TOWER OFEXAMPLE.

JREV. DR. TALMAGE ON THE LESSON I OF ABIMELECH.

^Th# Folly of Depending Upon One Form of Tactics—The Advantage of Concerted Action—The Danger of False Refuges—A

Safe Tower.

1 WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.—In his sermon for today Rev. Dr. Talmage took for his Subject "The Power of Example." The itext selected was Judges 9, 48: "And j&bimelech took an ax in his band and but down a bough from the trees and took it and laid it on his shoulder and said unto the people that were with iiim, What ye have seen me do make haste and do as I have done. And all the people likewise cut down every man his bough."

Abimelech is a name malodorous in Bible history and yet full of profitable suggestion. Buoys are black and uncomely, but they tell where the rocks are. The snake's rattle is hideous, but it gives timely warning. From the pijazzaof my summer home night by night saw a lighthouse 15 miles away, not placed there for adornment, but to tell taaariners to stand off from that dangerous point. So all the iron bound coast of moral danger is marked with Saul land Herod and Rehoboam and Jezebel knd Abimelech. These bad people are mentioned in the Bible not only as .warnings, but because there were sometimes flashes of good conduct in their lives worthy of imitation. God sometimes drives a very straight nail with a Very poor hammer.

The city of Shechem had to be taken, and Abimelech and his men were to do it. I see the dust rolling up from their excited march. I hear the shouting of the captains and the yell of the besiegers. The swords clack sharply on the parrying shields, and the vociferation 'of two armies in death grapple is horrible to hear. The battle goes on all day, jand as the snn is setting Abimelech and his army cry "Surrender!" to the beaten foe, ami, unable longer to resist, the 'city of fchecliem falls, and there are 'pools of blood and dissevered limbs and Iglazed eyes looking up beggingly for mercy

thut

soldiers with their head on the lap of another or wife or sister, who have come out for the last offices of kindness and affection, and a groan rolls across the city, stopping not, because there is no spot for it to rest, so full is the place of other groans. A city wounded! A city jdying! A city dead Wail for Shechem, ^all ye who know the horrors of a sacked 'town.

A Strange Army.

As I look over trie city find only one building standing, and toat is the temjple of the god Berith. Some soldiers kratside of the city in a tower, finding that they can no longer defend Shechem, jnow begin to look out for their own personal safety, and they fly to this emple of Berith. They go within the oor, shut it. and they say: "Now we

Abimelech hrs taken the whole

Bity, but 'h^i^njiot take this temple of 'Berith. He re we shall be under the projection of the gods." O Berith, the Igod, do your best now for these refugees. £f you have eyes, pity them. If you [have hands, help them. If you have thunderbolts, strike for them. But how shall Abimelech and his army take this Itemple of Berith and the men who are 'there fortified? Will they do it with the jsword? Nay. Will they do it with the •spear? Nay. With the battering ram tolled up by hundred armed strength Crashing against the walls? Nay. Abimlelech marches his men to a wood in jZalmon. With his ax he hews off a {limb of a tree and puts that limb upon his shoulder, and then he says to his imen, "You do the same."

They are obedient to their commandier. There is a struggle as to who shall ihave axes. The whole wood is full of (bending boughs, and the crackling and jthe hacking, and the cutting, until ev!ery one of the host has a limb of a tree lent down, and not only that, but haa iput it on his shoulder just as Abimelech, [showed him how. Are these msn all armed with the tree branch? The reply jcomes, "All armed." And they march jcn. Oh, what a strange ei'my, with that istrange equipment! They come up to jthe foot of the temple at Berith, and jAbimelecli takes his limb of a tree and •throws it down, and the first platoon of •isoldiers come up, and they throw down jiheir branches, and the second platoon, Wid the third, until all around about the •'-/'emple of Berith there is a pile of tree branches. The Shechemites look out from the window of the temple upon iwhatsrems to them childish play on the (part of their enemies. But soon the flints arn struck, and the spark begins

Ito kindle the

brush, and

up all throujJa the pile, and the ml elements loap to the casement, and the woodwork begins to blaze, and one arm of fluruo is thrown up on the right side of the temple, and another arm of flame jis thrown up on the left side of thetem-

until tiiey clasp their lurid palms nder the wild night sky, and the cry of j"Fire!" within and "Fire!" without announces the terror, and the strangulation, and the doom of the Shechemites, 'and the complete overthrow of the temjple of the god Berith. Then there went top a shout, long and loud, from the Jstout lungs and swarthy chests of Abimjelecli and his men as they stood amid ffhe ashes and the dust crying, "Victory, Victory!"

Forms of Tactics.

Now I learn first from this subject the folly of depending upon aDy one form of tactics in anything we have to 3o for this world or for God. Look over he weaponry of olden times—javelins, jatileaxes, habergeons, and show me a single weapon with which Abimelech ind his men could have gained snch (Omplete triumph. It is no easy thing ,o take a temple thus armed. I have wen a house where, during Revolutionay times, a man and his wife kept back whole regiment hour after hour, be-

nse they were inside the house and nsi»*uing soldiers were outside the

•i- ik

house. Yet here Abime:ech and his army come np, they surround this temple, and they capture it without the lost of a single man on the part of Abimelech, although I suppose some of the old Israelitish heroes told Abimelech, "You are only going up there to be cut to pieces." Yet you are willing to testify today that by no other mode—certainly not by ordinary modes—could that temple so easily, so thoroughly, have been taken. Fathers and mothers, brethren and sisters in Jesus Christ, what the church most wants to learn this day is that any plan is right, is lawful, is best, which helps to overthrow the temple of sin and capture this world for God. We are very apt to stick to the old modes of attack. We put on the old style coat of mail. We come up with the sharp, keen, glittering steel spear of argument, expecting in that way to take the castle, but they have a thousand spears where we have ten. And so the castle of sin stands. Oh, my friends, we will never capture this world for God by any keen saber of sarcasm, by any glittering lances of rhetoric, by any sapping and mining of profound disquisition, by any gunpowdery explosions of indignation, by sharpshootings of wit, by howitzers of mental strength made to swing shell five miles, by cavalry horses gorgeously caparisoned pawing the air. In vain all the attempts on the part of these ecclesiastical foot soldiers, light horsemen and grenadiers.

My friends, I propose a different style of tactics. Let each one go to the forest of God's promise and invitation and hew down a branch and put it on his shoulder, and let us all come around these obstinate iniquities, and then with this pile kindled by the fires of a holy zeal and the flames of a consecrated life we will burn them out. What steel cannot do, fire may. And I announce myself in favor of any plan of religious attack that succeeds—any plan of religious attack, however radical, however odd, however unpopular, however hostile to all convent ionalities of church and state. If one style of prayer does not do the work, let us try another style. If the church music of today does not get the victory, then let us make the assault with a backwoods chorus. If a prayer meeting at half past 7 in *he evening does not succeed, let us have one as early in the morning as when the angel found wrestling Jacob too much for him. If a sermon with three authorized heads does not do the work, then let us have a sermon with 20 heads or no heads at all. We want more heart in our song, more heart in our almsgiving, more heart in our prayers, more heart in our preaching.

A Blood Bed Fact.

Oh, for less of Abimelech's sword and more of Abimelech's conflagration! I had often heard

There is a fountain filled with blood

sung artistically by four birds perched on their Sunday roost in the gallery until I thought of Jenny Lind and Nilsson and Sontag and all the other warblers, but there came not one tear to my eye nor one master emotion to my heart. But one night I went down to the African Methodist meeting house in Philadelphia, and at the close of the service a black woman in the middle of the audience began to sing that hymn, and all the audience joined in, and we were floated some three or four miles nearer heaven than I havq. ever been since. I saw with my own eyes that "fountain filled with blood"—red, agonizing, sacrificial, redemptive—and I heard the crimson plash of the wave as we all went down under it.

For sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains.

Oh, my friends, the gospel is not a syllogism it is not casuistry it is not polemics, or the science of squabbles. It is blood red fact it is warm hearted invitation it is leaping, bounding, flying good news it is efflorescent with all light it is rubescent with all summery glow it is arborescent with all sweet shade. I have seen the sun rise on Mount Washingfon, and from the Tiptop House, but there was no beauty in that compared with the dayspring from on high when Christ gives light to a soul. I have heard Parepa sing, but there was no music in that compared with the voice of Christ when he said, "Thy sins are forgiven thee go in peace." Good news 1 Let every one cut down a branch of th^s tree of life and wave it. Let him throw it down and kindle it. Let all the way from Mount Zalmon to Shechem be filled with the tossing joy. Good news! This bonfire of the gospel shall consume the last temple of sin, and will illumine the sky with apocalyptic joy, that Jesus Chiist came into the world to save sinners. Any new plan that makes a man quit his sin, and that prostrates a wrong, I am as much in favor of as though all the doctors, and the bishops, and the archbishops, and the synods, and the academical gownsmen of Christianity sanctioned it. The temple of Berith must come down, and I do not care how it comes.

The Power of Example.

Still further I learn from this subject the power of example. If Abimelech had sat down on the grass and told his men to go .-and get the boughs and go out to the battle, they would never have gone at all, or if they had it would have been without any spirit or effective result, but when Abimelech goes with his owv ax and hews down a branch and with Abimelech's arm puts it on Abimelech's shoulder and marches on, then, my text says, all the people did the same. How natural that was I What made Garibaldi and Stonewall Jackson the most magnetic commanders of this qentury? They always rode ahead. Oh, jthe overwhelming power of example! Here is a father on the wrong road. All his boys go on the wrong road. Here is a father who enlists for Christ, liis children enlist. I saw in some of tfie picture galleries of Europe that before many of the great works of the masters, the old masters, there would be lometimes four and five artists taking tcpies of the pictures. These copies they were going to carry with them, perhaps to distant lands, and I have thought that your life and character area mas-

Sri*

terpiece, and it is beifig' copied, and long after you are gone it will bloom or blast in the homes of those who knew you and be a Gorgon or a Madonna. Look out what you say. Look out what you do. Eternity will hear the echo. The best seimon ever preached is a holy life. The best music ever chanted is a eonsistent walk. If you want others to serve God, serve him yourself. If you want others to shoulder their duty, shoulder yours. Where Abimelech goes his troops go. Oh, start out for heaven today, and your family will come after you, and your business associates will come after you, and your social friends will join you. With one branch of the tree of life for a baton, marshal just as many as you can gather. Oh, the infinite, the semiomnipotent power of a good or bad example!

I saw last summer, near the beach,, a wrecker's machine. It was a cylinder with some holes at the side, made for the thrusting in of some long poles with strong leverage, and when there is any vessel in trouble or going to pieces in the offing, the wreckers shoot a rope out to the suffering men. They grasp it, and the wreckers turn the cylinder, and the rope winds around the cylinder, and those who are shipwrecked are saved. So at your feet, today, there is an influence with a tremendous leverage. The rope attached to it swings far out into the billowy future. Your children, your children's children, and all the generations that are to follow will grip that influence and feel the long reaching pull long after the figures on your tombstone are so near worn out that the visitor cannot tell whether it was 1896 or 1796 or 1696 that you died.

Concerted Action.

Still further I learn from this subject the advantage of concerted action. If Abimelech had merely gone out with a tree branch, the work would not have been accomplished, or if 10, 20 or SO men had gone, but when all the axes are lifted and all the sharp edges fall, and all these men carry each his tree branch down and throw it about the temple, the victory is gained—the temple falls. My friends, where there is one man in the church of God at this day shouldering his whole duty there are a great many who never lift an ax or swing a bough. It seems to me as if there were ten drones in every hive to one busy bee: as though there were 20 sailors sound asleep in the ship's hammocks to 4 men on the stormy deck. It seems as if there were 50,000 men belonging to the reserve corps, and only 1,000 active combatants. Oh, we all want our boats to get over to the golden sands, but the most of us are seated either in the prow or in the stern, wrapped in our striped shawl, holding a big handled sunshade, while others are blistered in the heat and pull until the oarlocks groan and the blades bend till they snap. Oh, you religious sleepyheads, wake up! You have lain so long in one place that the ants and caterpillars have begun to crawl over you! What do you know, my brother, about a living gospel made to storm the world? Now, my idea of a Christian is a man on fire with zeal for God, and if your pulse ordinarily beats 60 times a minute when you think of other themes and talk about other themes, if your pulse does not go up to 75 or 80 when you come to talk about Christ and heaven, it is because you do not know the one, and have a poor chance of getting to the other.

In a former charge one Sabbath I took into the pulpit the church records, and I laid them on the pulpit and opened them and said: "Brethren, here are the church records. I find a great many of you whose names are down here are off duty.'' Some were afraid I would read the names, for at that time some of them were deep in the worst kind of oil stocks and were idle as to Christian work. But if ministers of Christ today should bring the church records into the pulpit and read, oh, what a flutter there would be! There would not be fans enough in church to keep the cheeks cool. I do not know but it would be a good thing if the minister once in awhile should bring the church records in the pulpit and call the roll, for that is what I consider every church record to be—merely a muster roll of the Lord's army—and the reading of it should reveal where every soldier is and what he is doing.

Call the Roll.

Suppose in military circles oh the morning of battle the roll was called, and out of 1,000 men only 100 men in the regiment answered. What excitement there would be in the camp! What would the colonel say? What high talking there would be among the captains and majors and the adjutants. Suppose word came to headquarters that these delinquents excused themselves on the ground that they had overslept themselves, or the morning was damp and they were afraid of getting their feet wet, or that they were busy cooking rations. My friends, this is the morning of the day of God Almighty's battle. Do you not see the troops? Hear ye not all the trumpets of heaven and all the drums of hell? Which side are you on? If you are on the right side, to what cavalry troop, to what artillery service, to what garrison duty do you belong?. In other words, in what Sabbatll school do yon teach? In what prayer meeting do you exhort? To what penitentiary do you declare eternal liberty? To what almshouse do you announce the riches of heaven? What broken bone of sorrow have you ever set? Are you doing nothing? Is it possible that a man orwoman sworn to be a follower of Jesim Christ is doing nothing? Then hide the horrible 6ecretfrom the angels. Keepitaway from the book of judgment. It you are doing nothing, do not let the wot Id find it out, lest they charge your feligion with being a false face. Do not fet your cowardice and treason be heard! among the martyrs about the throne, lest they forget the sanctity of the place »nd denounce your betrayal of that cause for which they agor.ized and died.

May the eternal. God rouse us all to action! As for myself, I feel I would be ttsliamed to die now and enter heaven tmtil I have accomplished something

more decisive for the Lord that bought me. Oh, brethren, how swiftly the time goes by! It seems to me as if the years had gained some new power of locomoI tion—a kind of speed electric. I The temple of Berith is very broad, and it is very high. It has been going up by the hands of men and devils, and no human engineering can demolish it, but if the 70,000 ministers of Christ in this country should each take a branch of the tree of life, and all their congregations should do the same, and we should march on and throw these branches around the great temples of sin and worldliness and folly, it would need no match or coal or torch of ours to touch off the pile, for, as in the days of

Elijah, fire would fail from heaven and kindle the bonfire of Christian victory over demolished sin.

One Safe Refuge.

Still further, I learn from this subject the danger of false refuges. As soon as these Shechemites got into the temple they thought they were safe. They said: "Berith will takecareof us. Abimelech may batter down everything else. He cannot batter down this temple where we are now hid." But very soon they heard the timbers crackling, and they were smothered with smoke, and they miserably died. I suppose every person in this audience this moment is stepping into some kind of refuge. Here you step in the tower of good works. You say, "I shall be safe in this refuge." The battlements are adorned the steps are varnished on the wall are pictures of all the suffering you have alleviated, and all the schools you have established, and all the fine things you have ever done. Up in that tower you feel you are safe. But hear you not the tramp of your unpardoned sins all around the tower? They each have a match. You are kindling the combustible material. You feel the heat and the suffocation. Oh, may you leap in time, the gospel declaring, "By the deeds of the law shall no flesh living be justified." "Well," you say, "I have been driven out of that tower. Where shall I go?" Step into this tower of indifference. You say, "If this tower is attacked, it will be a great while before it is taken." You feel at ease. But there is an Abimelech with ruthless assault coming on. Death and his forces are gathering around, and they demand that you surrender everything, and they clamor for your overthrow, and they throw their skeleton arms in the window, and with their iron fists they beat against the door, and while you are trying to keep them out you see the torches of judgment kindling, and every forest is a torch and every mountain a torch and every sea a torch, and while the Alps and Pyrenees and Himalayas turn into a live coal, blown redder and redder by the whirlwind breath of a God omnipotent, what will become of your refuge of lies? "But," says some one, "you are engaged in a very mean business, driving us from tower to tower." Oh, no. I want to tell you of a Gibraltar that never has been and never will be tal^en, of a wall that no satanic assault can scale, of a bulwark that the judgment earthquakes cannot budge. The Bible refers to it when it says, "In God is thy refuge, and underneath thee are the everlasting arms." Oh, fling yourself into it. Tread down unceremoniously everything that intercepts you. Wedge your way there. There are enough hounds of death and peril after you to make you hurry. Manj' a man has perished just outside the tower with his foot on the step, with his hand on the latch. Oh, get inside. Not one surplus second have you to spare. Quick 1 Quick! Quick I

Weather Almanacs.

Some of these almanacs rose to a great popularity on the strength of one lucky guess, and I think it is told of Partridge's almanac, or some other of the class, that it owed its reputation to a curious prophecy of extraordinary weather for July 31, when hail, rain, snow, thunder, etc., were freely indicated. Forgetting that the month had 31 days, the almanac maker had omitted to insert the weather prediction for the last day, and a boy was sent from the printing office to know how the space was to be filled up. The weather prophet was too busy to attend to him, but at last in a passion said, "Put down hail, rain, enow, thunder, anything," and the boy, taking it literally, told the compositor, who duly set into type the extraordinary prediction, and which by a freak of nature came true and made the fame and fortune of the almanac maker. This story, if not true, is at least ben trovato and shows the force of the bard's statement

Our indiscretion sometimes Eerves us well When our deep plots do pall.

Patrick Murphy published a popular weai!::'v almanac, and his fame is said to .vo commenced by a lucky hit in one of l!'0 earlier issues by which he indicated which would be the coldest day of the year. There is a copy of this almanac for K-38 in the library of the society, and scr'e former owner has evidently taken tl:o trouble to pencil in the actual weather opposite to that predicted. There were, according to this annotation, 89 incorrect forecasts, 91 doubtful and the rest correct.

This Patrick Murphy was not a mere charlatan. He had a system, and, though lie differed from Sir Isaac Newton and the Royal Astronomical society, he gave much study and research to the subject of meteorology, as shown by his various books. There was an Astro-Meteorolog-ical society as late as 1861.—Nature.

Not Pope Leo's Book.

Mar. Merry Del Val, private chamberlain to Pope Leo XIII, writes to the London Standard denying the widely published statement that a boojf written by the pope when he was Cardinal Pecci was placed on the Index Expuragtorius by Pius IX, where it now is. He says that the book in question, a treatise advocating devotion to the blood of the Virgin Mary, was written by the Rev. Carlo Pasletti, a pious, but eccentric priest of the diocese of Perugia.

UNEXPECTED DEATH.

Our Ambassador to Germany Dies in Berlin.

HEAJRT

FAILURE THE CAUSE.

Mr. Rnnyon Had Been in Somewhat Feeble Health For Sometime Past, but No Immediate Fatal Results Were Anticipated—Only Last Tuesday He Attended a Dinner Given in His Honor.

BERLIN, Jan. 27.—Hon. Theodore Runyon, United States ambassador to Germany, expired suddenly and unexpectedly at 1 a. m. this morning of heart failure. Mr. Runyon had been in somewhat feeble health for some time past, but no immediate fatal results ere anticipated. No longer ago than last Tuesday evening, he was present at a dinner given in his honor by exEmpress Frederick, mother of Emperor William.

THEODORE KUNYOHT.

Last, summer he had planned to make an extended trip through Norway, but on the advice of his physician he abandoned this trip and instead went to Carlsbad, where he took the cure. He subsequently went to Axenstein in Switzerland for the purpose of taking an aftercure.

Since that time, however, he has manifested great activity in the discharge of the duties of his office, which have been more than usually onerous on account of the complications in European affairs which have more or less demanded the attention and care of the diplomatic representatives of all nations. His death will come as a great shock to official and social circles here in Berlin, where he was a great favorite.

Theodore Runyon was born at Somcrville, N. J., Oct. 25, 1822. He graduated from Yale college in 1812, and in 1816 was admitted to the bar. In 1853 he was made city attorney and in 1856 city councillor of Newark, N. J., a positon he retained until in 1864 he became mayor of the city. He was appointed in 1856 a commissioner to revise and codify the military laws of New Jersey and in 1857 was made brigadier general and subsequently major general of the New .Jersey national guard. At the outbreak of the civil war he was placed in command of a New Jersey brigade of volunteers.

In 1SU5 he was the Democratic candidate for governor of his state, but was not elected. In 1873 to 18S7 he was chancellor of Now Jersey. In March, 1893, he was appointed by President Cleveland United States minister to Germany, and shortly afterward was made ambassador in accordance with a law of congress that the United States representative in Germany should be raised to the rank of ambassador reciprocally with a similar action on the part of the German government concerning its representative in the United States. A degree of LL. D. was conferred upon him by Yale, Rutger's and Wesleyan colleges.

Mr. Runyon was the successor of William Walter Phelps, who had held the place of German minister for four years. He was a gallant soldier and Fort Runyon, on the Alexandria railroad at the south end of the long bridge near Washington, is a perpetuation of his name.

At the appointment of Mr. Runyon it was remarked as being that of the office Keeking the man. His name had been presented to the president by Senator McPlierson and Smith, and he knew nothing of the application which was being made in his behalf until he was asked by letter if he would accept. The unequivocal indorsement. which he received from the senators and the high reputation enjoyed by him in the state, led the president to make the appointment without hesitation. He was a man of unquestioned ability and high social attainments.

During his service in Berlin the most Important matter that has been pending between the United States and Germany has been that in regard to the removal of the restrictions imposed on the importations of American pork and beef products into tliat country.

Mr. Ruuyou moved with his family in the best society in New .Jersey. He had three daughters and two sous. The daughters were all noted for their beauty und there was much regret in Newark society when they followed their father and inoi her to the German court.

The sons are Chauncey Runyon, 22 years old, ami Frederick, 29 years old.

ST. PAUL ASHORE.

The Mammoth Ocean I,iner Hard and Fast Off Long llranch. LONG BRANCH, N. J., Jan. 27.—The new American line steamship St. Paul, bound in, went ashore in front of the (irand View House, in a heavy fog, with a wind in the northeast and the surf running far up the beach, a few minutes after 1 o'clock Saturday morning.

All of the 700 passengers were transferred to land. At no time were the passengers in danger. Strenuous efforts are being mado to pull the St. Paul from her dangerous position. She is in 20 leet of water, just in the outside edge of the breakers, about 300 feet from the shore, with her head pointing at an acute angle west and toward the shore.

Since the tugs have been at work the vessel has been moved, about 175 feet and the officers of the company place great reliance on the Merritt and Chapman wrecking companies who have charge of the pulling off of the big steamer, and they hope to have the St. Paul at her dock' at the foot of Yesey street, New Yojk, before the end of this week.
