas for tho men of Ai vheu Joshua stretches out his fcpoar toward the city.

Lesson tho third: llow much may be aceomplished by lying iu ambush for opportunities. Are you hypercritical of Joshua's maneuver/ Do you say that it was cheatiiig for hiin to tako that city by ambuscade? Was it wrong for Washington to kindle camp flres on New Jersey Heights, giving the impression to tho opposing force that a great army was encamped there when thero was none at all 1 1 answer, if the war was right, then Joshua was right his stratagem. He violated no flag of truce. He broke no treaty, but by a lawful ambuscade captured the city of Ai. Oh, that wo all knew how to lie in ambush for opportunities to servo Gol Tho best of our opportunities do not lie on tho surface, but are secreted by tact, by stratagem by Christian ambuscade, you may tako almost *ny castle of sin for Christ Come up toward men with a regular besiegeinent of argument, and you will be defeated but just wait until tho.Uxr of their hearts is sot ajar, or they r.re of" their guard, or their severe caution is «w: from home, and tnen drop in on them from a Christian ambuscade. Thero has leen many a man up to his chin in scienI tiflc portfolios which proved there was no

Christ and no divine revelation, his pen a into the heart theological opj)onents, who. nevertheless, has been discomfited and captured for God by som»» little three-year-old cuild, who has got up and put her sno vy arms around his sinewy neck and asked some simple question about God and heaven.

Oh, make a flank movement steal a march I on the devil cheat that man into heaven. A flve dollar treatise that will stand all the laws of homiletics may fail to do that which a |M3nny tract of Christian cutivatv mav accomplish. Oh, for more Christians in ambuscade, not lyins in idlomss, but waiting for a quick spring, waiting until just the right time comes. l)o not filk to a man al»out tho vanity of this world on tho day when he has thought something at "twelve" and is going to sell it at "llli«4en.' But talk to him about the vamtv of the world on the day when he has nougat something at "fifteen" and is compiled to sell at "twelve." Do not rub a man's disposition tho wrong way. Do not tike the imperativo mood when the subjunctive mood will do just as well. Do not talk in |orfervid style to a phlegmatic, nor try to tickle a torrid temperament with an icicle. You can take I any man for Christ if you know how to get at him. l)o not send word to him that to morrow at 10 o'clock you propose to oj»en your batteries ujou him, but come on him by a skillful, jvrsevenng, God directed ambuscade.

Lesson the fourth: The imjuirtaneo of taking good aim. There is Joshua, but how are those people in ambush up yonder to know when they are to drop upon the city, and how are these men around Joshua to know when they are to stop their flight and advancef There must be some signal—a signal to stop the one division and to start the other. Joshua, with a spear on which were ordinarily hung the colors of battle, points toward the city. He stands in such aeonspicuous position, and thero is so much of the morning light dripping from that speart.jp, that all around the horizon they see it. It was as much as to say: "There is the cit v. Take it. Take it now. Roll down from tho west. Surge up from tho north. It is ours, tho city of Ai." God knows and wo know tnat a great deal of Christian attack amounts to nothing I simply because we do not take good aim. Nobody knows and we do not know ourselves which point we want to lake, when we ought to make up our minds what God will have us to do, and ]»oint our sjwar in that direction ami then hurl our body, mind, soul, time, eternity at that one target. In our pulpits and peusand Sunday schools and prayer meetings we want to get a reputation for saying pretty things, and so we point our spear toward the flowers or we want a reputation for saying sublime things, and we jxint our spear toward the stars or we want to get a reputation for historical knowledge, and wo point our spear toward tho past or we want to get a reputation for great liberality, so we swing our spear all around and it strikes all ]K)ints of the horizon, and you can make out of it whatever you please while there is the old world, proud, rebellious ami armed against all righteousness and instead of running any further away from ite pursuit, wo ought to turn around, plant our foot in the strength cf tho eternal God, and lift tho old cross and point it in tho direction of the world's conquest till tho redeemed of earth, marching up from one side and the glorified of heaven marching down from tho other side, the last battlement of sin is compelled to swing out tho streamers of Emanuel. Oh, church of God, take aim and conquer.

I have heard it said: "Lookout for a man who has only ono idea he is irresistible." I say: Look out for tho man who has ono idea, and that a determination for soul saving. I believe God would strike mo dead if I dared to point tho spear in any other direction. Oh, for somo of the courage and enthusiasm of Joshua! He flung two armies from the tip of that siear. It is sinful for us to rest, uuless it is to get stronger musclo and fresher brain and purer heart for God'rf work. I feel, on my head the hands of Christ in a new ordination. Do you not feel the same omnipotent pressure? Thero is a work for all of us. Oh, that wo might stand up side by sido and point tho spear toward tho city! It ought to betaken. It will bo taken. Our cities are drifting ofT toward loose religion or what is called "liberal Christianity," which is so liberal that it gives up all the cardinal doctriuGS of tho Bible, so liberal that it surrenders the roctitudo of tho throne of the

Almighty. That is liberCilitv with a vengeance. Lot us decide upon tho work which we, as Chri -*ia'.r men, havo to do, and, in the strength .: v.'od, go to work and do it

SICK HEADACHE

AND

First. THE DAILY NEWS Is a daily paper for busy people.

Of all mankind the people of Chicago and the busy northwest arc the busiest. And yet perhap* no equal number of people arc to be found who appreciate so keenly the necessity of an intelligent knowledge of the world's daily doings. They recognize that they, more than anyone else, are the world's providers in many of the most itnjortant necesarics of life. How important, then, that they should have their daily intelligence of every event, the world over, which by any possibility can affect their diversified commercial holdings. And in all the higher interests of life where can be found a like number of people more keenly appreciative of all that contributes to progress in art, literature, cience, religion, politics ami the thousand and one things which make up modem civilization.

And yet, strange to say, right hero in this great, busy northwest, in its busy metrojjolis Chicago, th:e has taken place' the ovation and development ot' that most cumbrous, unserviceable, time-destroying thing, the blanket-shot t" newspaper. With the blindness of very fatuity thi^ monstrosity of journalism, this 1 reeder of mental dyspepsin/ha- steadfastly imposed its mountain of unthreshed straw to the demand of the jxrople for the winr.owi grain of fact. It was out of the very inenngriuniMios of such a ondi:ion of things that THI^IUIJ.Y NI:\VS had its birth. People wanted the Is'ews,—all the news—but they demanded il apart from the over powering mass of the trivial and inconsequential. It is be au\e THE DAILY NR.ws satisfactorily .ine,cts. that .demand that, ^.circulation is over a-niillion a-week/'^^.:. K. M. LAWRENCE, Willinmsville, 111., says: "The

too much for me. Not that a person is obliged to read everything printed in the blanket-sheets,' but one having nnything else to do doesn't have time to hunt through the long drawn twaddle for a few grains of digestible food.'1

Which, more than anything elsi:, have contrilnitcd to the phenomenal growth of The Chicago. Daily News, giving it a circulation 'larger than that of all other Chicago dailies combined. It seems strange that the first practical, combined application of two such common sense principles in journalism should have been left t'" a paper as yet only twelve years old.

Second. THE DAILY NEWS Is an Independent, truth-telling newspaper.

The reader can count on one hand the known newspapers whose statements in matters of politics can always be accepted as at least intentionally truthful, and commonly so in fact. On the other hand, it is the all-but-universal rule to praise one's patty and candidate to the skies, and to cry down the opposition party and its candidate to the verge of the disreputable. So common have such silly and reprehensible methods in journalism bccome that they pass unnoticed, and are accepted as a matter of course—as a:i evil inseparable from practical politics. Hut this is only another mistake of the thoughtless. The American people are intelligent enough, thoughtful enough, fair enough to appreciate and endorse honest, truth-telling journalism—in truth to picfcrit tothc misleading,the truth-discoloring dishonesty of the organ/'

The demand is more and more for the fair, impartial, independent newspaper which ^ive the reader till the tie:and gives il absolutely free from the taint of partisan bias. This done, an expression of opinion, Imsaf upon fuis. will commend itself to the thoughtful reader even when he may not find himself in agteein-.nt 'with the conclusion-, deduced from the premises. Disagreements arc of small moment if only confidence in honesty of purpose remains. With no meie political, ambition to gratify, no Max to grind.the impartial and independent newspaper may truly be

guide, philosopher and friend t«* honest 'men holding even* shade of political faith. And tin- is whv 'II:K DAII NEWS has to-day a circulation of over a-miliion *etk.M M. Wyr.ANT, Sibley, Iowa, writes: "I am well pleased with

TIIE DAU.Y NEWS, although I am a

bred-in-the-Utne He-

publican with a carpet f,:g experience in the South ending in 1872. The extreme fairness of THE DAILY NEWS, giving credit where due regardless of party, meets my approval.*'
