TALMAGE TJ-i!NS THE GOLDEN

The Mcul Folly of tlio Israelites find tlift

( the Golden Calf In Tlicso Jjulltst Days.
" I Brooklyn, Nov. 18. The subject of
dfeoourse chosen by Rew Dr. Tnlmngo
for his first sermon after the national
election was one peculiarly appropriate
jto the money making fepirifcof the tiinfed.
it was "The Golden Calf," the text bo-
lected being Exodus xxxii, 20, "And he
(tbok the calf which they had made and
ibarned it in the flro, and ground it ia
powdor and strewed it upon the water
sand made tho children of Israel drink
bf it."
People will havo a god of some kind,
and they prefer ono of their own mak
ing. Here come tho Israelites, breaking
off their golden earrings, tho men as
, Wll ts the women, for in those times
,, there were inasculino as well as femi'
' pine decorations. Whero did they got
. ,i these beautiful gold earrings, coming
T f tip as thoy did from the desert? Oh , they
' '."borrowed" thorn of tho Egyptians when
khey '.left Egypt. These earrings arc
piled up into a pyramid of glittering
Iboauty, "Any more earrings to bring?"
saya Aaron. None. Firo is kindled
i She earrings aro melted and poured into
u , a mold, not of an eaglo or a war charger,
' -, but of a calf; the gold cools off; the
eiold is takon away, and tho idol is set
pon its four legs. ,
, An altar is built In front of the shining
' calf. Then tho peoplo throw up theii
n arms and gyrato and shriek and dance
mightily and' worship. Moses has been
V she weeks on Mount Sinai, and ho comes
jback and hears tho howling and sees

tho dancing of those golden calf fanat

pulverized golden calf and throws" it in

the people aro compelled to drink of that
brook or not drink at all,

But they did not drink all tho glitter

of it flows on down tho surface of the
jbrook to tho river, and then flows on
i "down to tho river to tho sea, and tho sea
takes it up and boars it to tho mouth of
all the rivers, and when tho tides sot
back tho romains of this golden calf are
carried up into the Hudson, and the
East river, and tho Thames, and tha
Clydo, and tho Tiber, and men go out
and they skim thoglittoring surface, and
they bring it ashoro, and thoy make an
other golden calf, and California and
Australia break off their goldon earrings
'to augment tho pilo, and in the fires of
'financial excitement and Btrugglo nil

What docs this god care about tho groans
and straggles of tho victims beforo it?
With colOt, metallic oyo it looks on and
yet lets them suffer. On, heaven and
earth, what an altar, what a sacrifice of
body, mind and soul! Tlie physical
health of a great multitude is flung on
this sacrificial altar, They cannot sleep,
and they take chloral and morphlno and
intoxicants.
Some of then struggle in a nightmare
of stocks, and at ono o'clock in tho morn
ing suddenly rise up shouting, "A thou
sand shares of railroad stock ono hun
dred and eight and a half; take it!" until
tho wholo family is affrighted, and tho
speculators fall back on their pillows and
Bleep until they are awakened again by
a "corner" or a sudden "rise" in some
thing else. Their nerves gone, thoir di
gestion gone, their brain gone, they die.
The clergyman comes in and reads the
funeral sorvice, "Blessed aro the dead
who die in the Lord." Mistake. They
did not "dio in the Lord;" tho golden
calf kicked thoml
ITS DREADFUL SACRIFICE.
The troublo is when men sacrifice
themselves on this altar suggested in the
text they not only sacrifice themselves,
but they sacrifice their families. If rf
man by an ill course is determined to go
to perdition I suppose you will havo to
let him go; but ho puts his wife and
children in an equipage that is tho
amazement of the avenues, and tho
driver lashes tho horses into two whirl
winds, and tho spokes flash in tho sun,
and the golden headgear of the harness
gleams, until Black Calamity takes tho
bits of tho horses and stops them, and
shouts to tho luxurious occupants of the
equipage, "Get outl" They get out.
They get down. That husband and
father flung his "family so hard thoy
nover got up again. There was tho
mark on them for life tho mark of a
Bplit hoof tho death dealing hoof of
tho golden calf.
Solomon offered in ono sacrifice on ono
occasion twenty-two thousand oxon and
ono hundred and twenty thousand sheep;
but that wob a tamo sacrifice compared
with the multitude of men who aro sac
rificing themselves on this altar of tho
golden calf, and sacrificing their fam
ilies with them. Tho soldiers of General
Havelock in India walked litorally ankle
deep in tho blood of tho "honso of jnas
sacro," whoiq two hundred women and
children had been slain by tho Sepoys;
but tho blood around about this altar of
tho, golden calf flows up to tho knee,
flows to tho girdlo. flows to the shoulder,
flows to tho lip. Great God of heaven
and earth, havo mercy I The golden calf
has none.
Still tho degrading worship goes on,
and tho devotees kneel and kiss tho dust,
and count their golden beads, and cross
themselves with tho blood of their own
sacrifice, Tho musio rolls on under the
arches; it is made of clinking silver and
clinking gold and tho rattling specie of
tho banks and brokers' shops and tho
voices of all tho exchanges. Tho soprano
of tho worship is carried by the timid
voices of mon who havo just begun to
speculate, whilo tho deep bass rolls out
from thoso who for ten ycurs of iniquity
havo beon doubly damned. Chorus of
Yoicos rojoicing over what thoy havo
inado! Chorus of voices wailing over
what thoy havo lostl
This toinplo of which I speak stands
open day and night, and thero is tho
flittering god with his four feet on
broken hearts, and thero is the smoking
altar of sacrlflco, new victims evory mo
ment on it, and thero aro tho kneeling
dovotoes, and tho doxology of tho wor
ship rolls on, whilo death stands with
moldy and Bkoloton arm boating time

Somo peoplo tiro very much surprisod
at tho aotlous of folk on tho Stock ex
change. Indeed it is a scono sometimes
that paralyzes description and is bpyond
tho imagination of any ono who has
never looked in. What snapping of fin
ger and thumb and wild gesticulation,
and raving llko hyenas, and stamping
liko buffaloes, nnd swaying to and. fro,
and running ono upon anothor, and deaf
ening: uproar, until tho president of tho
exchange strikes with his mallet four or
ilvo timos, crying, "Ordorl ordorl" and
tho astonished spectator goes out into
tho fresh air feeling that ho has escaped
from pandemonium. What does it all
mean? I will toll you what it means.
The dovotoes of ovory heathen temple
cut themselves to pieces and yoll and
gyrato. This vociferation and gyration
of tho Stock oxohango is all appropriate
This is tho worship of tho goldon calf.
But my text suggests that this wor
ship must bo brokou up, as tho bo
huvior of Moses in my toxt indicated.
Thero aro thoso who say that this golden
calf spoken of in my toxt was hollow
and meroly plated with gold; otherwise
thoy say, Moses could not havo carried
it. I do not know that; but somehow,
perhaps by the assistauco of his frionds,
ho takes up this goldon calf, which is an
open insult to God and man, and throws
It into tho flro, and it is melted, and then
it comos Qut and is cooled off, and by
eorao chemical appliance or by an old
fashioned fllo it is pulverised, and it is
thrown into tho brook, and as a punish
ment tho people aro compelled to drink
the nauseating stuff.

So, my lioarors, you may depend upon
it that God will bum and he will grind
to pieces tho golden calf of modern idol
atry, and he will compel tho people In
their ugony to drink it, If not before,
it will be bo on the last day, I know
not where the fire will begin, whether
at the Battery or Central park, whether
at Brooklyn bridge or ut Bushwick,
whether at Shoreditch, London, or Weet

But, my friends, every dy is day
judgment, and God is all the time
grinding to pieces the golden calf.
Merchants of Brooklyn and Now York
and London, what is the characteristic
of this time in which wo live? "Bad,"
you say. "Professional men, what is
tho characteristic of the times in which
we live? "Bad," you say. Though I
should bo in a minority of ono, I venture
tho opinion that these are tho best times
we havo had, for tho reason that God is
teaching tho world, an never before, that
old fashioned lipnesty is the only thing
that will stand. Wo have learned as
nover beforo that forgeries will not pay;
that the spending of fifty thousand dol
lars on country seats and a palatial city
residence, when there aro only thirty
thousand dollars income, will not pay;
that tho appropriation of trust funds to
our own private speculation will not pay.
We had a great national tumor in tho
shape of fictitious prosperity. Wo called
it national enlargement. Instead of call
ing it enlargement we might better havo
called it o swelling. It has been a tu
mor) and God is cutting it out; has cut
it out and tho nation will get well and
will como back to tho principles of our
fathers and grandfathers whon twice
three mado six instead of sixty, and
when the apples at the bottom of tho
barrel were just as good as the apples
on tho top of the barrel, and a silk hand
kerchief was nothalf cotton, and a man
who wore a fivo dollar coat paid for was
more honored than a man who wore a
fifty dollar coat not paid for.
THE RAOE FOR SPECULATION.
Tho golden calf of our day, liko the
ono of the text, is very apt to bo made
out of borrowed gold. Theso Israelites
of tho toxt borrowed the earrings of the
Egyptians and then molted them into a
god. That is tho way tho gpldon calf ia
made nowadays. A great many house
keepers, not paying for tho articles they
get, borrow of tho grocer, und tho baker,
and tho butcher, and tho dry goods seller.
Then the retailer borrows of tho whole
sale dealer. Then tho wholesale dealer
borrows of the capitalist, and wo borrow
and borrow and borrow until the com
munity is divided into two classes those
who borrow and those who ao borrowed
of. And after awhilo tho capitalist
wants his money and ho rushes upon tho
wholesalo dealer, and tho wholesalo
doaler wants his money and ho rushes
upon tho retailor, and the retailer wants
his money and ho rushes upon tho con
sumer, and wo all go down together.
Thero is many a man iu this day who
rides in a carriage and owes the black
smith for tho tiro, and tho wheolwright
for the wheel, and tho trimmer for the
curtain, and tho driver for unpaid
wages, and tho harness makor for ' the
bridlo, and tho furrier for 'the robo,
whilo from tho tip of tho carriago
tongue clear back to tho tip of the shawl
fluttering out of tho back of tho vehicle
everything is paid for by notes that havo
been three timeB renewed.
PULVERIZING CALF AND WORSHIPERS.
It is this temptation to borrow and
borrow and borrow that keeps the peo
plo everlastingly praying to tho golden
calf for help, and just at tho minute
thoy expect tho help tho goldon calf
treads on them. Tho judgments of God,
like Moses in tho toxt, will rush in and
break up this worship; nud I say, lot tho
work go on until overy man shall learn
to speak truth with his noighbor, and
thoso who make ongagemonta shall fool
thomselves bound to keep them, and
whon a man who will not ropent of his
business iniquity, but goes on wishing
to sattato his caunibal appetite by de
vouring widows' houses, shall by tho
law of tho land bo compelled to ox
change his mansion for Sing Sing. Let
tho golden calf porish I
But, my friends, if wo havo made this
world our god, whon wo como to dio wo
will see our idol demolished. How much
of this world are you going to tako with
you into tho noxt? Will you have two
pockets one in each sido of yonr shroud?
Will you oushlon your coffin with bonds
and mortgages and certificates of stock?
Ah, nol Tho ferryboat that crosses tliis

Wires Along a Trolley Line.
A great many peoplo wonder why
thero aro so many overhead wires along
an electric road, and which of them aro
ulivo or dangerous. Ninety-nine per
sons out of a hundred know nothing
whatever about it. You havo noticed
that alongside the pavement on both
Bide3 of the street is strung a large, well
insulated wire, almost large enough to
bo n cable. That is the feeder. In other
words, that wiro carries tho current
from the power house and at cortain in
tervals contributes it to tho trolley wire.
It is $dl nigh impossiblo for an acci
dent to happen to tho feeder, but oven
then thero would havo to bo a direct
ground connection before much damage
could bo dono. If the feeder should
break and fall to the ground it would
emit a blazo which would provo a warn
ing to all passorsby.
On oither eido of tho trolley wiro aro
two wires which seem to be useless.
Thoy are dead, and are only intended to
shield tho trolloy. Supposo theso wires
wero not thero nnd a telophono wiro
should fall across tho trolloy? Instantly
the voltago which transmits tho cars
would bo flashed into evry telephone

would bo a very severe shook. As it is,

rable day of tho Johnstown flood went
rushing down tho Pennsylvania railroad
tracks from Conemangh to Johnstown
with its shrieking whistlo giving the
alarm of tho oncoming deluge of water.
After tho flood No. 1.140 was found,
bottom upward, buried under the great
bank of Band near where tho engineer
had abandoned it to flee for his lifo from
the flood. Relic hunters cleared away
the sand, and proceeded to dismantle it of
overvthinir thoy could secure. The bell
nnd all tho bras? fixtures wero carried
away, and even the big wooden bumper
was hacked into splinters. After thinga
had quieted down about tho flooded city
the railroad company found tho disl
mantled No, 1,149. It was set on its feet
and brought to Altoona. After a week
in the shops it came out again, showing
no signs of tho ordeal It had passea
through. Since then it has been run as

No. 1,149 was standing on the track.
Just below it was a heavy coal train,
stationary, with nil brakes set. En

back over tho track and saw anothor
coal train, without an engino, come
tearing down tho steep grade. The
switch had not been turned to allow it
to drop down on the next track, as was
intended. Thomas jumped jnst before
the crash and escaped, but No, 1,149 was

The Vunlty of Men nnd 'Women.
One of those learned discussions on
subjects of gravo import with which
English newspapers and their readers
concern themselves is at pi-ef ent raging
in tho columns of a London newspaper
on tho momentous question as to whether
ugly men or ugly women are the more
vain. Of course tho naturo and trend
of tho discussion can easily be imagined,
the men contributors strictly on ono
side and the women on the other.
But ono woman comes to art ingenious
conclusion by way of proof that women
are not vain. She says that men suffer
very little disadvantage with the other
sex on aceoui't of mere ugliness, often
going through lifo absolutely uncon
scious of it. "But whero are the men
generous enough to seek out and pay
court to ugly women" unless they are
rich? Which, she concludes, is proof
that women are above being influenced
by mere physical attractiveness, and
