WHAT WE LIVE FOE Dr. T&lmage Preaches on What Our Lives Should Be. The Object of Our EiUtence Down to tbe End Should Be Action —PnradUe U Only for tbo Worker*. 'Washington. No*. 13. — To all those who feel that they hare U9 esptcial mission in the world, this sermon of Dr. Talmage wiH come as a cheering revelation; text, John xviii, 37: “To this end was 1 born.” After Pilate has suicided, tradition -says that his body was thrown into the Tiber, and such storms ensued on and about that river that his body was taken out and thrown into the Rhone 4ind similar disturbances swept that xiver and its banks. Then the body was taken out and moved to Lausanne, and jpuv into a deeper pool, which immediately became the center of similar atmospheric and aqueous disturbances. Though these are fanciful and false traditions, they show the execration with which the world looked upon Pilate! It was before this man, when he was in full life and power, that Curist was arraigned as in the court of oyer end terminer. Pilate said to his prisoner: “Art thou a king, then?” and Jesus answered:- ‘To this end was I born.” Sure enough, although all earth and hell arose to keep him down, he is "tc-day empalaced, enthroned and coror.eted king of earth and king of Heaven. That is what he came for and that is what he accomplished. By the time a child reaches ten years of age the parents begin to discover that child’s destiny, but by the time he or she reaches 15 years of age, the question is on the child’s lips: “What shall 1.1 do? What am I going to be? What

^/was I made for? It is a sensible ana righteous question, and the youth ought to keep asking it until it is so fullv answered that the young man or young woman can say with as much truth as its author, though on a less expansive scale: “To this ertd was I born.” There is too much divine skill shown ir. the physical, mentai and moral constitution of the ordinary human "being /to suppose that he was constructed without any divine purpose. If you take me out on some vast plain and show me a pillared temple surmounted by a dome like St. Peter's an(Kmv»ng a tfloor of precious stones and arches thtft must have taxed the brains of the greatest draughtsman to design, awl walls scrolled and niched and paneled and wainscoted and painted, should ask you what this building was put up lor and you answeprd “For nothing at *11.” how could Ltfelieve you? And it is Impossible foyme to believe that any •ordinary humn being who has in his muscular. nBrvous and cerebral organization more wonders than Christopher “Wren lifted! in St. Paul's, or Phidias ovCr chiseled on the Acropolis, and built in such a way that it shall last long after St. Paul's cathedral is as much a ruin as the IJarthetton.that such a being was constructed for no purpose and to execute no mission, and without any divine intention toward some end. The object of 1 his sermon is to help yut to find out what you are made for and help you tir.d your sphere aud assist you into that condition where you.can say with certainty and emphasis and enthusiasm and triumph: ‘*To this end was I born.” First. I discharge you from all responsibility for most of youre,pnv'ronments. You are not responsible for your parentage or your gnindparentage. you are not responsible for any of the cranks that may have lived in your ancestral line and who a hundred years before you were born may have l{ved a style of life that more or less affects you to-dav. You arc not re

sponsible for the fact that your temperament is sanguine, or melancholic, or bilious, or lymphatic, or nervous. ) Neither are you responsible for the place of your nativity, whether among: the granite bill* of New England, or the cotton plantations of Louisiana, or on «tbe banks of the Clyde, or the Dneiper. I or the Shannon, or the Seine. Neither I are you responsible for the religion . taught in your father’s house, or the irseligion. Do not bother yourself about ■what you cannot help or about circumstances that you did not decreeTake things as they arc and decide the question so that you shall be able safely to say: “To this end I was born." How will you decide it? By direct application to the only Being in the universe who is competent to tell you—the Lord Almighty. Do you knew the reason why He is the only one who can tell? Because He ean see everything lx*tween your cradle and your grave, though the grave be 80 years off. And besides that He is the only Being who can see what has been happening in the last 500 years in your ancestral line, and for thousands of years clear hack to Adam, and there is not one person Inwall that ancestral line of 6,000 years but has somehow affected your character, and even old Adam himself will sometimes turn up in your disposition. The only Being who can take all things that pertain to you into consideration is God. and He is the one you can ask. Life is so •hort we have no time to experiment with occupations and professions. The reason we have so many dead failures. is that paxynts decide for children what they shall do or children themselves, wrought on by some whim or fancy, decide for themselves, without any imploration of Divine guidance. •So we have now in pulpits men making sermons who ought to be in blacksmith shops making plowshares, and we have in the law those who instead of ruining the cases of their clients -ought to be pounding shoe lasts, and -doctors who are the \\orst hindrances to their patients* convalescence, and artists trying to paint landscapes who \ , ought to be whitewashing board fences, while there are others making bricks i

who ought to be remodeling constitutions or shoving planes who ought to be transforming literatures. Ask God about what worldly business you shall undertake untiLyou are so positive you can in earnestness smite your hand on your plow* handle or your carpenter’s bench, or your Blackstone’s “Commentaries,” or your medical dictionary* or your Dr. Dick’s “Didactic Theology,” saying: “For this end was I born.” There are children who early develop natural affinities for certain styles of work. When the father of the Astronomer Forbes waS going to Dondon he asked his children what present he should bring each one of them. The boy who was to be an astronomer erfed out: “Bring me a telescope!” But my subje« now mounts into the I momentous. Let me soy that you are made for usefulness and Heaven. I judge this from the way you are built. j You go into a shop where there is j only one wheel turning and that by n i workman’s foot on a treadle, and you j say to yourself: “Here is something j good being done, yet on a small scale,” j tut if you go into a factory covering many acres and you find thousands of ] bands pulling on thousands of wheels j s»nd shuttles flying and the whole scene bewildering with activities, driven by water or steam or electric j power, you conclude that the factory j was put up to do great work and on a vast scale. .Now, I look at you, and if I should find that you had only one faculty of body, only one muscle, only one nerve, if you could see but not hear, or could hear and not see, if you had the use of only one foot or one hand, and, as to your higher nature, if you had only one mental faculty and you had memory but no judgment, or judgment but no will, and if you had r. soul with only one capacity, I should say not much is expected of you. But stand up, oh, man, and let me look you squarely in the face. Eyes capable of j seeing everything. Ears capable of I

bearing everything. Hands capable of grasping everything. Minds with more wheels than any factory ever turned, more poweVthan any Corliss engine ever moved. A soul that will outlive all the universe except heaven, and would outlive all heaven if the life of the other immortals were a moment short of the eternal. Now, what has the world a right to expect of you? What has God a right to demand of you? God is the greatest of economists in the universe, and He makes nothing uselessly, and for what purpose did He build your body, mind and soul as they are built? There are only two beings in the universe who can answer that question. The angels do not know. The schools do not know. Your kindred ciennot certainly know. God knows, and*y°u ought to know. A factory running at an expense of $500,000 a year and turning out goods worth 70 cents a year would not be such an incongruity as you, O man, with such semi-infinite equipment doing nothing, or next to nothing, in the wav of usefulness. “What shall I do?'* you ask. My brethren, my sisters, do not ask me. Ask God. There’.-, some path of Christian usefulness open. It may be a rough path or it may be a smooth path, a long path or a short path. It may be on the mount of conspicuity or in the valley unobserved, but it is ai path on which you can start with such faith and such satisfaction nnd such certainty that you can cry out in the face of earth and hell and heaven: “To this end was 1 born.”. Do not wait for extraordinary qualifications. Philip, the conqueror, gained bis greatest victories seated on a mule, and if jou wait for some caparisoned Bucephalus to ride into the conflict you will never get into the worldwide fight at all. Samson slew the Lord’s enemies with the jawbone of the stupidest beast created. Shamgar slew 600 Of the Lord’s enemies with an ox goad. Under God spittle cured the blind man's eyes in the New Testament story. Take all the faculty you have and say: "O Ixird. here is what I have! Show me the field, and back me up by omnipotent power. Anywhere, unyhow, any time for God."

It may be helpful if I recite my own experience in this regard. I started for the law without asking any divine direction. I consulted my own tastes. I liked lawyers and courtrooms and judges and juries, and reveled in hearing the Frelinghuysens and the Bradleys Of the New Jersey bar. and as assistant ol the county clerk, at 16 years of age, I searched titles, naturalized foreigners, recorded deeds, received the confession of judgments, swore witnesses and juries and grand juries, but after awhile I felt a call to the gospel ministry and entered it, and I felt some satisfaction in the work; but one summer, when I was resting at Sharon Springs and while seated in the park of that village. I said to myself: “If I have an especial work to do in the world. I ought to find it out now.” and with that determination I prayed as I had never before prayed, and got the divine direction, and wrote it down in my memorandum book, and I saw my life work then as plainly as I see it now. Oh, do not be satisfied with general directions! Get specific directions. Do not shoot at random. Take aim and fire. And now I came to the climacteric consideration. As near as I can tell, yon were built for a happy eternity, all the disasters which have happened to your nature to be overcome by the blood of the Lamb if you will heartily accept that Christly arrangement. We are all rejoiced at the increase in human longevity. People live, as near as I can observe, about ten years longer . than they used to. The modern doctors do not bleed their patients on all occasions as did the formsr doctors. In j those times if a man had fever they bled j him; if he had consumption they bled j him; if he had rheumatism they bled j him, and if they could not make out ex* nctly what was the matter they bled him. Olden time phlebotomy was death's coadjutor. All this has changed Prom the way I see people skipping about at 80 yean of age I conclude that

the life insurance companies will have to change their table of risks and charge a man no more premium at 70 than they used to do when he was 60, ; and no more premium at 50 than when j he was 40. By the advancement of1 medical science and the wider acquaintance with the laws of health and the fact that the people know better now to take care Cf themselves human life is prolonged. But do you realize what, after all, is the brevity of our earthly state? In the times when people lived 700 and 800 years the patriarch Jacob said that his years were few Looking at the life of the youngest per son in this assembly and supposing that he will live to be a ponagenarian, jiow short the time and soon gone, white banked up in front of us is ad eternity »d-vast that arithmetic has not! figures enough io erpi^ss its length, or | breadth, or depth, or height* For a j happy eternity you were born, unless j you run yourself against the divine In-1 tentions. If standing in your presence ! my eye should fall upon the feeblest j soul here as that soul will appear when I the world lets it up and heaven entrances it. I suppose I would be so overpowered that I should drop down as one { dead. You have examined the family Bible and explored the family records, and you may have seen daguerreotypes of some of the kindred of previous gener- I ations. you have had photographs taken I of what you were in boyhood or girlhood, and what you were ten years j later, and it is very interesting to any- J one to be able to look back upon pic- j tures of what he was ten. or twenty, or thirty years ago, but have you ever had | a picture taken of what you may be and what you will be if you seek after God and feel the spirit's regenerating power? Where shall I plant the camera to take the picture? I plant it on 1 this platform. I direct it toward you. i Sit still or stand still while I take the j picture. It shall be an instantaneous

picture. There! I have it. It is done. You can see the picture in its imperfect state and get some idea of what it will be when thoroughly developed. There is your resurrected body, so brilliant that the noonday sun is a patch of midnight compared with it. There ! is your soul, so pure that all the forces of diabolism could not spot it with an imperfection. There is your being, so mighty and so swift that flight from heaven to Mercury or Mars or Jupiter and back again to heaven would not weary you. and a world on each shoulder would not crush you. 'An eye that. shaH never shed a tear. An energy that shall never feel a fatigue. A brow j that shall never throb with yain. You ; are young again, though you died of decrepitude. You are well again, | though you coughed or shivered your- , self into the tomb. Your everyday as- ; sociates are the apostles and prophets and martyrs and most exalted souls, ! masculine and feminine, of all the cen- ; turies. The archangel to you no em- j barrassment. God Himself your pres- j ent and everlasting joy. That is an instantaneous picture of what you may be and what I am sure some of you wfll be. Nf you realize that it is an imperfec' picture, my apology is what the apostil John said:*“It doth not yet appanr wha«we shall be." “To this end was I born.* ; If I did not think so, I would be ever ; whelmed with melancholy. The wori( does very well for a little while, 80 or 10f \ or 1.50 years, Rnd I think that hutnni longevity may yet be improved up ti ' that prolongation, for now there is s» j little room between our cradle and out grave we cannot accomplish much, bit who would want to dwell in this work for all eternity? Some think this eartl will finally be turned into Heaven. Per j haps it may, but it would have to under j go radical repairs and thorough elim- ; inations and evolutions and revolu- j tions and transformations infinite to t make it desirable for eternal residence, j All the east winds would have to be- ; come west winds, and all the winters ; changed to springtides and all .the j volcanoes extinguished and all the

oceans chained to their beds, and the epidemics forbidden entrance and the : world so fixed up that I think it would ; take more to repair this old world than J to make an entirely new one. But I j must say I do not eare where Heaven is, if we can only get there; whether 1 a gardenized America or an enopara* j dised Europe or a world central to the ! whole universe. "To this end was 4 born." If each one of us could say that j we wouid go with faces shining and j hopes exhilarant amid earth’s worst misfortunes aud trials. In the seventeenth century all Eu- j rope was threatened with a wave of Asiatic barbarism, and Vienna was es- | pecially besieged. The king and his court had fled, and nothing could'save j the city from being overwhelmed un- ; less the king of Poland, John Sobieski, j to whom they had sent for help, should | with his army come down for the re* \ lief, and from every roof and tower i the inhabitants of Vienna watched and 1 waited and hoped, until on the morn* ing of September 11 the rising sun j threw an unusual and unparalleled I brilliancy. It was the reflection of the sun on the swords and shields and hel* j mets of John Sobieski and his army ! coming down over the hills to the res- j cue. and that day not only Vienna, but \ Europe, was saved. And aee you not, j O ye souls, besieged with sin and sor- j row. that light breaks in; the swords : and the shields and the helmets of divine rescue bathed in the rising sun of heavenly deliverance? Let everything else go rather than let Heaven P°What a poor farthing is all that this world can offer you compared with par* j don here and life immortal beyond the stars, unless this side of them there i be a place large enough and beautiful i enough and grand enough for all the ransomed. Wherever it be, in wba| world, whether near by or far away, in this or some other constellation, hail, home of light and love and bless* edness! Through the atoning mercy of Christ, may we all get there!

THE ELECTIONS. Bpimioa* of Democrt tic Editors oa the Reialti Thi oaghoat the Coaatrr. The democratic election workers found themselves pitted against a powerful foe yesterdey, a foe whose first came is republican bocdle.—Binghamton (X. Y.) Leader. Minnesota democrats will each order an extra turkey for Thanksgiving. The American bird will taste particularly good to the North Star faithful this year.—St. Paul Globe. The result of elections throughout the country indicates the dissatisfaction of a great many voters with the :ourse of the administration in giving preference to tariff legislation over monetary reform and with the misconduct of the war popularly known as Algerism.—X. Y. Herald. The democratic party upheld the president too loyally during the war with Spain to be now accused of proSpanish tendencies. The real Spanish allies in that war were the men who placed an incompetent general in command of the American army before'Santiago.—St. Louis Republic. .It is quite like old times to see the government clerks blackmailed that the republican politicians may have campaign funds, and to see the franking privilege abused to save republican campaign expenses. The civil service law i.s not such a hideous thing as the old wheel-horses thought, since it can t*e so easily evhded. — Washington Times. The democracy, tested its strength and found itself m most satisfactory condition. In spite of its failure to score a noteworthy victory this year, it can prepare for the important campaign of 1900 with entire confidence iu its ability to sweep the country. Xothing could do more to enervate republicanism and unfit it for the battle of 1900 than the renewed leases of power that were given it yesterday with something ’ike reluctance. The g. o. p. may be relied upon to hang itself with the extra supply of rope that has been flung ♦o it.—Binghamton (X. Y.) Leader.

THE CROWNING ABSURDITY. Republican Contention That the Kecord of the Party Should Be Set Aaide. Everything goes in a political cam j paign. This might long ago have passed into a proverb, for, assuredly, ] there are said and done in political campaigns things that could not with propriety or safety be said or done at other times. It is quite likely that in 6ome respects the old methods have been improved on, and that there is eotnc slight tendency toward the millennial condition, under which, it is expected. reason will usurp the seat of prejudice and passion. It will doubtless lie a long time, however, before the element of the ridiculous will be whol- i ly eliminated from campaigning. Desperation may always be expected to had to dealing in absurdities, if nothing worse. One of the absurdities—the foremost, indeed—of the campaign that has just closed was the republican contention that the record of the party in power which asks to be continued in power, is not a fit subject for consideration and discussion, and that it ought to be set aside so that attention could be given exclusively to matters that relate not at all to state government. It goes ; without saying, of course, that this line of policy would be pursued only by a party whose record had not been what it ought to have been, but one would suppose that, even in a desperate emergency, any party would hesitate about taking such a ridiculous position.—Binghamton X. Y.) Leader.

Alger’i Victory. On what ground did McKinley loot for popular indorsement of his admin- ; istration? Surely not because of his original appointment and continued support of the most discreditable cabi- j net officer in American history. Cer tainly not upon the line of his appointments generally, for they have been, as Alger’s appointment was. payment of political debts. McKinley could not nsk the appointment of the national electorate because of any affirmative monetary proposition-on his part, fot neither he nor his party has taken any stand in the direction of a stable cur iency. Nor could McKinley ask national indorsement because of any socalled spirited foreign policy, for he Las not enunciated any policy whatever concerning the acquisition of territory coming to the United States as the result of a war into which he no less than Spain was forced. If the national ad ministration sees in the result of the election a personal triumph Alger i* properly selected to direct the fanfare of exulting trumpets.—Chicago Chronicle. Papa Was Seaaltlve. “Alfred, please, don’t try to be so poetical. You hurt pa’s feelings real had to-night.” “Kow?” “When you were talking about good times and big crops you said the great northwest was just teeming with milk and honey." “WeH. what of it?*’ “Why, when pa was poor he used to do teaming for a commission house op In St. Paul.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. The government has just published an old maids* chart, which Is expected to be of the greatest value to unmarried women all over the country. It is a map. printed in colors, and shows at a glance just in what localities bachelors are thickest, and in what region spinsters are most dense per square mile. A recently-lost Rembrandt Is said to have been discovered in Paris la a small seoond-hand shop. It is a por- | trait of a young man in a yellow sap. The first offer of $25,000 made to the finder by a Belgian dealer was refused.
