TALMAGETS SERMON 'Bigotry ant the XtUb ot Sectarian

Ill bis fifth sermon at “The Hampton*” Bee. T. Dewitt Talmage dealt with “Bigots,” taking (or his text: ..Then said they unto him. '8sy now 8hlhboletb.and he esM Slbboleth, for tie could not frame to proaonnee it right. Then the* took him. and slew him at the passages or Jordan .- SMgaa, xA.k. f Do yon notice the difference of, prouunciation between shibboleth and slbboleth? A rery small and unimportant difference, yon say. And yet that difference was the difference between life and death for a great many people. The Lord’s people, GUeadsnd Ephraim, got into a great fight, and Ephraim was worsted, and on the retreat came to the river Jordan to cross. Order war- given that all Epbraimites coming there be slain. Bu^-iiow could it be found out who were Kphraimites? They were decided by their pronunciation. Shibboleth was a word that stood for river. The -Ephraimlte* had a brogue of their own, and when they tried to say ahibboleth always left out the sound of the “h.” When it was asked that they sayshibboleth they said slbboleth, and were aiain. Then said they onto him. "Say now Shibboleth and he said Slbboleth, tor he could not frame to pronounce it right Then they took him, and slew him St the passage of JorA very small difference, yon say, be--i". I ween Gilead and Ephraim, and yet bow ranch intolerance about that small difterrace. The Lord’s tribes in our tinie-^, by which I mean the different denominations of Christians-sometimes magnify a very smalt difference, and the only difference between scores of denominations to-day Is the difference between shibboleth and slbboleth. ; . The Church of God is divided into H great number of denomination,. Tima would fall me to toll of the Calvinist*, and the Arniinians, and the Sabbatarians, and the Baxtertans, and the Hunkers, and the Hbakers, and the Quakers, and the Methodists, and the Baptists, and the Episcopalians, and the Imtherans, and the Congregational! sts, and the Presbyterian*.' and the .Spiritualists, and a score of other denominations of religionists, some of thenjy founded by very good men, some of thfin fonnded by vary ‘'egotistic men, and* some of them founded by very bad nifki. But as 1 demand few myself liberty of cohi science, 1 must give that same liberty (o > every other man, remembering that hejto more differs from me than I differ from him. 1 advocate the largest liberty in air religions belief and form of warship. Jv art, in fwlitics, in morals and In religion let there he no gag law, no moving of The iwevious question, no persecution, no jjntolernnrc. You know that the air and the water keep pure by constant, circulation, and I* think therei is a tendency in religions if istussion to purification and moral beaUh. Between the fourth and sixteenth centuries the church proposed to make peof>fr think aright by prohibiting discussion and by strong censorship of the press, and by rack, and gibbet. and hot lead down the throat, tried to make .people orthodox: but it was discovered that yon can not -4 ••hango a man’s helief by twisting off his head, and that you can not make a man see things differently by patting an awl through his eyes. There Is something in a man’s conscience which will hurl off the mountain which you throw upon it, and, upstaged of the Are, out of the flame will make red wings on which the martyr will i mount to glory. « In that time of which I s|»eak, between the fourth and sixteenth centuries, people went from the house pf Mod into the most appalling iniquity,and right along bysepn, serrated attars there were tides of drunk- , enness nnd licentiousness such astbe world never heard of, and the very sewers of. perdition broke loose and flooded -Him. church. After awhile the printing press was freed, aml.it broke the shackles of the human mind. Then there came a large num.lwr of had bo«iks,-bpt where there was one man hostile to the Christian rvUgp#). there were twenty men ready to advocate It: so 1 have not any nervousness in regard to this liattle goipg on lietween truth and error. The truth will conquor just as certainly as that God is stronger than the dfAii. I«et Error run if you only let Truth«aa along with it. Urged on by skeptic*# about aud transcendentalist’s spur, let it run. God’s angels of wrath are la hot pursuit, and quicker than an eagle’s heak Clutches out a hawk’s heart, God’s vengeance will tear It tOpieoe*. • I propose this morning to speak k) px of sectarianism—its origin, its evils-add its cure*. There 4r* those who Would' make us think that this monster, wltfg horn, and hoofs, is religion. I shaUtuhqan. It to ft# hiding-place and drag it oui c4 t Sira varns of darkness, and rip off itar Ahhc But I want to make a distinction between bigotry and the lawful fondness for j^qnliar religions beliefs and forms of w oeahlp. I have no. admiration for a nothingarian. In a world of such tremendous vicissitudes and temptation, aud with a soul that must after awhile stand before a throne of insufferable Mghtneks, In a day w hen the rocking of the mountains anif the flaming of the hearens, aud t^e Upheaval of the sea shall be among \be least of the excitements, to give account for every thought, word, action, preference an<l dislike—that man is mad .'fleho, has no religions preference. But our ear • ly education, our physical temperament, our mental constitution, will very much deride our form of worship. A style of psalmody that may please the may displease you. Bone would like to have a minister in gown, and bands, and surplice, and others prefer to have a minister in plain citisen’s apparel. Hpqp a* ’most impressed when a 'little child is prt^ sentrd at the attar and sprinkled of the waters of a holy benediction “la the name of the Father, and of the Bon. and of the Holy Ghoat”; and others are more impressed when the penitent comes up out atthe river, his garments dripping with the waters of a baptism which Signifies the washing away of sin. Let either have bis way. One man likes no noise in prayer— not a word, not a whisper. Another man. just atqgood, prefers, by gesticulation and - exclamation, to express his devotions! aspirations. One is just as good as the other. “Every man fully persuaded In his own mind.”

Ueorge n bWOHil was gome over a Quaker rather roughly for tomt of hi* religious sentiments, and the Quaker said: “I aiu as thou art: 1 am for bringing all men to the hope of the Gospel; therefore, if thou trill not quarrel with me alrtul my broad Isrim, I will not quarrel with thdr about thy (dark gown. George, give me thy hand." In treeing oat the religion of seats rtanistn or bigotry, 1 fluil that a great deal of it connee from wrong education in the home circle. There are parents whq do not think it wrong to caricature, ajtd jeer the peculiar forms of religion' in the woe Id, Sind denounce other sects and other denominations. U is rery oQeiuthe case that that kind of education acta opposite to what it is expected, and thw children grow up,and, after awhile, go gad see fqf themseires; and looking im; those charchca, and (lading that the pseple aae good there, and they lore God and. keep1 His commandments, by natural reaction they go and join those rery churches. I could mention the asmee of ^tajdaett ministers at the Gospel who "have spent, their whole life bomburdtng other <dea*nt nations, sad urho lived to see theta^%Udr*li preach tike Gospel in those rery clcnomi- ■ usIkmu, Bat It is often the ease that bigotry starts in a household, and that the •abject never recovers. There are teas at thousands at bigoSs tan years old. 1 tlifni. sectarianism and bigotry also rise from too greet prominence of anyone denomination ia a community. All the * i is the OKMt sreslthy, or the most ■ al, and- St is I "oar" religious organon, and “our” choir, aad “our” minhis h#&d Mid i to know their ettor in *«y

1 community when the great denominations 1 of Christians are about equal in power, marching side by side for the world’s conquest. Here outside prosperity, mere worldly power, is no evidence that the church 1s acceptable to God. Better a barn with Christ in the manger than a cathedral with magntn<*nl harmonies rolling through the long-drawn aisle, and an angel from Heaven in the pulpit, U there he no Christ in the chancel and no Christ in the robes. Bigotry is often the child of Ignorance. You seldom find n man with large-in-tellect who is a bigot. It is the man who thinks he knows a meat deal, but does not. That man is almost always a bigot. The whole tendency of education and civilisation is to bring a man out of that kind of state of mind and heart. There was in the far Hast a great obelisk, and one side of the obelisk was white, another side bt the obelisk was green, another side of the obelisk was bine, and travelers went and looked at that obelisk, but they did hot walk around it. On* man looked atone side, another at another aide, and they cauie borne, each one looking at only one side; and thus:- happened to meet, the story says; and they got into a rank -quarrel atanrt the color of that obelisk. Otie man said it was white, another man ' said it wak great), another tnan said it was 1 blue, and when they were in the Very heat of the controversy a more intelligent traveler came, aud saidt ’'Gentlemen, f have seen todt ol-ehsk and-yon drt all -rigid, and- yoo are all wrong.

Ho thstu for egploratidn, no spirit of investigation. rtWm'tbe glorious realm of God’s truth, over which an archangel might fly •from .eternity to eternity and. not reach the limit, the man shuts himself out and dies, a Mind mole under a corn-shock. If stops all investigation. While each' denomination of the Cbrikthuis.D to. present all the truths of tKF- BihlCj It sennas hr-me that God has gijres'to each’ denomination an especial mission to give' partipplai' emphasis to someone doctrine; and so the Cal vinistie churches nuist | i iwrn* the sovereignty of Uod.msd'the Anninian cbarche* must pre.sent man’s free agency,' iiiM the'Episcopal cbawfacs-must present the importance of order and solemn eerrsaony, and . the Baptist churchek.

Individual member, . .and the i|fth.>Oirt Cbbr. il must shew what holy eufhuHlssm, hearty ‘congdegatiotaal singing can accomplish. ' While each denomination of Christians must sat forth all the doctrines of the Bible, 1 feel it if especially incumbent u|>on each denomination to pat particular emphasis on some one doctriue. Another great damage done by the l let. tarinnlsm and bigotry of tbe church istfiai it disgusts people with. the Christian religion. Sow, mv friends, the Churah of God was never intended for a war harrafr.; People are afraid of a riot. You go down tbe.street, and yon see an excitement, and missiles .flying through tbe air. and hear the shock of- firearms. Do you, ffa# peaceful and industrious citixen, go through that street! “Oh, no!” you will say:' •S’ll go around the block.” Now. men come abd look upon this narrow path to Heaven, And. sometimes see the oral feiasti cal fari ok hateflying ovary whither, .Apd 'they i say; "Well, I •Rue*" Tflkt**? thf Iwfcad road;*-it. it 1s so rough, and there is so much sharp ^hooting on the narrow road, 1 guess I’ll -try the tiroad road.” Francis I. an hated the Lutherans that he skid if be thought there-was one drop of Luthers/i likud in hit veins he’ Would puncture'them and Im that,drop outs Just as long as there is so much hostility hrtwaen denomination and denomination, or between one professed Christian and another,'just so-long men will be disgusted with tbe tdirlstian religion, and say: “If ! that is feiigioa i want uanp of it.” - Again, bigotry and se>.-tarianism do I grtw^damsge in tbe fact that they hinder ( the trtanU’b of the GospeL Ufa, how much • waWed ammmdtlon, how many men of j sph niUd lijtrlftyt hay* given, their whole I life to controversial ‘ diftpdtes; * when, if they had given their life to some thing. | practical they might have been vast ly'o*e* fol.

BWiaes mat. u you vani to duiiu up any dFnomiuation.vuu will wrer build it up hv trying to pull some other down. InUMerence never put anything down. How much has intolerance accomplished, fhr instance, against the Methodist Chorch?t For long years her ministry were forbidden the pulpits of (treat Britain, j Why was it that so many of them preached m the fields? Simply because they could not get in the churches. And the name of the Chdrch was given in derision and as a sarcasm. The critics at the Church said: “They have no order; they have uo method in their worship:” apd the critics, therefore, in irony called them “Methodists." - 1 am told that in Astor Library,.Seer,. Turk, kept as curiosities, there are sereh hundred and seven hooks and pamphlets' against Methodism. Did intolerance stop that Church? Mo; it is either first or second amid the denominations of Christendom, bar missionary stations in ail parts of tbe-srocid, her men not only important in religions trusts, hut .important also in secular trusts.' Church matching on. and the wore intolerant agklnst it, the faster it marched.. 7^ - What did intolerance acsomptyth against the $apti*t Church? . M laogMug, eooru and tisade coaid havw destroyed the Chgrifc it*would aotkUve-te-day a disci•ple left. The'Baptists were hurled out It Boston in olden time*. Those who sympathised with them were confined, and when a petition was offered asking leniency in their behalf, all the man who signal it ware indicted. Has intolerance stopped the Baptist Church? The last statistics in regard to it showed about thirty thousand churches and twenty-fire hundred thousand communicants. Intolerance never pat down <TaBugtimda law was mad a nsiti Jaw. England thrust back the Jew and thrust down the Jeer, and declared that no Jew should hold official position. What came of it? Were the Jews destroyed? Was their religion overthrown? No. Wlw became Prims Miaitsr c* to*

What were, we eelebrating in all out churches as well as synagogue a tew year* ago? The one hundredth birthday anniversary of Montedore, the great Jewish philanthropist. Intolerance never yet pnt down any thing. Bat now, my tricuds, having shown you the origin of bigotry or sectarianism, and having shown yon thiv damage,it does, I want brieAy to show you kw'tt are to war against this terrible evil, and I think we ought t« begin onr war by real* bring Our own weakness and! our imperfections. If we make so many mistakes in the common affairs of life, is it not possible that we brake mistakes id regard to our religious affaire? Bhatl we take a man by the throat or by. the collar because he Caivnot see religious truths just as we do? In the light of eternity it wffl he found, I think, there was something wrong in all our creeds, and something right in all our cregd*-. But sinj* we. nugr mats mistakes ia regard to things m tl»c world, do not let tii be egotistic and so puffed up •s to have an idea that we can not make agy mistake in regard to religious theories. And than 1 think wu will,do a great deal to overtM"ow sectarianism from our heart, and the sectarianism from the world, by » enlarging upon those idlings ia we agree rather than those on ■W*Jo* we differ, r.. '«__ „ , Now, here is a great gospel jdatform. A baby spriuhtinp.” Shall 1 shore him off? Here is a man coming up on this tide the platform, and, he says: “I don’t .believe in the 'perseverance of the saints.” . Khali 1 shove him off? N<v 1 wfil say. “Do-you believe in the Isird JeSus and your Saviour*, Do yon trust ia hint for tipie and eteruifcrf” He says, “yes.* **Dbyou take'Cbristror time .and for eternity?” “Yes.” I say, “Come on, brother; one in time and one In e*ernitth brother now, brother forever.” Blessed be Hod for a Gospel'platform so large that all who receive Christ may stamrim it!

1 Hum we [drt oyeriumw me severe sectarianism and bigotry in our hearts, ami in the church also, by realising that all the denominations of Christians have yielded noble institutions and noble men. There is nothing that so stir* my soul as this thought. One denomination yielded a, ttobertHnll and an Adoniram Judaon; another yielded a Latimer, and a Melville: another yielded John Wesley ai\d-the Messed Stnnraerfield. while our own denominations yielded John Knox and the AUtxaaders-rmen of whom the world was not worthy. Now, I say if we are honest and fair-minded men, when we come up in the presence of such churches and such denominations, although they may be different from our own, we ought to admire them, and we ought te love and honor them. Churches which produce such m«u, >nd such lutge-heartod -ehariffv ahd fuch magnificent marts-rdem, ought to wsmduFaffection—atnoT rate our respect. So come on ye 400,000 Episcopalians in this country, and ye SB0,000 Presbyterians, and ye 2,800,000 Baptists, and ve 8,780.000 Methodistscome on, shoulder to shoulder we will march for the world's conquest: for all nations are to l>e saved, and Cod demands that you and 1 help do it Porward, the whole line. H9ve*ver, we may also - overthrow the feeling Of scV%re' sectarianism by joining ’ other denominations in Christian work. I likwwhen the:sprang Ume regies and the aii|iiver*tfy occasions bejnn aadrall denominations cotne ujxm the same platform. That overthrows sectarianism. In the i'qmig-'Slen’s Christian Association, in the, Bible Npciety, in the Tipct -Society, in the Foreign Usisionury Society, shoplder to -shoulder -ail denominations. Perhaps 1 might ipjirt forcibly; - ittuntrate this truth .hft-ca!biag‘-year attention to an.incident which took place fourteen or fifteen years ago. One Monday morn i n at about two o'clock, while her l ne hundred passengers were sound asleep in her berths dreaming of home, the steamer Atlantic crashed into Mars' Head. Five hundred souls in ten minutes landed in eternity* Oh, what a scene! Agonised men and women running up and down the gangways and clutching for the rigging, and the plunge of the helpless steamer and the clapping of -the hands of the merciless sea over the drowning and the dead, threw two continents into terror. But see this bqave quartermaster pushing out with the life-line qntiljJi? gets'to the rock: and see these fishermen gathering up the shipwrecked, and taking them into the cabins, and (Trapping them jn the flan'nets snug and warm: and■ see'that minister of the gospel,- with three other men, getting Into a life-boat and pushing out for the wreck, pulling away aeroas the surf, ;ainil pulling away until they saved one "mife man, and then ceUm^beclf with him 'to the shore.
