THE HOUSEONTHE WALL How It Was Spared When Jericho was De< restated. First DUrotne by Kn. T. Do Witt mintage on HU Batura From Hla Trip to the Holy Land and the Historic Places of the East.

The following discourse was delivered by Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage in the Brooklyn Academy of Music from the text: ,* ■ /. And the young men that were spies went In, and brought out Uahab, and her father, and her mother, and her brethren, and dll that she had.—Josh., vL, 23. When, only a few weeks ago, I visited Jericho, I said: Ca n it be possible that this dilapidated place is the Jericho that Mark Antony gave as a wedding present to Cleopatra? inhere are the groves of palm trees? Where are Herod’s palaces that once stood here? Where is the great theater from the stage of which Salome told the people that Herod was dead? Where is the sycamore tree on the limb of which Zaccheus sat when Jesus passed this place? Where is the wreck of the walls that fell at the blowing of the ram’s horn? But the fact that all these have disappeared did not hinderv^jg^rom seeing in imagination the smash of every thing on the fatal day, save one house on the wall. That scene centuries ago comes back to me as though it were yesterday. There is a very sick and sad house in the city of Jericho. What is the matter? Is it leprosy? No. Worse than that. Is it death? No. Worse than that. A daughter has forsaken her home. By what in fernal plot she was induced to leave 1 know not; but they look in vain for her return. Sometimes they hear a footstep very much like hers, and they start up and say: “She comes!” but only to sink back into disappointment. Alas! Alas! The father sits by the hour, with his face in his hands, saying not one word. The mother’s hair is becoming gray too fast, and she begins to stoop so that those who saw her only a little while ago in the street know her not now as she passes. The brothers clinch their fists, swearing vengeance against the despoiler of their homes. Alas! will the poor soul never come back? There is a long, deep shadow over all the household. Added to this there is an invading army six miles away, just over the river, coming on to destroy the city; and what with the loss of their chLid and the coming on of that destructive army, 1 think the old people wished fliey could die. That is the first scene^in -this drama of the Bible. In a house on the wall Of the city is that daughter. That is her home now. Two spies have come from the invading army to look around through Jericho and see how best it may be taken. Yonder is the lost child, in that dwelling on the wall of the city. The police hear of it, and soon there is the shuffling of feet all around about the door, t.nd the city government demands the surrender of those two spies. First, Rahab—for that was the name of the lost child—fi rst, Rahab secretes the two spies, and gets their pursuers off the track; but after awhile she says to them: “I will make a bargain with you. I will save your life if you will save my life and the life of my father, and my mother, and my brothers, and my sisters, when the victorious army comes upon the city.” O, she had not forgotten her home yet, you see. The wanderer never forgets home. Her heart breaks now as she thinks of how she has maltreated her parents, and she wishes she were back with them again, and she wishes she could get away from her sinful enthrallment; and sometimes she looks up in the face of the midnight, bursting into agonizing tears. No sooner have these two spies promised to save her life and the life of her father, and mother, and brothers, and sisters, than Rahab takes a scarlet cord and ties it around the body of one of the spies, brings him to the window, and as he clambers out—nervous lest she have not strength to hold him— with muscular arms such as woman seldom has she lets him down, hand over hand, in safety to the ground. Not being exhausted, she ties the cord around the other spy, brings him to the window, and just as successfully lets him down to the ground. No sooner have these men untied the scarlet cord from their bodies than they look up and they say: “You had better get all your friends in this house—your father, your mother, your brothers and your sisters; you had better get them iin this house. And then, after you have them here, take this red cord which you have put around our bodies and tie it across the window; and when our victorious army comes up and sees that scarlet thread in the window they will spare this house and all who are in it. Shall it be so?” “Aye, aye,” said Rahab, from the winlow, •‘it shall be so.” f That is the second scene in this Bible drama. There is a knock at the door of the old man. He looks up and says, “Come in,” and lo! there is Rahab, the lost child; but she has ho time to talk. They gather in excitement hround her, and she says to them: “Get ready Tjuickly,- and go with me to my house. The army is coming! The trumpet! Make haste! Fly! The enemy!” This is the third scene in the Bible drama. The hosts of Israel are round about the doomed City of Jericho. Crash! goes the great metropolis, heaps on heaps. The air suffocating with the dust, and horrible with the scrims of a dying city. All the houses flat down. All the people dead. Ah, no. On a crag of the wall—the only piece of the wall left standing—there is a house which we muBt enter. There is a family there that hare been spared. Who are they? Let us go and see. Rahab, her father, her mother, her brothers, her sisters, all safe, and the only house left standing in all the city.

What saved them? was the house more firmly built? Oh, no; it was built in the most perilous place—on the wall; and the wall was the first thing that fell. Was it liecause her character was any better than any of the other population of the city? Oh, no. Why, then, was she spared, and all her houshold? Can you tell me why? Oh, it was the scarlet line in the window. That is the fourth scene in this Bible drama. When the destroying angel went through Egypt, it was the blood of the lamb on the door posts that saved the Israelities; and now that vengeance has come upon Jericho it is the same color that assures the safety of Bahab and all heir household. My friends, there are fpes coming upon us, more deadly and more tremendous, to overthrow our immortal interests They will trample us down and crush us out forever, uhless there be some skillful mode of rescue open. The police! of death already begin to clamor for otfr surrender; but, blessed be God, there is a wajr out It is through the window, and by a rope so saturated with the blood of the cross that it is as red as that with which the spies were lowered; and if once our souls shall be delivered, then, the scarlet cord stretched aortas the window of our escape, we may defy all tombardment, earthly and Satanic. In the first plaoe, carrying out the idea of my text, we must stretch this scarlet cord across the window of our rescue. There comes a time when a man is surrounded. Whatis that in the front door of bis soul? It is the threatenings of the future. What is that in the bftok doc-f pf his soul? |t i* the

sins of the pash He can not get oat of either of thaw doorways. If he attempts it be will be eat to pieces. What shall he do? Escape through the window of God’s mercy. That sunshine has been pouring in for many a day: God’s inviting mercy. God’s pardoning mercy. God’s all-conquering mercy. God’s everlasting mercy. But. you say, the window is so high. Ah, there is a rope, the very one with which the cross and its victim were lifted. That was strong enough to hold Christ, and it is strong' enough to hold you. Bear all your weight upon it, all your hopes for the life that is to come. Escape now through the win low. “But,” you say, “that cord is too small to save me; that salvation will never do at all for such a sinner as I have been.” I suppose that the rope with which Rahab let the two spies to the ground was not thick enough; but they took that or nothing. And, iny dear brother, that is your alternative. There is only one scarlet line that can save you. There have been hundreds and thousands who have been liome away in safety by that scarlet lir e, and it will bear you away in safety. Do you notice what a very narrow escape those spies had? I suppose they came, with flustered cheek and with excited heart They had a very narrow escape. They went in the broad door of sin; but how did they come out? They came out of the window. They went up by the stairs of stone; they came down on a slender thread. And so, my friends, we go easily and unabashedly in sin, and all the doors are open; but if we get out at all it will be by being let down over precipices, wriggling and helpless, the strong grip above keeping us from being dashed on the rocks beneath. It is easy to get into sin, young man. It is not easy 'to get out of-it.

A young man goes to me marine counter ol a hotel. He asks for a brandy smash—called so, I suppose, because it smashes the man that takes it. There is no intoxication in it. As the young man receives it he does not seem to be at all excited. It does not give any glossiness to the eye. He walks home in beautiful apparel, and all his prospects are brilliant. That drink is not going to destroy him, but it is the first step on a Bad road. Years have passed on, a:nd I see that young man after he has gone the whole length of dissipation. It is midnight, and he is in a hotel—perhaps the very one where he took the first drink. A delirium is on him. He rises from the bed and comes to the window, and it is easily lifted; so he lifts it. Then he pushes back the blind s and puts bis foot on the window sill. Then he gives one spring, and the watchman finds his disfigured body unrecognizable, on the pavement. Oh, if he had only waited a little—if he had come down on the scarlet ladder that Jesus holds from the wall for him, and for you, and for me; but no, he made one jump—and was gone. A minister of Christ was not long ago dismissed from his diocese for intoxication, and in a public meeting he gave this account of his sorrow. He said: “I had a beautiful home once, but strong drink shattered it. I had beautiful children, but this fiend of ruin took their dimpled hands in his and led them to the grave. I had a wife—to knovr her was to love her; but she sits in wretchedness to-night while I wander over the earth/ I bad a mother, and the prido of her life was I; but the thunderbolt struck her. I now have scarcely a friend in the world. Taste of the bitter cup I have tasted, and then answer me as to whether I have any hatred for the agency of my ruin. Hate it! I hate the whole damning traffic. I would to God to-night that every distillery was in flames, for then in the glowing sky I would write in the smoke of the ruin: ‘Woe to him that putteth the bottle to his neighbor’s lips.’ ” That minister of the Gospel went in through the broad door of temptation; he came out of the window. And when I see the temptations that are about us in all countries, and when I know the proclivities of sin in every man’s heart, I see that if any of us escape it will be a very narrow escape. Oh, if we have, my Mends, got off from our sin, let us tie the scarlet thread by which we have been saved across the window. Let us do it in praise Of Him whose blood dyed it that color. Let it be in announcement of the fact that we shall no more be fatally assaulted. “There is n$£ no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.” Then let all the forces of this world come up in cavalry charge, and let spirits of darkness come on an infernal storming party, attempting to take our souls,> this rope twisted from these words, “T^he blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth from all sin,” will hurl them back defeated forever. Stull further. We must take this red corcl of the text and stretch it across the window of Households. When the Israelitish army came up against Jericho, they said: “What is that in the window?” Somy'one said: “That is a scarlet line^jJ^O,” said someone else, “that must he the house that was to he spared. Vonlt touch it.” That line was thick enmgh, and long enough, and conspicuous enough to save Rahab, her father, her mother, her brothers and her sisters —the entire family. Have our households asgood protection? You have bolts on the front door and on the back, and fastenings to the window and perhaps burglar alarms, and perhaps

an especial wa ten man mowing ms whiBtle at midnigbt before your dwelling;; but all that can not protect your household. Is there on our houses the sign of a Saviour’s sacrifice and mercy? Is there a scarlet line in the window? Have your children been consecrated to Christ? Have you been washed In the blood of the atonement? In what room do you have family payers? Show me whore it is you are accustomed to kneel. The sky is black with the coming deluge. Is your family inside or outside of the ark? It is a sad thing for a man to reject Christ; but to lie down in the night of sin, aoross- the path to Heaven, so that his family come up and trip over him—that is terrific. It is a sad thing for a mother to reject Christ; but to gather her family around her, and then to take them by the hand and lead them out into the paths of worldliness, away from God and Heaven, alas! alas! There may he geranium and cactus in that family window, and upholstery hovering over it, and childish faces looking out of it, but there is no scarlet thread stretched across it Although that house may seem to he on the best street in all the town or city, it is really on the edge of a marsh across which sweep most poisonous malarias, and it has a sandy foundation, and its splendor will come down, and great will be the fall of it A home without God! A.prayerless father! An undevoted mother! Awful! awful! Is that you? Will you keep on, my brother, on the wrong road, and take your loved ones with you? Time is so short that we can not waste any of it on apologies, or indirections, or circumlocutions. You owe to ygnr children, O, father, O, mother, more than food, more than clothing, more than shelter—you owe them the example of a prayerful, consecrated, pronounced, out-and-out Christian life. You can afford to keep it away from them. Sow, as I stand here, you do not see any hands outstretched toward me, and yet there are hands on my brow and hands on both my shoulders. They are hinds of parental benediction. It is ovite a good many years »f0 ww since

we folded those hands as they began the last sleep on the banks of the Raritan in the Tillage cemetery; bat those hands are stretched oat toward me to-day, and they are just as gentle at when I sat on her knee at five years ol age. And I shall never shake off those hands. I do not want to. They have helped me so much a thousand times already, and I do not expect to have a trouble or a trial between this and my grave where those hands will not help me. It was not a very splendid home, as the world calls it; but we had a family Bible there, well worn by tender perusal; and there was a family altar there, where we|knelt morning and night; and there was a holy Sabbath there; and stretched in a straight line or hang in loops or festoons there was a scarlet line in the window. Oh, thq tender, precious, blessed memory of a Christian home! Is that the impression you are making upon your children? When yon are dead —and it will not be long before vou are —when you are dead will your child say.: " “If there ever was a good Christian father, mine was one. If there ever was a good Christian mother, mine was one.” Still further: we want this scarlet line of the text drawn across the window of our prospects. I-see Bahab and her father, and her mother, and her brothers and sisters looking out over Jericho, the city of palm trees, and across the river, and over at the army invading, and then np to the mountains and the sky. Mind you, this house was on the wall, and I suppose the prospect from the window must have been very wide. Beside that, I do not think that the scarlet line at all interfered with the view of the landscape. The£ assurance it gave of safety must have added to the beauty of the country. To-day, my friends, we sit in the window of earthly prospects, and we look off towards the hills of Heaven and the landscape of eternal beauty. God has 'opened the window for ns, and we look out. We now only get a dim outline of the inhabitants. We now only here and there cateh a note of the exquisite harmony.

tot blessed be God for this scarlet libe in the window. That tells me that the blood of Christ bought that home for my soul, and I shall go there when my work is done. And as I put my hand on that scarlet line, every thing in the future brightens. My eyesight gets better, and the robes of the victors are more lustrous, and our loved ones who went away some time ago—they do not stand any more with their backs to us, but their faces are this way and their voices drop through this Sabbath air, saying with all tenderness and sweetness: “Come! Come! Come!” And the child that you tbink of only as buried— why, there she is, and it is May day in Heaven; and they gather the amaranth, and they pluck the lilies, and they twist them into a garland for her brow, and she is one of the May queens of Heaven. 0 do you think they could See our waving to-day? It is quite a pleasant day, pretty clear, and not many clouds in the sky. I wonder if they can see U3 from that good land? I think they can. If from this window of earthly prospects we can almost see them, then from their towers of light I think they can fully see us. And so I wave them the glory, and I wave them the joy, and I say: “Hive you got through with all your troubles?” and their voices answer: “God hath wiped away all tears from our eyes.” 1 say: “Is it as grand up there as you thought it would be?” and the voices answer: “Eye hath not seen nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for those that love Him.” “Do you have any more struggle for bread?” j “We hunger no more, we thirst no more.” ‘•Have you been out to the cemetery of the golden city?” “There is no death here.” And I look out through the heavens, and I say: “Where do you get your light from nights, and what do you burn in the temple?” and they answered: “There is no night here, and we havr no need of candle or ot star.” “What book do you sing out of ?” “The Hallelujah Chorus.” And I say: “In the splendor and magnificence of the city, don’t you ever get lost?” and they answer: “The Lamb which is in the midst of the throne leadeth us to living fountains of water.” O, how near they seem. Their wings —do you not feel them? Their harps— do you not hear them? And all that through the window of our earthly prospects, across which stretcheth the scarlet line. Be that my choice color forever. Is it too glaring for you? Do you like the blue because it reminds you of the sky, or the green because it makes you think of the foliage, or the black because it has in it the shadow of the night. I take the scarlet because it shall make me think of the price that was paid for my soul. O, the blood! the blood! the blood of the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. I see where you are. You are at the crossroads. The next step decides every thing. Pause before you take it; but do not pause too long. I hear the blast of the trumpet that wakes the dead. Look out! Look out! For in that day, and in our closing moment on earth, better than any other defense or barricade, however high or broad or stupendous, will be one little, thin, scarlet thread in the window.

Telegram. The Partridges Like Him. E. W. Tclrttellott, of Webster, Mass., is strangely beset with partridges, which either have a spite against him or are so fond of him they hunt him up to go slam-bang into his face. Three times last fall partridges loaded with big voltpressure have gone humming through windows with a great clatter of glass and dropped at his feet. In two of the instances the wild intruders plunged on him through a window in his house on School street. One of the birds in coming in to him not only smashed and took along the entire upper sash of the window, but broke the curtaih’ fixture and tore it from its roll, and then Mr. Tourttell'ott, after bis heart had stopped thumping, unrolled the curtain, which was in a lump in the middle of the room, and took out a fine cock partridge that weighed a pound, dead.-Chung* Herald.
