WTZS Jfi VJflJNlJNU OJUeiT-AJJ JOUBKAii MONDAY SEPTEMBER 25,.183. A AKttSfTMt JUBILEE. AN INTERESTING PROPOSITION FROM DR. TALMAGE. He Suggests in" International Jubilee to Celebrate the NlnotCPn tluudredtli ltlrllj dayof Christ A. Uauqnet For tlin Ilnu Bry An Interestlni-Scnn.on. BnooKum, Sept. 24,-rAt Ihe Brookh n '.(Tabernacle, this iorencxjn. Etov. Dr. Tnl mago ,ipreacbpd a sermon of unusual in terest to a ,vast audience, the subject being "Tho Nineteen Hundredth Anni versary. A Proposition. Concerning It." Tho text was taken ,from Isaiah ix, 0. "To na,acnild is born." Thatis n rpmendous hoar in tho his tory of any family "when nn immortal Bpirit,ia incarnated. Out of av,yery dark cloud, there descends a very bright morn inpt. Qpo life spared, anianother given. All tho bells' of gladness ring over tho cradle. I know not why any one should doubt that of old a star pointed down to tho Saviour's birthplace, for a star of joy points down to every honorablo nativity. A new eternity dates from that hour, that minute. Beautiful and appropriate is the cus tom of celebrating the anniversary of such an event, and clear on into tho eighties and tho nineties tho recurrence of that day of the year in an old man's lifo causes recognition and moro or less con gratulation. So also nations aro ac customed to celebrate the anniversary of their birth and tho anniversary of flirt Vilrth at flipir OTAflf. htrnnfl nr fln- liverers or benefactors. Tho 22d of Feb ruary and tho 4th of July are never allowed to pass in our land without banquet and oration and bell ringing and cannonade. But all other birthday anniversaries are tamo compared with tho Christmas festivity, which celebrates the birthday described in my text. Protestant and Catholic and Greek churches, with all tho power of music and, garland and procession and doxol ogy, put the words of my text into na tional and continental and hemispheric chorus, "To us a child is born." On the 25tH of December each year that is tho themo in St. Paul's and St. Peter's and St. Mark's and St. Isaac's and all tho dedicated cathedrals, chapels, meet ing houses and churches clear round the world. Wo shall soon reach, the nineteen hundreth anniversary of that happiest event of all time. This century is dy ing. Only seven moro pulsations, and its heart will ceaso to beat. The fingers of many of you will writo it at the head of your letters and the foot of your im portant documents, "1000." It will be a physical and moral sensation unlike anything elso you havo before experi enced. Not one hand that wroto "1801" at the induction of this century will havo cunning left to writo "1001" at the induction of another. The death of ono century and tho birth of another century will bo sublimo and suggestive and stupendous beyond all estimate. To stand by tho grave of ono century and by the cradle of another will bo an opportunity such as whole generations of the world's inhabitants never experienced. I pray God that there may be no sickness or casualty to hinder your arrival at that goal or to hinder your taking part in tho veledictory of the departing century and tho salutation of the new. But as that season will bo the nine teen hundredth anniversary of a Sav iour's birth, I now nominate that a great international jubilee or exposition be opened in this cluster of cities by the seacoast on Christmas day, tho 25th of December, 1000, to be continued for at least ono month into the year 1001. This century 'closing Dec. 81, 1000, and the now century beginning Jan. 1, 1001, will it not be time for all nations to turn aside for a few weeks or months from everything else and emphasize tho birth of the greatest being who ever touched our planet, and could there bo aiinore appropriate time for tfuch com memoration than Jhis culmination of tho centuries which aro dated from his nativity? You know that all history dates either from before Christ or after Christ, from B. C. or A. D. It will be the year of our Lord 1000 passing into the year 1001. We havo had tho Centennial at Phila delphia, celobrativo of the one hundredth anniversary of our nation's birth. We have had the magnificent expositions at New Orleans and Atlanta ana Augusta and St. Louis. Wo have tho present World'sexpositionatChicago.celebrative of tho four hundredth anniversary of this continent's emergence, and thero aro at least two other great celebrations promised for this country, and oth er countries will havo their historic events to commemorate, but the one event that has most to do with the wel fare of all nations ia tho arrival of Jesus Christ on this planet, and all the enthu siasm ever witnessed at London or Vien na or Paris or any(of our American cities would be eclipsed'by the enthusiam that would celebrate the ransom of al na tions, tha first step toward the accom plishing of it being taken by an infan tile foot oua winter's night about five miles from Jerusalem, when the clouds dropped the angelio cantata, "Glory to God in tho highest, and on earth peace, good will to men." The three or four questions that would be asked mo concerning this nomination of time and place I proceed to answer. Wliat practical use would come of such international celebration? Answer-Tbe biggest stride the world overtook to ward the evangelizatiou of all nations. That is a grand and wonderful convoca- 11 .U l!mnna rmpTPAS at CuiC&KO. It will put intelligently before the world the nature of false religions which have been Ucutalixing tha nations, tramping womanhood into the dust, enacting the horrors of infanticide, kindling funeral pyrea for ahrieking victims, and rolling juggernaut across the mangled bodies ot their worshipers. Bat no on appose that any one. will be converted to ChrUt by bearing Con fnfJnIH or Buddhism or any form of bMtfeMlmt eulofiwd. That U to be done afterward. And how can it so well be dono as by n celebpition of many weeks of tho birth and character and achievements of tho wondrous and un precedented Christ? To such an exposi tion the kings and queens of the earth would not send their representatives they would come themselves. Tho story of ti Saviour's advent could not be told without telling the story of his mission. All the world would say, "Why this ado, this universal demon stration?" What a vivid presentation it Would be, whon at such a convocation tho physicians of tho world should tell what Christ had dono for hospitals and tho assuagement of human pain, and when Christian lawyers declare what Christ has done for the establishment of good laws, and Christian conquerors should tell what Christ had dono in tho conquest of nations, and Christian rulers of the earth would tell what Christ had dono in the government of earthly do minions! Thirty days of such celebration would do moro to tell the world who Christ is than any 80 years. Not a land on earth but would hear of it and discuss it. Not an eyo so dimmed by the superstition of ages but would see the illumination. Tho difference of Christ's religion from all others is that its one way of dissemi nation is by a simple "telling," not ar gument, not skillful exegetists, polemics or the science of theological fisticuffs, but "telling." "Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh." "Go quickly and tell his disciples that he has rison from tho dead." "Go home to thy friends and tell them how great things the Lord hath donu for thee." "When ho is come, he will tell us all things." A religion of "telling." And in what way could all nations so well bo told that Christ had come as by such an international emphasizing of his nativity? All India would cry out about such an affair, for you know they have their railroads and telegraphs. "What is going on in America?" All China would cry out, "What is that great ex citement in America?" All the islands of tho sea would come down to the gang planks of tho arriving ships and ask, "What is that they aro celobrating in America?" It would bo the mightiest missionary movement the world has ever seen. It would bo tho turning point in tho world's destiny. It .would waken tho slumbering nations with one touch. Question the Second How would you have such an international jubilee con ducted? Answer All arts should be marshaled, and art in its most attract ive and impressive shape. First, archi tecture. While all academies of music, and all churches, and all great halls would bo needed, thero should be ono great auditorium erected to hold Buch an audience as has never been seen on any sacred occasion in America. If Scribonius Curio, at tho cost of a kingdom, could build the first two vast amphitheaters, placing them back to back, holding great audiences for dra matic representation, and then by won derful machinery could turn tnem round with all their audiences in them, making tho two auditoriums ono amphi theater, to witness a gladitorial contest, and Vespasian could construct the Col iseum with its 80 columns, and its tri umphs in three orders of Greek archi tecture, and a capacity to hold 87,000 people seated and 15,000 standing, and all for purposes of cruelty and sin, can not our glorious Christianity rear in honor of our glorious Christ a structure large enough to hold 50,000 of its wor shipers? If wo go groping now among t $ ruined amphitheaters of Verona auu Pompeii and Capua and Puzzuoliaud Tarraco, and then stand transfixed with amazement at their immense sweop that held from 60,000 to 100,000 spectators gathered for carousal and moral degra dation, could not Christianity afford one architectural achievement that would hold and enthrall its 60,000 Christian disciples? Do you say no human voice could bo heard throughout such a building? Ah! then you were not present when at tho Boston peace jubilee Parepa easily with her voico en chanted 60,000 auditors. And tho time is near at hand when in theological seminaries, where our young men are being trained for tho ministry, the voice will bo developed, and instead of the mumbling ministers, who speak with so low a tono you cannot bear unless you lean forward and hold your hand behind your ear, and then aro able to guess the general drift of tho subject and decide quite well wneiner it uuuun Moses or Paul or sonio one else instead of that you will have coining from the theological seminaries all over tho land young ministers with voice enough to command the attention of an audienco of 60,000 people. That is the reason that tho Lord gives us two lungs instead of ono. It is tho Divine way of saying physiologically, "Be heard!" That is the reason that the Now Tea tament in beginning the account of Christ's sermon on the mount describes our Lord's plain articulation and re sound of utterance by saying, "He open ed his mouth." In that mighty concert hall and preaching place which I sug gest for this nineteen hundredth anni versary let music crown our Lord. Bring all tho orchestras, all the orato rios, all tho Philharmonio and Handel and n&vdn societies. Then give us iiayans oratorio oi mo "Creation," for our Lord took part in universe bnildJng and "without him," says John, 'wa not anything made that was made," and Handel'a "Messiah" and Beethoven's "Symphonies" and Mendels sohn's "Elijah," the prophet that typi fied our Christ and tho grandest compo sitions of German and English and American masters, living or dead. All instruments that can hnm or roll or whisper or harp or flute or clap or trumpet or thunder the praise of the Lord joined to all voices that can chant or warble or precentor multitudinous worshipers. What an arousing when K000 join in "Antioch" or ''Coronation or "Ariel." rising into halleluiah or .no dding into an aluic- supernatural amenl Yea, let sculpture Und on pedestal all around Out buildtag-thj form apoittM wi iflArtrrf mn vomtai who spoke or wrought or Buttered by headsman's ax or fire. Where to iny fa vorite of all art"), this art of sculpture, that it is not busier for Christ or that its work is not better appreciated? Let It come forth at that world's jubileo of tho nativity. Wo want a second Phidias to do for that new temple what tho first Phidias did for the Parthenon. Let tho marble of Carrara como to resurrection to celebrate our Lord's resurrection. Let sculptors set up in that auditorium of Christ's celebration bas-relief and intaglio descriptive of the battles won for our holy religion. Where are tho Canovas of tho nineteenth century? Wheroaro the American Thorwaldsens and Chan treys? Hidden somewhere, I warrant you. Let sculpture turn that placo into an other Acropolis, but moro glorious by as much as our Christ is stronger than their Hercules, and has moro to do with the Bea than their Neptune, and raises great er harvests than their Ceres, and rouses more musio in the heart of the world than their Apollo. "Tho gods of tho heathen are nothing but dumb idols, but our Lord made tho heavens." In marble pure as snow celebrate him who came to make us "whiter thatf snow." Let tho chisel aa well as pencil and pen be put down at tho feet of Jesus. Yea, let painting do its best. Tho for eign galleries will loan for such a jubileo1 their Madonnas, their Angelos, their Rubens, their Raphaels, their "Christ at the Jordan," or "Christ at tho Last Supper," or "Christ Coming to Judg ment," or "Christ on the Throne of Uni versal Dominlou," and our own Morans will put their pencils into, the nineteen hundredth anniversary, and our Bier stadts from sketching "Tho Domes of the Yosemite" will ,como to present the domes of tho world conquered for Ini manueL Added to all this I would havo a floral decoration on a scale never equaled. Tho fields and open gardens could not fur nish it, for it will bo winter, and that season appropriately chosen, for it was into tho frosts and desolations of winter that Christ immigrated when ho camo to our world. But while tho fields will bo baro, tho conservatories and hot houses within 200 miles would gladly keep the sacred coliseum radiant and aromatic during all the convocations. Addod to all let there be banquets, not liko tho drunken bout at tho Metro politan Opera Houso, New York, celo brating tho centennial of Washington's inauguration, where tho rivers of wine drowned tho sobriety of 60 many sen ators and governors apd generals, but a banquot for tho poor, tho feeding of scores of thousands of people of a world in which the majority of tho inhabitant havo never yet had enough to eat, not a banquet at which a few favored men and women of social or political fortune Bhall sit, but such a banquet as Christ ordered when he told his servants to "go out into tho highways and hedges and compel them to como in." Let tho may ors of cities and tho governors of states and tho president of tho United States proclaim a whole week of legal holiday at least from Christmas day to New Year's day. Added to this let thero ba at that in ternational moral and religious exposi tion a mammoth distribution of sacred literature. Let tho leading ministers of religion from England, Scotland, Ire land, Franco, Germany and the world tako tho pulpits of all those cities and tell what they know of him whoso birth wo celobrato. At those convocations lot vaBt auras of money be raised for churches, for asylums, for schools, for colleges, all of which institutions wero born in tho heart of Christ. On that day and in that 6oason when Christ gave himself to the world let tho world givo itsolf to him. Why do I proposo Amorica as tho coun try for this convocation? Because most Other lands havo a state religion, and while all forms of religion may bo toler atod in many landa America is tho only country on earth whero all evangelical denominations stand onnn oven footing, and all would havo equal hearing in 6ucb an international exposition. Why do I select this cluster of seacoast cities? Answer By that time Dec, 23, 1000 theso four citfcs of New York, Brook lyn, Jersey City and Hoboken, by bridges and tunnols, will bo practically ono and with an aggregate population of about 0,000,000, Consequently no other part of America will havo such immensity of population. Why do I now mako this nomination of time and place? AnswerBecauso such a stupendous movement cannot be extemporized. It will tako seven years to get ready for such an ovcrtowering celebration, and the work ought to begin speedily in churches, in colleges, in leg islatures, in congresses, in parliaments, In all styles of national assemblages, and wo havo no timo to lose. It would tako threo years to mako o prograramo wor thy of such a comfng together. Why do I tako it upon myself to mako such a nomination of time and place? Answer Because it eo happens that jn the mysterious providence of God, born in a fannhonso and of no royal pr prince ly descent, tho doors of communication are open to me every week by the sec ular and religious printing presses and have been open to mo every week for many year, with all the citiea and towns and neighborhood of Christen dom, and Indeed in iano uumuo i Christendom, where printing presses have been establUhed, and I feel that if there is anything worthy in thi proposi tion it will be heeded and adopted. On thcrtther hand, if it be too sanguino, or too hopofal. or too impractical, I am euro i win do no harm that 1 have expressed it will do no harm that mv wish for sucii an inwnuinuu.1 jubi lee, celebraUva of tho birth of our Im- mMy friends, each a birthday celebra tion at the Uow of ono century and reaching into a new century would bo something in winch heaven and earth could join. It would not only bo inter national, but interplanetary, lnterstel hu,interconstftllation. If you remem ber what occurred on tho first ChrUtma night, yon know that It w not a Joy confined to our world. The choir abo Bethlehem wu jmportxl fromanotnw world; nnd when the star left its usual sphere to designate the birthplace all astronomy folt tho thrill. If thoro bo anything true about our religion, it Is that other world aro sympathetic with this world and in communication with it. Tho glorified of heaven would join In such n celebration. The generations that todlod to havo tho world for Christ would tako part in such jubilation and prolonged assomblago. Tho uppor galleries of God's universe would applaud tho scene, whether we Hard u.o clap or their wings and the f'iont of their voices or uid not hear them. Prophets t ho predicted tho Mes li.ih. and apostles who talked with him, and martyrs who died for him would tako part in tho Bcono, though tq our poor eyesight they might bo invisible. Tho old mise'ouanes who died in the malarial evci.. of Africa, or were struck down ly Egyptian typhus, or wero butchered at Lucknow, or were slain by BOrnesian cannibals would como down from their thrones to rejoico that at last Christ bad been heard of. and so speedily in all nations. At tho first, roll of the first overture of tho first day of that meeting all heaven would cry: "Hoar! Hoarl" Ayot Aye! I think myself such a vast procedure as that might hasten our Lord's coming, nnd that the expectation of many millions of Christians who be lieve in the second advent might bo realized thon at that conjunction of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. I do not Bay it would be, yet who knows but that our blessed and adored Master, pleased with such a plan of worldwido observance, might say concerning this wandering and rebellious planet, "That world at last shows a disposition to ap preciate what I havo dono for it, nnd with onowavo of my scarred hand I will bless nnd reclaim and save it," That such a celebration of our Lord' birth, kept up for days nnd months, would pleaso all tho good of earth and mightily epoed on the gospel chariot and pleaso nil the hoavons, saintly, cherubic, seraphic, nrchangello and di vine, is beyond question. Oh, get roady for tho world's greatest festivity! Tuno your voices for tho world's greatest an them. Lift tho arches for tho world's mightiest procession. Let the advancing standard of tho army of years, which has luacribed on ono side of it "1000" and on tho other sido I'IPOJ," linvo also inscribed on it tho most charming name of nil tho uuiverso tho namo of Jesus. Whother this suggestion of n world's celebration of tho nativity bo taken or not, it has allowed mo an opportunity in a somewhat unusual way of expressing my lovo for tho gTeat central character of all time and all eternity. Ho, is tho infinite nonesuch. Tio armies of heaven drop pn their knees before him. After Bourdalouo, before overwhelmed au diences, has preached him, and Milton in immortal blank Verso has Bung him, nnd Michael Angelo has glorified tho ceil ing of tho Vatican with his second com ing, and martyrs whilo girdled and canopied with tho flames of tho stako havo with burning lips Kissed Ms mem ory, and In tho "hundred and forty and four thousand" of heaven with feet on eeas of glnss intcrahot with sunriso, havo with uplifted and downswung baton, and sounding cornets, and waving ban ners, and heaven capturing doxologics celebrated him, tho story of his loveli ness, nnd his might, and his beauty, and Ida grandeur, and his graco, and his in tercession, and his sacrifice, and of his birth, and his death will remain untold. Bo his namo on our lips whilo wo livo, and when wo dlo after wo havo nppkon farewell to father and mother and wif, and child let us speak that name which is the lullaby of earth and tho transport oflieaven. Before tho crossing of timo on tho midnight between Dec, 81, 1000, and tho 1st of January, 1001, mnny of us will bo gone. Somo of you will hear tho clock strlko 13 of ono century and an hour after it hear it Btriko 1 of another cen tury, "but many of you vill not that midnight hear either tho stroko of tho old city clock or of tho old tlmopioco In tho hallway of tho homestead. Sevon years cut a wldo swath through tho churches and communities nnd nations. But thoso who cross from world to world before Old Timo in this world crosses that midnight from century to century will talk among tho thrones of tho coming earthly jubileo, and on tho river bank and in tho houso of many mansions, uutil all heaven will Ttnow of tho coming of that celobration, that will fill the earthly nations with joy and help augment the nations of heaven. But whother hero or thero wo will tako part in the musio and tho banquotiug if wo havo mado tho Lord our ortlon. Oh, how I would liko to stand ut my front door some morning or noon or night and seo tho sky part and the blessed Lord descend in person, not ns bo will como in tho last judgment, with firo and hail and earthquake, but in aweot ten derness to pardon all sin, and heal all wounds, and wipo away all tears, and feed all hunger, and right all wrongs, and illuinino all darkness, nnd break all bondage, and harmonizo all discord. Some think he will thus come, but about that coming I make no prophecy, for I nm not enoughlearncd in thoBcriptnrea, as Bozno of my friends are, to announce a very posltlvo opinion. But thi I do know, that It would be well for u to have an international and aniuterworld celebration of the anni versary of his birthday about the timo of the birth of the new century, and that it will le wie beyond all others' wisdom rn. n in I ii lr liiui rm our Tireunt and everl4ting coadjutor, and if that dar ling of earth and heaven will only accept you and me after all our lifetime of nn umriiiinra and tiu we can never pay him what we owo, though through all the eternity to come wo lutd every hour a new song and every moment a new ascription of homage and praise, for yon tee we were far out among tho iot eheep that the gcepel hymn eo pathetically de tent: Oat in the drt U Wrd 1 IU cry, hick aJ UlpU " redr to die, but U ltirouU Ihe taoaaUlut, thunder Ani op from h wkr ' . , '.AWWWVWVVVIfAWWoWS IBALD HEADS!!
