DR. TALMAGli'S SERMON'.
'A LIVING DOG IS BETTER THAN A DEAD LION."
Tlie 3tan of Small Gifts Wlio Uses Wl«at He lliui Is Worlli More Than He of Great Talent Wlio Allows ills Ability to Lie
Dormant.
BROOKLYN, March SO.—There was the usual difficulty in Kitting seats, or even standing room, in the Academy of Music this morning when the service commenced, the ordinary Tabernacle congregation being increased by throngs of persons eager to listen to the eloquent preacher. The service opened with the singing of the Long Metre doxology by the immense audience. Dr. Talinage's subject was, "A Dead Lion," and his text, Eccles. ix, 4: "A living dog is better than a dead lion." Following is a verbatim report of the sermon:
The Bible is the strangest, the loveliest, the mightiest, the weirdest, the best of books. Written by Moses the lawyer, Joshua the soldier, Samuel the judge, Ezra the builder, Job the poet, David the shepherd, Daniel the prime minister, Amos the herdsman, Matthew the custom house officer, Luke the doctor, Paul the scholar, John the exile and yet a complete harmony from the middle verse of the Bible, which is the eighth verse of the one hundredth and seventeenth Psalm, both ways to the upper and lower lids, and from the shortest passage, which is the thirty-fifth verse of the eleventh chapter of John, to the longest verse, which is the ninth verse of the eighth chapter of Esther, and yet not an imperfection in all the 773,093 words which it is composed of. It not only reaches over the past, but over the future has in it a ferryboat, as in second Samuel and a telegraph wire, as in Job and a railroad train, as in Nahum and introduces us to a foundryman by the name of Tubal Cain, and a shipbuilder by the name of Noah, and an architect by the name of Aholiab, and tells us how many stables Solomon had to take care of his horses, and how much he paid for those horses. But few things in this versatile and comprehensive book interest me so much as its apo thegms, those short, terse, sententious, epigrammatic sayings, of which my text is one— "A living dog is better tiian a dead lion."
THE DOGS AND LIONS OF THE BIBLE. Here the lion 6tands for nobility, and the dog for meanness. "You must know that the dpg mentioned in the text is not one of our American or European or Scottish dogs that, in our mind, is a synonym for the beautiful, the graceful, the affectionate, the sagacious, and the true. The St. Bernard dog is a hero, and if you doubt it, ask the snows of the Alps, out of which he picked the exhausted traveler. The shepherd dog is a poem, and if you doubt it, ask the highlands of Scotland. The Arctic dog is the rescue of explorers, and if you doubt it, ask Dr. Kane's expedition. The watch dog is a living protection, and if you doubt it, ask ten thousand homesteads over whose safety he watched last night. But Solomon, the author of my text, lived in Jerusalem, and the dog he speaks of in the text was a dog in Jerusalem. Last December I passed days and nights within a stone's throw of where Solomon wrote this text, and from what I saw of the canines of Jerusalem by day, and heard of them by night, I can understand the slight appreciation my text puts upon the dog of Palestine. It is loan and snarly and disgusting, and afflicted with parasites, and takes revenge on the human race by filling the nights with clamor. All up and down the
Bible, the most of which was written in PaleS' tine or Syria, or contiguous lands, the dog is used iu contemptuous comparison. Hazael said: "Is thy servant a dog that lie should do this thing?" In self abnegation the SyroPhcenician woman said: "Even the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from the master's table." Paul says, in Philippians: "Beware of dogs and St. John, speaking of heaven, says: "Without are dogs."
On the other hand the lion is healthy, strong, and loud voiced, and at its roar the forests echo and the mouutains tremble. It is marvelous for strength, and when its hide is removed the muscular compactness is something wonderful, and the knife of the dissector bounds back from the tendons. By the clearing off. of the forests of Palestine and the use of firearms, of which the lion is particularly afraid, they have disappeared from places where once they ranged, but they were very bold in olden times. They attacked an army of Xerxes while marching through Macedonia. They were so numerous that one thonsand lions were slain in forty years in the amphitheatre of Rome. The Barbary lion, the Cape lion, tiie Senegal lion, the Assyrian lion, make up a most absorbing and exciting chapter in natural history. As most of the Bible was written in regions lion haunted, this creature appears in almost all parts of the Bible as a simile. David understood its habits of night prowling and day slumbering, as is seen from his description:
The young lions roar after their prey and seek their meat from God. The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens." And again he cries out, "My soul is among lions." Moses knew them aud said, "Judah is couched like a lion." Samson knew them, for he took honey from the carcass of a slain lion. Solomon knew them and says, "The king's wrath is as the roar of a lion and again, "The slothful man says, There is a lion in the way." Isaiah knew them, aud says, in the millennium, "The lion shall eat straw like an ox." Ezekiel knew them, and says, "The third was as the face of a lion." Paul knew them and says: "I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion." Peter knew them and says, "The devil a3 a roaring lion walketh about." St. John knew them, and says of Christ, "Behold the Lion of the tribe of Judah!"
THE MEANING OF THE TEXT
Now, what does my text mean when it puts a lining dog aud a dead lion side by side, and says the former is better than the latter? It means that small faculties actively used are of more value than great faculties unemployed. How often you see it Some man with limited capacity vastly useful. He takes that which God has given him and says: "My mental endowment is not large and the world would not rate me high for my intelligence, and my vocabulary is limited, and my education was defective, but here goes what I have for God aud salvation, and the making of the world good and happy." He puts in a word here and a word there, encourages a faint hearted man, gives a Scripture passage in consolation to some bereft woman, picks up a child fallen in the street and helps him brush off the dust and puts a five-cent piece in his hand, telling him not to cry, so that the boy is singing before ho gets round the corner waiting on everybody that has a letter to carry or a message to deliver comes into a rail train, or stage coach, or depot, or 6hop, with a smiling face that 60ts everybody to thinking, "If that man can, with what appears small equipment in life, be happy, why cannot I, possessiug far more than he has, be equally happy?" One day of that kind of doing things may not amount to much, but forty years of that—no one but God himself can appreciate its immensity.
There ars tens of thousands of such people. Their circle of acquaintance is small. The man is known over at the store. Ho is clerk
or weigtier or uruyiimti, and he is known among those who sit near him clear back in the church under the galleries, and at the ferry gates where ho comes in knocking the snow from his shoes, and threshing his anus around his body to revive circulation, on some January morning. But if he should die to-morrow there would not be a hundred people who would know, about it. He will never have his name iu the newspapers but once, and that will be the anncvncomeiit of his death, if some ono will pay for tho insertion, so much a line for the two linos. But he will come up gloriously on the other side, and thu God who has watched him all through will give him a higher seat and a better mansion and a grander eternity than many a man who had on earth, before his nume, the word honorable, and after his name LL. I), and P. R. 8. Christ said in Luke, the sixth chapter, that in heaven some who had it hard here would laugh there. And I think a laugh of delight and congratulation will run around the heavenly circles when this humble ono of whom I spoke shall go up and take the precedence of many Christians who iu this world felt themselves to be of ninety-nine per cent, more importance. The whisper will go rouud tho galleries of the upper temple: "Can it be possible that that was tho weigher in our store?" "Can it be possible that that was the car driver on our street?" "Can it bo possible that was the sexton of our church?" "Can it be possible that is the in«^i that heaved coal into our cellar!" "I never could have thought it. What a reversal of things!
We were clear ahead of him on earth, but he is clear ahead of us in heaven. Why, we had ten times more brains than he had, we had a thousand times more money than he had, we had social position a mile higher than he had, we had innumerable opportunities more than he had, but it seems now that he accomplished more with his one talent than we did with our tenwhile Solomon, standing among the thrones, overhears tho whisper, and sees the wonderment, and will, with benignant and all suggestive smile, say, "Yes, it is as I told the world many centuries ago—better is small faculty actively used than great talent unemployed, 'better is a living dog than a dead lion.'"
THERE ABE PLENTY OF DEAD LIONS. The simple fact is that tho world has been, and the world is now, full of dead lions. They are people of great capacity and large opportunity, doing nothing for the improvement of society, nothing for the overthrow of evil, nothing for the salvation of souls. Some of them are monetary lions. They have accumulated so many hundreds of thousands of dollars that you can feel their tread wher. they walk through any street or come into any circle. They can by one financial move upset tho money market. Instead of the ten per cent, of their income which the Bible lays down as tho proper proportion of their contribution to the cause of God, they do not give five per cent., or three per cent., or two per cent., or one per cent., or a half per cent., or a quarter per cent. That they are lions, no one doubts. When they roar, Wall street, State street, Lombard street and the Bourse tremble. In a few years they will lie down and die. They will have a great funeral, and a long row of fine carriages, and mightiest requiems will roll from the organ, and polished shaft of Aberdeen granite will indicate where their dust lies, but for all use to tho world that man might as well have never lived. As an experiment as to how much ho can carry with him, put a ten cent piece in the palm of his dead hand, aud five years after open the tomb and you will find that he has dropped even the ten cent piece. A lion! Yes, but a dead lion! He left all his treasures on earth, and has no treasures in heaven. What shall the stonecutter put upon tho obelisk over him? I suggest, let it be the man's name, then the date of his birth, then the date of his death,-then the appropriate Scripture passage, "Better is a living dog than a dead lion."
But I thank God that we are having just now an outburst of splendid beneficence that is to increase until the earth is girdled with it. It is spreading with the speed of an epidemic, but with just the opposite oiTect of an epidemic. Do jou not notice how wealthy men are opening free libraries, and building churches in their uative village? Have you not seen how men of large means, instead of leaving great philanthropies in their wills for disappointed heirs to quarrel about, and tho orphan courts to swamp, are besoming their own executors aud administrators? After putting aside enough for thoir families (for "he that provideth not for his own, and especially those of his own household, is worse than an infidel"), they are saying: "What can I do, not after 1 am dead, but while living, and in full possession of my faculties, to properly direct the building of the churches, or tho hospitals, or the colleges, or the libraries that I design for the public welfare, and while yet I have full capacity to enjoy tho satisfaction of seeing the good accomplished? There are bad fashions and good fashions, and, whether good or bad, fashions are mighty. One of the good fashions now starting will sweep the earth—the fashion for wealthy men to distribute, while yet alive, their surplus accumulation. It is being helped by the fact that so many large estates have, immediately after the testator's daath, gone into litigation. Attorneys with large fees are employed on both sides, and the case goes on mouth after month, and year after year, and after one court decides, it ascends to another court and is decided iu tho opposite direction, and then new evidence is found, and the trials are all repeated. The children, who at the father's funeral seemed to have an uncontrollable grief, after tho will is read go into elaborate process to prove that the father was crazy, and therefore incompetent to make a will and there are men on the jury who think that the fact that the testator gave so much of his money to the Bible society, and the missionary society, or the opening of a free library, is proof positive that he was insane, and that he knevr'iiot what he was signing when he subscribed to the words: "In the name of
God, amen. I, being of sound mind, do make this my last will and testament." NOW IS THE TIME FOB GOOD WORK.
The torn wills,, the fraudulent wills, the broken wills have recently been made such a spectacle to angels and to. men that all over the land successful men are filing in architects and saying to them: "Ho7 much would it
C06t
for me to build a picture h^llery for our town?" or, "What plans can you "draw me out for a concert hall!" or, "I am specially interested in 'the incurables,' and how large a building would accommodate three hundred of such patients?" or, "The Church of God has been a great help to me all my life, and I want you to draw me a plan for a church, commodious, beautiful, well ventilated, and with plenty of windows to let iu the light I want you to get right at work iu making out plans of such a building, for, though I am well now, life is uncertain, and before I leave the world I want to see something done that will bean appropriate acknowledgment of the goodness of God to me and mine now when can I hear from you?"
In our own city we have many examples of. this. What a grandeur of beneficence ham our fellow citizen, Mr. Pratt, demonstrated, building educational institutions which will put their hands on the nineteenth century, and the twentieth century, and all tho centuries) All honor to such a man! Do not say BO when ho is dead, say it now. It would be a good thing if some of the eulogies we chisel on tombstones were written on paper in time for the philanthropists to read them
while yet tney are alive. Lit** pusL-uiurtoui praise, and more ante-mortem! A poor Scotch lad came to America at twelve years of age, and went to Pittsburg. He looked around for work, and became an jngiweor in a cellar, then rose to become a telegraph messongor boy, then rose to a iosition in a railroad ofiice, then rose to a plane In a telegraph olllee, thou rose to be superintendent of a railroad, then rose till he became an iron and steel manufacturer, thou rose until he opened free libraries in his native land* and last month a free library in Alloh«&y City, and now offers two million dollars for a free library in Pittsburg. This example will be catching until the earth is revolutionized. ilow majestic such men in comparison with some I wot of, who mt'uss wealth and clutch it with both hands until death bogiiis to feel for their heart strings, and thon they dictate to an attorney a last will and tent&nient, in which they spite some daughter because she married against her father's wish, aud fling a few crusts to God and suffering humanity, as much as to say: "I have kept this surplus property, through all theso severe winters, nnd through all thoso long years, from a needy and suffering world, and would keep it longer if I could, but as I must give it up, take it, and much good may it do you!"
Now we begin to understand the text: "Better a living dog than a dead lion." -"i THE DEAD LIONS.
Who would attempt to write tho obituary of the dead lions of commerce, tho dead lions of law, the dead lions of medicine, tho dead lions of socin! influence? Vast capacity had they and mighty range, and other men In their presence were as powerless as the ante!ope or heifer or giraffe when from the jungle a Nutnidian lion springs upon its prey. But they get through with life. They lay down In their magnificent lair. They have made their last sharp bargain. They have spoken their last hard word. They have committed their last mean act. When a tawny inhabitant
of.
tho desert rolls over helpless, the lioness and whelps fill the air with shrieks and howls and lash themselves into lamentation, and it is a genuine grief for tho poor things. But when this dead lion of monstrous uselessness expire there is nothing but dramatized woo, for "Better is a living dog than a dead lion."
My text also means that an opportunity of tho living present is better than a great opportunity passed. Wo spend much of our time in saying: "If I only had." We can all look back and see some occasion where wo might have done a great deed, or might have effected au important rescue, or wo might have dealt" a stroko that would have accomplished a vast result. Through stupidity or lack of appreciation of tho crisis, or through procrastination, we let tho chance go by. How rnu^h time we have wasted iu thinking of what we might have said or might have done! We spend hours and days and years in walking around that dead lion. We can not resuscitate it. It will never open its eyes again. There will never be another spring in its paw. Dead as any feline terror of South Africa, through whose heart thirty years a^o Gordon Gumming sent tho slug. Don't 1st us give any more timo to the deploring of tho dead past. There are other opportunities remaining. Taey may not bo as great, but tliey are worth our attention. Small opportunities all around, opportunities for thfj saying of kind words and doing of kind deeds. Helplessness to lie helped. Disheartened ones to be encouraged. Lost ones to be found. Though tho present may be insignificant as compared with the past, "Better is a living dog than a dead lion."
USELESS REGRET.
Th-s most useless and painful feeling is tho ono of regret. Repent of lost opportunities we must, and get pardon we may, but regrets weaken, dishearten, and cripplo for future work. If a sea captain who once had charge of a White Star steamer across the Atlantic ocerfn one foggy night runs on a rock off Newfoundland, and passengers and ship perish, ehall he refuse to tako command of a small boat up tho North river aud say: "I never will go on the water again unless I can run one of the White Star line?" Shall tho engineer of a lightning express, who at a station misread the telegram of a train dispatcher and went into collision, and for that has been put down to the work of engineering a freight train, say: "I never will again mount an engine unless I cun run a vestibule express!" Take what you have of opportunity left. Do your best with what remains. Your shortest winter day is worth more to you than can be the longest day of a previous summer. Your opportunity now, as compared with previous opportunities, may be small as a rat terrie*- compared with the lion which at Matabosa, fatally wounded by th') gun of David Livingstone, in its death agnny leaped upon the missionary explorer, and with its jaws crushed tho bono of his arm to splinters, and then rolled over and expired, but, "Better is a living dog than a dead lion."
My text, also means that the condition of the most wretched man alive is better than that of the most favored sinners departed. The chance of these last is gone. Where they are they cannot make any earthly assets available. After Charlemagno was dead he was sot in an ornamented sepulchre on a golden throne, and a crown was put on his cold brow, aud a sceptre in his stiff hand, but that gave him no dominion in the next world. One of the most intensely interesting things 1 saw last winter in Egypt was Pharaoh of olden times, the very Pharaoh who oppressed the Israelites. The inscription on his sarcophagus, and the writing on his mummy bandages, prove beyond controversy that he was tho Pharaoh of Bible times. All the Egyptologists and the explorations agree that it is the old scoundrel himself. Visible are the very teeth with which he gnashed against the Israelitish brickmakers. There are the sockets of the merciless eyes with which he looked upon the overburdened people of God. There is the hair that floated in the breeze off the Red Sea. There are the very lips with which he commanded them to make bricks without straw. Thousands of years afterward, when the wrappings of the mummy were unrolled, old Pharaoh lifted up bis arm as if in imploration, but his skinny bones cannot again clutch his shattered sceptre. He is a dead lion. And is not any man now living, in the fact that he has opportunity of repentance and salvation, better off than any of those departed ones who, by authority or possessions or influence, were positively leonine, and yet wicked? yt
CHANCE TO BE SAVED.
What a thing to congratulate you on is your .'ife! Why, it is worth more than all the gems ox the universe kiudled into one precious stone. Iain alive! What does that mean! Why, it means that I still have all opportunity of being saved myself and helping others to be saved. To be alive! Why, it mean* that I have yet another chance to correct my past mistakes and make sure work for heaven. Alive, are we? Como, let us celebrate it by new resolutions, new Self examination, new consecration and a new career. Tho smallest and most insignificant today is worth to us more than fivo hundred yesterdays. Taking advantage of tho present, let' \is get pardon for all the past and security for all the future. Where are our forgiven sins? I don't know. God don't know, either. He says: "Your sins and iniquities will I remember rio more."
What encouragement in the text for all Christian workers! Despair of no orie'8 salvation. While there is life there itf hope. When in England a young lady nskedi for a class in a Sunday school, the superintendent
mid, "Better gu out uu tuu una gut your own class.11 She brought in a ragged ind filthy boy. Tho superintendent gave him good apparel. In a few Sundays ho absented himself. Inquiry discovered that in a street fight he had his decent apparel torn off. He was brought in and a second time respectaly clad. After a few Suudays he again disappeared, and it was found that he was again ragged and wretched. "Thon," said the teacher, "we can do nothing with him." But tho superintendent fitted him up again and started him ajrain. After a while the gospel took hold uf him and his heart changed. lie started for the ministry and became a foreign missionary and on heathen grounds lived, and translated the Scriptures, and preached, until among the most illustrious names of the Church on earth anil in heaven is the name of glorious Robert Morrison. Go forth and save the lost, and remember however depraved, however ragged, and however filthy and undone a child is, or a man is, or a woman is, they are worth an effort. 1 would rather havo their opportunity than any that will over be given to those who lived in magnificent sin and splendid unrighteousness and then wrr.pjied their gorgeous tapestry around them and without a prayer expired. "Better is a living dog than a dead lion." y*'
TI1K LAST 811 ALL UE FIRST.
In the great day it will be found that the last shall bo first. Thero are iu the grog shops and in tka haunts of iniquity today thoso who will yet bo models of holiness and preach Christ to the peoplo. In yonder group of young men who came here with 110 useful purpose, there is ono who will yet live for Christ and perhaps dio for Him. In a pulpit stood a stranger preaching, aud ho said:
Tho lost time I was in this church was fifteen years ago, and the circumstances were peculiar. Three young men had come, oxpectlng to disturb the service, and they had stones in their pockets which they expected to hurl at tho preacher. Ono
of.
tho young men referred
to refused to take part in the assault, and the others, in disgust at his cowardice, left the building. One of tho three was hanged for forgery. Anothor is in prison, condemned to death for murder. I was tho third, but the grace of God saved me." My hearer, give no one up. Tho caso may seem desperate, but tho grace of God likes to undertake a dead lift. I proclaim it this day to all the people— Free Grace! Living and dying, be that my theme—Free Grace I Sound it across the continent, sound it across the seas—Free Grace I Spell out thoso words in flowers, lift them in arches, build them In thrones, roll thorn in oratorios—Free Grace! That will yet Edenize the earth and people heaven with nations redeemed. Free Gracji!
Salvation! Oh, the joyful sound! 'Tis ploasino to our ears, A sovereign bulin for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.
Buried In sorrow and in sin. At death's dark door we lay But we arise by grace divine
To see a heavenly day.
