TALMAGE’S sermon. Timely Dlbooutm Upon the Condition of National Affairs. If Ever th Country Npoitad Dtvln* Km. „u ft I* Now, with Ml.ery and Starvation Staring So Many In tha Fao*. Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage delivered the following sermon beforehis Washington congregation on the subject: “Gates of Carbuncle,” basing it on the text: And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of>carbunoles.— lsaiah Uv., 12. Perhaps because a human disease of most painful and ofttimes fatal character is named after it, the church and the world hare never done justice to that intense and all-suggestive precious stone, the oarbuncle. The pearl that Christ picked up to illustrate His sermon, and the Jasper and the sapphire and the amethyst which the apocalyptic vision masoned into the ■wall of Heaven haya had proper recognition, but this, in all the ages, is the first sermon on the carbuncle. This precious stone is found in the East Indies; in color it is an intense scarlet, and held up between your eye and the sun it is a burning coal. The poet puts it into rhythm as he writes: Like to the burning coal whence comes its name. , Among the Greeks as Anthrax known to lame. God sets it high up in Bible crystallography. He cuts it with a divine chisel, shapes it with a , precise geometry, and kindles its fire into an almost Biipernatural flame of beauty. Its law of symmetry, its law of zones, its law of parallelism, something to excite the amazement of the scientist, chime the cantos of the poet, and arouse the adoration of the Christian. No one but the infinite God could fashion a carbuncle as large as your thumb-nail, and, as if to make all ages appreciate this precious stone, He ordered it set In the first row of the high priest’s breast-plate in blden time, and higher up than the onyx and theemerhld and ’the diamond, and in Ezekiel’s prophecies concerning the splendors of the Tyrian court the carbuncle is mentioned, the brilliancies of the walls and of the tessellated floors suggested by the Bible sentence: “Thou hast walked up and dowfi in the midst of the stones of fire!” But in my text it is not a solitary specimen that I hand you, as the keeper of a-museum might take down from the shelf a precious stone and allow you to examine it. Nor is it the panel of a door that you might stand and study it for its unique carvings or bronzed traceries, but there is a whole gate of it lifted before our admiring and astounded vision; ayel two gates of it; aye! many gates of it: “I will make thy gates of carbuncles.” What gates? Gates of the church. Gates of anything worth possessing. Gates of successful enterprise. Gates of salvation. Gates of national achievement. Isaiah, who wrote this text, wrote also all that about Christ “as the Lamb to the slaughter,” and spoke of Christ as saying, “I have trod the winepress alone,” and wrote, “Who is this that coineth from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?” And do you tkiDk that Isaiah in my text merely happened to represent the. gates as red gates, as carmine gates, as gates of carbuncles? No. He means that it is through atonement, through blood-red struggle, through agonies we get into anything worth getting into. Heaven’s gates may well be made of pearl, a bright, pellucid, cheerful crystallization, because all the struggles are over and there is beyond those gates nothing but raptures and cantata and triumphal procession and everlasting holiday and kiss of reunion, and so the 12 gates are ] 2 pearls, and could be nothing else than pearls. But Christ hoisted the gates of pardon in His own blood, and the marks of eight fingers and two thumbs are on each gate, and as He lifted the gate it leaned against His forehead, and took from it a crimson impress, and all those gates are deeply dyed, and Isaiah was right when he spoke of those gates as gates of carbuncle. What an odd thing it is, think some, this idea of vicarious suffering or suffering for others! Not at all. The world has seen vicarious suffering millions of times before Christ came and demonstrated it on a scale that eclipsed all that went before and all that shall come after. Rachel lived only long enough after the birth of her son to give him a name. In faint whisper she said, “Call him Beu-oni, which means “son of my pain, and all modern travelers on the road from Jerusalem to Bethel uncover their heads and stand reverently at the tomb of Rachel who died for her boy. But in all ages, how many mothers die for their children, and in many cases grownup children, who by recreancy stab clear though the mother's heart! Suffering for others? Why the world is full of it. “Jump!” said the engineer to the fireman on the locomotive. “One es us is enough to die. Jump! and so the engineer died at his post, trying to save the train. When this summer the two trains crashed into each other near Atlantic City, among the 47 who lost their lives, the engineer was found dead with one ban on the trottle of the locomotive, and the other on the brake. Aye! there are hundreds here to-day suffering for others. You know and ° knows that it is vicarious sacrifice. But on one limestone hil abou twice the height of this church, live minutes’ walk from the gates of Jerusalem, was the sublimest case o su feringfor others that the world ever saw or ever will see. Christ, . e vie tim, human and Satanic malevolence the executioner, the whole luman race having an overwhelming in o es in the spectacle. To open a " a i. or ns sinful men and sinful " oipfii in o glorious pardon and high “P® , etcynal exultation, Christ, vw 1 ’ a ‘ dripping with the rush of opeDe teries, swung back the gate o < eep hue, a gate of carbuncle. . , What is true in spirituals is truo I

temporals. There are youug men and older men who hope, through the right settlement of this acrid controversy between silver and gold, or the bimetallic quarrel, that it will become easy to make a living. That time will never come. It never has been easy to make *- The men' who' have it easy now went through hardships and selfdenials to which most young men would never consent. Unless they got it by inheritance, you can not mention 20 men who have come to honorable fortune that did not fight their way inch by inch, and against fearful odds that again and again almost destroyed ' them. F6r some good reason God has arranged it for all the centuries that the only way for most people to get a livelihood for themselves and their families is with both hands and all the allied forces of the body, mind and soul to push back and push open the red gate, the gate of carbuncle. For the benefit of all young men, if I had the time, I would call the roll of those who overcame obstacle. How many of the mighty men who went one way on Pennsylvania avenue and reached the United States senate, or walked the other way on Pennsylvania avenue and reached the White House, did not have to climb over political obloquy? Not one. llow much scorn and scoff, and brutal attack did Horace Mann endure between the time when he first began to fight for a better common school system in Massachusetts, and the day when a statue in honor of him was placed on the steps of the state house overlooking “The Commons?” What is true of individuals If true of nations. Was it a mild spring morning when the pilgrim fathers landed on Plymouth. Rock, aud did they come in a gilded yacht, gay streamers flying? No. It was in cold December, and from a ship in which one would not want td cross the Hudson or the Potomac Scalping knives all ready to receive them, they landed, their only welcome, the Indian warwhoop. Red men on the beach. Red men in the forest. Red men on the mountains. Red men in the valleys. Living gates of rfed men. Gates of carbunclel Aboriginal hostility pushed back, surely now our forefathers will have nothing to do but to take easy possession of the fairest continent under the sun. The skies so genial, the soil so fertile, the rivers so populous with finney life, the acreage so immense, there will be merry. No. The most powerful nation, by army and navy, sounded its protest across 3,000 miles of water. Then came Lexington, and Bunker Hill, and Monmouth, and Long Island battles, aud and Valley Forge, and Yorktown, and starvation, and widowhood, and orphanage, and the thirteen colouies went through sufferings which the historian has attempted to put upon canvas, but all in vain. Engraver’s knife, and reporter’s skill, and telegraphic wire, and daily press, which have made us acquainted with the horrors of modern battlefield, had not yet begun their vigilance, and the story of the American revolution has never been told, and never will be told. It did not take much ink to sign the Declaration of Independence, but it took a terrific amount of blood to maintain it. It was an awful gate of opposition that the men and women—and the women as much as the men — pushed back. It was a gate of selfsacrifice. It was a gate of blood. It was a gate of carbuncle. We are not indebted to history for our knowledge of the greatest of national crises. Many of us remember it, and fathers arid mothers now living had better keep telling that story to their children, so that instead of their being dependent upon cold type and obliged to say: “On such a page of such a book you cau read thart,” will they rather be able to say: “My father told me so!” “My mother told me so!” Men and women who vividly remember 1861, and 1862, and 1863, and 1864, be yourselves the historians, telling it, not with pen. but with living tongue and voice and gesture. That is the great use of Memorial Decoration day, for the eally lilies on the grave tops soon become breathless of perfume, and in a week turn to dust like unto that which lies beneath them. Btft the story of courage and self-sacrifice and patriotism told on platforms and in households and by the roadside and in churches and in cemeteries, by that annual recital will be kept fresh in the memory of generations as long as our American institutions are worthy of preservation. I beg after you are dead .your children will be able to say. with the Psalmist: “We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work Thou didst in their days, in the times of old.” But what a time it was! Four years of homesickness! Four years of brotherly and sisterly estrangement! Four years of martyrdom! Four years of massacre! Put them in a long line, the conflagration of cities, aDd see them light up a whole continent! Put them in long rows, the hospitals, making a vast metropolis of pain and paroxysm! Gather them In one vast assemblage, the millions of bereft from the St Lawrence to the gulf, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific beaches! Put the tears into lakes, and the blood into rivers, and the shrieks into whirlwinds! During those four .years many good and wise men at the north and the south saw nothing ahead but annihilation. With such a national debt we could never meet our obligations! With such mortal antipathies northern and southern men could never coine into amity! Representatives of Louisiana and Georgia, and the could never again sit side with the representatives of Maine, Massachusetts, and New York at the national capital. Lord Jphn Russell had declared that we were “a bubble-burst-ing nationality,” and it had come true. The nations of Europe had gathered with very resigned spirit at the funeral of our American republic. They had tolled the bells on parliaments and reichstags and lowered their flags at half-mast, and even the lion on the

other side of the sea had whined for the dead eagle on this side. The deep grave Uad been dug, and beside Babylon, and Thebes, and Tyre, and other dead nations of tlie past our dead republic was to be buried. The epitaph was ali ready: “Here the American republic. Born at PblTadpi phia, 4th of July 1776. ' Killed at Bull Run, July 21, 1861. Aged 85 years and if days. Peace to its ashes.” - But before the obsequies bad quits closed there was an interruption of the ceremonies, and our dead nation rose from its mortuary surroundings. God had made for it a special Resurrection day, and cried:* “Come forth, thou Republic of Washington,and John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, and Patrick Henry, and John Hancock, and Daniel \Veb6ter, and S. S. Prentiss, and Henry Clt\y. Come forth!” And she came forth, to be stronger than she had ever been. Her mightiest prosperities’ have come since that timfe. Who would want to push back this country to what it was in 1860 or 1850? But, oh! wbat a high gate, what a strong gate she had to push back before slie could make one step in advance! Gate of name! See Norfolk navy yard, aud Columbia, and Chambersburg,,and Charleston on firol Gate of bayonets! See glittering riflea and carbines flash from the Susquehanna, aud the James, to the Mississippi and the Arkansas! Gate of heavy artillery, making the mountains of Tennessee and Kentucky and Virginia tremble as though the earth itself were struggling in its last agony. The gate was so fiery and so red that I can think of uothiug more appropriate than to take the suggestiou of Isaiah in the text and call it a gate of carbuncles. This country has been for the most part of its history passing through crises, and after each crisis was better off than before it entered it, and now we aro another crisis. We are told on one hand that if gold is kept as a standard and silver is not elevated, confidence will be restored this nation will rise triumphant from all the financial ’misfortunes that have beeu afflicting us. On the other hand, we aro told that if the free coiuage of stiver is allowed, all the wheels of business will revolve, the poor man will havs a better chance, and all our industries will begin to hum and roar. During the last six presidential elections I have beeu urged to enter the political arena, but I never have and never will turn the pulpit in which I preach into a politibal stump. Every minister must do as he feels called to do, and I will not criticise him for doing what he considers his duty; but all the political harangues from pulpits from now until the 3d of November will not In all the United States change one vote, but will leave many ears stopped against anything that such clegryineu may utter the rest of their lives. Asa general rule, the laymen of churches understand politics better than the clergy, because they (the laymen) study politics more than the clergy, and have better opportunity of beiug intelligent on those subjects. But good morals, honesty, loyalty, Christian patriotism, and the Ten Commandments—these we must preach. God says distinctly in the Bible: "The silver and the gold are mine,” and He will settle the controversy between those two metals. If ever this country needed Divine rescue it needs it now. Never within my memory have so many people literally starved to death as in the past few months. Have you noticed iu the newspapers how many men and women here and there have been found dead, the post mortem examination stating that the cause of death was hunger? There is not a day that we do not hear the crash of some great commercial establishment, and us a consequence many people are thrown out cf employment. Among what we considered comfortable homes have come privation and close calculation and an economy that kills. Millions of people who say nothing about it are at this moment at their wits’ end. There are millions of people who do not want charity, but want work. The cry has gone up to the ears of the “Lord of Sabbath,” and the prayer will be heard and relief will come. If we have nothing better to depend on than American polities, relief will never come. Whoever- is elected to the presidency, the wheels of government turn so slowly, anl a caucus in yonder white building on tlie bill may tie the hands of any president. Now, though we who live in the District of Columbia can not vote, we cau pray, and ray prayer day and night shall be: “Oh, God, hear the cry of the souls from under the altarl Thou who hast brought the wheat and corn of this season to such magnitude of supply, give food to man and beast. Tliou who hadst not where to lay Thy head, pity the shelterless. Thou who has brought to perfection the cotton of the south aud the flax of the north, clothe the naked. Tliou who hast filled the mine with coal, give fuel to the shivering. Bring bread to the body, intelligence to the. mind, and salvation to the soul of ail the people! God save the nation!” But we must admit it is a hard gate to push back.. Millions of thin hands have pushed at it without making it swing on its hard hinges. It is u gnte made out of empty flour barrels, and cold fire grates, aud worn out apparel, aud cheerless homes, and unmcdicated sickness, and ghastliness and horror. It is a gate of struggle. A gate of penupy. A gate of want. A gate of disappointment. A red gate, or what Isaiah would have called a gate of carbuncles. My hearers. It will be a great Heaven for all who get through, but the best Heavan for those who bad ou earth nothing but struggle. Blessed all those who, before they entered the gate of pearl, passed through the gate of carbunclel Oxlt the man who given hoping for nothing again, Wild gives tr- eiy. without cakralation, ontoT tho'fullness of bis heart-nan fiml his love returned to him.— 6.
