BIBLE MATHEMATICS. fir. Talmage Discourses on the Numeral Seven. Jk. Favorite Number with the Divine Mind—Take Care of the Presentt God Will Take Care of the Future. (Copyright. 1899, by Louis Klopsch.J Washington, June 25. Many of the important doctrines of Che Bible are by Ur. Talmage presented ik this sermon in a very unusual way. Genesis ii, 3: “God blessed the seventh day.” The mathematics of the Bible is noticeable; the geometry and the arithmetic, the square in Ezekiel, the circle spoken of in Isaiah, the curve alluded to in Job, the rule of fractions mentioned in Daniel, the rule of loss and gain in J.'nrk, where Christ asks the people to cipher out by that rule what It would “profit *a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul.” But there is one mathematical figure that Is crowned above all others in the Bible. It is the numeral seven, which the Arabians got from India and all following ages have taken from the Arabians. It stands between the figure six and the figure eight. In the Bible all the other numerals bow to it. ■Over 300 times it is mentioned in the ■Scriptures, either alone or compounded with other words! In Genesis the week is rounded into seven days, and I use my text because there this numeral is for the first time introduced in a journey which halts not until in the close of the book of Revelation i|ts monument is built into the wall of Heaven ' in chrysolite, which in the strata of precious stones is the seventh. In the Bible we find that Jacob had to serve seven years to get Rachel, but •he was well worth it, and, foretelling the years of prosperity and famine in Pharoah’s time, the seven lot oxen were eaten up of the seven lean oxen, and wisdom is said to be built on seven . pillars, and the ark was left with the Philistines seven years, and Nqaman, for the cure of his leprosy, plunged in the Jordan seven times; to the house i

f that Ezekiel saw in vision there were seven steps; the walls of Jericho, before they fell down, were compassed seven days; Zechariah describes a ^ stone with seven eyes; to cleanse a leprous house the- door must be sprinkled with pigeon’s blood seven «* .times; in Canaan were overthrown seven nations; on oue occasion Christ cast out seven devils; von a mountain he fed a munthude of people with seven loaves, the fragments loft filling seven baskets, and the closing passages of the Bible Tbre magnificent and overwhelming with the imagery made up f seven churches, seven stars, seven audlesticks, seven seals, sevon angels and seven heads and seven crowns and seven horns and seven spirits and seven phials and seven plagues and seven thunders. .? Yea, the numeral, seven seems a favorite with the Divine mind outside as •well as inside the Bible, for are there not seven prismatic colors? And when •Cod with the rainbow wrote the comforting thought that the world would .never have another deluge lie wrote it on the scroll of the sky in ink of seven 'dolors. He grouped into the t’leiades *, «gven stars. Borne, the capital of the -world, sat on seven hills. When God would make the most intelligent thing -on earth,the human countenance, lie fashioned it with seven features—the two ears, the two eyes, the two nostrils and the mouth. Yea, our body lasts only seven years, and we gradually shed it for another body after another seven years, and so on, for we are as to our bodies septennial animals. •So the numeral seven ranges through nature and through revelation. It is ftthe number of perfection, and so 1 use .■it while I speak of the,seven candle■sticks, the seven stars, the seven seals Hind the seven thunders.

V me seven golden candlesticks were 1 3snd are the churches. Mark you, the churches never were and never can be candles. They are only candlesticks. They are not the light, but they are 40 hold the light. A room in the night might have in it 500 candlesticks and .yet you could not see your hand before your face. The only use of a candlestick, and the only use of a church, is to hold up the light. You see it is 41 dark world, the night of sin, the night •of trouble, the night' of superstition, the night of persecution, the night of i .poverty, the night of siclciess, the I flight of death; aye, about 50 nights ■have interlocked their shadows. The whole race goes stumbling over prostrated hopes and fallen fortunes and empty flour barrels and desolate cradles and deathbeds, flow much we iaye use for all the seven candlesticks, with lights blazing from the top of each one of them! Light of pardCn for all 6in! Light of comfort for all trouble! Light of encouragement for all despondency! Light of eternal riches for all poverty! Light of rescue for all persecution! Light of reunion for all the bereft! Light of Heaven for all the dying! And that light is Christ, who as the light that shall yet irradiate tj>e hemispheres. But mark you, when 1 say churches «re not candles, but candlesticks, 1 cast ■no, slur on candlesticks. 1 believe in beautiful candlesticks. The candlesticks that God ordered for the ancient tabernacle were something exquisite. 'They were a dream of beauty carved •out of loveliness. They were made of hammered gold, stood in a foot of gpld And bad six branches of gold blooming -all along in six lilies of gold each, and lips of gold, from which the candles lifted their holy fire. And the best houses in any city ought to be the •churches—the best built, the best ventilated, the best swept, the best winlowed and the best chandeliered. Log •cabins may do in neigbbodboods where it

most of the pec pie live In log cabins, but let there be (>a)atial churches for regions where many of the people live in palaces. Do "not have a better place for yourself than for your Lord and King. Do not live in a parlor and put your Christ in a kitchen. These seven candlesticks of which 1 speak were not made of pewter or iron. They were golden candlesticks, and gold is not only a valuable, but a bright metal. Have everything about j'our church bright—your ushers with smiling faces, your music jubilant, your handshaking cordial, your entire service attractive. Many people feel that in church they must look dull, in order to be reverential, and many whose faces in other kinds of assemblage show all the different phases of emotion have in church no more expression than the back wheel of a hearse. Brighten up and be responsive. If you feel like weeping, weep. If you feel like smiling. smile. If you feel indignant at some wrong assailed from the pulpit, frown. Do not leave your naturalness and resiliency home because it is Sunday morttfhg. If as officers of a church you meet people at the church door with a black look, and have the music black and the minister in hlack preach a black sermoa, and from invocation to benediction have the impression black, few will come, and those who do come will wish they had not come at all. Golden candlesticks! Scour up the six lilies on each branch and known that the more lovely and bright they are the more fit they are to hold the light. But a Ckristless light is a damage to the world rather than a good. Cromwell stabled his cavalry horses in St. Paul’s cathedral,and many now use thechurch in which to stable vanities and worldliness. A worldly church is a candlestick wijhout the candle, and it had its prototype in St. Sophia, in Constantinople/ buil t to the glory of God by Constantine, but transformed to base uses by Mohammed the second. Built out of colored marble, a cupola with 24 windows soaring to a height of 180 feet, the ceiling one great bewilderment of mosaic,, galleries supported by night columns of porphyry and 67 columns of green jasper, nine bronze doors with alto relievo work fascinating to the eye of any artist, vases and vestments incrusted with all manner of precious stones. Four walls on fire with indescribable splendor.

Though labor was cheap, the building cost $1,500,000. Ecclesiastical structure, almost supernatural in pomp and majesty. But Mohammedanism tore down from the walls of that building all the saintly and Christly images, and high up in the dome the figure of the cross was rubbed out that the crescent of the barbarous Turk might be substituted. A great church, but no Christ! A gorgeous candlestick, but no candle! Ten thousand such churches would not give the world as much light as one homemade tallow candle by w'hich last night some grandmother in the eighties put on her spectacles and read the Psalms of David in large type. Up with the churches by all means! Hundreds of them, thousands of'them, and the more the better. But let each one be a blaze of heavenly light, making the world brighter and brighter, till the last shadow has disappeared and the last of the suffering children of God shall have reached the land where they have no need of candlestick or “of candle, neither light of the sun, for the Lord God giveth them light, and they shall reign forever and ever.” Seven candlesticks the complete number of lights! Let your light shine before men, that they, seeing your good works, may glorify your Father which is in. Heaven. Turn now in your Bible to the seven stars. We are distinctly told that they are t he ministers of religion. Some are large stars, some of them small stars, some of them sweep a wide circuit and some of them a small circuit, but so far as they are genuine they get their light from, the great central sun around whom they make revolution. Let each one'keep in his own sphere. The solar system would be soon wrecked if the

»«•*»» iucu unu ui* bits, should go to hunting down other stars. Ministers of religion should never clash. But in all the centuries of the Christian church some of these stars have been hunting an Edward Irving or a Horace Bushnell or an Albert Barnes, and the stars that were in pursuit of the other stars lost their own orbit, and some of them could never again find it. Alas for the heresy hunters! The best way to destory error is to preach the truth. The best way to scatter darkness is to strike a light. There is in immensity room enough for all the stars and in the church room enough for all the ministers. The ministers who give up righteousness and the truth will get punishment enough anyhow, for they are “the wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever.” The ministers are not all Pecksniffs and canting hypocrites, as some would have you think! Forgive me if, having at other times glorified the medical profession and the legal profession and the literary profession, I. glorify my own. 1 have seen fli^m in their homes and heard them in their pulpits, and a grander array of men sever breathed, and,the Bible figure is not strained whftn it calls them stars. And whole constellations of glorious ministers have already^tken their places on hig$, where they shine even brighter than they shone on earth. Edward N. Kirk of the Congregational church, Stephen H. Tying of the Episcopal church, Matthew Simpson of the Methodist church, John Bowling of the Baptist church, Samuel K. Talmage of the Presbyterian church, Thomas Be Witt of the Reformed church, John Chambers of the Independent church, and there 1 stop, for it so happens that 1- have mqptioned the seven stars of the seven churches. I pass on to another mighty Bible seven, and they are the seven seals. St. John in vision saw a scroll with seven seals, and he heard an angel cry: *

“Who !• worthy to loose the seals tbef«> | of?” Take eight or ten sheets of fools- 1 cap paper, paste them together and roll > them into a scroll and have the scroll at seven different places sealed with sealing wax. You unroll the scroll until you come to one of those seals, and then you can go so farther until you break that seal. Then unroll again until you come to another seal, and you can go farther until you break that seal. Then you go on until all the seven seals are broken and the contents of the entire scroll are revealed. Now that scroll with seven seals held by the angel was the prophecy of what was to come on earth. It meant that the knowledge of the future was with God. and no man and no angel was worthy to open it, ' but the Bible says Christ opened it and broke all the seven seals. He broke tffe first seal and unrolled the scroll, and there was a picture of a white horse, and that meant prosperity and triumph for the Roman empire, and so it really , came to pass that for 90 years virtuous emperors succeeded each other—Nerva, ! Trajan and Antoninus. Christ in the vision broke the second seal and unrolled again, and there was a seal of a red horse, and that meant bloodshed, and so it really came to pass, and the next 90 years were red with assassinations and wars. Then Christ broke the third seal and unrolled it, and there was a picture of a black horse, which in all literature means famine, oppression and taxation, and so it really came to pass. Christ went on until He broke all the seven seals and opened all (he scroll. Well, the future of all of us is in a sealed scroll, and I am glad that no one but Christ can open it. Do not let us join that class of Christians in our day who are trying to break the seven seals of the future. They are trying to peep into things they have no business with. Do not go to some necromancer or ' spiritualist or soothsayer or fortune teller to find out what is going to happen to yourself or your family or your friends. Wait till Christ breaks the seal to find out whether in your own personal life or the life of the nation or the life of the world it is going to be the white horse of prosperity or the red horse of war or the black ^orse of fam

and hear him neigh. Take care of the present, and the future will take care of itself. If a man lire 70 years, his biography is in a scroll having at least seven seals. And let him not dur- ' ing the first .ten years of his life try to look into the twenties, nor the twenties into the thirties, nor the thirties ( into the forties, nor the forties into the fifties, nor the fifties into the sixties, 1 nor the sixties into the seventies: From the way the years have got the habit of racing along 1 guess you will not have to wait a great while before all the seals of the future are broken. 1 would not give two cents to know how long 1, am going to live or in what day or what year the world is going to be demolished. 1 would rather give $1,000 not, I tp know. Suppose some one could break the next seal in the scroll of your personal history and should tell you that on the next Fourth of July, ; 1901, you were to die, the summer after next, how much would you be good for between this and that? It would from new until then be a prolonged funeral. > You would be counting the months arid the days, and your family and friends would be counting them, and^tiext Fourth of July you would rub your j hands together and whine: “One year from to-day I am to go. Dear me! 1 wish no-one bad told me so long before. 1 1 wish that necromancy had not broken the seal of the future." And meeting ! some undertaker, you would say: *T hope you will keep yourself tree for an 1 engagement the Fourth of Jluy, 1901. j ■That day you will be needed at my : house. To save time you might as well j take my measure now, 5 feet 11 ; inches.” 1 am glad that Christ dropped a thick veil over the hour of our demise, and of the hour of the world’s destruction when He said: “Of that day and hour knoweth no man; no, not the angels, but My' Father only.” Keep your hands off the seven seals.

lhere is another mighty seven of the Bible—namely, the seven thundery. What those thunders meant we are not told, and there has been mueh guessing about them. But they are to come, I we are told, before the end of all things, i and the world cannot get along with- j out them. Thunder is the speech of lightning. There are evils in our world which must be thundered down and which will require at. least seven vol- j leys to prostrate them. We are all ' doing nice, delicate, soft handed work, I in churches and reformatory institu- j tions, against the evils of the world, and much of it amounts to a teaspoon 1 dipped out of the Atlantic ocean, or a clam shell digging away at a mountain, 1 or a tack hammer smiting the Gibraltar. -What is needed is thunderbolts, and at least seven of them. There is the long line of fraudulent commercial establishments, every stone in the foundation and every brick in the wall, j and every nail in the rafter made out of dishonesty, skeletons of poorly-paid sewing girls’ arms in every beam of that establishment, human nerves worked into every figure of thaf~ embroidery, blood in the deep dye of that refulgent upholstery, billions of dollars of accumulated fraud intrenched in massive storehouses and stock companies manipulated by unscrupulous men, until the monopoly is defiant of all earth and heaven. Bow shall the evil be overcome? By treatises on the. maxim: “Honesty is the best policy?” Or by soft repetition of the Golden Kule that we must “Do unto others as we would have them, do to us?” No, it will not be done that way. What is needed and will come is the seven thunders. An BcnonieaJ Occupation. “What a liberal thinker Joe Serimper is.” “Vest it doesn't cost him any cash to think.”—Chicago Record.

HANNA AND HARMONY. A Republican Or can Or la da ill at a , M all of Woe Over the Obi Situation. The republican press is ge le rally agreed that Hanna and Harmon y were copartners in the management of the Ohio republican convention. If this be true, the junior par ner in the firm has a clear case for damages against the Chicago Times-Heiald, a i McKinley-Hanna organ of the inner j circle, which overlooks Harmony’s in- j terests altogether, and proceeds to rub salt into the open wounds of S enator Foraker. According to the Times-Heral l there is no republican harmony in Ohio. It goes further, and declares that “there will be no real harmony in Ohio politics, no national confidence in the utterances of its republican conventions, tto long as Judas Benedict Foraker rett ins his place in> republican councils ther e. He has been paid off. Let him be retired for good.” The Chicago McKinley organ furthermore declares that nothing but makebelieve harmony, “for the sake of selfpreservation, has compelled Joseph B. Foraker to sheathe his political dagger in his own coat-tail, swallow his envy and malice, and stand upon an Ohio platform renewing pledges of loyalty to the party he has so often sought to betray,” According to the TimesHerald, “it would require a page to rehearse the flagrant breaches ot party loyalty and personal good faith” of which Foraker has been guilty; Foraker’a conduct in the Ohio convention “has once more proved that the leopard cannot change his spots”—that “conspiracy and treachery are so ingrained id the man that nothing can eradicate them from his acts.” Finally, he is told that “when whipped into line, he licks the lash, but as he does so, plots new treachery.” Political rumor has it that Hanna, Harmony & Qo. have already selected Gen. Orosvenor, the foremost administration cuckoo, to be Foraker’s successor in the United States senate in 1903; a rumor which would see n to be well authenticated by the above-quoted comments of “the original McKinley organ of the west.”

Doubtless Senator Foraker will lie awake nights, consulting with Bushnell, Kurtz and McKisson as t :> ways and means to elect Nash governor, and thereby strengthen the hold of Hanna, Harmony & Co. upon the Ohio republican machinery.—Albany Argun. HANNA'S TALK OF SPIES. The Republican Boss Makes a Defense of the Administration Which Arouses Suspicion. “We commend the president for the judicious modifications of th>i» civil service rules recently promulgated,” says Mark Haana in his Ohio pk tform. In an intemew for publication Mr. Hanna stands by the platform t ndf the order. He attempts to justify th i latter by saying that when President Cleveland was about to go out he issued an order which had the effect of giving permanent jobs to a lot of democrats in positions where they 'could act as “spies” upon the republican administration. He says that the present republican administration is responsible to the people for its conduct of public affairs, and it cannot justly be held responsible if it is surrounded! by “democratic spies.” Therefore, the president is to be commended for his “judicious” order. Of course Mr. Hanna does not expect any intelligent man to accept thi s statement as a sufficient justification for turning over 10,000 places in the public service to spoilsmen. An administration has no business to have any secrets in any branches of the service a fleeted by this order. If there is any use for the services of spies then it is because something is wrong which ought to be exposed. If anything is wrong the presence of men in the service who will expose it is for the public good. Mr. Hanna’s talk about spies implies that things are done which ought not to be done. It implies that there are things which the party bosses wish to keep secret when there should be no secrets and everything should be open to the public. It implies a purpose on the part of the republican bosses to convert the public service into a party machine—to pervert and degrade it to the accomplishment of merely party ends.

-any spying wmcn wm xena to prevent .such degradation of the public service is a very desirable thing. But Mr. Hanna and his fellow bosses are not worried about spies. We hear nothing about spies in the British civil service, where the merit system is more extended and more rigorously applied than it ever has been here. The simple truth is that the spoilsmen want the spoils, and their talk about spies is the best excuse they can think of for seizing what they want.—Chicago Chronicle. The Philippines Are Costly. The war in the Philippines has cost a 1 heavy loss in killed and wounded, saying nothing of sickness. There have been dispatched to the islands from first to last over 40,000 troops, men and officers, and so far not over 1,000 of these have returned to this country. The cost of the military occupation is estimated at $3,000,000 a month, and in a year will nearly equal the entire interest charge of the United States debt. The net result is that we control just the small amount of territory on which our tyoops stand, and yesterday a severe engagement by our military and naval forces waa brought on by an insurgent “threatened attack in strong force on Manila.** The facts are unpleasant, but it is wiser to face them boldly and shape future action accordingly than to be lulled into a false security by optimistic and “edited” official dispatches.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. /

HAVE MEYER AND TRUSTS. The Sever Magnate Taken a Shy at Pro tec t ion — Every Trait Save His Owa. H. 0. Havemeyer’s arraignment ol the trusts and his condemnation of discriminating tariff laws will meet with cordial approval by the masses who have been plundered by both these agencies and robbed in the name of ‘‘enterprise” and law. But his view ia too circumscribed when he says: “I repeat'that all this agitation against trusts is merely the business machinery employed to take from the public what the government in its tariff laws says it te proper and suitable they should have. It is the government, through its tariff laws, which plunders the people,- and the trusts, etc., are merely the machinery for doing it.” Some trusts, like the Stanard Oil and railroad combines, exist independently of tariff laws, and their destruction calls for remedial legislation along other lines than the tariff. The interstate commerce laws, if enforced, would afford partial but quite substantial relief. But the republican party is bound in chains of adamant to the wheels of plutocracy, and therefore the attorney general of the United States has been instructed by his superiors not to act to the financial loss of those corruptive, destructive aggregations of capital which dominated and caused the election of his political master. Very selfishly, but illogicallv, Mr. Havemeyer pleads for an increased tariff duty on refined sugar. He says: "The rate of protection pn sugar is an,* eighth of a cent per pound, which imK about three and one-half per cent, ad valorem. • • • The least It should have is eight per cent • •• The sugar refining industry of this country, no matter what form its organisation, is entitled to adequate protection, if any Industry ia There are at least 100,WO people dependent on it.” Yes, and there are over 75,000,000 people compelled by government robbery to swell the enormous profits of the sugar trust. One-eighth of a cent per pound seems to be a trifling matter, but when it is considered that the output of the sugar trust is approximately 10,000,000 pounds daily, we find that the people are robbed by this same oneeighth of a cent per pound of over $111,000 every day in the year.

At is surprisingly reiresmng 10 oe informed that the “trusts are undtr no obligation to the states which created them, but, on . the contrary, the states are the beneficiaries of the condescending trusts!” & After informing an anxious world that trusts are the logical results of discriminative laws, Mr. Havemeyer gravely says: "In these days there are two forms, and two 1 only, of monopoly. One. that which results from a patent and copyrights. It is uni- . versally recognized that this is in the in- ! terest, not against the interest of the pub- 1 lie. The other, that which comes from unfair tariff discrimination. • • • Tariff j for the purpose of equalizing against for-ci eign bounties • • * does not need to be justified.” Oh, no! Tariff that favors the sugar , trust is beneficent, but all other kinds are robbery, according to Mr. Havemeyer. Is it not about time that the people were done with “expert” testimony by those who confess they are plunderers and robbers? H. O. Havemeyer stands 1 before the world to-day self-eonvicted of conducting a legalized robbing and ( plundering machine—a trust. His parting advice is for the farmers to or- ] ganize a trust for their own protection. With his assertions that there are trusts and. there are not -trusts, Mr. j Havemeyer has shown how trusts blind j those who conduct them and sweep : them and theirs away. Let the people come by their own.—Chicago Dempcrat.

Besides, “God reigns, and the republican party still lives.”—Albany Argus. —-It is questionable whieh are louder, the rejoicings of republican spoilsmen Over the destruction of the civil service system or the protestations of republican hypocrites that the system has really been strengthened by breaking it to pieces. You cannot find a republican “hustler” who is not immensely pleased with the order, but they do not make much more showing than men like Secretary Gage who continue to assert that there has been “no letting down of the bars.”—Indianapolis Sentinel. -The president himself must by this time see that an imperial policy is a horrible mistake. He munt realize that war for the subjugation of an unwilling people, to drag into the United States a. population unfitted for any of the duties of citizenship under a highly organized government, has no logical justification. The president knows, for he so declared in his Boston speech, that imperial conquest is “contrary to the spirit of American institutions.” Knowing that, why does he not rescue the American army from the perils of a hostile climate by ordering a cessation of the slaughter of a people who ask for nothing more than an opportunity to administer their own affaifsf j —Pittsburgh Dispatch.
