OF JIANGS PETTY JEALOUSY.

4 A GREAT SERMON BY MR. TALMAGE. Bo the Monster Destroy Its Victim I niiMii It Whispers; It Un It Steal It Debauches; It Blasphemes A Crawling Serpent. JEALOUSY is the rage cf a man. Trov. vi., S4. Some subjects a religious teacher touches a thousand times, now coining on them from one direction, now from another. But here is a bible theme that for some reason is left teetotally alone. This morning, asking your prayers and the strength, of God, I want to grapple it. There in an old sin, haggard, furioii?, inoLitrous, and diabolical, that Las for ages walked and'crawled the earth. It combines all that is obnoxious in the rares human, quadrupedal, ornithological, reptilian, and insectile, horned, tusked, hoofed, fanned, stinged; the eye of a basilisk, the tooth of an adder, tho jaws of a crocodile, the crushing folds of an anaconda, the slyness of a scorpion, the tongue of a cobra, and the coil of the worm that never dies. It is in every community, in every church, in every legislative hall, in every mone3, u ;.,-;-.v. ?,.?i-r . tar' institution, in every drawingroom levee, in every literary and professional circle. It whimpers, it hisses, it lies, it debauches, it hlaVphemes, it damns. My text names it when it says "jealousy is the rae of man." It is grief at the superiority of others; their superiority in talent, or wealth, or beauty, or elegance, or virtue, or social or professional or political recognition. It is the shiver in our pocket-book because it is not as fat as some one else's pocket-book. It is the twinge in the tongue becauso it is not as eloquent as some one else's tongue. It is the flutter in our robes, because they are not as lustrous as .-oine one else's robes. It is the earthquake under our house because it is not as many feet front and deep as our neighbors house. It is tho thunder of other people's popularity souring the milk tf our kindness. It is the father and mother both of one-half of the discontent, and outrages, and detractions, and bankruptcies, and crimes, and woes ot the human race. It was antediluvian as much as it is post-diluvian. It put a rough stick in the hands of the tirst boy that was ever born and said to him: "Xow, Cain, when Abel is looking the other way crush in his skull, for his sacrifice has been accepted ami yours rejected." And Cain picked up the stick, as though just to walk with it, and while Abel was watching some bird in the tree-top or gazing at tome waterfall, down came the blow of the first assassination, which has had its echo in all the fratricides, matricides, uxoricides, homicides, infanticides, and regicides of all ages and nations. This passion of jealousy so disturbed Caligula at the prominence of some of the men of his time that he rut the much admired curl from the brow of Cincinnatus and took the embroidered collar from the neck of Torquatusand had Ptolomams killed because of his purple robe, which attracted too much attention. After Columbus had placed America as a gem in the Spanish rown jealousy set on the Spanish courtiers to depreciate his achievement, and aroused animosities till the great discoverer had his heart broken. Urged on by this bad passion, Dionysius flayed Plato because he w as wiser than himself, and Philoxenius because his music was too popular. Jealousy made Korah lie about Mosesand Succoth depreciate Gideon. Jealousy made the trouble between Jacob and Esau. That hurled Joseph into the pit. That struck the twenty-three fatal wounds into Julius C;csar. That banished Aristides. That fired Antony against Cicero. Tiberius exiled an architect because of the fame ho got for a beautiful porch, and slow a poet for his line tragedy. That set Saul in a rnre against David. How graphically the bilde puts it when it says: "hranl "eyed David." It M-cros to take jwssession of both eyes and make them Mash and burn like two portholes of hell. "Saul eyed David." That is, he looked at him as much as to sav: "You little upstart, how dare you attempt anything great? I will grind you under my heel. I will exterminate you. I will, you miserable horuuneulus. Crouch, crawl, &!ir.k into that rat-hole. I will teach thos weinen to sing some other tong, instead of '.Saul has slain his thousands, but David Lis tens of thousands.' " When Voltaire heard that Frederick the ireat was forgetting him and putting his literary admiration on Hacaulard d'Arnaud the old infidel leaped out of his bed and danced the floor in a maniacal rage, and ordered his swiftest horses hooked up to carry him to the Prussian palace. That despicab le passion ot jealousy led Napoleon I. to leave in his will a bequest of 5,000 francs to the rnrliau who shot at Wellington when the victor. of Waterloo was passing through Paris. That stationed the gouty elder brother at the back door of Lis homestead when the prodigal -son returnedjand threw a chill on the family reunion while that elder brother complained, saying: "Who ever heard of giving roast veal to such a profligate?" Aye, that passion Tose up, and under the darkest cfond that ever shadowed the earth, and amid the loudest, thunder that ever shook the mountains, and amid the wildest flash of lightning that ever blinded or stunned the nations, hung up on two pieces of rough lumber back of Jerusalem the kindest, purest, lovingest nature that heaven coula delegate, and t topped not until there was no power felt in hammer or bramble or javelin to hurt the dead Son of fod. That passion of jealousy, livid, hungry,

nnbalked, rages on, and it now pierces the earth like a liery diameter and encircles it like a liery circumference. . It wants both hemispheres. It wants' the heavens." It would, .if it could, capture the palace of (Sod, and dethrone Jehovah, and chain the Almighty in eternal exile, and after the demolition of the universe would cry: "Satisfied at last, Jure I am! Alone! the undisputed end everlasting J, me, mine, myself." That passion keeps all Europe perturbed. Rations jealous of Germany, of England,. of Piissia, and those jealous of each other, and all of them jealous of America. ! y. In .our land this passion of jealousy keeps all the political world a-boil. There are at least live hundred people who are jealous of Gov. Hill :unl would like to be his successor, about live thousand who are jealous of G rover Cleveland and would like to relievo him of the cares of ollice, and after tho nominations of next Hummer have been made a whole pandemonium of defamation, scurrility, hatred, revenae, falsehood, profanity, and misrepresentation will be turned upon this land. The tariff, about the raising or lowt'.ing or reformation of which many of them care nothing, except as to "its tlTects on votes, w ill be discussed from a thousand platforms, and the people of Louisiana vAll be told that the taxes must be taken off sugar, thejM.oplo of Virginia will be told that the taxes must be taken off tobacco, and the people of Pennsylvania will be toid that the taxes mat be taken oil iron, and the people of Kentucky will be told that the taxes mu-t be taken off whisky, and the people of Ohio that the taxes must be taken oil' wool, while Massachusetts and Connecticut will be promised protection for manufactures, and all the monetary interests north, south, cast and west, will be told in each neighborhood, that the taxes and tariff will be fixed to suit them, irrespective of anybody else; and, the presidential election over, all will settle dow n as it was before. If you think that all this discussion in public places is from desire of the welfare of the dear people and not for iolitical effect, you are grievously mistaken. Go into all occupations and professions, and if you want to know how much jealousy is yet to be extirpated, ask master builders what they think of each other's houses, and the merchants what their opinion is of the merchants in the same line of business in the same street, and ask doctors what they think of doctors, and lawyers what they think of lawyers, and ministers what they think of ministers, and artists what they, think of artists. As long as men and women in any department keep down and have ä hard struggle, they will be faintly praised and the remark will be: "Oh, ves;he is a good, clever sort of a fellow.1' "Mie is rather ves, somewhat quite well, I may say, a tolerably nice kind of a woman." Büt let him or her get a little too high, and off goes the aspiring head by social or commercial decapitation. Ketnember that envy dwells more on small detects of character than on great forces; makes more of the fact that Domitian amused himself by transfixing Hies with his penknife than of his great conquests; of the fact that Handel was a glutton than of the fact that he created imperishable oratorios : more of Coleridge's opium habit than of his writing "Chri-ita-bel" and the "Ancient Mariner;" more of tho fact that Addison drank too much than of the fact that he was the author of the ".Spectator:" more of a man's peccadilloes than of his mighty energies; more of his defeats than of his victories. Look at the sacred and heaven-descended science of healing, p.inl then see Dr. Mackenzie, the English surgeon who prolonged the life of the crown prince of Germany until he became emperor, and I hope may yet cure him, so that he may for many years govern that magnificent German nation, than which there is no grander. Yet so great arc the medical jealousies that Dr. Mackenzie dare not wall: in the streets of Berlin. He is under military guard. The medical students of Germany can hardly keep their hands oil of him. Tho old dK tors of Germany are writhing with indignation. The fact is that in saving Frederick's life Dr. Mackenzie saved the peace of Europe. There v. as not an intelligent man on either side the ocean that did not fear for the result if the throne passed from wise and good old Emperor William to Iiis inexperienced grandson. But when, under the medical treatment of Dr. Mackenzie, Crown Prince Frederick took the throne, a wave of satisfaction and confidence rolled over Christendom, what sludl the world do with the doctor w ho saved his life? "Oh," cried out the medical jealousies of Europe, "destroy him of course, destroy him." " What a brutal scene of jealousy .we had in this country when President Garfield lay dying. There were faithful physicians that sacrificed their other practice and sacrificed their health for all time in fidelitv to that death-bed. Drs. Bliss and Hamilton and Agnew went through anxieties and toils and fatigues such as none but God could appreciate. Nothing pleased many of the medical profession'. The doctors in charge did nothing right. We who did not see the case knew better than those who agonized over it in the sick-room for many weeks. I, who never had anvthing worso than a run-round on my thumb, which seemed to me at the "time was worthy all the attention of the entire medical fraternitv, had my own ideas as to how the president ought to be treated. And in projortion as the physicians and laymen were ignorant of the case, they were sure the treatment practiced was a mistake. And when in iMist-inortem the bullet dropped out of a different part of the body from that in which it was supposed to have been lodged, about two hundred thousand people shouted: "I told you so." "There, 1 knew it tall the time." There are some doctors in all cities who would rather have the patient die under the treatment of their own schools than have them get well under some other pathy. Yea, look at the clerical profession. I am sorry to say that in matters of jealousy it is no better than other professions. There are now in all denominations a great many young clergymen w ho have a iiculty for superior usefulness. Cut they are kpt down and keot back and crippled by older ministers who look askance at thesurL-ingevangelists. They aresnubbed. They are jostled. They are patronizingly advfsedj It is suggested to them that they had better know their place. If here and there on with more nerve and brain ami consecration and diviue' force go past the seniors, who want to keep the chief places, he young are advised in the words of scripture: "Tarry at Jericho till their beards are grown." They are charged with sensationalism. They are compared to the rockets that go up in a blaze and come down sticks, and the brevity of their career is jubilantly prophesied. If it be a denomination with bishops, a bishop is implored to sit down heavily on the man who will not be molded, or, if a denomination without Iiishops, some of the older men w ith nothing more than their own natural heaviness ami theological avoirdupois are advised to Hatten out the innovator. In conference fi anl presbyteries and associations and conventions there is often seen the most damnable jealousy. Such " ecclesiastical tyrants would not admit that jealousy had any possession ofthera, and they take on a heavenly air and talk sweet oil and sugar plums, and balm of a thousand flowers and roll up their eyes with an air af unctuous sancity, whh they simply mean the destruction of those over whom

i they piny and en mile. There are cases

where ministers of religion are derelict and criminals, and they must fe put out. But in the majority of cases that I have witnessed in ecclesiastical trials there is a jealous attempt to keen men from surpassing their theological fellows, and, as at presidential elections in country places, tlie people have a barbecue which is a roasted ox round which the people dance with knives, cutting off a slice here, aud pulling out a rib there, and sawing off a oeefsteak yonder, and having a high time so most of the denominations of Christians keep on hand a barbecuo in which some minister is roasted, while the church courts dance around with their sharp knives of attack, and one takes an ear, another a hand another a, foot, and it is hard to tell whether tho ecclesiastical plaintiffs of this world or the demons of the netherworld most enjoy it. Albeit Barnes, than whom no man has accomplished more good in the last thousand years, was decreed to bit silent for a year In the pew of his own church while some one else occupied his pulpit, the pretended offense that he did not believe in a limited atonement, but the real offense the fact that all the men who tried him put together would not equal one Albert Barnes. Yes; amid all professions and business and occupations and trades, and amid all circles needs to be heard what God says in regard to envy and jealousy, which though not exactly the same, are twins. "Envy i.s the rottenness of hope." "Where envy anil strife is, there is confusion and every evil work." "Jealousy is the rage of man." My hearers, if this evil passion is iu any of our souls, ery mightilv unto God for its expulsion. That which has downed kings and emperors and apostles and reformers and ministers of religion and thousands of good men and w omen, is too mightv for you to contend against unaided. The evil has so many roots of such inlinite convolution that nothing but the energy of omnipotence can pull it out. Tradition says that when Moses lilted Up his head to pray it was all encrusted with manna, and no sooner do you pray than you are helped. Away with the accursed, stenchful, blackening, damning crime of jealously. Allow it to stay nmfit will eat up and carry off all the "religion you can pack in your soul for the next half century. It will do you . more harm than it doe's anyone it leads you to assail. It will delude you with the idea that you can build yourself up by pulling somebody down. You will make more out of the success of others than out of their misfortunes. i?peak well of everybody. .Stab no man in the back. Be "a honey-bee rather than a spider; be a dove rather than a buzzard. Surely this world is large enough for you and all your rivals. God has given vou a work to do. Go ahead and do it. Mind vour own business. In all circles, in all business, in all professions, there is room for straightforward successes. Jealousv entertained will not only bed warf your soul but it will flatten your skull, bemean your ej-o, put pinchedness of look about your nostril, give a bad curl to the lip, and expel from your face the divine image in which you were created. When you bear a man or woman abused, drive in on the defendant's side. Watch for excellences in others rather than defects, morning glories instead of nightshade. If someone i3 moro beautiful than you, thank (Jod that you have not so many perils of vanity to contend with. If someone has more wealth than you, thank (i od that you have not so great stewardship to answer for. If someone is higher up in social position, thank God that those who are down need not fear a fall. If someone gets higher otlice in church or state than you, thank (Jod there are not so many to" wish for the hastening of your obsequies. The duke of Dantzig, in luxurious apartments, was visited ly a plain friend, and to keep his friend from jealousy, the duke said: "You can have all I have if vou will stand twenty paces oil" and let me shoot at vou a hundred times." "Xo, no," said "his friend. "Well," said the duke, "to gain all my honors I faced on the battle-held more than a thousand gunshots lired not more than ten paces oil'." A minister of a small congregation complained to a minister of a large congregation about the sparseness of his attendants. "Ah," said the one of the large audience, "my son, you will find in the day of judgment that you had quite enough people for whom to be helu accountable." Substitute for jealousy an elevating emulation. Seeing others'good, let us try to be better. Seeing others industrious, let us work more hours. Seeing others benevolent, let us resolve on giving larger percentage of our means lor charity. May God put congratulations for others into our right hand and cheers on our lips for those who do brave and useful things. Life is short at the longest; let it all be filled up with helpfulness for others, work and sympathy for each other's misfortunes, and our arms be full of white mantles to cover up the mistakes and failures of others. If an evil report about some one come to us, let us put on it most favorable construction, as the Phone enters Lake Leman foul and comes out crystalline. Do not build so much on the transitory differences of this world, for soon it will make no difference to us whether we had 10,000.000 or 10 cents, and the ashes into which the tongue of Demosthenes dissolved are just like the ahcs into which the tongue of the veriest stammerer went. If you are assailed by jealousy make no answer. Take it as a compliment, for people are never jealous of a failure, l-ntil vour work is done you are invulnerable, llemember how our I)rd behaved under such exasperations. Did they not try to catch Him in His word? Did they not call Him the victim of intoxicants! Did they not misinterpret Him from the winter "of the year 1 to the spring of tho year y: that is, from His tirst infantile cry to the last groan of His asassination? "Yet lie answered not a word. But so far from demolishing either His mission or His good namei after near nineteen centuries He outranks everything under the skies, and is second to" none above them, and the archangel makes salaam at His footstool. Christ's bloodv antagonists thought that they had finished Him when they wrote over the cross His accusation in three languages Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin, not realizing that thev were by that act introducing Him to all nations, since Hebrew is the holiest language, and Greek the wisest of tongues, and Latin the wilest spoken. You are not the first man who had his faults looked at through a microscope and his virtues through the wrong end of a telescope. Pharcah had the chief butler and baker endungeoned, and tradition cavs that all tho butler had done was to allow a 11 y in the king's cup and all the baker had done was to allow a gravel in the king's bread. The world has the habit of 'making a great ado about what you do wrong and forgetting to say anything about what you do right, but the same God will take care of you who provided for Merlin, the Christian martyr, w hen hidden from his pursuers in a haymow in Paris, find a hen came and laid an egg close by him every morning, thus keeping hira from starvation. Blessed are they that are persecuted, although persecution is a severe cataplasm. Ointment may smart the wound before healing it. What a soft pillow to die on if when w e leave the w orld we can feel that though a thousand people may have wronged us, we have wronged no one ; or having made envious or jealous attack on others, we have repented of the sin and as far as possible made reparation. Tho good res

THE RESURRECTION. '. An Historical Fact that Is Conclusively Authenticated. Providence Journal. J No body of men were ever in greater despair than were the disciples of Jesus Christ when they saw their beloved Master die upon the cross. They had given up all their worldly occupations and their social standing among the Jews in order to attach themselves to his fortunes. They, had done this because they believed him to bo the Messiah, whose coming had Jong been foretold by the prophets, and whos appointed work" was to restore the fallen fortunes of Israel. His miraculous power, his pure character and noble beating, his unrivaled ascendency over the minds of and hearts of men, all contributed to heighten their faithin him. On a sudden they beheld their dream destroyed, their Master seized by Roman authority al the instigation of Jew ish elders, anil w ithout lifting a finger in Ids own defense, apparently with his own consent, crucified and slain. At that moment nothing could have been more abject and hopeless than the- situation of the little band of His followers, w ithout influence or education, numbering at the most only a ilw dozen, and these mainly women and Oa!illean peasants. " "What was it that restored the confidence and revived the courage of the little band and sent them out into the w orld as apostles of a new faith, destined to subvert kingdoms, civilize barbarians, build up an ever-enduring empire upon the ruined throne of the Ciesars, and w hose domiuion was to extend with the ever-widening influence of civilized mankind? There is only one possible answer: "It was the belief in the resurrection of Jesus Christ." It is perfectly evident that these men believed this. Their w ritten story is as simple and clear as a crystal lake. The supposition of the invention of the narrative, or collusion in its preparation, is forbidden by the adroitness ot the story, and has long been ubandoned by respectable skeptics. Its authenticity is vouched for by eye-witnesses of the repeated reappearance of the cruciOed Master, and no voice from antiquity has reached Us contradicting their testimony. The witnesses proved their belief by giving up every earthly consideration for their appointed service in behalf of a despised and apparently hopeless cause, aud accepted martvrd'om without a murmur, hoping that they "might attain unto the resurrection from the dead." The church, during its entire history, has accepted this testimony and staked its existence upon the doctrine of the resurrection. The doctrine has never been questioned by any respectable sect, and it is easv to see that the church must stand or fall with thi3 belief. Skepticism bus at last been driven into its last position from which to attack Christian faith in the resurrection. It now admits the authenticity of the gospels and the sincerity oi the writers ; it is even disposed to grant the sufficiency of the testimony, provided the event could be considered under any circumstances creditable; but it asserts the uniform action of natural law, the utter. impcj&jibility of a resurrection ever taking place, and that the witnesses must have been credulous and self-deceived men. The world has been quick t adopt the doctrine of tho immortality of the soul, as taught by the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and which no argument of Socrattd or other philosopher has ever proved or can prove. Its faith in this doctrine has never been shaken, and is. one of the main causes of its fiupreraucy over other faiths, as it was, according to Gibbon, one of the principal reasons for the rapid growth of the early church. 'or is this belief to be overthrown. It will not be believed that Christianity rests. upon a delusion, that the real has come out of the false, the beautiful out of the unworthy, so much that is inspiring in human lii'e tracing its origin to an idle tale. Science is more likely hereafter to add further reasons for our belief in immortality than to deny existing reasons. --' A PASTORAL CALL. . Soma Practical Hints to Clenrymn Regard. Ingthe Families of Their Charge. The Independent. The first call a pastor makes upon a family, whether it be at the entrance of his w ork among a new people, or whether it be upon a new family among his people, should be mainly for acquaintance. If he has the time to repeat the call at an early day, it may be well enough to regard this first call a"s introductory ; in which case, by kind and courteous words and bearing, he places himself before them as the servant of Clod, to meet such needs as they have of him, and to ascertain how far they may be interested hi spiritual things. If he can not soon repeat the call we should say that the pastor who desires to make the most of his ministry should ascertain in a tactful way; during his lir.-t call, the spiritual status oi the household; and if he can meet the family, leave a well-chosen word for and with each of them. Ho should avoid the "hammer and tongs" method bv all means; but if the situation is favorable and those whom he meets are not Christians, he has a right, and it is expected cf-him. that he will present to such the claims of Christ upon them. If this is not done early iu the acquaintance which a pastor makes, the probability is that it will never be done. Having" postponed this duty once, it is most probable that the opportunity will never come . back again, or if it remains the pastor will not embrace it. If the family is divided in respect to their relations to Christ, then, after atirst call upon them all, the "pastor should take an early opportunity to call upon the unconverted memlrsof the family and seek to w in them in this quiet and personal way to Christ. In order to do this work successfully aud with gladness their must, be both purpii.se and consecracration. Until one is fairly in this work with heart and soul it is apt to Ix? irksome and difficult. The spirit may be willing in a feeble tsort of way, but the flesh will be too weak to bear .the feeble will. But once get into it; once come to find that here Uod has souls for him and that they are waiting for his hand to lead them out into light and life, there will bo nogreaterjoy that can come to him. It will, as we have before remarked, make preaching and all other pastoral work a joy and delight.. . iL "' DR. FRANCIS L. PATTON. IIa tlie Irilcnt of Princeton Clmnjtl Views Since ths Swing Trial?

In his recent speeches be fore the friends and alumni of Princeton in this city, Chicago and elsewhere -Dr. Patton is quoted as "glorying ' in the fact that no doctrinal subscription was now exacted of any man who wanted to join the denomination to which he belongs, and which he represented in the Swing trial ; that the future of America depended on a "cultivated conscience", and that fundamental question in philosophy, in political economy and in the philosophy ot history shall be dealt with under the light of the spirit of Christianity." Dr. Patton is right. The Py congratulates him and Princeton, and invites Col.

From the city of Mexico 3(X people have started lor Rome to visit the pope. This pilgrimage, though ho brielly announced, is by fur the largest nnd most important ever made from this continent. Great secrecy has been niaintnincd regarding the arrangements for the pilgritiinte, and the real purposes for which it in designed have not been made known; but those who are in a position to know, are confident that the. movement is of great religious iinnortunce. A reevnt enumeration of the congregation nt the leading London churches showed that Dr. Joseph 1'nrkcr at the city temple had a morning audience of 1,3-3 and un evening one of ',41". St. Paul's consrtgation numbered 1,W2, and twenty church of laigland congregations numbered about l.MXJ eneh.

Dr. Hull of Ih-ooklyn receives 1.3.'"; Dr. Talmage SlS.Oöfl, and a much more iron his lecturing tours, and Drs. Storrs and Cuykr of Brooklyn each $1U.X. Prof. Druminond tells this story about Mr. Moody: "When Mr. Moody returned to NorthCeld, ilie unitarians and l!oman cctholies of the place jr.ivo him the cold shoulder; even his own mother and brother, w ho w ere unitarians, would not receive him. hut by living a kindly Christian life, ho has von the whole town oi Northlield to hu feet.

TheeS'ect of that action has beeu marvellous, and now every UoinHn catholic in the place would lay down hall" Iiis life for Mr. Moody. The priest blessed him from the nltar, and told the people that if ever Mr. Moody wanted to build a church they wen; t drair down stones for him from the mountains. This they had actually dene, end Mr. Drummond saw piles of stones lying about on the site of Mr. Moody's contemplated church. Thus he gets hold of the people by being kind to them and living down their opposition." The New York and the Newark methodic episcopal conferences have asked the general conference by a nearly unanimous vote that ull the elections for generr.l church omcc-rs except bishops, be taken out of the Kpneral conference'. The powers of the eneral conference are very great, and its patronage is immensely valuable. It is Contended that the time required in properlv and wisely apportioning this patronage interferes seriously with the legislative duties of the conference. B''lsi4esthai if the conference had no offices to fill except that of bishops, there would not be so greaia desire on the part of self-eeeking men to be elected delegates. Besides the vacant bishoprics, four book agents, four secretaries and eleven editors are chosen by the conference. All these are positions of honor and emolument tnd ore eagerly sought by prominent methodise. Nor are they the only positions at the disposal of the conference; it is stated that the last conference, which was composed of 417 delegates, elected in all 41'4 oflieers.
