RV. DR. TALMAGE PREACHES ON THE
BREAD QUESTION.
Soma of the Causes Which Lead to the
Ever Present Dtstreis Amon; tile Work
ing Classes Alcohol and Improvidence
Are Potent Factors.
Brooklyn, Jnn. 7. It seemed appro
Hnto that Dr. Talmiigo should preach
tills sermon after his personal contribu
tion of 8,000 pounds of inent and 2,000
.loaves of bread to tho poor who gather
id flhivoring in tbocold around the bak
ery and meat storo of Brooklyn, where
tho food was distributed without tick
ets, and no recommendation required
except hunger. The text was, Matthew
xxvi. 1 1, "' Yo have tho poor always
with you."
Who said that? Tho Christ who
never owned anything during his earth
ly stay. His erartlo and his grave wero
borrowed. Every fig ho ato was from
some one else's treo. Every drop of
water ho drank was from some one else's
well. To pay his personal tax, which
was very small, only 81 4 cents, ho had
to perform a miracle and mako a Gsh
pay it. All the heights and depths and
lengths and breadths of poverty Christ
measured in his earthly experience, and
when bo comeB to speak of destitution
ho always speaks sympathetically, and
what he said then is as true now "Ye
have the poor always with you."
For 0,000 years tho bread question
has been tho active and absorbing ques
tion. Witness tho people crowding up
to Joseph's storehouse in Egypt. Wit
ness the famine in Samaria and Jeru
salem. Witness tho 7,000 hungry people
for whom Christ multiplied tho loaves.
Witness (ho uncounted millions of peo
ple now living, who, 1 believe, have
never yet had one full meal of health
ful and nutritious food in all their
lives. Think of tho 8C4 great famines
in England. Think of tho 25,000,000
peoplo under tho hoof of hunger year
before last in Russia. Tho failure of
the Nile to overflow for seven yoars in
tho eleventh century left those- regions
depopulated. Plagno of insects in Eng
land. Plague of rats in Madras Presi
dency. Plague of mico in Essox. Plague
of locusts in China. Plague of grass
hoppers in America. Devastation
wrought by drought, by deluge, by
frost, by war, by .hurricane, by earth
quake, by comets flying too near the
earth, by change in the management of
national finances, by baleful causes in
numerable. I proceed to give you three
' or four reasons why my text is marked
ly and graphically true in this year
1894.
THE TARIFF BUGBEAR.
The first teason we have always the
poor with us is because of the perpet
ual overhauling of the tariff question,
or. as 1 shall call it, the tarifBc contro
versy. Thero is n need for such n word,
and bo 1 take the responsibility of man
ufacturing it. There are millions of
peoplo who aro expecting that the pres
ent congress of tho United States will
do something one way or the other to
end this discussion. But it will never
end. When I was 5 years of age, I re
member bearing my father and his
neighbors in vehement discussion of
this' very question. It was high tariff
or low tariff or no tariff at all. When
your great-grandchild dies at 00 years
" of age, it will probably bo from over
exertion in discussing tho tariff. On
tho day tho world is destroyed, there
will be three men standing on the post
office steps one a high tariff man,
another a low tariff man, and tho other
a free trade man each ono red In the
face from excited argument on this sub
ject. Other questions may get quieted,
the Mormon question, the silver ques
tion, tho pension question, tho civil serv
ice question. All questions of annex
ation may como to peaceful settlement
by the annexation of islands two weeks'
voyage away nnd tho heat of their vol
canoes conveyed through pipes under
the sea mado useful in warming our
continent, or annexation of the moon,
dethroning tho queen of night, who is
said to bo dissolute, and bringing the
lunar populations under the influence
of our free institutiens: yea, all other
questions, national and international,
muy bo settled, but this tarifflo ques
tion never. It' will not only never be
settled, but it can never be moderately
quiet for nioro than three years at a
lime, each party getting into power
taking ono of the four years to fix it
np. and then the next party will fix it
down. Our finances cannot get well be
cause of too many doctors. It is with
sick nations as with sick- individuals.
Here is a man terribly disordered as to
his body. A doctor is called in, and he
administers a febrifuge, a spoonful ev
ery hour. But recovery is postponed,
and the anxious trlends call in another
doctor, and ho says: " What this pa
tient needs is blood letting; now roll
np your sleeve!" and tho lancet flashes.
But still recovery is postponed, and a
homeopathic doctor is called in, and he
administers some small pellets and
Bays, "All tho patient wants is rest."
Recovery still postponed, tho family
eay that such small pellets cannot
amount to much anyhow, and an allo
pathic doctor is called in, and he says,
"What this patient wants is calomel
and JHlap. " Recovery still postponed,
a hydropathic doctor is called in, and
be says: "What this patinet wants is
hot and cold baths, and be must have
them right away. Turn on tho fancet
and get ready the shower baths." Re
covery still postponed, an eclectic doc
tor is called in, and ha brings all the
schools to bear upon the poor sufferer,
and the patient, after a brave straggle
for life, expires. What killed him?
Too many doctors. And that Is what is
killing our national finances. My per
sonal friends, Cleveland and Harrison
and Carlisle and McKinley and Sher
man, aa talented and lovely and splen
did men m walk the earth, all good
doctors, but tbeir treatment of our Ion
guiahlag foasoaa U ao dlffwent that
Jrqftjwr twatwaat kftik fall wwerta
mmmummmmmamnmBasBaeameaam
nity, nnd under the constant changes it
is simply wonderful that tho nation still
lives. The tariff question will never bo
settled because of the fact which 1
have never beard any ono recognize
but nevertheless tho fact that high
tariff is beet for somo peoplo and ircb
trade is best for others. This tarif&c
controversy keeps business struck
through with uncertainty, nnd that m
ccrtaiuty results in poverty and wretch
edness for a vast multitudo of peoplo.
If tho eternal gab on this subject could
have been fashioned into loaves of
bread, thero would not bo n hungry
man or woman or child on all tho plan
et. To tho end of time, tho words of
tho text will bo kept true by the tarifflo
controversy ,r Yo havo tho poor always
with you."
ALCOHOL A3 A SOURCE OP DISTRESS.
Another caueo of perpetual poverty is
tho causo alcoholic. Tho victim does
not last long. He soon crouches into
tho drunkard's grave. But what about
his wife and children? She takes in
washing, when sho can get it, or goes
out working on smalt wages, because
sorrow and privation havo left her in
capacitated to do a strong woman's
work. Tho children aro thin blooded
and gaunt and pale nnd weak, Btanding
around in cold rooms, or pitching pen
nies on 'the street corner, and munching
a shco of unbuttored bread when they
can get it, Bworn at by passersby be
cause they do not get out of tho way,
kicked onward toward manhood or
womanhood, for which they havo no
preparation, except a depraved appetite
and frail constitution, candidates for
almhouse and penitentiary. Whatever
other causo of poverty may fail, tho sa
loon may bo depended on to furnish an
ever increasing throng of paupers. Oh.
ye grogshops of Brooklyn and New
York and of all the cities; yo mouths
of hell, when will yo ceaso to qraunch
and devour? There is no danger of
this liquor business failing. All other
styles of business at times fail. L)ry
goods stores go under. Hardware stores
go under. Grocery stores go under.
Harness makers fail, druggists fail,
bankers fail, butchers fail, bakers fail,
confectioners fail, but the liquor deal
ers never. It is tho only secure business
1 know of. Why the permanence of
the alcoholic trude? Because, in tho
first place, the men in that business, if
tight up for money, only havo to put
into largo quantities of water more
strychnine and logwood and mix vomica
and vitriol and other congenial concom
mitunfa for adulteration. Ono quart of
tho real gonuine pandeinoniac elixir
will do to mix up with several gallons
of milder damnation. Besides that,
these dealers can depend on an increase
of demand on tho part of their custom
ers. Tho more of that stuff they drink,
tho thirstier they are. Hard times,
which stop other business, only increase
that business, for men go there to
drown their troubles. They take the
spirits down to keep their spirits up.
There is an inclined plane down which
alcoholism slides its victims claret,
champagne, port, cognac, whisky, torn
and jerry, sour mash, on nnd down un
til it is a sort of mixturo of kerosene
oil, turpentine, toadstools, swill, es
sence of tho horse blankets and general
nastiness. With its red sword of flame,
that liquor power marshals its proces
sion, and they move on in ranks long
enough togirdlo the earth, and tho pro
cession is headed by tho noso blotched,
nervo shattered, rheum eyed, lip bloat
ed, soul scorched inebriates, followed
by the women, who, though brought up
in comfortable homes, now go limping
past with aches and pains nnd pallor
and hungef and woe, followed by their
children, barefoot, uncombed, freezing,
and with a wretchedness of time and
eternity seemingly compressed in their
agonized features. "Forward, march!"
cries tho liquor business to that nrmy
without banners. Keep that influence
moving on, and you will have tho poor
always with you. Report comes from
one of the cities, whero tho majority of
the inhabitants are out of work and de
pendent on charity, yet last year they
spent more in that city for rum than
they did for clothing and groceries.
THE IMPROVIDENCE OK WORKMEN.
Another warranty that my text will
provo truo in tho perpetual poverty of
the world is tho wicked spirit of im
providence. A vast number of people
havo such small incomes that they can
not lay by in savings bank or lifo in
surance one cent a year. It takes every
farthing they can enrn to spread the
tablo and clothe tho family and educate
tho children, and it you blamo eucb
people for improvidenco you enact a
cruelty. On snch a salary as many
clerks and employees and many minis
ters of religion live, and on such wages
as many workmen receive, they cannot,
in 20 years, lay up 20 cents. But yon
know and I know many who havo com
petent incomes, and could provide some
what for the future, who live up to every
dollar, and when they dio their chil
dren go to the poorhouso or on the
street. By tho time tho wifo gets the
husband buried, she is in debt to the
undertaker and grnvedigger for that
which she can never pay. While the
man lived he had his wiuo parties and
fairly stunk with tobacco, and then ex
pired, leaving bis family upon tho char
ities of tho world. Do not send for me
to come and conduct the obsequies and
read over such a carcass thobeautifnl
Htugy, "Blessed aro the dead who dio
In the Lord," for, instead' of that, 1
will turn over tho leaves of tbo Bible
to 1 Timothy v, 18, whero it says: "If
any provide not for bis own, and" espe
cially for those of hia own house, be
hath dented tbo faith, and is worse
than an infidel,' or I will turn to Jere
miah xxii, 10, where it says, "He shall
be buried with the burial of an at,
drawn and cast forth beyond the gatea
of Jerusalem."
I cannot iraagino any more unfair or
meanei thing than for a man to get bis
sins pardoned at the last minute, and
then go to heaven, and live in a man"
ion, and go riding about in a golden
chariot over the golden streets, while
kte wife and children, whom be might
bar pferlei lor. are b&nAru tar tnl
ktXXK& OASHRfiX JQTJBIf Alt MOSTD
victuals at tho ba&oment door of an
earthly city. It seems to mo there
ougnt to be n poorhouso somewhere on
tbo outskirts of heaven, whero those
guilty of euch improvidenco should be
kept for awhile on thin soup and gristle
instead of sitting down at tho King's
banquet It is said that the church is
a divine institution, and I believe It.
Just as certainly aro tho savings banks
and tbo lifo insuranco companies divino
institutions. As out of ovil good often
comes so out of tho doctrine of proba
bilities, calculated by Professor HugunB
and Professor Pascal for games of
chance, came tho calculation of the
probabilities of human life as used by
lifo insuranco companies, and no busi
ness on earth is more stnblo or honor
able, and no mightier mercy for tbe
human raco has been born since Christ
was born. Bored beyond endurance for
my signature to papers of all sorts,
there is ono style of paper that I always
sign with a feeling of gludncss and
triumph, nnd that is a paper which tho
lifo insurance company requires from
tbo clergyman after a decease In his
congregation, in order to tho payment
of the policy to tho bereft household. I
always write my name then so thoycan
read it. I cannot help but say to my
self: "Good for that man to havo look
ed aftor bis wife and children nftor
earthly departure. May ho havo ono of
the host seats in heaven!" Young
man! The day before or the day after
you get manTed, go to a life insurance
company of established reputation and
get the- medical examinor to put the
stethoscopo to your lungs and hia ear
closo up to your heart with your vest
off, and havo signed, sealed and deliv
ered to you a document that will, in tbe
caso of your sudden departure, make
for that lovely girl tho difference be
tween n queen and a pauper.
I havo known men who havo had an
Income of $8,000, $4,000, $5,000, a
year, who did not leave ono farthing to
tho surviving household. Now, that
man's death is a defalcation, an out
rage, a swindle. Ho did not dio; he
absconded. Thero aro 100,000 people in
America today a-hungered through the
sin of improvidence. "But," say some,
"my income is sosmall 1 cannot nftord
to pay the premium on a life insur
ance." Are you euro about that? If
you aro sure, then you havo n right to
depend on tho promise in Jeremiah
xlix, 11, "Leavo thy fatherless chil
dren, I will preservo them alive, and
let thy widows trust in me." But if
you aro able to, remember you have no
right to ask God to do for your house
hold that which you can do for thorn
yourself.
For the benefit of those young' men
excuse a practical personality. Begin-i
ning my life's work on tho munificent
salary of $800 a year and a parsonage,
and when the call was placed in my
hands I did not know bow in tho world
I would over bo nblo to epend that
amount of money, nnd I remember in
dulging in a devout wish that I might'
not bo led into worldliness and prodi
gality by buch an overplus of resources,
and at a time when articles of food and
clothing wero higher than they aro
now, I felt it a religions duty to get my
lifo insured, and I presented myself at
an office of ono of tho great companies,
and I stood palo and nervous lest fbo
medical examinor might havo to de
clare that I had consumption and heart
diseaso and a half dozen mortal ail
ments, but when I got tho document,
which I have yet in full force, I felt a
senso of manliness and confidence and
quietudo nnd re-enforcement, which isn
good thing for any young man to have.
For tho lack of that feeling thero are
thousands of men today in Greenwood
and Laurel Hill and Mount Auburn
who might as well have been alive and
well and supporting their families.
They got a little sick, and they were
so worried about what would become
of their households in cobo of their de
mise that their agitations overcame the
skill of the physicians, and they died
for fear of dying. I have for many
years been such an nrdent advocate of
lifo insurance, and my sermon on "The
Crime of Not Insuring" has been eo
long used ou both sides of tho sea by
tho chief lifo insuranco companies that
somo people havo supposed that I re
ceived monetary compensation for what
I havo oaid and written. Not a penny.
I will give any man $1Q0 for every pen
ny I bavo received from any life insur
anco company. What I have said and
written on the subjoct has resulted
from tho conviction that theso institu
tions aro a benediction to the human
raco. But, alas, for tho widespread im
providence! You nro now in your char
ities helping to support tho families of
men who bad moro income- than you
now have, or over ha70 bad, or ever
will have, nnd you can depend on the
improvidenco of many for the truth of
my text in nil times and in all places,
"Yo bavo the poor always with you."
LACK OF MENTAL BALANCE.
Another fact that you may depend
upon for perpetual poverty ia the In
capacity of many to achieve a liveli
hood. You can go through any com
munity and find good peoplo with more
than usual mental caliber, who nover
have been able to support themselves
nnd their households. They aro a mys
tery to us, and we eay, "I do not know
what is tbe'matter of them, but there is
a screw loose somo where." Somo of
these persons bqve moro brain than
thonsandawho make a splendid suc
cess. Somo are too Bangui no of tem
perament, and they see bargains -where
thero aro none, A common minnow la
to them a gold fish, and a qnail a fla
mingo, and a blind mule on a towpath
a Bucephalus. They buy when things
are highest and sell when thing are
lowest. Souwoae tells them of city lota
out west, -where the foundation cf the
first bouse baa not yet been laid. They
nay, " What an opportunity!'' and they
put down tho hard cask for aa orna-
t mented deed for 10 Iota under water.
They hear of a sew-ajver xaiaeopesed
in Nevada, and they jy, "Wsat a
chance!" and tbey take Mm little
money they kava is tke savings bank
iw4 iwy tt tc m kiawWfcil a grUl
Bill i ii 9 lllta'Nl ,
cato of mining stock-as was over print
ed, and tho only Ihing they will ever
get out of tho investment is tho aforesaid
illuminated lithograph. They are al
ways on the vergo of raillionairedom
and nro sometimes worried ns to whom
they shall bequeath their excees of for
tune. They invest in aerial machines
or now inventions in perpetual motion,
and they succeed in what mathemati
cians think Impossible, tho squaring of
a circle, for they do everything on tho
squaro and win tho wholo circle of dis
appointment. They aro good honest,
brilliant failures. They dio poor, and
leavo nothing to their families but a
model of some invention that would not
work and wholo portfolios of diagrams
of things impossible. I cannot help
but liko them, becauso they aro bo
cheerful with great expectations. But
their children nro a bequest to tho bu
reau of city charities. Others admin
ister to tho crop of tho world'B misfor
tuno by being too unsuspecting". Honest
themselves, thoy bolieve all others are
honest. They are fleeced and scalped
nnd viyisocted by tho sharpers in nil
styles of business and cheated out of
everything between cradle and grave,
and thoso two exceptions only becauso
tbey have nothing to do in buying
either of them. Others nro retained for
misfortune by inopportune sickness.
Just as that lawyer was to mako tho
plea that would havo put him among
tho strong mon of tho profession, nou
ralgia 'siting him. Just as that physi
cian wad to provo his skill in an epi
demic, his own poor health imprisoned
him. Just as that merchant must be
at tho storo for somo decisivo and intro
ductory bargain, ho site with a rheu
matic joint on a pillow, tho room redol
ent with liniment. What an over
whelming statistic would bo tho story
of men and women und children im
poverished by sicknesses ! Then tho cy
clones. Then the Mississippi and Ohio
freshets. Then the stopping of the
factories. Then tho curculios among
tho peach trees. Then tho insectilo
devastation of potato patches nnd wheat
fields. Then tho epizootics among tho
horses and tho hollow horn among the
herds. Then tho rains that drown out
everything und tho droughts that burn
up half a continent. Then tho orange
groves dio under the white teeth of
the hoar frost. Then the coal strikes,
and tho iron strikes, and tho me
chanics' strikes, which all strike
labor harder than they strike capital.
Then tho yellow fever nt Brunswick and
Jacksonville and Shreveport. Then
tho cholera at tho Narrows, threatening
to land in Now York. Then tne Charles
ton earthquake. Then tho Johnstown
flood. Then hurricanes sweeping from
Caribbean tea to Newfoundland. Then
thero aro tho jjreat monopolies that gul
ley tho earth with their oppressions.
Then there nro tho necessities of buying
coal by the scuttlo instead of tho ton,
and Sour by tho pound instead of tho
barrel, and so the injustices aro mult -plied.
In tho wake ot all theso are over
whelming illustrations of the truth of
my text, "Yo havo tho poor always
with you."
CELEBTIAL INSURANCE.
Remember a fact that no ono empha
sizes a fact, nevertheless, upon which
I want to put tho weight of an eternity
of tonnage that tho best way of insur
ing yourself and your children and your
grandchildren against poverty and all
other troubles is by helping others. I
am un agent of tho oldest insurance
company that was over established. It
is near 8,000 years old. It has tho ad
vantage of all tho other plans of insur
ance wholo lifo policy, endowment,
joint lifo and survivorship policies,
ascending and descending scales of pre
mium and tontine and it pays up while
you live nnd It pays up aftor you aro
dead. Every cent you give in n Chris
tian spirit to a poor man or woman, ov
ory shoe you givo to a barefoot, every
stick of wood or lump of coal you givo
to a tireless hearth, every drop of med
icine you givo to a poor invalid, every
star of hope you make to Bhino over
unfortnnnto maternity, every mitten
you knit for cold fingers, is n payment
on tho premium of that policy. I hand
about 000,000,000 policies to all who
will go forth and aid tho unfortunate
Thero aro only two or threo lines in
this policy of life insurance PsJli, 1,
"Blessed is hothatconsidereth tho poor;
tho Lord will deliver him in timo of
trouble."
Oth,er life insurance companies may
fail, but (his celestial lifo insuranco
company never. Tho Lord God Almighty-
is at tho head of it, and all tho
angels of heaven aro in its board of dl-'
rection, and its assets nro all worlds,
and all tho charitable of earth and
heaven nro tho beneficiaries. "But,"
says some one. "I do not liko a tontine
policy so well, and that which you
offor Ms moro liko a tontino and to bo
chfey paid in this lifo." "Blesaed is
he that considereth tho poor; tbo Lord
will deliver him in time of trouble."
Well, if you prefer tho old fashioned
policy of lifo insurance, which is not
paid till after death, you can bo ac
commodated. That will bo given you
in tho day of judgment nnd will be
handed you by tbe right hand, tho pierced
band of our Lord himself, and all
you do in tho right spirit for the poor
is payment on the premium of that lifo
Insurance policy, I read you a para
graph of that pelicy: "Then shall tho
King say unto them on bis right hand,
'Come, ye blessed of my Father, for I
was hungered, and yo gavo rao meat; I
was thirsty, and yo gave mo diink; I
waa a stranger, and yo took mo in;
aaked and ye clothed mo.' "
In various colors of ink other lifo "In
surance policies aro written, Thia one
I bavo just shown you is written in only
one kind of ink, and that red ink, the
blood of the cross. Blessed bo God, that
ia a paid up policy, paid for by tbe
pangs of tbo Son of God, and ull we
add to it in tbe way of our own good
dee4a will augment tbo sum of eternal
felicities. Yes, tbo time will coino
when tbo banks of largest capital stock
will all go down, and thofiro insurance
