Hnooki.i N-, N. Y., Oct. 10. At the Talier
laele this inornlni: the Rev. T. DeWItt Tal-.i:i-re,
D. D., after cxpouudinp pasjages of
M-ripture, gave out the hymn bcirlunlng:
lew ilrm a fuuiiilAtlon, yc ilnls of the Lord,
Ilutli lie lul.l for your f.iltli In 111. excellent wonl!
Tli-- u-l of the ferinoa was I. Samuel, IIL,
HI ''1 : ''Now there as no smith found
througlinut all the laud of Israel, for the
I'liJiMincs paid, 'Lest the Hebrews make
.lie m sn oids or spenrs. Hut all the Isrnclltei
eiit down to the Philistines to sh;irien every
iKin his share, nud his coulter, and his axe,
md his lunttock. Vet they hail a file for the
flintlock, ii ml for the coulters, aisl for the
'oiks, and for the axes, and to sharpen the
foads." Dr. TulmHirc s.poke us follows:

Itcsl The Philistines had carried oft all the
ihicksiu ths. and tora down till the MnrU-unltli-'
shops, anil alK!lshed the blacksinltlis'
;rade In the land of brad. The Philistines
Aould not even allow these paitles to work
:helr vitluablc mines of brass and Iron, nor
riiiilit they make any swords or spears,
l'lirre wero only two swoids left in all the
nnd. Yea, these Philistines went on until
.hey had taken all the grindstones from I he
land of Israel, m thnt If an Isinelitlsh farmer
.vanted to sharpen his plow or h s axe he had
-o go over to the garrison of the Philistines to
;ct it clone.
AM, ritKCACTIONS IN VIN.
There nas only one sharpening instrument
eft in the hind, nnd thutwn- :t tile. The fariu
is and the mechanics having nothing to whet
jp the coulter and the goad, and the plck
xe, save a simple llle, Industry was hindered,
md woik piac-tle.illy disgraced. The great
ilea of these Philistines was to keep the Israel
tes d sarincd. They might get iron out of the
tills to make swords of, but they would not
nave any blacksmiths to weld this iron. If
thei got tin- Iron welded they would have no
Ci'iudstoacs on which to bring the instruments
if ugi (culture or the military weapons up to an
dge. 0, on ixxir wcaS)ii1i-Hs Isrcalltes, rc

Ss-ond Anain- 1 learn from this subject
what a large amntii.t of the church's resources
Is actually hidden, and bmled, uml umlcvcl
oped. 'Mie llilile Intimate" that that was a
xery rich laud, th s land of Israel. It says
"The stones are Iron, ami out of the hills thou
shalt dig bras." and xel hundreds mid thou
sands ol dollars' wortu of this inetal was kent
under the hills. Well that Is the clllllcullty
with the church of (iisl at Ihls cl.iv. Its talent
Is not developed. If one half ol Its rlicigy
could be hioiight out it might take the public
Iniquities of the day bv (he throat and make
them bite the dust, if human cli-cpic-nee were
consecrated to the Lord Jcmis Christ, it would
In a few years persuade this whole esith to
surrender to (Sod. There Is enough unclevel-oH-il
energy In this one church to bring all
HrooUyn to Christ- enough of undcveloH'd
Clniftfnu cnergv in the United States to bring
the whole woild to Christ, hut it Is bulled
under stiata of liidlllereuce, and under whole
mountains of sloth. Now Is It not time for
the mining to begin, and the pickaxes to
plunge, and for this hurled metal to Is- brought
out and put Into the furnaces, and be turned
out howitzers and carbines for the Lord's host!
The vast majority of Christians In this dav
are useless. I'hc'inost of the Lord's battalion
belong to the reserve corps. The most of the
crew arc nsleep in the hummocks. The most
of the metal Is under the hills.
TOO M INV CII11ISTI.VNS i .si:i,i:ss.
O, is it not time fur the chinch of God lo
rouse up and understand that we want all the
energies, all the talent, ami nil the wealth en
listed for Christ's sake 1 I like the nickname
thnt the I'ngllsh soldiers gave to Ulnc-her, the
commander. They culled him "Old For
wards " We linve had enough it-treats In the
church of Christ; let us have a glorious ad
vance. And 1 say to you its the gent-nil said
when his troops were affrighted ;' rising up lit
his slhrups. his hair Hying In the wind, he
lilted up Ills olcc until twenty thousand
troops heard him, crying out, "l orwanl, the
whole line!"
We want all Ihe laymen enlisted. Minis
ters nre numerically too small. They do the
best they can. They ate the most overworked
class on earth. Miiny of them tile of dyspep
sia because they can not get the rltrlit kind of
food to cat, or getting the right kind, are so
woirled that they take II down in chunks.
They die from consumption coming from
early and late exi.nre. If a noxelist or a
historian publishes one book a year, he Is con
sidered Industrious. Hut every faithful pastor
must oilgiuate enough thought for three or
lour xiiluines n year. Ministers receive enough
calls iu a year from men who have maps, and
medicines, and lightning tods, mid pictures to
sell to exhaust their vitality Thev are bored
with agents of all sorts. "They nre set in
draughts at funerals, ami Kilsoui-d bv the mi
ventilated rooms of Invalids, and waited iijhiii
by committees who want addresses made, un
til life becomes a burden to hear.
MiMsriius ii.t, ovnitwoiiKiiti.
It Is not hard study that makes m'uisU-rs
look p,tle. Ills the Infinity of interruptions,
and botherations to which they are subjected.
If I die before my time, It will' lie at the bund
of coimnlitecs that waul an address or a lect
ure. A man called on 1 1 to lo give htm a lect
ure by which he might pay the expenses of his
wedding trip. If there were lllly hours Iu
each clay of the tear, ami I woikeil forty of
them, I could not, do the work of this one par
ish; and I am not behind most eleigymen in
disposition to toll. Numcrlc.ilk too a. mill. It
Is no more the woik of the pulpit to convert
ami save the world Hum It is the work of the
new. If men go to i m n there will be as much
iilood on your skirts as on mine. Let us quit
this email bnce of triluir to save the world lu
ll few clergymen, and let all hands lay hold of
the woik. Give us Iu all our churches two or
thiee ar.iiiscd and qua I lied men and women
to help. In most churches to-day live or ten
tin n arc compelled to do all the woik. A vast
mnjonty of churches nre at their wits' end
how to carry on a prayer meeting If Ihe
mln ster Is not there, when there ou"hl to b
enough pent up cnergi mid icllgioils fence to
maue a meci ng go on w nil sticn jxmvr iititi
the minister would never ho missed. The
church stands working Ihe piimiis of a few

our children shall grow up amid the accursed
surroundings of vice ami shame, or come lo

If, holding wlllilu the church to-day enough
men and women, we net the coward or drone,
1 wish 1 could put enough moral explosives
under tlie conventionalities and imij -stle stu
pidities of the day to blow them to atoms ami
i hat then, with llftv thousand men and women
from all the chutclu-s, knowing nothing hut
Christ anil a desire to bring alll the woiid to
Mini, we might move uhiii the ciieiny's works.
For a little while heaven would not have

Thlid--Ag.iln, 1 learn from this subect that
we sometimes do well to take- advaiituirn of
the world's sharix-iilng Instruments. Ihese
Israelites were reduced lo a llle, and so they
went over lo thegaril-on of the Philistines to
cet their axes, aim tneir goails, mid llieir
plo ts sharKiieil. The ll.blc distinctly slates
it the text which I read at the beginning of

ments now with w hlcli to do this worn, and
the lsr.ie lies did tight when they went over
lo the I'hll.stliics to use tho.r grindstones. My

w.trld's griuclsloiiesl If there he art, if there
be logic, Il tin i o he business fuciiltv on the

Christ's sake'. The fact Is, wo light with too
dull weapons and we work w.th two dull Im
plements. We hack and we muni when we
oughi to make a keen strokcr. Let us go over
among sharp business men, nnd am iiig sharp
l.tciary men, ami Hud out what their tacit Is,

they have science ami art It will do us good to

In other words, let us employ the world's
grindstone. We will listen to their music, and
we will watch their acumen, nnd we will u.vo
their grindstones, mid will hoiiow their philo
sophical impnrutu to miiku our cvK-r.iusnts,
and wc w II borrow their slntlng presses to
publl.h our lllbles, and we will borrow their
rnll trains lo carry our Christina literature
nud we will borrow their shins to lruusioit
our missionaries. That was what made Paul
such a master iu his day. lie not only got all
the learning he could get of Dr. Ilnmlllel, but
afterward, standing ou Mars hill and In trowel
cd tlioroughfure, quoted their xx'lry mid
prnsped their lo'-dc, and wielded their (do
niieiice, and employed thulr mythology, until

He ceinqueied the world's ustronoiny and com
pelled it lo ring out the wisdom unci greatness
of the Iorl until, for the second time Ihe
