EPO -t? ftg-Tftiiiiin"h CMilVlQNS DBFJSATS. REV. DrT. TALMAQE PREACHES A SER MON OF CONSOLING INFLUENCE. TikIu) and Ono Hundred Years From Now. The Necessity of Death nnd Dceaj Tlmo In Pant, nnd It fa itn Everlasting- Non. UuooiUiYK, Nov. ltt.'-Iluv. Dr. T.t! muso today preached a Bcrmon of ttnusn ll itiid marvelous consolation to the usual I iiougs ufter they had sung: There la no sorrow that hca en cannot cure. (Thasubjoct v.'ns,,Oblivion and ltd De feats." Tho texts selected were Job xsiv, 20, "HoshalMjo iomoro- remembered," and Psalms cxii, C, "The righteous shall be in overlasting remembrance." "Oblivion and Its Defeats" is my sub jpet today. There is an old monster that swallows down everything. It crunches individuals, families, communities, states, nations, continents, hemispheres, worlds. Its diet is made up of years, of centuries, of cycles, of millenniums, of cons, mat monster is called by Noah Webster and nlj the other dictionarians oblivion. It is n steep down which ev erything rolls. It is a conflagration in which everything is consumed. It is a dirge in which all orchestras play nnd a period at which everything stops. It is the cemetery of the human race. It is tho domain of forgetfulness. Oblivion! At times it throws a fehadow over all of us, and I would not pronounce it today if I did not coino armed in tho strength of tho eternal God on your behalf to at tack it, to rout it, to demolish it. oblivion's work. Why, jnst look at tho way tho families of the earth disappear! For nwhilo they aro together, inseparable and to each other indispensable, and then they part. Some by marriage', going to establish' other homes, and some leave this life, and a century is long enough to plant a family, develop it, prosperit and obliter ate it. sSo tho generations vanish. Walk up Broadway, New York; State street, Boston; Chestnut street, Phila delphia; The Strand, London; Princess street,Edinburgh Champs Elysees.Paris; Unter den Linden, Berlin, and you will meet in this year 1803 not one person who walked thero in tho year 1793. What ingulfment! All the ordinary efforts at perpetuation are dead J allures. Walter .Scott's "Old Mortality'may go round with his chiselrto irecufc the faded epi taplison tombstones, -but Old Oblivion has a quicker chisel with which he can cut out a thousand epitaphs while "Uia Mortality" is cutting iruono epitaph. Whole libraries of biographies devoured of bookworms or unread of the rising generations. All the signs of tho stores and ware houses of great firms havo changed, un less tho grandsons think that it is an ad vantage to keep the old sign up because the name of tho ancestor was more com mendatory than tho name of tho descend ant. The city of Rome stands today, but dig down deep enough and you come to another Rome, buried, and go down still farther and you will find a third Rome. Jerusalem stands today, but dig down deep enough and you will find a Jerusa lem underneath, and go on and deeper down a third Jerusalem. Alexandria on tho top of an Alexandria, and the second on the top of the third. Many of tho. ancient cities are' buried 30 feet deep, or 50 feet deep, or 100 feet deep. What was tho matter? Any special ca lamity? No. The winds and waves and RAnils nnd fl vine dust are all undertakers and gravedfggers, and if the world stands long enough the present Brooklyn and New York and London will have on top of 'them other Brooklyns and New Yorks and-Londons, and only aer digging and boringiond blasting will, tho archaeolo gist of far distant centuries come down as far as the highest spires and domes and turrets of our present American and European cities. Call tho roll of the armies of Baldwin 1, or of Charles Martel, or of Marlbor ough, or of Mithridates. or of Prince Frederick, or of Cortez, and not one answer will you hear. Stand thera in lino and call the roll of the 1,000,000 .nun m hn nrmv of Thebes. Not one answer. Stand thera in line, the 1,700, 000 infantry and tho 200,000 cavalry of the Assyrian army under Ninns, and call the roll.- Not ono answer. Stand inline the 1,000,000 men of Sesostris, the 1,200, 000 men of Artaxerxes at Cuuaxa, the 2,041,000 men under Xerxes at Ther mopylae and call tho long roll. Not one answer. . Ar thA oinibir of our civil war the men of tho northern and southern armies were told that if they fell in battle the r names would never bo forgotten by their country. Out of tho million men who rail in haftin or died in military hospi tals yon cannot call the names of 1,000, nor tha names of 000, nor the names of JOO.northonamesofGO. Oblivion! Are the feet of tho dancers who were at the ball of tho Duchess of Richmond at Brussels the night beforo Waterloo all still? All still. Aro all tho ears that heard the jjuna of Bunker Hill all deaf?

The wnrM Ifonlf .tn roll into it as easily as a schoolboy's in ilia rubber ball rolls down a hill, and when our world goes it is so interlocked by tho law of gravitation with other worlds that they will go, too, and so far from havmgour memory perpetuated by a monument of Aberdeen granito in this world, there is no world in sight of our strongest telescopo that will bo a sure pediment for any slab of commemora tion of tho fact that wo ever lived or died at.all. Our earth is struck with death. Tho axletreo of tho constella tions will break and let down tho popu lations of other worlds. Stellar, lunar, solar mortality. Oblivion! It can swal low and will swallow whole galaxies of worlds as easily as a crocodile takes down a frog. Yet oblivion does not remove or swal low anything that had better not bo re moved or swallowed. Tho old monster is welcome to his meal: This world would long ago havo been ovorcrowded if it had not been for tho merciful remov al of nations and generations. What if all the books had lived that were ever written and printed and published? Tho libraries would by their immensity have obstructed intelligence and made all re search impossible. Tho fatal epidemic of books was a merciful epidemic. Many of the state and national libra ries today are only morgues in which dead books are waiting for some ono to come and recognizo them. What if all the people that had been born were still alive? Wo would have been elbowed by our ancestors of ten centuries ago, and people who ought to have said their last word 3,000 years ago would snarl at us, saying, "What aro you doing here?" There would have been no room to turn around. Somo of tho past generations of mankind wero not worth remembering. The first useful thing that many people did was to die their cradle a misfortune and their grave a boon. I This world was hardly a comfortable place to live in before the middle of the last century. So many things have como into the world that were not fit to stay in wo ought to be glad they wero put out. The waters of Lethe, the fountain of forgetfulness, are a healthful draft. The history we have of tho world in ages past is always one sided and cannot be depended on. History is fiction illus trated by a few straggling facts. In all the Pantheon the weakest goddess is Clio, the goddess of history, and instead of being represented by sculptors as holding a scroll might better bo repre sented as limping on crutches. Faithful history is the saving of a few things out of moro things lost. Tho im mortality that comes from pomp of ob sequies or granito shaft or building named after its founder or page of recognition in somo encyclopedia is an immortality unworthy of one's ambition, for it will all cease and is no immortality at all. Oblivion! A hundred years. But while I recognizo this universal submergenco of things earthly, wno wants to do ior gotten? Not ono of us. Absent for a few weeks or months from home, it cheers us to know that we aro remembered there. It is a phraso wo have all pronounced, "I hope youmissed me." Meeting some friends from whom wo have been parted many years, wo in quire, "Did vou ever 6oemo before?" and they say "Yes," and call us by name, and wo feel a delightful sensation thrilling through their hand into our hand, and running up from elbow to shoulder, and then parting, tho ono current of delight ascending to the brow and tho other de scending to the foot, moving round and round in concentric circles until every ..-i. omi muscle and capacity of body and mind and sonl is permeated with de- 11 A few days ago, visiting the placo of my bojhood, I mot ono whom I had not seen since we plajed together at 10 years of age, and I had peculiar pleasure in puzzling him a mtie as i "". and I can hardly describe the sensation as niter awhile he mumbled eut: "Ut me S Yes, you are Do Witt."

Has Paul forgotten tho inhabitants of Malta, who extended tho island hospital ity when he and others with him had felt, added to a shipwreck, thedreuchine rain and tho sharp cold? Has tho icthu of tho highwayman on tho road to Jeri cho forgotten the Good Samaritan with a medicament of oil and wino and a freo rido to tho hostelry? Havo tho English soldiers who went up to God from tho Crimean battlefields forgotten Florence Nightingale? Through all eternity Will tho north ern and southern soldiers forget tho northern and southern women who ad ministered to the dying boys in blue and. gray after tho awful fights in Tennesseo and Pennsylvania and Virginia and Georgia, which turned every house and barn and shed into a hospital and incar nadined the Susquehanna, and the James, and the Chattahoochee, and tho Savannah with brave blood? Tho kindnesses you do to others will stand as long in tho ap preciation of others as tho gates of heav en will stand, as tho "Houso of Many Mansions" will stand, as long as the throne of God will stand. CHARACTER 13 ETERNAL. Another defeat of oblivion will bo found in the character of those whom wo rescue, uplift or save. Character is eter nal. Supposo by a right influence wo aid in transforming a bad man into a good man, a dolorous man into a happy man, a disheaitcned man into a cour ageous man every stroke of that work done will be immortalized. There muy never bo so much as ono line in a news paper regarding it, or no mortal tongue may ever whisper it into human car, but wherover that soul shall go your work upon it shall go, wherever that soul rises jour work on it will rise, and bo long as that soul will last your work on it will last. Do you supposo there will over como such an idiotic lapse in tho history of that soul in heaven that it shall forget that you invited him to Christ; that you by prayer or gospel word turned him round from tho wrong way to tho right way? No such insanity will ever smite a heavenly citizen. It is not half as well known on earth that Christopher Wren planned and built St. Paul's as it will bo known in all heaven that you wero the instrumentality of building a temple for tho sky. We teach a Sabbath class, or put a Christian tract in tho hand of a passorby, or testify for Christ in a prayer meeting, or preach a sermon and go homo dis couraged, as though nothing had been ac complished, when we had been character building with a material that no frost or earthquake or rolling of tho centuries can damage or bring down. Thero is no sublimer art on earth than architecture. With pencil and rulo and compass, tho architect sits down alono and in silence, and evolves from hlsown brain a cathedral, or a national capitol, or a massive homo before ho leaves that ta ble, and then he goes out and unrolls his plans, and calls carpenters and masons nnd artisans of all sorts to cxecuto his design, and when it is finished he walks around the vast structure, and sees the completion of the work with high satis faction, and on a stone ut some corner of tho building tho architect's name may bo chiseled. But the storms do their work, and time, that takes down everything, will yet take down that structure, until there shall not be ono stone left upon another. But there is a soul in heaven. Through your instrumentality it was put there. Under God's grace you aro tho architect of its eternal happiness. Your name is written, not on ono corner of its nature, but inwrought into its every fiber and energy. Will tho storms of winter wash out tho story of what you havo wrought upon that spiritual structure? No. There aro no btoruis in that land, and there is no winter. Will time wear out tho inscrip tion which shows your fidelity? No. Time is past, and it is an everlasting now. Built into the foundation of that imperishable structure, built into its pillars, built into its capstone, is your name-either the name you have on earth or the name by which celestials shall call you. . I know tho Bible says in one place tliat God is a jealous God, but that refers to the work of those who worship some oth er cod. A true father is not jealous of his child. With wliat glee ycu show the picture your clilia pencneu, ur a i, tour child hewed ouU or recite the noble deed your child accomplished. And God never was jealous of a Joshua, never waa jealous of a Paul, never was jeal ous of a Trances Havergal, never was jealous of a man or woman who tried toheal wound and wipe away tear, nnd lift burdens and save souls; aD, "u.i n i of Krace. and your self abnegating B"; itfot unto ns. not unto us, but unto thy shall came, O Ljora, K !". -- - feel a heavenly mumkm in always .

And tho uuswor will bo, "Yes, it w is as long 9 that, but I remember it S3 well as though it wero yesterday." Oh, this character building! Tho struc ture lasting independent of passing cen turies, independent of crumbling mauso leums, independent of tho whole plano ' tary systom. Aye, if tho material uni verse, which seems all bound together like oncpieco of machinery, should somo day meet with an accident that should send worlds crashing into each other liko telescoped railway trains, and all tho wheels of constellations nnd galaxies should stop, und'down into tho chasm of immensity all tho suns and moons and stars should tumble liko tho midnight ex press at Ashtabula, that would not touch us nnd would not hurt God, for God is a spirit, and character and memory aro im mortal, andovor thatgravoof a wrecked material universe might truthfully bo written, "Thb righteous shall bo hold in overlasting remombrauco." O Timo, wo defy theol O Death, we stamp theo in tho dust of thine own sepulchersl O Eternity, roll on till tho last star has etopped rotating, and the last sun is extinguished on tho sapphire pathway, nnd tho last moon has il lumined tho lost night, and as many years havo passed as all tho ecribca that ever took pen could describo by as many figures ns thoy could write in all tho cen turies of all time, but thou shalt havo no power to effaco from any soul in glory tho memory of Anything wo havo done to bring it to God nnd heaven! A TROWN FOLLOWED BY A 1383. There is another and a moro complete defeat for oblivion, and that is in the heart of God himself. You have seen a sailor roll up his sleeve and show you his arm tattooed with tho figuro of a favor ite ship perhaps the first ono in wldch ho over sailed, You havo seen a soldier roll up his sleeve and show you his arm tattooed with the picture of a fortress where he was garrisoned, or tho faco of a great general under whom ho fought. You have seen many n hand tattooed with the face of a loved ono beforo or after marriage This tattooing is almost as old as tho world. It is somo colored liquid punc tured into tho flesh so indelibly thafc nothing can wash it out. It may have been there CO years, but when tho man goes into his coffin that puncturo will g6 with him on hand or arm. Now, God says that ho has tattooed us upon his hands. Thero can bo no other meaning in tho forty-ninth chapter of Isaiah, where God says, "Behold, I havo graven theo on tho palms of my handsl" It was as much as to say: "I cannot open my hand to help, but I think of yon. I cannot spread abroad my liahds to bless, but 1 think of you. Wherover 1 uo up uud down tho heavens I take these two pictures of you with mo. Thoy nro so inwrought into my being that I cannot lose them. As long as my hands last the memory of you will last. Not on the backs of my hands, as though to announce you to others, but on the palms of my hands for myself to look ut nnd study und lovo. Not on tho palm of ono hand alone, but on tho palnis of both hands, for while I am looking upon one hand nnd thinking of you, I must havo the other freo to pro tect you, freo to striko back your enemy, free to lift if you fall. Palmsof my hands indelibly tattooed. And though I hold tho winds in my fist no cyclono shall up root tho inscription of your namoand your face, and though I hold the ocean in tho hollow of my hand its billowing shall not wash out tho record of my re membrance. 'Behold, I have graven thee on tho palms of my hands.' " What joy, what honor can thero be comparable to that of being remeralered by tho mightiest and kindest nnd love liest and tenderest and most aiTectionate being in the universe. Think of it to hold an everlasting place in the heart of God. Tho heart of God! The most beau tiful palato in tho universe. Let the archangel build some palace as grand as that if ho can. Let him crumble up all the stars of yesternight and tomorrow night and put them together as mosaics for such a palace floor. Lot him take all tho sunrises and sunsets of all the days and the auroras of all the nights and hang them as upholstery at its windows. Let him take all the rivers, and all the lakes, and all the oceans, and toss them into tho fountains of this palace court. Let him take all the gold of all the hills nn.l hanif it in its chandeliers, ana ail the pearls of all the seas and all tlto dia monds of all tho fields, and with them arch the doorways of that palace, and then invito into it all tbe glories that rither ever haw at a Pemian bauqnet, or Daniel ever walked among in Baby lonian castles, or Joseph ever witnessed in Pharaoh's throneroom, and then your self enter this castle of archangelic con itruction and see how poor a iwlace it is compared tb the greater palace that some of you have already found in the heart of a loung and pardoning God, and into which all the music and all the prayers, and all the sennonlc considera tions of this day aro trying to introduce yon through the blood of the slain Lamb.
