Madison, July 2U. ttev. Dr. Talmaga
preaclied this morning at a Chautauqua
assembly on the banks of Monona lake,
n$ar this city. It is a great gathering of
people from all parts of the northwest.
His text was Esther iv, 14, "Who knowetb
whether thou art come to the kingdom for
such a time as this?"
Esther the Beautiful was the wife oi
Ahasuerus the Abominable. The time harZ
come for her to present a petition to her in
famous husband in behalf of the Israelitish
nation, to which she had once belonged.
She was afraid to undertake the work
lest she should lose her own life; but her
ancle, Mordecai. who had brought her up,
encouraged her with the suggestion that
probably she had been raised up of God for
that peculiar mission. "Who knowetb.
whether thon art come to the kingdom for
such a time as this?" Esther had her God
appointed work; you and I have ours. It
is my business to tell you what style of
people we ought to be in order that we
may meet the demand of the age in which
God has c&ci our lot. If you have come
expecting to hear abstractions discussed
or dry technicalities of religion glorified,
you have come to the wrong plufce; but if
you really would ' like to know what this
age has a right to expect of you as Chris
tian men and women, then I am ready in
the Lord's name to look you In the face.
When two armies have rushed into bat
tle the officers of either army do not want
philosophical discussion about the chemi
cal properties of human blood or the na
ture of gunpowder. They want some one
to lima the batteries and swab out the
guns. And now, when all the forces of
light and darkness, of heaven and hell
have plunged into the fight, it is no time
to give ourselves to the definitions ant!
formulas and technicalities and conven
tionalities of religion. What we want is
practical, earnest, concentrated, enthusias
tic and triumphant help. What we need
in the east yon in Wisconsin need.
In the first place, in order to meet the
special demand of this age, you need to be
an unmistakably aggressive Christian. Of
half and half Christians we do not want
: any more. The church of Jesus Christ
will be better without ten thousand of
them. They are the chief obstacle to the
church's advancement. I am speaking of
another kind of Christian. All the appli
ances for your becoming an earnest Chris
tian are at your hand, and there is a straight
path for. you into the broad daylight of
God's forgiveness. You may have come
here today the bondsmen of the world, and
yet before you go out of these doors you
may become the princes of the Lord God
Almighty. Vou know what excitement
there is in this country when a foreign
prince comes to our shores. Why? Because
it is expected that some day he will sit
upon a throne. . But what is all that honor
compared with the honor to which God
calls you to be sons and daughters of the
Lord Almighty; yea, to be queens and
kings unto God! "They shall reign with
him forever and forever."
A HEALTHY OPEN AIU FAITH.
But, my friends, you need hot be aggres
sive Christians, and not like those persons
who spend their lives in huggiDg . their
Christian graces and wondering why they
do not make any progress. How much ro-
bustness of health would a man have if he
hid himself in a dark closet? A great deal
of piety of the day is too exclusive. It
hides itself. It needs more fresh air, more
outdoor exercise. There are many Chris
tians who are giving their entire life to
self examination. They are feeling their
pnlses to see what is the condition of their
spiritual health. How long would a man
have robust physical health if he kept all
the days and weeks and months and years
of his life feeling his pulse instead of going
out into active, earnest, everyday work?
I was once amid the wonderful, bewitch
ing cactus growths of North Carolina. I
never was more bewildered with the beauty
of (lowers, and yet when I would take up
one of these cactuses and pnll the leaves
apart, the beauty was all gone. Vou could
hardly tell that it had ever been a flower.
And there are a great many Christian peo-
pie in this day just pulling apart their
Christian experiences to see what there is
in them, and there is nothing attractive
left. This style of self examination is a
damage instead of an advantage to their
Christian character. I remember when I
was a boy I used to have a small piece in
the garden that I called my own, and I
planted corn there, and every few days I
would pull it up to see how fast it was
growing. Now, there are a great many
Christian people in this day whose self ex
amination merely amounts to the pulling
up of that which they only yesterday or
the day before planted. -
Ob, my friends! if you want to have a stal
wart Christian character, plant it right out
of doors in the great field of Christian use-
' fulness, and though storms may come
upon it, and though the hot sun of trial
may try to consume it, it will thrive until
it becomes a great tree, in which the fowls
of heaven may have their habitation. 1
have no patience with these flowerpot
. Christians. They keep themselves under
shelter, and all their Christian experience
in a small, exclusive circle, when they
ought to plant it in the great garden of the
Lord, so that the whole atmosphere could
be aromatic with their Christian useful-
ness. What we want in the church of God
is more brawn of piety.
The century plant is wonderfully sug
gestive and wonderfully beautiful, but I
never look at it without thinking of its
parsimony. . It lets whole generations go
by before it puts forth one blossom; so I
have really more heartfelt admiration
when I see the dewy tears in tba blue eyes
of the violets, for they coine evary spring.
My Christian friends, time is going by so
raipdly that we cannot afford to be idle.
A recent statistician says that human life
now has an average of only thirty-two
years. From these thirty-two years you
must subtract all the time you take for
sleep and the taking of food and recrea
tion; that will leave you about sixteen
years. From those sixteen years yon must
subtract all the time you are necessarily
engaged in the earning of a livelihood;
that will leave you about eight years.
From those eight years you must take all
the days and weeks and months all the
length of time that is passed in childhood
and sickness, leaving you about one year
in which to work for God. Oh. my soul,
wake upl How darest thou sleep in har
vest time and with' so few hours in which
to reap? - So that I state it as a simple fact
that all the time that the vast majority of
you wiii have for the exclusive service of
God will be less than one year!
GO OCT ANI COMPEL THKM.
"But." says some man, 'l liberally sup
. .-port the Gospel, and the church is open
Sf fflg SSSKSySiSS
if they want to be saved let them come to
be saved: I have discharged all my respon
sibility." Ah I is that the Master's spirit?
Is there not an old Book somewhere that
commands us to go out into the highways
and the hedges and compel the people to
come in ? What would have become of you
and me if Christ had not come down off
the hills of heaven, and if he had not come
through the door of the Bethlehem cara
vansary, and if he had not with the crashed
hand of the crucifixion knocked at the iron
gate of the sepulcher of our spiritual
death, crying, "Lazarus, come forth?"
Oh, my Christian friends, this is no time
for inertia, when all the forces of darkness
seem to be in full blast; when steam print
ing presses are publishing infidel tracts;
when express railroad trains are carrying
messengers o sin; when fast clippers are
laden with opium and rum; when the night
air of our cites is polluted with the laugh
ter that breaks up from the ten thousand
saloons of dissipation and abandonment;
when the flres'of the second death already
are kindled in the cheeks of some who
only a little while, ago were incorrupt.
Never since the curse fell upon the earth
has there been a time when it was such an
unwise, such a cruel, snch an awful thing
for the church to sleepl The great audi
ences are not gathered in the Christian
churches; the great audiences are gathered
in temples of sin tears of unutterable woe
their baptism, the blood of crushed hearts
the awful wine of their sacrament, blas
phemies their litany, and the groans of the
lost world the organ dirge of their worship.
Again; if you want to be qualified to
meet the duties which this age demands of
you, you must on the one. hand avoid reck
less iconoclasm, and on the other hand not
stick too much to things because they are
old. The air is full of new plans, new
projects, new theories of government, new
theologies, and I am amazed to see how so
many Christians want only novelty in
order to recommend a thing to their confi
dence; and so they vacillate and swing to
and fro, and they are useless and they are
unhappy. New ' plans secular, ethical,.
philosophical, religious, cisatlantic, trans
atlantic. Ah, my brother, do not adopt a
thing merely because it is new. Try it by
the realities of a judgment day.
But, on the other hand, do not adhere to
anything merely because it is old. There
is not a single enterprise of the church or
the world but has sometimes been scoffed
at. There was a time when men derided
even Bible societies; and when a few young
men met near a haystack in Massachusetts
and organized the first missionary society
ever organized in this country: there went
laughter and ridicule all around the Chris
tian church. They said the undertaking
was Drenosterous.
And so also the work of Jesus Christ
was assailed. People cried out, "Whoever
heard of such theories of ethics and gov
ernment? Whoever noticed such a style
of preaching as Jesus has?" Kzekiel had
talked of mysterious wings and wheels.
Here came a man from Capernaum and
Gennesaret, and he drew his illustrations
from the lakes, from the sand, from the
ravine, from the lilies, from the constalks.
How the Pharisees "scoffed! How Herod
derided! How Caiphas hissed! And this
Jesus they plucked by the beard, and they
spat in his face, and they called him "this
fellow!" All the great enterprises in and
out of the church have at times been
scoffed at, and there have been a great
multitude who have thought that the
chariot of God's truth would fall to pieces
if it once got out of the old rut.
' MILLIONS NEVER HEAR THE GOSPEL.
And so there are those who have no pa
tience with anything like improvement in
church architecture or with anything like
good, hearty, earnest church Ringing, and
they deride any form of religious discussion
which goes down walking among everyday
men rather than that which makes an ex
cursion on rhetorical stilts. Oh, that the
Church of God would wake up to an adapt
ability of work! We must admit the sim
ple fact that the churches of Jesus Christ
in this day do not reach the great masses.
There are fifty thousand people in Edin
burgh, who never hear the Gospel. There
are one million people in London who
never hear the Gospel. There are at least
three hundred thousand souls in the city
of Brooklyn who come not under the im
mediate ministrations of Christ's truth,
and the Church of God in this day, instead
of being a place full of living epistles, read
and known of all men, is more like a "dead
letter" postofflce.
"But," say the people, "the world is go
ing to be converted. You must be patient.
The kingdoms of this world are to become
the kingdoms of Christ." Never, unless
the church of Jesus Christ puts on more
speed and energy. Instead of the church
converting the world, the world is convert
ing the church. Here is a great fortress.
How shall it be taken? An army comes
and sits around about it, cuts 09 the sup
plies and says, "Now we will just wait un
til from exhaustion and starvation they
will have to give up." - Weeks and months,
and perhaps a year, pass along, and finally
the fortress surrenders through that star
vation and exhaustion. But, my friends.
the fortresses of sin are never to be taken
in that way. If they are taken for God it
will be by storm. You will have to bring
up the great siege guns of the Gospel to the
very wall, and wheel the flying artillery
into line, and when the armed infantry of
heaven shall confront the battlements you
will have to give the quick command:
"Forward! Charge!"
Ah, my friends, there is work for you to
do and for me to do in order to achieve this
grand accomplishment! Here is a pulpit.
and a clergyman preaches in it. Your pulpit
is the bank. Your pulpit is the store. Your
pulpit is the editorial chair. Your pulpit
is the anviL Your pulpit is the house
scaffolding. Your pulpit is the mechanic's
shop. . I may stand in this place and,
through cowardice or through self seeking,
may keep back the word I ought to utter;
while you, with sleeve rolled up and brow
besweated with toil, may utter the word
that will jar the foundation of heaven with
the shout of a great victory. Oh, that to-'
day this whole audience might feel that
the Lord Almighty is putting upon them
the hands of ordination. Every one,' go
forth and preach this gospel. Yon have
as much right to preach as I have, or as
any man has. Only find out the pulpit
where God will have you preach, and there
preach.
Hedley Vicars was a wicked man in the
English army. The grace of God came to
bim. He became an earnest and eminent
Christian. They scoffed at-him and saidt
"You are a hypocrite; yon are as bad as
ever you were." Still be kept his faith in
Christ, and after awhile, finding that they
could not turn him aside by calling him
hypocrite,' they said to him, "Ob, you are
nothing but a fanatic." That did not dis
turb him. He went on performing his
r!hriKtinn dntv nnt.ll ha had formed all his
tmnn into a Bible class, and the whole en
pjimnmrnt wax shaken with the nresenceol
God. So Havelock went into the heathen
tomnleiri India while the Emrlish . armv
was there, and put a candle into the hand
of each of the heathen cods that stood
around in the heathen temple, and by the
lit of those candles, held up by the Idols,
General Havelock preached righteousness.
temperance and judgment to come. And
who will say, on earth or in heaven, that
Havelock had not the right to preach?
THE MOVING PRAYEK OF FAITH. '
In the minister's house where I prepared
for college there, was a man who worked
by the name of Peter Croy. He 'could
neither read nor write, but he was . a
man of God. Often theologians would
stop in the house grave theologians and
at family prayers Peter Croy would be
tailed upon to lead, and all those wise men
sat around, wonderstrnck at his religious
efficiency. When he prayed he reached up
and seemed to take hold of the very throne
of the Almighty, and he talked with God
until the very heavens were bowed down
into the sitting room. Oh, if I were dying
1 would rather have plain Peter Croy kneel
by my bedside and commend my immortal
spirit to God than some heartless ecclesi
astic arrayed : in costly canonicals. - Go
preach this gospel. You say you are not
licensed. In the name of the Lord Al
mighty, this morning, I license you. Go
preach this gospel preach it in the Sab
bath schools, in the prayer meetings, in the
highways, in. the hedges. Woe be unto
you if you preach it not. .
I remark, again, that in order to be
qualified to meet your duty in this partic
ular age you want unbounded faith in the
triumph of the truth and the overthrow
of wickedness. How dare the Christian
church ever get discouraged? Have we not
the Lord Almighty on our side? How long
did it take God to slay the hosts of -Sennacherib
or burn Sodom or shake down
Jericho?. How long will it take God,,when
he once arises in his strength, to overthrow
all the forces of iniquity? Between this
time and that there may be long seasons of
darkness the chariot wheels of God's Gos
pel may seem to drag heavily, but here is
the promise, and yonder is the throne; and
when Ominiscience has lost its eyesight
and Omnipotence falls back impotent and
Jehovah is driven from his throne, then
the church of Jesus Christ can afford to be
despondent, but never until then. Despots
may plan and armies may march, and the
congresses of the nation may seem to think
Ihsy are adjusting all the affairs of the
world, but the mighty men of the earth are
only the dust of the chariot wheels of God's
providence. .
I think that before the sun of ' this cen
tury shall set, the last tyranny may fall,
and with a splendor of demonstration that
shall be the astonishment of the. universe
Cod will set forth the brightness and pomp
and glory and perpetuity of his eternal
government. Out of the starry flags and
the emblazoned insignia of this world God
will make a path for his own triumph, and
returning from universal conquest he will
sit down, the grandest, strongest, highest
throne of earth his footstool.
Then shall all nations' song ascend
To Thee, our Ruler, Father, Friend, '
Till heaven's high arch resounds again
With "Peace on earth, good will to men,"
THERE IS GREAT ENCOURAGEMENT.
I preach this sermon because I want to
encourage all Christian workers in every
possible department. Hosts of the living
God, march on! march on! His spirit will
bless you. His shield will defend you.
His sword will strike for you. March on!
march on! The last despotism " will fall,
and paganism will burn its idols, and Mo
hammedanism will give up its false proph
et and the great walls of superstition will
come down in thunder and wreck at the
long, loud blast of the Gospel trumpet.
March on! March on! The besiegement
will soon be ended. Only a few more steps
on the long way; only a few more sturdy
blows; only a few more battle cries, then
God will put the laurel upon your brow,
and from the living fountains' of heaven
will bathe off the sweat and the heat and
t he dust of the conflict. -'
March on! March on! For you the time
for work will soon be past, and amid the
oat flashings of the judgment throne and
the trumpeting of resurrection angels and
the upheaving of a world of graves and
the hosanna of the saved and the groaning
of the lost, we shall be rewarded for our
faithfulness or punishea for our stupidity.
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from
everlasting 'to everlasting, and let the
whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen
and amen.
People Who Can't Get a Pas.
An Interesting monthly publication

papers on the list are all weeklies, and in
clude many trade papers and one or two of
religious complexion.

Marshall P. Wilder is telling Londoners

Trfe SPIRIT OF WORK.
Steadfastness to Ideals Is the Traa Prin
ciple of the Higher Life.
On the part of faithful workers the spirit
of work must, ever consist of a constantly
careful adherence to the truth. This is
not the lightest way to work. It is always
easier to copy the work of others than to
work from nature, whether the creation
belongs to the 'highest art or the lowest
kind of manual labor. .
- The usual aim of a worker is to follow
the best accepted models, and to secure a.
perfect imitation is his highest ambition.
He has no belief in his own thought sim
ply expressed. He takes his idea from this
authority, and bis method of transferring
It to the minds-of others from that. 'He
tries to please the eye, and creates forms
striking, showy, even beautiful with the
beauty of skillful imitation.
He tries to charm the ear, and utters
fine, fanciful phrases, sonorous sentences,
words which appeal to the imagination
and show a wide knowledge of the produc
tions of other people. But this is never
the way to reach the heart, for the heart is
satisfied only with the truth, and if the ex
pression is not true to the thought, then it
is falsehood, and the nobler the thought
the worse the guilt of the caricature. .
Such work answers for passing human
needs. It has often a fair body. But if it
has no soul of its own it cannot live, and
though used in lieu of that which is better,
when the need that used it dies it dies too.
The other sort of work is slow and pain
ful. Once begun, there is no more rest for
the worker. Though he labor with un
ceasing effort, he sees more and more
clearly how feeble is his expression of the
truth he would have it declare. He works
with a heart that falters and with hands
that tremble as they move. Ahl very poor
and weak must be our best attempts, yet
to work nearer to the truth in each mo
ment of our working lives is the divinest
blessing we can ask. To reach it is of the
things hoped for not seen. But it is the
things not seen which are eternal.
The. work is slow. It is a life work.
What better life work can there - be? The
work is painful. It is through much trib
ulation we enter the kingdom. For a mo
ment, is the struggle to be compared to the
victory? The work is - difficult. Again
and again are we thrown back, bruised
and faint, to cry, "Who can endure to the
end?" :
But hard, and toilsome and slow though
it be, we must labor. Steep and stony
though the path, we must climb it. By
and by, when no longer through a glass
darkly, but face to face, we read the mean
ing of all the hardship, the slow growth
and the bitter suffering, then out of the
temple our human hands have built shall
shine out the spirit of truth, which we
waited for. with an inexpressible longing.
For we must sow with painstaking zeal
and patient abiding. We must water of
ten wiA tears. It is only God who giveth
the increase. Harper's Bazar.

A Revelation.
Few people know that the
bright bluish-green color of
the ordinary teas exposed in
the windows is not the nat
ural color. Unpleasant as the
fact may be, it is nevertheless
artificial; mineral coloring
matter being used for this
purpose. The effect is two-;
fold. It not only makes the
tea a bright, shiny green, but also permits the
use of " off-color " and worthless teas, which,
once under the green cloak, are readily
worked off as a good quality of tea. '
' ' An eminent authority writes on this sub
ject: "The manipulation of poor teas, to give
them a finer appearance, is carried on exten
sively. Green teas, being in this country .
especially popular, are produced to meet the
demand by coloring cheaper black kinds by
glazing or facing with Prussian blue, tumeric,
gypsum, and indigo. Tltia method is so gen-
eral that very little genuine uneolored green tea
is offered for tale."
It was the knowledge of this condition of
affairs that prompted the placing of Beech's
Tea before the public. It is absolutely pure
and without color.- Did you ever see any
genuine uneolored Japan tea? . Ask your
grocer to open a package of Beech's, and yon
will see it, and probably for the very first
time. It will be found in color to be just be
tween the artificial green tea that you have
been accustomed to and the black teas.
It draws a delightful canary color, and Is so
fragrant that it will be revelation to tea
drinkers. Its purity makes it also mors
economical than the artificial teas, for lest
of it is required per cup. Sold only in pound
