Several ocean f,(eanirs arrive in port Sunday mornings, and many of tho pas sengers, browned by tho Ken, eonio di rect Iy from (ho wharf to tho Iirooklyn taboi uncle. Tho great congregation, led ly Professor Ali'a cornet, and accom panied by (he organ, at which Professor Jirowno presides, joinel in tho opening hymn: 0 Wo nro thy jioople, wo thy care. Our souls ami all our mortal frame. What luMtinj,' honors Bliall wo rr-ar, Alua-hty Maker, to thy uume? Dr. Tnlniagc'u text was I Chron. xx, 0, T: "A man of great stature, whoso lingers and toes were four and twenty, fcix on eacli hand and six on each foot, and ho also was (he son of thn r-innt! Hut when ho delied Israel, Jonathan, tho son of Shimon, David's brother, blew him." Malformation photographed, and for what reason? Did not (his passage Klip in by mistake into tho sacred Scriptures, as sometimes a paragraph utterly obnox ious to (ho editor gets into his newspaper during his absence? Is not this script ural errata? No, no; there is nothing haphazard about the Pible. This pasmge of Sci ipturo was as certainly intended to uo put in the iiiblo as the passago "In tho beginning God created the heavens and (lie earth." (hat ho or gave God so loved tho his only begotten world Son." And I select it for my text today lxs causo it is charged with practical and tremendous meaning. Dy (he people of God (he Philistines had leen conquered, with the exception of a few giants. The race of giants is mostly extinct, I am glad to say. There is no use for gian(s now except to enlarge tho income of mu neums. But (hero were many of (hem in olden (imes Goliath was, "according to tho Bible, eleven feet, four and a half inches high. Or, if you do not believe tho Bible, tho fatuous Pliny, a secular writer, deckires that at Crete, by an earthquake a monument was broken open, discovering tho remains of a giant forty-six cubits long, or 6ixty-nine feet high. So. whether you prefer sacred or profane history, you must come to tho conclusion that there were in those olden (imes cases of human altitude mon strous and appalling. David had smashed tho 6kull of one of theso giants, but there were other giants (hat tho Davidean wars had not yet subdued, and one of them stands in my (ext. lie was not only of Alpino stature, but had a surplus of digits. To the ordinary fingers was an nexed an additional finger and the foot had also a superfluous addendum. He had twenty-four terminations to hands and feet where others have twenty. It was not the only ins(ance of (he kind. I Jiavermer, the learned writer, says that the emperor of Java had a son endowed with (ho same number of extremities. Yolcatius, the poet, had six lingers on each hand. Maupetius in his celebrated letters seaks of two families near Berlin similarly equipped of hand and foot. All of which I can believe, for I havo soen two eases of the samo physical superabundance. But this giant of the (ext is in battle, and as David, (ho dwarf warrior, had dispatched one giant, the brother of David tlavs this monster of my text, and (hero lie lies after tho battle in Gath, a dead giant. His stature did not save him, and his superfluous appendiee3 of hand anil foot did not save him. The probability was that in tho battle his sixth finger on his hand mado him clumsy in the use of his weapon, and his sixth toe crippled his gait. Behold the prostrate and nial formated giant of tho text: "A man great of stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six oa each foot : and ho also was the son of the giant. But when he de fied Israel, Jonathan, tho son of Shiniea David's brother, slew him." Behold how superfluities are a hindr ance rather than a help! In all tho bat tle at Gath that day there was not a man jwith ordinary hand and ordinary foot and ordinary stature that was not "better off than thi3 physical curiosity of my text. As physical size is apt to run in families (he probability is that this brother of David who did the work was of an abbreviated stature. A dwarf on the right side is stronger than a giant on the wrong side, and all tho body and mind and estate and opportunity that you cannot use for God and tho betterment of tho world is a sixth linger and a sixth toe, and a terrific hinderance. The most of the good done in the world, and tho most of those who win the battles for tho right, are ordinary people. Count the fin gers of their right hand and thev have iust nve, no moro ana no less. Ono Dr. DmT among missionaries, but three thou sand missionaries that would tell vou they have only common endowment uno j.-iorenco rsigutingale to nurso tho sicli in conspicuous places, but ten thou sand women who are just as good nurses, tnougn never heard of. Tho Swamp aiiigei waa a uig gun mat during tho war mado a big noise, but muskets of ordi nary caliber and shells of ordinary heft did the execution. President "Tvler and liis cabinet go down the Potomac "one day to experiment with the Peacemaker, a great iron gun that was to affright with it3 thunder foreign navies. Tho gunner touches it off and it explodes and leaves cabinet ministers dead on the. deck, whilo at that time all up and down our coasts were cannon of ordinary bore able to be tho defense of the nation, and ready at (be first touch to waken to duty. Tho curee of the world is big guns. After the politicians who have made all tho noise go home hoarse from angry discussion on the evening of tho first Monday in November, (he next day tho people with tho silent ballots will settle everything, and settle it right, a million of the white slips of paper they drop making about a3 much noise as the fall of nn apple blossom. Clear back in the country today there are mothers in plain apron, and shoes fashioned on a rough last bj tho shoe maker at tho end of the lane, rocking babies that nro to bo tho Martin Luther., and tho Faradays, nnd tho Kdisons, and the Bismarcks. and (Ik Gladstones, and (ho Washington.?, nnd tho George White fields of (ho year 1038, and who will make (ho Twentieth century bo bright that this much lauded Nineteenth in comparison will seem a part of the dark ages. The longer I livo tho more I like common folks. They do the world's work, lcaring tho world's burdens, weep ing the world's sympathies, carrying the world's consolation. Among law vers ; we see rise up a Rufus Choate, or a I William Wirt, or a Samuel L. Southand, : but. i-ociely would go to pieces to-morrow ! if (hero were not (housands of common lawyers to see that men and wmncii get their rights. A Valentine Mott or' a Willard Parker rises up eminent in the medical profession, but what nn unlimited sweep would pnuemonia, and diphtheria, and scarlet lever, havo in the world if it were not for ten thousand common doctors. Tho old physician in his gig rolling up the lane of tho farmhouse, or riding on horseback, his medicines in (ho saddle bags, arriving on (ho nintU day of the fever, and coming in to take hold of the pulso of tho patient, whilo tho family, pale with anxiety, are looking on and waiting for his decision in regard to tho patient, and hearing him say: "Thank God, I havo mastered tho case, he is getting well," excites in mo nn admira tion (juile equal to the mention of (ho nam'. or (ho great metropolitan doctors, Par-coast or Gross or Joseph C. Hutchin son of (ho past, or (he illustrious living men of (he present. Yet whatdo wo see in all departments? People not satisfied with ordinary spheres of wort nnd ordinary duties. Instead of trying (o see what they can do with a hand of livo lingers they want six. In stead of usual endowment of twenty twenty manual and pedal addenda they want twenty-four. A certain amount of money for livelihood and for the supply of those whom wo leave behind us alter wo have departed this life is important, for we have the best authority for say ing: "lie that providelh not for his ow n, and especially those of his own house hold, is worse than an infidel;" but tho large and fabulous sums for which manv struggle, if obtained would be a hinder ance rather than an advantage. The anx ieties and annoyances that those have whoso estates have become plethoric can only Ijo told by those who possess them. It will bo a good thing when through your industry and public pros perities you can own tho hotiso in which you live. But suppose you own fifty houses and you leave all those rents to collect and all those tenants to please. Suppose you have branched out in busi ness successes until in almost every di rection you have investments. The fire bell rings at night; you rush up stairs to look out of tho window to see if it is any of j our mills. Epidemic of crime comes and there are embezzlements and ab- seondings in all directions, and you w on der whether any of your bookkeepers will prove recreant. A panic strikes the financial world, and you are like a hen. under a sky full of hawks and (ry- ing with anxious ciuck to get your overgrown chickens safelv under wine-. After a certain stacre of success has been reached you have to trust so main- im portant things to others that you are apt to become tho prey of others, and you are swindled and defrauded, and "the anxiety you had on your brow when vou nnd bought up half of heaven and let it out at ruinous rent, or loaned the monf y to celestial citizens at 2 er cent, a month and got a corner on liar,. and trumpets. They lived in this world fifty or sixty years in the presence of ap palling Buffering and want and made ro iffort for their relief. The charities of such people are for tho most part i;i "puido-post future" tense and thev are going to do them. The probability is that if such a one in his last will by a donation to benevolent societies tries" (o atone for his lifetime closelistedness, the heirs at law will try In break the will by proving that the oi l man was senile or ci.izy, arid the expense of the htig i'io.'i wiil about h-av( in the lawyers' hands what was meant for tho American Bible society. OJi, ye overweighted sucecs.-ful bu-iness men, whoiher this sermon re icli yoiir ear or your eye, lit me say that if J'ou aro prostrated with anxie ties about keeping or investing the.-.o tremendous fortunes, I can tell you how you can do more to tret vour lieu! tli back and your spirits raised ihan gallons ot inui tasting water wore earning your first thousand dollars b not equal to tho anxiety on your brow now that you have won jour three hun dred thousand. Tiie trouble with such a ono is he is spread out like tho unfortu nate one in my text. You havo more fingers and toes than you know what to do with. Twenty" were useful, twenty-four is a hindering super fluity. Disraeli says that a king .f Poland abdicated bis tl and joined the peoplo and became a por-" ter to carry burdens. And some one asked liim why he did so and he replied: upon my nonor, gentlemen, (lie load which I quit is by far heavier than the one you seo me carry. Tho weightiest is but a straw when compared to that world under which I labored. I have slept more i:i four nights than I havo during an m j leigu. x uegm to live ana to uo a king myself. Elect whom you choose, for mo who am so well it would bo mad ness to return to court." . "Well," says somebody, "such over loaded persons ought to be pitied, for their woivinients are real and their in somnia and their nervous prostration a:e genuine." I reply that they coulJ get rid of the bothersome surplus by giv ing it awaj-. If a man has more houses than ho can carry without vexation, let him drop a few of them. If his estate is so great he cannot manage it without retting nervous dyspepsia from having too much, let him divide up with those who have nervous dyspepsia because by drinkin; - It I . . . .

Perhaps some of you will take this ad vice, but the most of you will not. And you will try (o cure your swollen hand j by gelling on it moro lingers, and your J rheumatic foot by getting on it more ; toes, and there will be a sigh of relief when you aro gone out of the world; , and when over your remains tho minis j ter recites tho words, Blessed aro the j dead who die in the Lord," jorsons who : have keen appreciation of tho ludicrous J will hardly be able to keep their faces straight. But whether in that direction I my words do good or not, I am anxious I that all who havo only ordinary equip ment bo thankful for" what they have and rightly employ it. I think you all have, figuratively as well as literally, fingers enough. Do not long for hindering superfluities. Stand ing in the presence of this fallen giant of my text and in this post-mortem exami nation of him, let us learn how much better off wo aro wnh just tho usual hand, tho usual foot. You have (hanked God for a thousand things, but I warrant j on never uiankea Jam for those two implements of work and locomotion, that no one but tho infinite and omnipotent God could have ever planned or made, the hand nnd the foot. Only that sol dier or that mechanic who, in a battle or through machinery, has lost them, knows anything about their value, and only the Christian scientist can havo any apprecia tion of what divine masterpieces thev are. Sir Charles Bell, the English surgeon, on the battle field of Waterloo, while en gaged in amputations of tho wounded was so impressed with tho wondrous con struction of tho human hand that when tho Earl of Bridge water gave $40,000 for essays on the wisdom and goodness of God, nnd eight books were written, Sir Charles Bell wrote his entire book on thc wisdom and rroodncssof (Jod .mrlisr.l iw, i enough, they canot guard their sixth finger care than thev did the Tl, l: : :n. , iw uu oilier wiin wuac roi with original gout tho md giant They moro five. thev call know not that, liko of mv text. thev are lamed by a superfluous toe. A few cf them by large charities bleed them selves of thi3 financial obesity and mone tary plethora, but manyfof (hem hang on to the hindering superfluity till deatl and then as they are compelled to give the money up anyhow, in their last will and testament they generoujJy give some of it to the Lord, expecting no doubt that ILj will feel very much obliged to tb.em. Thank God that once in a while we have a Peter Cooper who, owning an interest in the iron works at Trenton, said to Mr. Lester: "I do not feel quite easy idiout tho amouijt wo are makin". Working under one of our patents, we have a monopoly which seems to mo some-tiling wrong. Everybody lias to come to us fcr it and we aro making money too fast." So they reduced the price, and this whilo our philanthropist was building Cooper institute, which mothers a hundred institutes of kind- j ness and mercy all over the land. But 1 the world had to wait five thousand ,' eight hundred years for Peter Coope- I j am glad for the benevolent institutions ! that get a legacy from men who dm-ino- . their life were as 6tingy as death, but who in their last will and testament be- towed money on hospitals and mission ary societies; but for such testators I have no respect. They would havo taken every cent of it with them if they could m uie Human hand, ihe twentv-seven J ones in hand and wrist with cartilages ami ligaments and phalanges of the: linger.-, nil made jest ready to knir, to sew, to build up, to pull down, to weave, to write, to plow, tc pound, to wheel, to battle, tc tvo lrieinUy salutadon, Tho tips of its lingers are so many telegraph offices by reason of their sensitiveness of touch. The bridges, the tunnels, tho cities of the whole earth aro the victories of the hand. The bands are not dumb, but often sneak as distinctly as the lips. With our hands we invite, we repel, we invoke, we en treat, we wring them in grief or clap them ia joy, or spread them abroad in benediction. The malformation of the giant's band in the text glorifies the usual hand. Fashioned of God more exepuis itely and wondrously than any human mechanism that was ever contrived, I charge you use it for God and the lif ting'of tho world out of its moral predicament. jjmpioy it in tlie subiimo work of Gospel handshaking. You can seo tho hand is just mado for that. Four fingers just set right to touch your neighbor's hand on one side and your thumb set so as to clench it on the other side. Bv all its bones, and joints, and muscles, and carti lages, and ligaments, tho voice of natu-e joins with the voice cf God commanding you to shako hands. The custom is as old as the Bible, anyhow. Jehu said to Jehonadab: "Is thine heart right as my heart is with thine heart? If it be, give me thine hand' When hands join in Christian salutation a Gospel electricity thrills across tho palm from heart to heart, and from tho shoulder of one to the shoulder of tho other. Shako hands all around. With tho timid and for their encouragement, shake hands. With the troubled and in warm hearted sympathy, shako hands. With tho young man just entering business mid discouraged at the small sales end the large expenses, shako hands. With tiio child wlo is new from God and i started on unending journey for which i ornlst. The arch of tho foot fashioned with a graco and a poise that Trajan 'b rich at Benoventum, or Constantino's arch at Pome, or nrch of Triumph at tho end of Champ3 Elysees could not equal. Those arches stand where thev were planted, but this arch of tho foot is an adjustable' arch, a yielding nrch, a flying inch, and ready for movements iti iiumerable. Tho human foot so fash ioned as to enable man to stand upright ivi no other creature, and leave tho band that would otherwise have to help in balancing the Uxly free for anything it ( lex) es. The foot of tho camel fashioned for the sand, the foot of the bird fash ioned f.- t)K. t hr.mei (). fool of ,i)C hind fa-hioned for the slippery roe!;, the foot of the lion fashioned "to rend its prey, tho loot of the horse fashioned for the solid earth, but the ftt of man made to cross the b sert, or climb (he tree, or scale the cliff, or walk the onrth, or go anywhere he needs to go. With that divine triumph of anatomy in your possession, where do you walk? In what path of righteousness or what path of sin have you set it down? Where havo you left the mark of your footsteps? Amid (he petrifactions in the rocks havo been found the mark of the feet of birds and beasts of thousands of years ago. And Col can trace out all tho footsteps of your lifetime, and those you mado fifty years ago aro as plain as thoso mado in tho last soft weather, all of them pert rifled for tho judgment day. Oh, tho fool! I low divinely honored net only in jts construction but in ine tact that Ood represents himself iti the Bible as having feet: "Tho clouds :n Vac dust of his feet;" "Darkness was Jnder his feet;" "The earth is my foot stool." And representing cyclones and euroelydons and whirlwinds and hurri canes as winged creatures, ho descriles himself as putting his fot on theso mon sters of the air and walking from pinion to pinion, saying: "Uo walketh upon (ho wings of (he wind." "Thou hast put all things tinder his feet," cries tho psalmist. Oh, tho foot! Give me the auto biography of your foot from the time you s(epnod out of (he cradle until to day and I will tell your exact character now and what are your prospects for (he world to come. That there might bo no doubt about tho fact that both theso pieces of divine mechanism, hand and ioor. neiong to Christ's service, both hands of Christ and both feet of Christ were spiked on tho cross. Right through the arch of both his feet to the hollow of bis footstep went tho iron of torture, and from tho palm of his hand to the back of it, and there is not a muscle or nerve or bono among the twenty-seven bones of hand and wrist, or among the twenty -six bones of tho foot, but it be longs to him now and forever.
