TALMAGE’S SERMON, Disasters and Blessings and the 1,988008 They Convey. ■ A Weird Catalogue of Calamities and the Contrasting Blessings air the Age— An Appeal to the Churches lap tah^W Knorgj.

Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage in his recent trip West preached the following sermon at Kansas City, Mo. His subject was “Wonders of Disaster and Blessing,” and his text: I wtU show wonders in the heavens and in the earth.—Joel U„ 30. Dr. Cnnmiing—great and good man— would have told us the exact time of the fulfillment of this prophesy. As I stepped into his studyia London on my arrival from Paris just after the French had surrendered at Sedan, the good doctor said to me: “It is just as I told you about France; people laughed at me because I talked about the seven horns and the vials, but I foresaw all this from the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation. " Not taking any such responsibility In the interpretation of the passage, I simply assert that there is in it suggestions of many things in our time. Our eyes dilate and our heart quickens its pulsations as we read of. events in the third century, the sixth century, the eighth century, the fourteenth century, but there are more far-reaching events crowded into the nineteenth century than into any other, and the last quarter bids fair to eclipse the preceding three-quar-ters. We read in the daily newspapers of events announced in one paragraph and without especial emphasis—of events which a Herodotus, a Josephus, a X enophon, a Gibbon would have 'taken whole chapters or whole volumes to elaborate. Looking out upon time we;must cry out in the words of the text: “Wonders in the heaveifs and in the earth.’t I propose to show you that the time in which we live is wonderful for disaster and wonderful for blessing, for there must be lights and shades in this picture as in all others. Need I argue this day that our time is wonderful for disaster? Our world has had a rough time since by the hand of God it was bowled out into | space. It is an epileptic earth; convulsion after convulsion; of iceberg and fires melting it with furnaces seven huudred times heated. It is a wonder to me it has lasted so long. Meteors shooting by on this side and grazing it, and meteors shooting by on the other side and grazing it, none of them slowing up for safety. Whole fleets and navies and argosies and flotillas of worlds sweeping all about us. Our earth like a fishing smack off the banks of Newfoundland, while the Etruria and Germanic and the Arizona and the City of New York rush by. Besides that, our world has by sin been damaged in its internal machinery, and ever and anon the furnaces have burst, and the walkingbeams of the mountain have broken, aud the islands have shipped a sea and the great hulk of the world has been jarred with accidents that ever find anon threatened immediate demolition. But it seems to us as if our century were especially characterized by disaster, voleauie, cyclonic, oceanic, epidemic^ I say volcanic, because an earthquake is only a volcano hushed up. When Stromboli and Cotopaxi and Vesuvius stop breathing,.let the ; foundations of the earth beware. Seven thousand earthquakes in two centuries recorded in the catalogue of the British Association! Trajan, the Emperor, goes to ancient Antioch, and amid the splendors of his receptieu, is met by an earthquake that nearly destroys the Emperor’s

me. Lisbon, fair anil beautiful at one o'clock on the 1st of November, 1755. in six minutes sixty thousand have perished, and Voltaire writes of them: “For that region it was the last judgment; nothing wanting but a trumpet!” Europe anil America feeling the throb; fifteen hundred chimneyain Boston partly or fully destroyed. But the disasters of other centuries have had their <pwunterpart in our own. In 1812 Caracas was caught iu the grip of an earthquake; in 1822,in Chili, one huudred thousand square miles of land by volcanic force upheaved to four and seven feet of permanent elevation; in 1854 Japan felt the geological agony; Naples shaken in 1857; Mexico in 1858; Medosa, the capital of the Argentine Republic, 1871; Manila terrorized iu 18U3; the Hawaiian Islands by such force uplifted and let down in 1871; Nevada shak-f en in 1871; Antioch in 1872; California in 1872; Ban Salvador in 1873; while in 1883, what subterranean excitement 1 Ischia, an island of the Mediterranean, a beautiful Italian watering-place, vine- { yard clad, surrounded by all natural I charm and historical reminisoence; yonI der Capri, the summer resort of the Roman emperors; yonder Naples, the paradise of art—this beautiful island suddenly toppled into the trough of the earth, eight thousand merry- makers perishing, and some of them so far down beneath the reach of human obsequies that it may be said of many a one of them as it was said of Moses: “The lord buried him.” Italy weeping, all Europe weeping, all Christendom weeping where there were hearts to sympathize and Christians to pray. But while the nations were measI uring that magnitude of disaster, measur- | ing it not With golden rod like that with which the angel measured Heaven, but with the black rule of death, Java, of the j Indian archipelago, the most fertile island of all the earth, is caught in the grip of the earthquake, and mountain after mountain goes down, and city after city, until that island, which produces the j healthiest beverage of all the world, has j produced the ghastliest accident of the I century. One hundred thousand people I dying, dying, dead, dead. But look at the disasters cyclonic. At I the mouth of the Ganges are three islands —the Hattiah, the Sondeep and the Dakin ShabezpoqjP In the midnight of October, 1877, on all those three islands the cry was: “The waters, the waters!” A cyclone arose and rolled the sea over those three islands, and of a population of two hundred and forty thousand, two hundred 1 and fifteen thousand were drowned. Only those saved who had climbed to the top of the tallest trees. Did you ever see a cyclone? Then 1 pray God you may never see one. I saw one qn the ocean, and it swept us eight hundred miles back from our course, and for thirty-six hours daring the cyclone and after it we expected every moment to go to the bottom. They told us before we retired at nine o’clock that the barometer had fallen, but at eleven o’clock at nighlt we were awakened with the shock of the waves. All the lights out! Crash! went all the life-boats. Waters rushing through the skylights down Into the cabin and down on the furnaces until they hissed and smoked in the deluge. Several hundred people praying, blaspheming, shrieking. Our great ship poised a moment on the top of a mountain of phosphorescent fire and then plunged down, down, down, until it seemed as if she would never again be righted. Ah! you never want to see a cyclone at sea. But I was in Minnesota where there was one of those cyclones on land that swept the City of Rochester from its foundations, and took dwellinghouses, barns, men, women, children, horses, cattle, and tossed them into indiscriminate ruin, arid lifted a rail train and dashed it down, t; mightier hand than that of the engineer on the air-brake. Cyclone in Kansas, cyclone in Missouri, cyclone in Wisconsin, cyclone in Illinois, cyclone in Iowa. Baton, prince of the power of the air, never made such cyclonic disturbances as he has in our day. Aatuflnotriflit i* najriii*tfeat<$• pt

the Characteristics of the time in which we live is the disaster cyclonic? But look at the disasters oceanic. Shall I eaH the roll of the dead shipping? Ye monsters of the deep, answer when 1 call your names. Viliedc Havre, the Schiller, City of Boston, the Melville, the President, the Cimbria. But why should I go on cajypg the roll when fiohe of them answer, and the roll is as long as the white could report all the scattered life and all the bleached bones that they rub against in the depths of the ocean, what a message of pathos and tragedy for both beaches! In one storm eighty fishermen perished off the coast of Newfoundland, and sAiole fleets of them off the coast of Ragland. God help the poor fellows at sea, and give high seats in Heaven to the Grace Darlings and the Ida Lewises and the lifeboat men hovering around Godwin's Sands and the Skerries. The sea, owning threi-fonrths of the earth, proposes to capture the other fourth, and is bombarding the land all around the earth. The moving of our hotels at Brlghtou Beach backward one hundred yards from where they once stood, a type of of what is going on all around the world and on every <oast. The Dead Sea rolls to-day where ancient cities stood. Pillars of temples that stood on hills geologists now find three-quarters under the water or altogether submerged. The sea,having wrecked so man/ merchantmen and flotillas, wants to wreck the continents, and henee disasters oceanic. Look at the disasters epidemic. I speak not of the plague in the fourth century that ravaged E urope, and in Moscow and the Neapolitan Dominion and Marseilles wrought such terrors in the eighteenth century, but I look at the yellow fevers, and the choleras, and the diphtherias, and the scarlet fevers, and the typhoid of our own time. Hear the wailing of Memphis and Shreveport, and New Orleans and Jacksonville of the last few decades. From Hurdwar, India, where every twelfth year three million devotees congregate, the caravans brought the cholera, and that one disease slew eighteen thousand in eighteen days in Bossojrah. Twelve thousand in one summer slain by it in India, and twenty-five thousand in Egypt. Disasters epidemic. Some of the fluest monuments in Greenwood and Laurel Hill and Mount Auburn are to doctors wiio lost lives battling with Southern epidemics.

mes&iux ui uosjwi prociatuauuu: uu you not know that nearly all the missionary soeieties have been born in this century* anil nearly all the Bible societies, and nearly all the great philanthropic movements? A secretary of one of the denominations said to me the other day in Dakota: “Yon were wrong when you said oUr denomination averaged a new church every day of the year; they established nine in one week, so you are far within the truth.'* A clergyman of onr own denomination said: “I have just been out establishing five mission stations.’* I tell you Christianity is on the march, while infidelity is dwindling into imbecility. While infidelity is thus dwindling wad dropping down into imbecility and indecency, the wheel of Christianity is making about a thousand revolutions in a minute. AH the copies of Shakespeare, and Tennyson, and Disraeli, and of any ten of the most popular writers of the day, less in number than the copies of the Bible going out front our printing presses. A few years ago, in six weeks, more than two million copies of the New Testament purchased, not given away, but purchased because the world will have It. More Christian men iu high official position to-day in Great Britain and in the United States than ever before. Stop that falsehood going through the newspapers—I have seen it in t wenty—that the .Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States are ail iufidels except jone. By personal acquaintance i know three of them to be old-fashioned Evangelical Christians, sitting at the holy sacrament of onr Lord Jesus Christ, and I suppose that the majority of them are staunch believers in our Christian religion. And then hear the dying words of Judge Black, a man who had been AttorneyGeneral of the United States, and who had been Secretary of the United States, no stronger lawyer of the centnry than Judge Blank—dying, his aged wife kneeling by his side, and he uttering that sublime and tender prayer: “O Lord God, from whom X derived my existence and in whom I have always trusted, take my spirit to Thyself and let Thy richest j blessing come down upon my Mary.’* The most popular book to-day is the Bible, and the mightiest institution is the church, and the greatest name among the nations, and more honored than any other, is the name of Jesos. Wonders of self-sacrifice: A clergyman told me in. the Northwest that for six years he was a missionary at the extreme North, living four hundred miles from a post-office, and sometimes he slept out-of-doors in winter, the thermometer sixty and slxtyfiTa degrees below sero, wrapped in rabbit-skins woven together. I said: “Is it possible? You do not mean sixty and sixty-five degree below xero?’* He said: "I do, and 1 was happy.” All for Christ. Where U there any other being that will rally such enthusiasm? Mothers sewing their fingers off to educate their boys for the gospel ministry. For nine years no luxury on the table until the course through 'grammar school and college and theological seminary be completed. Poor widow putting her suite into the lord’s treasury, the face of emperor or president impressed npon the coin not so conspicuous as the blood with which she earned it. Millions of good men and women, bat more women than men, to whom Christ is every thing. Christ first and Christ last, and Christ forever. Why, this age is not so characterized by invent! on and scientific exploration as it is by gospel proclamation. -Yon can get no idea of it unless you can nng all the church-beils in one chime, and sound all the organs in one diapason, and gather all the congrega tions of Christendom in one Gloria iit Excels!*.

Mighty camp meetings. Mighty Ocean Groves. Mighty CUantauqaas. Mighty conventions of Christian workers. Mighty general assemblies of the Presbyterian church. Mighty conferences of the Methodist church. Mighty associations of the Baptist church. Mighty conventions of the Episcopal church. 1 think before long the beat investments will not be In railroad stocka or Western Union, but in trumpets, and cymbals, and festal decorations, for we are on th® eve of victories wide and world-uplifting. There may be many years of hard work yet before the consummation, but the signs are to me so encouraging that I would not be unbelieving if 1 saw the wing of the apocalyptic angel spread tor its last triumphal flight in this day's sunset; or if to-morrow morning the ocean cables should thrill us with the news that Christ the Lord had alighted on Mount Olivet or Mount Calvary to proclaim universal dominion. O you dead churches, wake up! Throw back the shutters of stiff scclesiasticism and let the light of the spring morning I come in. Morning-for the land. Morning of emancipation. Morning of light and love and peace. Morning of a day in which there shall be no chains to break, no sorrows to assuage, no despotism to shatter, no woes to compassionate. O Christ, descend! Scarred temple, take the crown 1 Bruised hand, take the scepter! Wounded foot, step the throne! “Thine is the kingdom.’' These things I say because 1 want you to be alert. I want you to be watching all these wonders unrolling from the Heavens and the ssrth, God has classified them, whether calamitous or pfowiB* The Mrtee pwpoeta*r. few

cessed la traces that ran not oreak, and in girths that can not slip, and in buckles that can not loosen, and are driven by reins they must answer. I preach no fatalism. A swarthy engines rat one of the depots in Dakota said: “When will yon get on the locomotive and taken ride with usf” “Well,” I said, “now if that suits yout” So I got on one side the locomotive, and a' Methodist minister, who was also invited, got on the other sidt, and between uswere the engineer and stoker. The train started. The engineer had his hand on the agitatdl pulse of the great engine. The stoker Shoveled in the coal and shut the door with a loud clang. A vast plain slipped under ns and the bills swept by, and that great monster on which we rode trembled and bounded and snorted and raged as it buried us on. 1 said to the Methodist minister on the other side of the locomotive: “My brother, why should Presbyterian} and Methodists quarrel about the decrees and free agency? You see that track, that firm track, that iron track; that is the decree. You see this engineer’s arm? That is free agency. How beautifully they work together. They are going to take us through. We could not do without the track, and wo could not do without the engineer.” So I rejoioe day by day. Work for us all to do, and we may turn the crank of the Christian machinery this way or that, for we are free agents; but there is the track laid so long ago no one remembers it; laid by the hand of Almighty God in sockets that no terrestrial or sataalo pressure can ever effect. And along that track the car of the world’s redemption will roll and roll to the Grand Central Depot of the millennium. I have no anxiety about the track. I am only afraid that for our indolence God will discharge ns and get some other stoker and ^some other engineer. The train is going through With us or without us. So, my brethren, watch all the events that are going by. If things seem to tnrn out right, give wings to your joy. If things seem to turn out wrong, throw out the anchor of faith and hold fast:

There is a house in London where Peter the Great of Russia lived awhile when he was moving through the land incognito and in workman’s dress, that he might learn the wants of the people. A stranger was visiting at that house recently, and saw iu a dark attic an old box, and he said to the owner of the house, “What’s in that box!1” The owner said: “I don’t know; that box was there when I got the house and it was there when my father got it. We haven’t had any curiosity to look at it; I guess there’s nothing in it.” “Well.” said the stranger, “I’ll give you two pounds for it.” “Well, done.” The two pounds are paid, and recently the contents of that box were sold to the Czar of Russflt for fifty thousand dollars. In it were the lathing machine of Peter the Great, his private letters aud documents of value beyond all monetary consideration. And here are the events that seqm very insignificant and uuimportent, but they increase treasures offlUvine providence and eternities of meamug which after awhile God will demonstrate before the ages as being of stupendous value. As near as I can tell from what I see, there must be a God somewhere about. Wheu Titans play quoits they pitch mountains; but who owns these gigantio forces you have been reading about the last two months? AVhose hand is on the throttle valve of the volcanoes? Whoso foot suddenly planted on the footstool makes the continents quiver? God! God! He looketh upon the mountains and they tremble. He toucheth the hills and they smoke. God! God! I must be at peace with Him. Through the Lord Jesus Christ this God is miue aud He is yours. I put the earthquake that shook Palestine at the crucifixion against all the down rockings of the centuries. This God on our side, we may challenge all the centuries of time and all the cycles of eternity. Those of us who are in mid-life may well thank God that we have seen so many wondrous things; but there aro people here to-day who will see the twentieth century. Things obscure to us wili be plain to you yet. The twentieth century will be as far ahead of the nineteenth as the nineteenth is ahead of tho eighteenth, and as you carioature the ’ habits aud customs and ignorance of the past, others \\ iil caricature this age. Some of you may live to see the simmering vail between the material and the spiritnal world lifted. Magnetism, a word with which we cover np our ignorance, will yet be an explored realm. Electricity, the fiery coarser of the sky that Benjamin Franklin lassoed and MoTse and Bell and Edison have tried to control, will become completely manageable, and locomotion will be swiftened and a world of practical knowledge thrown in upon the race. Whether we depart in this century, or whether we see the open gates of a more wonderful century, we will see these things. It does not make much difference where we stand, but the higher the standpoint the larger the prospect. We will see them from Heaven if we do not see them from earth. 1 was at Fire Island, Long Island, and 1 went up in the cupola from which they telegraph to New York the approach of vessels hours before they come into port. There is an opening in the wall, and the operator puts his telescope throngh that opening and looks ont and sees vessels far ont at sea. While I was talking with him he went up and looked ont He said: “We are expecting the Arizona to-night.” I said: “Is it possible yon know all those vessels? Do yon know them as you know a man’s fa*?” He said: “Yes, I never make a mistake. Before I sea the hulks I often know them by the masts. I know them all; I have watcljed them so long.” Oh, what a grand thing it is to have ships talegraphed and helhlded long before they come to port, that friends may come down to the wharf and welcome their long-absent loved ones. So to-day we take our stand in the watch-tower and we look off. and through the glass of inspiration or Providence we look off and see a whole fleet , of ships coming in. This is the ship of Peace, flag with one star of Bethlehem floating above the top-gallants. That is the ship of the Church, mark of salt wave high np on the smokestack, showing she has had roughSreather; but the Captain of Salvation commands her, and all is well with her.

The ship of Heaven, mightiest craft ever launched, millions of passengers waiting for millions more, prophets and apostles and martyrs in the cabin, conquerors at the foot of the mast, while from the rigging hands are waving this way as they knew us, and we wave back again, for they are ours; they went out from our own households. Ours! Hail! Hail! Put off the black and put on the white. 8top tolling the funeral bell and ring the wedding anthem. Shut up the hearse and take the chariot Now. the ship comes around the great headland. Soon she will strike the wharf and wo will go aboard her. Team for ships going out Laughter for ships ooming in. Now she touches the wharf. Throw on the planks. Block not up that gangway with embracing longlost friends, for you will have eternity of reunion. Stand back and give way until other millions come on. Fare wen to sin. Farewell to struggle. Farewell to sickness. Farewell to death. All aboard for Heaven.
