ONE WEEK'S WORK THE SUBJECT
OF DR. TALMAGE'S SERMON.

the Creation, and Hops Mot Ilenltntu to
Say So -Mint Kniplnitlcall A Notable
Sermon Trenched Sunday, May 84.
Brooklyn, Mny 34. ThestrlklnKserinon
Dr. Taltimgc delivered tills morning to ou
midieiiuu which filled the new Tabernacle
In every part dealt with n topic of interest
to all who have watched the iII&oiismious
now agitating tho churches. Wherever
the question of the inspiration of tho Bible
Is raised, the trust worthiness of tho Mosaic
narrative of tho creation li alwayw tho
point chiefly assailed. Tho fact that so
prominent and eloquent a preacher as Dr.
Talmage places himself clearly on record
ou tho side of orthodoxy will doubtless
have a marked influence on public opinion.
Ilia text was Genesis i, 31, "And the evening
and tho morning wero tho sixth day."
From Monday morning to Saturday
night gives ns a week's work. If we have
filled that week with successes we aro
liappy. But I am going to tell you what
God did in one week. Cosmogony, geology,
astronomy, ornithology, Ichthyology, bot
any, anatomy aro such vast subjects that
no human life is long enough to exploro or
comprehend any one of them. But I have
thought I might in an unusual way tell
you a little of .what God did in ono week,
nnd that the first week. And whether you
make it a week of days or a week of ages, I
care not, for I shall reach tho same prac
tical result of reverence and worship.
THE FIKST MONDAY MORNING.
The first Monday morning found swing
ing in spaco tho piled up lumber of rocks
and metal and soil and water from which
the earth was to be builded. God made
up his mind to create a human family, and
they must have a house to live in, But
where? Not a roof, not a wall, not a door,
not a room was fit for human occupancy
Thero is not a pile of black basalt in Yel
lowstone park or an extinct volcano in
Honolulu so Inappropriate for human resi
denco ns was this globe at that early period.
Moreover, there was no human architect
to draw a plan, no quarryman to blast the
foundation stones, no carpenter to hew out
a beam, and no mason to trowel a wall.
Poor prospectl But the time was coming
when a being called man was to bo con
structed, and he was to have a bride; and
whero he could find a homestead to which
ho could take her must have been a won
dcrmeut to angelic intelligences.
There had been eaithquakes enough and
volcanoes enough and glaciers enough, but
earthquakes and volcanoes and glaciers
destroy lubtead of build. A worso looking
world than this never swung. It was
heaped up deformities, scarifications and
monstrosities. Tho Bible says it was with
out form. That is, it was not round, it
was not square, it was not octagonal, it
was uot a rhomboid. God never did take
any ono in his counsels, but if he had asked
home angel about the attempt to turn this
planet into a placo for human residence

somo other, wirlJ: ilm--tiOUUiftujif i
., t --" - s; "Crevices of this
-'-"Ji vJ.Irth are too deep; its crags aro tooap
palling; its darkness is too thick."
But Monday morning came. I think it
was a Bpring morning and about half-past
four o'clock. The first thing needed was
l'ght. It was not needed for God to work
1y, for ho can work as well in tho dark
.icss. But light may be necessary, for an
gelic intelligences aro to see In its full
glory tho process of world building. But
where are tho candles, whero aro the can
delabra, whero is the chandelier? No rising
sun will roll in tho morning, for if tho sun
's already created its light will not yet reach
tho earth in three days. Nor moon norstars
tan brighten this darkness. Tho moon and
stars aro not born yet, or if created their
light wlH not reach tho earth for somo
timo yet. But thero is need of immediate
light. Where shall itcomo from? Desir
lug to account for things in a natural way
you say, nnd reasonably say, thut heat and
electricity throw out light independent of
thobuu, nnd that tho metallic bases throw
out light independent of tho sun, and that
alkalies throw, out light independent of
tho sun.
Oh, yes, all that is true, but I do not
think that is tho way light was created.
Tho record makes mo think that, stauding
over this earth that spring morning, God
looked upon the darkness that palled the
heights of this world, and tho chasms of it,
and tho awful reaches of it, and uttered,
whether in the Hebrew of earth orsomelau
guago celestial I know not, that word
which stands for the subtle, bright, glow
ing and all pervading fluid, that word
which thrills and garlands and lifts every
thing it touches, that word tho full mean
lng of which all tho chemists of tho ages
have busied themselves iu exploring, that
ivord which suggests ii forco that files one
hundred and ninety thousand miles in a
second, and by undulations seven hundred
and twenty-seven trillions In a second, that
ono word that God lit tors Light!
And instantly the darknoss began to
shimmer, and tho thick folds of blackness
to lift, and thero wert) scintillations nud
coruscations and Hushes nnd a billowing
up of resplendence, nnd in great sheets it
spread out northward, southward, east
ward, westward, and a radiauco tilled the
atmosphere until it could hold no moro of
tho brilliance. Light now to work by
wlillosupornatur.il intelligences look on.
Light, tho first chapter of tho first day of
tho week. Light, tho joy of all the cent
uries. Light, tho greatest blessing that
over touched tho human eye. The robe of
tho Almighty Is woven out of it, for h
covers himself with light as with a gar
ment. Oh, blessed lightl I am so glad
this was tho first thlug created that week.
Good thine to start every week witli is
-"Sgi light. That will tnako our work easier

Tho great German philosopher in his last
moment said, "I want moro light," A min
uter of Christ recently dying cried out in
exultation, "I move into tho light!" Mr.
Toplady, tho immortal hymuologist, iu
his expiring momenta uxolaimed, "Light!

Upon nil supersutiou, upon all ignorance,

TUWAV'S WUB&.
Now it is Tueada morning. A dellaate
and trenieudoiw uwlertaWna k t apart
for this day. There was a great nuper
abundance of water. God, by the wave ol
Id hand, tbU uioruiug gather part of it
in suspended reservoirs, and part of it ho
orders down into the rivers and lakes nnd
seas. How to hang whole Atlantic oceans
iu the clouds without their spilling over
except in right quantities and at right
times was an undertaking that no one but
Omnipotence would have dhrcd. But God
does It as easily as you would lift a glass of
water. There he hoists two clouds, each
thirty miles wide and five miles high, and
balances them. Here he lifts the cirrous
clouds and spreads them out in great white
banks as though it had been snowing in
heaven. And tho cirro-stratus clouds in
long parallel lines, so straight you know
an infinite geometer has drawn vthem.
Clouds which aro tho armory from which
thunder storms get their bayonets of fire
Clouds which are oceaus on the wing. No
wonder, long after this first Tuesday of
creation week, Elihu confounded Job with
tho question, "Dost thou know tho bal
ancings of tho clouds?"
Half of this Tuesday work done, the
other halt is tho work of compelling the
waters to lie down in their destined places.
So God picks up the solid ground and
packs it up into five elevations, which r.re
tho continents. With his finger he makes
deep depressions in them, nnd these are
the lakes, whilo at the piling up of the Al
leghanles and Sierra Nevadas and Pyre
nees and Alps and Himalayas the rest of
tho waters start by tho law of gravitation
to the lower places, and in their run down
hill become tho rivers, and then all around
tho earth these rivers come into convention
and becomo oceans beneath, as the clouds
aro oceans above. How soon the rivors got
to their places when God said: "Hudson
and James and Amazon, down to tho At
lautic; Oregon and Sacramento down to
the Pacific."
Threc-quarteis of the earth being water
and only one-quarter being land, nothing
but Almightlness could have caged tbe
three-fourths so that they-could not have
dovoured tho one-fourth. Thank God for
water and plenty of it. What a hint that
God would have tho human racoverycleau1
Three-fourths of tho world water. Pour
it through the homes and make them pure.
Pour It through tho prisons and make their
occupants moral. Pour It through the
streets and make them healthy. Thero are
several thousand peoplo asleep in Green
wood who but for tho filthy streets of
Brooklyn and New York would have been
today well and in churches. Moreover,
thero never was a filthy street that re
mained a moral street.
How important an agency of reform
water is, was illustrated by the fact that
when the ancient world got outrageously
wicked it was plunged into tho deluge and
kept under for montlis till its iniquity was
soaked out of it. But I rejoice that on tho
first Tuesday of the world's existence the
wuter was taught to know its place, and
tho Mediterranean lay down at the feet of
Europe, and tho Gulf of Mexico lay down
at the feet of North America, and Geneva
lay down at tho feet of the Alps, and
Scroon lake fell to sleep in tho lap of the
Adlrondacks. "And the evening and the
morning wero the second day."

But look youderl Something starts out of
tho ground and goes higher up, higher and

is a palm tree. Yonder is another growth,
aud its leavas hang far down, aud it is a
willow tree. Aud yonder is a growtli with
mighty sweep of branches. And here they
como tho pear, and tho apple, and the
peach, and tho pomegranate, and groves
and orchards and forests, their shadows
and their fruit girdling tho earth.
Wo aro pushing agriculture and fruit
culturo to great excellence in tho Nine
teenth century, but we have nothing now
to equal what I seo on this first Wednesday
of the world's existence. I take a taste of
one of tho apples this Wednesday morning,
and I tell you it mingles in its juices all
tho flavors of Spitzbergon and Newtown
pippin nnd Khodo Island greening and
Danvers Winter Sweet nnd Kosbury rus
set and Hubbardston Nonesuch, but added
to all, and overpowering all other flavors,
is tho paradisaical juice that all the or
chards of tho Nineteenth century fail to
reach. I take a taste of the pear, and it
has all the luxury of the three thousand
varieties of the Nineteenth century; all the
Seckel aud tlio Bartlett of tho pomological
gardens of later times an acidity compared
with it. And tho grapesl Why, this one
cluster has iu it tho richness of wholo vino

all flavors. No hand of man yet made to
pluck it or touguo to taste It. The banquet
for tho hum an race is being spread before
tho arrival of tho first guest.
In tho fruit-of that garden was tho seed
for tho orchards aud gardens of the hemis
pheres. Notice that tho first thing that
God made for food was fruit, and plenty of
It. Slaughter houses nre of later invention
Far am I from being a vegetarian, but an
almost exclusive meat diet is depraviug
Savages confl uo themselves almost esclu
sively to animal food, and that is ono rea

world will have to give dominance to the
fruit diet of Paradise before it gets back to
the morals of Paradise. May God's bless
ing come down on the orchards and vine
yards of America, and keep back the frosts
and the curculio. But we must not forget
that it is Wednesday evening in Eden, and
upon that perfect fruit of those perfect
trees let the curtain drop. "And tho even

TIIK FISHES AND THE DIRD9.
Now it is B'rlday morning in tho first
week of the world's history. Water, but
not n fin swimming it; nir, but not a wing
flying it. It is n silent world. Can It be
that it was niodo only for vegetables? But
hnrkl Thero is a swirl and a sploshing in
all the four rivers of Pison, Glhon, Illd
dekel nnd Euphrates. They are all aswim
with life, somo darting like arrows through
split crystal, and others quiet in dark pools
llko shadows. Everything, from spotted
trout to behemoth, all colored, nil shaped,
the ancestors of finny tribes that shall by
their wonders of construction confound the
Agassizes, tho Cuviers and tho Llnnmuses
nnd the ichthyologists of the more than six
thousand years following this Friday of
the first week.
And while I stand on tho banks of these
Paradisaical rivers, watching theso finny
tribes, I hear a whirr in the air and I look
up and behold wings wings of larks, rob
ins, doves, eagles, flamingoes, albatrosses,
brown threshers. Creatures of all color
blue, as if dipped in the skies; flery, as
if they had flown out of tho sunsets;
golden, as if they had taken their morn
ing bath in buttercups. And while I am
studying the colors they begin to carol
and chirp and coo and twitter and run up
and down tho scales of a music that they
must have heard at heaven's gate. Yes, I
find them in Paradise on this the first Fri
day afternoon of the world's existence. And
I sit down on tho bank of the Euphrates,
and the murmurof tho river, together with
the chant of birds in tho sky, puts me into
a state of somnolence. "And the evening
and the morning wero tho fifth day."
BEASTS AND MEN.
Now it is Saturday morning of the world's
first week and witli this day tho week
closes. But oh, what a climacteric day!
The air has its population and tho water
its population. Yet tho laud has not one
inhabitant. But hero they come, by the
voice of God creatcdl Horses grander than
those which in nfter time Job will describe
as having neck clothed with thunder.
Cattle enough to cover a thousand hills
Sheep shepherded by him who made for
them tho green pastures. Cattle superior
to the Alderneys and Ayrshlres nud Devon
shires of after times. Leopards so beauti

so perfect.

Do you not
that God gave them precedence of
the human race? They were created Fri
day and Saturday morning, as man was
created Saturday afternoon. They havo p
right to bo here. Ho who galls a horse, or
exposes a cow to tho storm, or beats a dog,
or mauls a cat, or gambles at the pigeon
"shooting, or tortures an insect, will have
to answer for it in the judgment day. you
may console yourself that these creatures
aro not immortal and they cannot appear
against you, but the God who made these
creatures aud who saw tho wrong you did
them will be thero. Better look out, you
stock raisers nnd railroad companies who
bring tho cattle on trains without food or
water for three or four days in hot weather,
a long groan of agony from Omaha to New
York.
Better look out, you farmer riding bo

tho blacksmith drove into the quick. Bet
ter look out, you boys stoning bullfrogs
and turning turtles upsido down, nnd rob
bing birds' nests. But something is want
ing in Paradjso and tho week is nlmost
done. Who is thero to pluck tho flowers
of this Kdenic lawn? Who is thero to
command theso worlds of quadruped and
fish and bird? For whom has God put
back tho curtain, from tho fnco of bun and
moon und star? Tho world wants an em
peror nnd empress. It is Saturday after
noon. No ono but tho Iord Almighty can
originate a human being. In tho world
where thero are in the latter part of the
Nineteenth century over fourteen hundred
million people, n human being is not n
curiosity.
But how about the first human eye that
was ever kindled, the first human ear that
was ever opened, tho first human lung that
ever breathed, tho first human heart that
ever beat, the first human life ever con
structed? That needed the origination of
a God. He had no model to work by.
What stupendous work for a Saturday
afternoonl lie must originate a style of
human heart through which all tho blood
in the body must pass every three minutes.
He must make that heart so strong that it
can, during each day, lift whnt would be
equal to one hundred and twenty tons of
weight, and it must bo so arranged as to
beat over thirty-six million times every
year. About five hundred muscles must
be strung in tho right place, and at least
two hundred und fifty bones constructed.
Into this body must bo put at least nine
million nerves. Over three thousand per
spiring pores must be made for every inch
of fleshly surface.
The human voice must be so constructed
It shall lie capable of producing seventeen
trillion flvohundred nnd ninety-two billion
one hundred and eighty-six million forty
four thousand four hundred and fifteen
sounds. But all this the most Insignificant
part of the human being. The soul! Ah,
the construction of that God himself would
uot be equal to if ho were any the less of a
God. IU understanding, its will, its mem

A CHEAT WEEK'S WORK.
What do you think of that ono week's
work? I review it not for entertainment,
but because I would have you join in
David's t!oology, "Great and marvelous
are thy works, Lord God Almighty;" bo
causo I want you to know wjiat a home
stead our Father built for his children nt
the start, though sin has despoiled it, aud
because I want, you to know how the world
will look again when Christ shall have re
stored It, swinging now between two
Edens; because I want you to realize home
thing of what n mighty God ho is, and tho
utter folly of trying to war against him;
becauso I want you to make peace with
this Chief of the Universe through tho
Christ who mediates between offended
Omnipotence and humnn rebellion; be
cause I want you to know how fearfully
and wonderfully you are made, your body
as well as your soul an Omnipotent
achievement; because I want you to real
ize that order reigns throughout tho uni
verse, nnd that God's watohes tick to tho
second, and that his clocks striko regular
ly, though they striko ouco in a thousand
years.
A learned man once asked an old Chris
tian man who had no advantages of school

tho good old man, who probably had never
heard an argument on the subject in nil
his life, made this noble reply: "Sir, I have

they may run well for awhile, but they get

sun and moon and stars keep on this same

of Addison's sublime sentiment when he
writes:

In reason's ear they all rejoice.

Forever singing, as they shine,

An old woman with a green bonnet and
umbrella to match approached a stall at
tho Center market and asked if the eggs
exposed on the couuter for sale wero fresh.
"We don't advertise to sell rotten ones,
ma'am," said the dealer crustiy,
"No, I s'poso not," rejoined tho customer.
"I'd like two dozen, if you please; but I'm
very partie'lar about havin' the black hens'
eggs always,"
The merchant of produce gazed upon her
with nn expression that was half indigna
tion and half disgust.
"How can I tell which were laid by black
hens?" ho growled. "If you know just
pick 'em out for yourself,"
Tho old woman smiled pleasantly, nnd
proceeded, to faeleet from the basket those
of tho eggs which she designated as the
black hens', while the dealer held a bag for
their reception. Ho noticed that all ol
those she choso were of extra size.
"The black hens seem to lay big eggs,
ma'am," ho said finally, when all the
largest ones in his stock had been picked
out.
"Oh, yes," replied tljo qld wquan, as slit
paid for her purchasei "it's always so
Good dayl"
After she had gono the merchant rubbec'
his chin thoughtfully for two or three iin
utes and then remarked to himself:
"By Jove! I oall that about the slickest
trick I've had worked on mo for many i.
day. Black hens' eggs, indeed I All she
wanted was a chance to pick out the big
ones, nnd she got it." With that he looked
not spitefully, but admiringly, after the
old woman and the green bonnef, who
stood for twonty minutes at another stall
nenrbynnd chaffered over the price of a
terrapin, which sho insisted ought to be
cheap becauso tho length of its toe nails
was an infallible indication that it was old

JIUs PepUon's Popularity,
Seeing the announcement of a new book
by Mary E. Denlson reminds nieof this
author's two wonderfully successful books,
"That Husband of Mine" and "That Wife
of Mlno." The btory of theso books was
recently told me by tho publisher. When
Miss Donisou, a number of years ago,
brought the manuscript of "That Husband
of Mine" to her publishers thoy accepted it
doubtfully, and did not feel warranted in
printing more than f00 copies for a first
edition. This was all they expected to
print at all, for thoy did not detect the ele
ments of popularity in it. What was their
surprise, then, to receive orders amount
ing to 2,000 copies on tbe day of pnbllea
tioni
This warned them to begin printing a
large supply, but the orders poured in so
fast that for three weeks they were many
thousand copies behind the demand. The
orders received on a single day amounted
once to 14,000 copies and the total sales of
