TALMAGE’S SERMON. ▲ 8ttaring Appeal for a Great National Revival, T* Have It* Bcirtaulaf la Washington and Sweep the Coen try—A Revival of Forty Tm« Ago at the Nation** Capital. Rev. T. DeWitt Talm&ge made the following' appeal for a national revival of religion to his Washington congregagation, which included many of the chief men of the nation, taking for his text: Bectnntng at Jerusalem.— Luke xxiv., 47. ‘‘There it is,’* said the driver, and we all instantly and excitedly rose in the carriage to catch the first glimpse of Jerusalem, so long the joy of the . whole earth. That city, coronetted 6 with temple and palace,-and radiant, whether looked up at from the valley of Jehoshaphat or gazed at from adjoining hills, was the capital of a great nation. Clouds of incense had hovered over it. Chariot of kings had rolled through it. Battering rams of enemies had thundered against it.* There Isaiah prophesied, and Jeremiah lamented, and David reigned, and Paul preached, and Christ was martyred. Most interesting city ever built [ since masonry rung its first trowel, or plum tine measured its first wall or royalty swung its first scepter. What Jerusalem was to the Jewish kingdom,'Washington is to onr own country—the capital, the place to which all the tribes come up, the great national heart whose throb sends life or death through the body politic, clear out to the geographical extremities. ^ What the resurrected 'Christ said in my text to His disciples, when.He ordered them to start on the work of gospelization, ‘‘beginning at Jerusalem.*’ it seems to me God says now. in His providence, to tens of thousands of Christians in this city. Start for the evangelization of America. , “beginning at Washington.” America is

w uc iui\ru iui . w\Ai. ax you do not believe it. take your hat notv and leave, and (rive room to some man or woman who does believe it. As surelj- as (iod lives, ami He is able to do as lie says He will, this country will be evangelized from the mouth of the Potomac to the mouth of the Oregon, from the highlands of the Never&ink to the Golden Horn, from Baffin's bay to the gulf of Mexico, and Christ will walk every lake, whether bestormed or placid, and be transfigured on every mountain, and the night «kiesi whether they hover over groves of magnolia or over Alaskan glacier, shall be filled with angelic overture of “Glory to God and good will to men." ^ Again and again doe's the Old Book announce that all the earth shall see the salvation of God. and A. the greater includes the lesser, that takes America gloriously in. Can you not ] see that if America is not taken for j God by His consecrated people, it will ; be taken for Apollyon! The forces en- j gaged on both sides are so tremendous that it can not be a drawn battle. It is doming, the Armageddon! Either the American Sabbath will perish and this nation be handed over to llerods, and Hildebrands, and Diocletians. and i Neros of baleful power, and alcohol- j ism will reign, seated upon piled-up throne of beer barrels, his mouth foam-! ing with domestic and national curse, ; and crime will lift its unhindered knife ! of assassination, and rattle keys of worst burglary, and wave forth the | widest conflagration, and our cities be ■ turned into Sodoms. waiting for Al- j mighty tempests of fire and brimstone, j and one tidal wave of abomination will j surge across the continent, or our Sab- 1 baths will take on more sanctity, and ; the newspapers will become apoea- ( lyptic wings of benediction, and ^ penitentiaries will be abandoned for lack of occupants, and holiness and happiness, twin son and daughter j of Heaven, shall walk through the land, and Christ reign over this nation, either in person or by agency so glo-1 rious that the whole country will be one dear, resounding echo of Heaven. It will be one or the other. By the throne of Him who liveth forever and ever. 1 declare it will be the latter. If the Lord will help me, as He always does—blessed be His glorious name!—I will show you how a mighty work of | grace begun at Washington would have a tendency to bring the whole continent to God. and before this century

closes. William the Conquerer ordered the curfew, the custom of ringing the bell at midnight, at which all the fires on the hearths were to-be banked, and ail the lights extinguished, and all the people retire to their pillows. I pray God that the curfew of this century . may no be sounded, and the fires be banked, and the lights extinguished, as the clock strikes the midnight hour that dirides the nineteenth eentury from the twentieth century, until this j beloved land, which was to most of us a cradle, and which will be to most of ns a grave, shall come into the full possession of Him who is so glorious that Wiliam the Conqueror could not be compared to Him, even the one w|so rideth forth “conquering and to conquer.*’ . Why would it be especially advantageous if a mighty work of grace started her^I ‘‘beginning at Washington?" First, because this city is on the border between the north and the south. It is neither northern nor southern. It commingles the two climates. It brings together the two styles of population. It is not only right, but beautiful, that people should have especial love for the latitude where they were born and 'brought up. With' what loving accentuation the Alabamian speaks of his orange groves!' And the man from Massachusetts is sure to let you^know that he comes from the land of the Adamses—Samuel, and John, and John Qnincy. Did yon ever know a Virginian or Ohioan whose face did not brighten when he announced himself from the southern or northern state of presidents? If a man dees

not like his native clime, it is because. while he lived there, * he did not behave welL This capital stands where, by its locality audits political influence, it stretches forth one hand toward the north and the other toward the south, and a mighty*work of grace starting here would probably be a national awakening. Georgia would clasp the hand of New Hampshire, and Maine the hand of Louisiana, and California the hand of New York, and say: “Come, let us go up and worship the God of Nations, the Christ of Golgotha, the Holy Ghost of the pentecostal three thousands.” It has often been said that the only way the north and the south will be brought into complete accord is to have a war with some foreign nation, in which both sections, marching side by side, would forget everything but the foe to be overcome. Well, if you wait for such a foreign conflict, you will wait until all this generation is dead, and perhaps wait forever. The war that will make the sections forget past controversies is a war against unrighteousness, such as a universal religious awakening would declare. What we want is a l battle for souls, in which about forty r million northerners and southerners ! shall be on the same side, and shoulder to shoulder. In no other city on the I continent can such a war be declared so appropriately.for all the other great | cities are either northern or southern. This is neither, or, rather, it is both. Again, it would be especially advantageous if a mighty work of grace started here, because more representative men are in Washington than in any other city between the oceans. Of course there are accidents in politics, and occasionally there are men who get into the senate and house of representatives and other important places who are fitted for the positions in neither head nor heart: but this is exceptional and more exceptional now. than in other days., There is not a drunkard in the national legislature, although there were times when Kentucky. Virginia. Delaware, Illinois. New York and Massachusetts had men in senate or house of representatives who went maud- j

hn and staggering drunk across j those higli places. Never nobler group of men sat in senate or house oflropresentatives than&at there yesterday and will sit there to-radr-^ row. while the highest judieiary. with-T out exception, has now upon its bench men beyond criticism for good morals and mental endowment. So in all departments of official position, with here and there an exception, are to-day the brainiest men and most honorable men of America. Now. suppose the Holy Ghost power should fall upon this city, and these men from all parts* of America should snddenly l>ecome pronounced for Christ! Do you say the effect would be electrical? More than that-. - it would be omnipotent!. Do you say 'that such learned and potent men are not wrought upon by religious influence? That shows that you have not observed what has been going on. Commodore Foote, representing th& pavy; Gen. Grant and Robert EL Lee, representing the northern and southern armies; - Chief Justice Chase, representing the supreme court; the Frelinghuysens, Theodore and Frederick, representing the United States senate. William Pennington and scores of others representing the house of representatives, have surrendered to that Gospel which, before this winter is out. will, in this capital of the American nation, if we are faithful in our prayers and exertions, turn into the kingdom of God men of national and international powyr, their tongues of eloquence becoming the tongues of .fire in another Pentecost. There are on yonder hill those who by the grace of G« *1 will become John ' Knoxes, and Chrysostoms, and Fenelons. and llourdeleaus, when once regenerated. There is an illusion I have heard in prayer meetings and hr pul- j pits, that a soul is a soul—one j soul wortn as much as another, j I deny it. The soul of a man who can bring l.nuo or 10,000 other, souls into the kingdom of God is worth j 1,000 times or KUJ00 times more than the soul of a man who can bring no ; one into the kingdom. A great out- j pouring of the Holy Spirit in this cap- . ital. reaching the qhief men o? America, would be of more value to earth and Heaven than in any other part of j the nation, "because it would reach all ! the states, cities, towns and neighbor- J hoods of the continent. Oh. for the ! tout st retched right arm of < iod Almighty in the salvation of the capital.

some oi us remember 1S5., wnen at... the close of our worst monetary distress this countay has ever felt, com- ; pared with which the' hard times of the j last three years were a boom of prosperity, right on the heels of that complete prostration came an awakening in which 500,ff&) people were converted in different states of the union. Do you know where one of its chief powers was demonstrated? in Washington. Do you know on what street?vThis street. Do you know in what church? This church. I picked up an. old book a few days ago. and wasstartled, ahd thrilled, anld enchanted to read these words, ! written at that time by the Washing- j ton correspondent o£a New York paper. J He wrote! “The First T*resbyterian j church can scarce’ contain the people. Requests are daily preferred for j an interest in the prayers offered, and ■ tips reading of these forms one of the tenderest and most - effective features of the meetings. Particular pains are taken to disclaim and’ exclude everything like sectarian feeling. General astonishment is felt at the unexpected rapidity with which the work has thus far proceeded, and we are beginning to anticipate the necessity of opening another ^church." Why. my i hearers, not have that again, f and more than that? There are I many thousands more of inhabitants | now than then. Besides that, since then the telephone, with its semi-pres-ence. and the swift cable car, for assembling the people. I believe that the mightiest .revival of religion that i this city has aver seen is yet to come,

and the earth will tremble from Capitol ine hill to the boundaries on all ddw with the footsteps, of God as He comes to awaken and pardon and save these great populations. People of Washington, meet us next Thursday night# at 7:30 o'clock, to pray for this coming of the Holy Ghost—not for a pentecostal 3,000 that I hare referred to, but 30,000. Such a fire as that would kindle a light that would be seen from the sledges crunching through tne snows of Labrador to the j Caribbean sea, where the whirlwinds j are born. Let our cry be that of j Habakkuk. the blank verse poet of the | Bible: “Oh. Lord, revive Thy work i in the midst of the years; in the I midst of the years make known: in wrath remember mercy.” Let the bat* j tie-cry be: Washington for God! the j United States for God! America for God! the world for God! We are all i tired of skirmishing. Let us bring on \ a general engagement. We are tired of fishing with hook and line. With one sweep of the Gospel net let us j take in many thousands. This vast j work must begin somewhere. Why | not here? Some one must give | the rallying cry. Why not I, one ! of the Lord's servan ts? By providential arrangement, lam every week in sermonic communication with every city, town and neighborhood of this country, and 1 now give the watchword to north and south, and east and west. Hear and see it, all people—this j call to a forward movement, this call j to repentance and faith, this call to a , continental awakening. This generation will soon be out of sight. Where are the mighty men of ; the past who trod your Pennsylvania avenue and spake in your national i legislature, and decided the stupendous questions of the supreme judiciary? Ask the sleepers in the congressional cemetery. Ask the mausoleums all over the land. Their tongues are speechless, their eyes closed, their arms folded, their opportunities gone, their destiny fixed. How soon Time prorogues parliaments, and adjourns senates, and disbands cabinets, and empties, pulpits, and dismisses generations! What we would do we must do quickly or not do at all. I call upon people who cau hot come forth from their sick-beds to implore the heavens in.our behalf from their midnight pillows, and 1 call upon the aged who can not. even by the help of their staff, enter the churches, to spend

lllffir Ufr&tfc uav5 uu canu aajr plicating the salvation of this nation, and I call upon all men and women who have been in furnaces of trouble, as was Shadrach..and among lions, as was Daniel, and in dungeons of trouble, as was Jeremiah, to join in the prayer, and let the church of God everywhere lay hold of the Almighty arm that moves nations. Then sena- : tors of the United States will announce j to the state legislatures that sent ; them here, and members of the house of representatives will * report to j the congressional districts that elected them, and the many thousands of men and women now and here engaged in many departments of the national service will write home, telling all sections of the I country that 'the Lord is here, and that lie is on the march for the redemption of America. Hallelujah! the Lord is coming! I hear the rumbling of His chariot wheels. I feel on my uheeks the breath of the white horses that draw the victor! I see the flash of His lanterns through the whole night of the world’s sin and sorrow! And now I would like to see this hour, that which I have never seen, but hope to see—a whole audience saved under one flash of the Eternal Spirit. Before you go out of any of these doors, enter the door of mercy. Father and mother, come in and bring your children with you. Newly-mar-ried folks, consecrate your lifetime to ,God. and be married for eternity as well as time. Young man. you will want God before }'ou get through this world, and you want Him now.' Young woman, without God. this is a hard,'world for women. One and all. wherever you sit or stand, I lift ray voice, so that you can hear it, out in the corridors and on the street, and say, in the words of the Mediterranean ship captain: “Call upon thy God% if so be that God • will think upon us, that we perish not,’’ Oh. what news to relate to your old father and mother; j what news to telegraph your friends on the other side of the moutains; \vhat news with which to thrill your loved ones in Heaven! It was such news that a man read in a noonday meeting in Philadelphia. He arose .and unfolding a manuscript, read:

Wherq'er we meet, you always say What’s the news? what's the news* Pray, what s the order of the day? What’s the news what’s the news? Oh ’ I have got pood news to tell: My Saviour hath done all things well. And triumphed over death and hell. That's the news that’s the news! The Lamb was slain on Calvary.

THE PRODIGAL PARTY. »—iin.i Propensities of the Profllgste Repobll cons. The republican partr, as it chooses to be represented in cc ingress, has two propensities which are, perhaps, more strongly marked than cny others. One is the propensity so to legislate as to enable a few people engaged in pet industries to get rich out of the earnings of other people. The e ther is to make prodigal expenditure ol the money contributed by taxpayers for public purposes. The latter propensity was illustrated signally by the repu dican congress which in 1S90 so increased the expenditures as to convert a surplus of over 5100,000,000 a year into a deficit before the expiration of Harrison’s term. That prodigal congress did its work so well by providing for continuous expenditures which cannot be reduced without breach of faith that the deficit continues. It was so skillful in its prodigality that the receipts are still below the expenditures, although they arc more than sufficient to meet the expenditures of any year after the union unny was paid off and disbanded until the -Heed-McKinley congress made the money fly. We have the same kind of a congress now with Heed at the front and the same propensity manifests itself in spite of all efforts at repression. From a republican source comes the proposal to spend $100,000,000 as fast as possible on coast defenses, and no telling how many millions more for b*j guns and battle ships and all the other means and implements, of wholesale murder. It is Mr. Heed’s chairman of committee who tells the public that there will be liberal appropriations for river and harbor improvements. Everybody knows what that means. Everybody knows it m^ans the appropriation of many millions for useless “improvements”—useless for any other purpose than to enable congressmen to “make themselves solid” with constituencies who measure a man’s statesmanship’ by his success in getting an appropriation for his “deestrick.”

DEVOID OF PRINCIPLE. Conscience! cm Policy of tko Bepwbll— , Babble. There is a manifest disposition on the j»art of numerous republican organs to denounce the democratic party as without any settled financial policy. So far as the administration is concerned it has left, nothing in doubt or uncertainty regarding this matter. Both the president and the secretary of the treasury j hare committed themselves without j equivocation to honest money and a permanent retirement of the legal- \ tender notes. No one has higher authority to speak for the party, or has I been more fearless in doing so. Their ; utterances in this direction are orthodox democracy, and wherever there is dissent within the party ranks there is a departure from the tenets of the true faith. There is no disposition to claim unanimity on this vexed question; but neither cowardice nor considerations of policy have caused the highest official representatives of the party to withhold an honest expression of their views. But why do these same organs fail to tell the country how the presidential | aspirants of the republican party stand ' on the -financial issue? McKinley is j one of the most approachable and volu- j ble of men, but never to a£ interviewei or in his public speeches has he told j what he thinks or knows about the ! monetary question. He has eluded and I evaded with characteristic skill, refus-» ing in any manner to commit himself. Harrison signed the infamous Sherman bill with Its silver-purchasing clause and deliberately plunged the nation into the financial troubles which fol* lowed with no higher motive than to secure the party support of a few silver states. The whole scheme was eon.•eived with that selfish purpose in view and was deliberately carried through by men who knew and afterwards acknowledged that it involved a sacrifice of principle. Reed has dodged front one side of the fence to the other. In this matter he is all things to all men and is governed entirely by a desire to get all the votes possible. Allison has no record in this

This eminently republican chairman proposes to be liberal because he says we have $175,000,000 in t he treasury and are about to have $100,0u0,0-i0 more, borrowed money. With this great pile in the treasury he professes to see no reason why congress should not be liberal in its hppropriations. This free-handed statesman seems tx) h^ve forgotten that during the holidays his party put what they called an “emergency” tariff bill through the house, insisting that 1:he treasury receipts were running behind the expenditures and that more revenue was the one thing needed to relieve the treasury of all its troubles. He seems to have forgotten the outgiving o f the republican party leaders, including himself, when this congress first convened that economy would be the watchword, for the present session, at least, aud that the appropriations would be kept down to the lowest limit consistent with effi

nriii> auuiiuisu tAuuu. The propensity to spend money is so dominating that under its sway all the Cue promises of economy, all the moves in the game of politics and the actual fact of a deficit are forgotten or ignored. If this propensity is irresistible when the treasury is still running behind from $3,000,000 to $4,000,000 a month, if a republican congress will be prodigal when the treasury is in st raits as at present, what would it do if the receipts were at. the Site of $100,000,000 a year more than the necessary expenditures? We may learn from the history of that‘other Reed congress which came in with Harrison and by its spendthrift acts dissipated the large surplus left by Cleve land and created a deficit before the Harrison administration turned over an emptied treasurv to its successor.—Chicago Chronicle. _ -- Senator Tillman made just such a spectacle of himself as was confidently expected. It long since became aa impossibility for him to farther disgrace himself in the eyes of the country, and the speech hat he made falls Hat because of the fac t: that he made it. —Detroit Free Press; -Hon.

connection to which he can point with' pride, for he has voted and talked on all sides of the question with a disregard for consistency that- is simply astounding in a man holding his position and for years having a covetous eye on the . highest office within the gift of the peo'ple. Of ail these men there is not one j who has ^hown any of the courage or ■ the unswerving integrity that has char- <! ccterized President Cleveland, He has j never hesitated to avow his principle when the good of the country was involved and has never modified his views f as a concession to policy. The course of these shifty statesmen who are after the presidency only foreshadows the financial plank of the republican na* tional platform. It will be, as it has been in the past, a straddle, a cunninglydevised bid for votes which the tricky J campaigner* can interpret to suit any community to which he may be talking. These eager republican critics had best look at home.—Detroit Free Press.

Advertising McKinley. We believe that McKinley’s newspaper friends are injuring rather than helping his cause. The Ohio man ought to call of? some of his press agents Every candidate is entitled to liberal use of newspaper ink. Advert ising, in short, pays. Newspapers are largely responsible for the public’s estimate of men, but newspaper readers hate to see a subject continually overdone. In the Associated Press dispatches a few nights ago, for instance, was a report 6f how many times tlje nafne of McKinley had been metioned by speakers in a cer • tain Illinois meeting. Since when has , the Associated Pres3 been* hiring men to count the number of times one candidate’s name was mentioned? Of course the other candidates were mentioned many times, if not as many, but there was no count of that sent through the dispatches.—Iowa: State Register (E§p.). __ ® -Already charges, and counter changes of fraud are being made by the managers of McKinley and Reed.
