I'.rooklvx. May 27 At the Taberna-
clo this morning tho Rev. T. Do Witt Tal
inago, I). I)., read tlio account of the
man helpless at tho iJoautiful Gat of the
Temple. He then gave out the hymn

Tho 8ubjf t of the eloouent doctor's
discourse was: "Disabled Hunters Uring-
lnz Down the Most Game." His text
wiu from Isaiah 'xxxiiu 23: "The lame
take tho prey." Following is the sir
nmn:
Tho uucv demolition of the Assyrian
hot was here predicted. Not only robust
men should go forth and gather the
spoilt of conquest, but even men cripplod

01 arm nnn crippled 01 toot should go
out and capture much that was valuable.
i heir physical disadvantages should not
hinder their great enrichment. So it has

ments. Mr n lalmr under seemingly great
disadvantages and amid the most un
favorable circumstances, yet making:
grand achievements, getting great bless

world, great blessing for tho church, and
o "the lamo take tho prey.
Do you know that the three great
rot-ts of the world were totally blind ?

enchanting book, "The Conquest of Mex

know that Alexander Pope, whose poems

keep them back, and pull them down,
and impede their way, and cripple their
physical or their intellectual movement:
and j-et that they punned on and pushed
up until they reached the spoils of
worldly success, and amid the huzza cf
rations and centuries, "the lamo took
the prey?"
You know that a vast multitude of
these .men started under the disadvantage
of obscure rarentage, Columbus, the son
of the weaver. Ferguson, the astrono
mer, the son of the shepherd. America,
the prey of the one; worlds on worlds
the prey of the other. But what is true
in secular directions is more true in
spiritual and religious directions, and I
proceed to prove it.
Tli ere arc in all communities many in
valids. They never know a well day.
They adhere to their occupations, but
they go panting along the 6treeta with
exhaustions, and at eventimo they lie
down on tho lounge with achings beyond
ell medicament. They have tried all pre
scriptions, they have gone through all
the cures which were proclaimed infalli
ble, and tlu-y have come now to surren
der to perpetual ailmcnti They consider
they are among many disadvantages;
end when they see those who are buoyant
in health pass by they clmost envy their
robust frames and easy respiration.
iiut i have noticed among that invalid
clas3 thorid who have tho greatest knowl
edge of the Bible, who are in nearest
intimacy with Jesus Christ, who liave
the most . rr'owinz -experiencoa of the
truth, who have had the most remarkable
answers to prayer, and who have most
cxhilarant anticipations of heaven. The
temptations which weary U3 who arc in
robust health they have conquered. They
liave divided among them tho spoils of
the cor.quet. Many who aro alert uJ
athletic and swarthy loiter in the way.
Thco ure the lame that take the prey.
Jloix it Hall an invalid. Edward Payson
invalid. Richard Daxter an invalid,
t.unufcl Kutherford an invalid. This
morning, when you want to call to mind
thec-t who fifo most Christiike, you think
X s darkened room in your father's
house from tvhich theia went forth an
influence poient for eternity.
A tep farther: Through raised letters
the art of printing has been brought to
the attention of the b!in-?.
You tike up tho DiL'.o tor the blind,
end you close your yc3, and you run
vuur fingers over the raised letters, and
'sun sav: "Why, I never could get any
l ifrtn-ition ia tliis wav. What a 6low,
Icmbrou w
y of reading! God help the
LliuL"
And yet I fnd arnong that clo53 of per-r.-a!Eon2
the blind, ths deaf and the
alumb the most thorough acquaintance
with God's r.-ord. Shut out from all
oilier sources cf information, no sooner
Joes their liand touch the raised letter
ttian they gather a prayer. Without eyes,
thev lock oiT upon the kingdom of God's
love. Without hearing they catch tlio

jiiey declare the glory of God.
A largo audience assembled In New
York .it the anniversary of the Deaf and
Dumb ovlum. and one cl the visitors
with chalk on the blackboard wrot lh.!3
Vlion to tlie pupjjs: "Do you not find
it very hard to be ileal r,Q ouciu.- Ana
tvrote on the blackboard thil eubliuia
cr;ierice in anser; w. w
Che angels hall burst upon pur firap
tured car, we will scarce regret that oar
ears were never marred with earthly
sounds. Oh I the brightest eyes in
heaven will be those that never saw on
eartlu Tho ears most alert in heaven
will be thoso that in this world heard
neither voice of friend, nor thrum of
harp, nor carol of bird, nor doxology of
congregations.
A lad who had been blind from In
fancy was cured. The oculist operated
upon the lad, and then put a very heavy
lannas;e over the eyes, and after a few
weeks had gone by, the bandage was re
moved, and the mother said to her child
"Willie, can you see?" He said: "Oh
mamma, is this heaven?" The contrast
between tho darkness before and the
brightness afterward was overwhelming.
And I tell you the glories of heaven will
be a thousandfold brighter for those who
never saw anything on earth. While
many with good vision closed their eyes
in night, and many who had a good.
artistic and cultured ear went down into
discord, these aUlicted ones cried unto
the Lord in their trouble, and he made
their sorrows their advantage, and so
"the lame took the prey."
in me beventn century there was a
legend of Sl Modobert. It was said that
his mother was blind, and one day while
looking at his mother he felt so sympa
thetic for her blindness tliat he rushed
forward and kissed her blind eyes, and,
the legend says, her vision came im
mediately. That was only a legend, but
it is a truth, a glorious truth, that a kiss
or uod s eternal love has brought to
many a blind eye eternal illumination.
A step further: There are those in all
communities who toil mightily for a live
lihood. Ihey have scaur wages. Per
haps they are diseased, or have physical
inllrmities, so they are hindered from
doing a continuous day's work. A city
missionary finds them up the dark alley,
with no fire, with thin clotlung, with
very coarse bread. They never ride in
the 6treet cars; they cannot afford tho
five cents. They never see any pictures
save those in the show window on the
street, from which they are often jostled,
and looked at by some one who seems to
say in the lookf "Move onl what are
you doing here looking at pictures?"
1 et many of them live on mountains
cf transfiguration. At their rough table
ho who fed the five thousand breaks tho
bread. They talk often of the good
times that are cominr. This world has
no charm for them, but heaven entrances
their spirit. They often divide their
scant crust with some forlorn wretch
who knocks at their door at night, and
on the blast of the night wind, as the
door opens to let them in, is heard the
voice of him who said : "I was hungry
and ye fed me." No cohort of heaven
will bo too bright to transport them. By
God's help they have vanauished the
Assyrian host. They have divided
unong (them the spoils. Lame, lame,
yet they took the prey.
I was riding along the country road
one day, and I saw a man on crutches.
I overtook him. He was very old. He
was going very slowly. At tliat rate 'it
would have taken him two hours to go a
mile. I 6aid: ''Wouldn't you like to
ride?" He said : "Tliank you, I would.
God bless you." When he sat beside me
he said: "iou see I am very lame and
very old, but the Lord has been a good
Lord to me. I have buried all my chil
dren. The Lord gavd them and the Lord
had a right to take them away. Blessed
be his name. I was very sick and I had
no money ana my neighbors came in
and took care of me and I wanted noth
ing. I suffer a great deal with pain, but
then I have so many mercies left. The
Lord has been a good Lord to me. " And
before we had got far I was in doubt
whether I wa3 giving him a ride or he
was giving me a ridel lie said: "Now,
if you please, I'll get out here. Ju.t
help me down on my crutches, if you
please. God bless you. Thank you, sir.
Good morning. Good morning. You
have been feet to the lame, sir, you have.
Good morning." Swsrthy men liad gone
the road that day. I do not know where
they came out, but every hobble of that
old man wa3 toward the 6bining gate.
With his old crutch he had struck down
many a Sennacherib of temptation which
p.as mastered 3'ou and me. Uune, so
fearfully lame, so awfully lame; but he
took the prey.
A step further: There are In all com
munities many orphans. During our
last war and in the years immediately
following, how many children we heard
say: "Uni my iatnr was Killed m tne.
war. Have you ever noticed 1 fear
you have not how well those children
have turned out? Starting under the
greatest disadvantage, no orphan asylum
could do for them what their father
would hare done had ha lived. The
skirmisher sat one r.Ighf, by the light of
fagots, in tho swamp, writing a letter
home, when a sharpshooter's bullet ended
the letter which was never folded, never
pced and never read.
Those ciuidrpTj came up under great
disadvantage. No father to fight their
way for them. Perhaps there' was in the
old family Bible an old yellow letter
pasted fat, whksh tedd the story of that
" father's long march, and how he suffered
in the hospital: but they looted still fur
i ther on in the Bible, and they came to
the 6tory of how God is the father of the
' fatherless, and the widow's portion, and
tiury eson took their father's place in that
household. Tifiy battled tho way for
their mother.' They cams 0Xi up. and
; many cf them have in the years since
the war taken positions in church and
state While many of those who 6u(Tered
notlung during fhoso times hare had sons
go out into lives of indolence and vaga
bondage, these who started under so
, many disadvantages because they were
so early bereft, these are the lame who
took tlio prey.
A step further: There are those who
would I iks to do good. They say: ''Oh!
if 1 cr.!y liad wealth, or, if I had elo
quence, or if I had high social position,
how much I would accomplish for God
and tlio church I" I stand here today to
tell you that you havo great opportuni
ties for usefulness. '
Who built the Ppaaalds The king
who ordered them built? No; the plain
workmen who added stone after stone
nnd stone after stone. Who built the
dikes of Holland? The government that
ordered the enterprise? No; the plain
-workmen ss-h.g carried the earth and
rung their trowel on iiw vt!J- Who are
thoe who have built these vast cities!
The capitalists? No; the carpenters, the
j masons, the plumbers, the plasterers, the
Hmiers, the roofers, dependent on a day's
wages for a livelihood. And so in the
great work -of assuaging human suffer
ing and enlightening human Ignorance
and halting human iniquity. In that
great work, the chief part fa to be done
by ordinary men. with ordinary speech.
in an ordinary manner, and by ordinary
means. The trouble is that in the army
of Christ we all want to bo captains and
colonels and brigadier generals. We are
not willing to march with the rank and
hie and to do duty with the private sol
dier. We want to belong to the reserve
corps, and read about the battle while
warming ourselves at the campflrcs, or
on furlough at home, our feet upon an
ottoman, we sagging back Into an arm
chair.
As you go down the street you see an
excavation, ana iour or live men are
working, and perhaps twenty or thirty
leaning on the rail and looking over at
them. That Is the way it is in the
church of God today: where you find
one Christian hard at work, there are
fifty men watching the job.
Oh I my friends, why do you not go to
work and preach this Gospel ? You say
. . w a a. v -
1 nave no puipit.- xounave. It may
be the carpenter's bench, it may be the
mason's walL The robe in which you
are to proclaim this Gospel may be a
shoemaker's apron. But woe unto you
u you preach not this Gospel somewhere,
somehow I If this world is ever brought
to Christ, it will be through the unanim
ous ana long continuea eirorts or men
who, waiting for no sjiecial endowment.
consecrate to God what thev have.
Among the most useless people in the
world are men with ten talents, while
many a one with onlv two talents, or no
talent at all. Is doing a great work, and
so 'the lame take the prey.''
There are thousands of ministers of
whom you have never heard in los
cabins at the west, in mission chapels at
the east who are warriiiir airainst the
legions of darkness, successfully warrinn
Tract distributors, month by month un
derminiug tho citadels of sin. You do
not know their going or their coming,
but tho footfalls of their ministry are
heard in the palaces of heaven. Who
aro tho workers in our Sabbath schools
throughout this land today? Men cele
brated, men brilliant, men of vast es
tate? For the most part, not that at all
I have noticed that tho chief characteris
tics of the most of those who are success
ful in the work is that thev know their
Bibles, are earnest in prayer, are anxious
for tho salvation of the young, and Sab
bath by Sabbath are willing to sit down
unobserved and tell of Christ and the
resurrection. These are the humble
workers who are recruiting the great
army of Christian youth not by might.
not by power, not by profound argument,
not by brilliant antithesis, but by the
blessing of God on plain talk, and humble
story, and silent tear, and anxious look
'The lame take the prey.
Oh I this work of saving the youth of
our country how few appreciate what
it 13 1 This generation tramping on to the
grave we will soon all be gone. What
next?
An engineer on a Jocornotive going
across the western prairies day after day.
saw a little child come out in front of a
cabin and wave to him; so he got in tho
habit of waving back to the little child
and it was the day's joy to him to see
this little one come out in front of the
cabin door and wave to him, while he
answered back.
One day the train was belated and it
came on tp the dusk of the evening. As
the engineer stood at his post he saw by
tho headlight that fittle girl on the track,
wondering why the train did not come,
looking for the train, knowing nothing
of its peril. A great horror seized upon
the engineer. He reversed the engine.
ne gave it in charge of the other man on
board, and then he climbed over the en
gine, and be came down on the cow
catcher. He said, though he had re
versed the engine, it seemed as though
it were going at lightning speed, faster
and faster, though it was really slowing
up. and with almost supernatural clutch
he caught that child by the hair and
lifted it up, and when the train stop)cd
and the passengers gathered around to
see what was the matter, there the old
engineer lay, fainted dead away, the
little child alive and in his swarthy
arms.
"Oh!" you say, "that was well done."
But I want you to exercise some kind
ness and some appreciation toward those
in the community who are snatching the
little ones from under the wheels of
temptation and sin snatching them from
under thundering rail trains of eternal
.disaster, bringing them up into respecta
bility in this world and into glory fot the
world to come. You appreciate what
the engineer did; why can you not ap
preciate the grander work done by every
Sabbath school teacher this afternoon?
Oht my friends, I want to impress
upon myself and upon yourselves that it
is not tho number of talents we possess,
but the use we make of them.
God has a royal family in the world.
Now, if I should ask: "Who are the
royal families of history?" you would
say: "llouse of fiapsburg. house 01
Stuarts, house of Bourbons." They lived
in palaces and had great equipage. But
who are the Lord 8 royal family? Some
of them may serve you in the household,
some of them are in unlighted garrets,
some of them will walk this afternoon
down the street, on their arm a basket of
broken food; some of them are in the
almshouse, despised sud, rejected of mpn.
yet in the last great day, while it will be
found that some of us wlio fared sumpt
uously every day are hurled back into
discomfiture, there are the lame that will
take the prey.
One step further: There are a great
many people discouraged about getting
to heaven. You are brought up in good
families, you had Christian parentage;
but they frankly tell me that you are a
thousand miles away from the rurht
j - T v
track.
My brother, ypu are the one I want to
preach to this roopiing. I have been
looking for you. I will tell you how you
got astray. U was pot maliciousness on
your part. It was perhaps through the
geniahty and sociality pf your pature
that FOU fell into sin. You wandered
away from your duty, you unconsciously
eft the house of God; you admit the
Gospel to be true, and -yet you have so
grievously and so prolongedly wandered,
you say rescue is impossible.
It would take week to count up the
name of tbecs in heaven who were on
arth worse than yon tell me you ar
They went the whole round of Iniquity,
they disgraei'd themselves, they disgraced
their household, they despaired ol return
because their reputation was gone, their
projerty was gone, everything was gone,
but. in some hour like this heard the voice
of God, and threw themselves on the
divine compassion, nnd they rose up more
than conquerors. And I twll you there
is the same chance for you. Tliat is one
reason why I like to preach this Gospel,
so free a Gospel, so tremendous a Go- pel.
It takes a man all wrong, and makes him
all right.
In a ' former settlement where I
preached, a member of my congregation
quit the house of God. quit rcspfciahla
circles, went into all styles of sin. and
was slain of his iniquity. Tlieday lor his
burial came, and his body was brought
to the house of God. Some of his com
rades who had destroyed liim were over
heard along tho 6treet, on the way to the
burial, saying: "Come, let us go and
hear Talmago damn this old sinner J"
Oh I 1 had nothing but tear9 for tlio
dead, and I had nothing but invitations
for the living. You see I could
not do any otherwise, "Christ Jesus
came to seek and save that which
was lost." Christ in his dying prayer
said: "Father, forgive tliein," and that
was a prayer for you and for me. Oh!
start on the road to heaven today. You
are not happy. Tho thirst of your soul
will never be slaked l?y the fountains of
sin. You turn everywhere but to God
for helj Right where you are, call on
him. He knows you. he knows all aloit
j on, ne Kiiinvt a:i ii;c ciii.s against u uu. u
you have been contending in life. Do
not go to him with a long rigmarole of a
prayer, but just look up and say: "Help!
Help!"
Hut you say: "My hand 'trembles po
from my dissipations I can't even take
hold of a hymn look to fcing. " Do r.ot
worry alwut that, my brother; I will
give out a hymn at the close so familiar
you can sing it without a book. I Jut yon
say: I have such terrible habits on me
I can't get rid of them.'' My answer id
Almightv grace can break up that habit.
and will break it ur. Iiut von sav: "The
wrong I did was to one dead and i:i
heaven how, and I can't correct that
wrong." You can correct it. Bv the
grace of God, go into the presence of that
one, and the apologies you ou-'ht to have
made on earth make in heaven.
Oh f savs some man, "if 1 should
try to do right, if 1 should turn away
from my evil doina unto the lxid. 1
would be jostled, I would le driven
back; nobody would have any sympathy
for tut" You are mistaken. Here, in
the presence of the church on earth and
in heaven, I give you today tho right
hand of Christian fellowship. God sent
me here today to preach this, and he
sent you here to hear this: "Let the
wicked forsake his way. and the
unrighteous man his thought, and
let him return unto the Lord, who
will have mercy, and unto oui
(od. who will abundantlv nan Ion "

lears ago, on a boat on tla No.tb
river, tne pilot gave a very s.iarp nnrr to
the bell for the boat to slow un. The
sngineer attended to the machinery, and
then he camo up with some alarm on
deck to see what was the matter. He
naw it was a moonlight night and there
were no obstacles in the wav. He went
to the pilot and said: "Why did you
ring the bell in that way? Why do
you want to stop? there's nothing
the matter." And the pilot said to
him: "There is a mist gathering
m the river; don't you see that? and
there is night gathering darker and
darker, and I can't see the way." Then
the engineer, looking around and seeing
it was a bright moonlight, looked into tli
face of the pilot and eaw tliat he was
dying, and then that he was dead.
God grant that when our last moment

Diphtheria Carried by Tnrfceys.
Dr. Paulinis reports a most interesting
epidemic of diphtheria which occurred
in Skiatos, one of the Grecian isios, ia
tho year 1884. The population of this
island at the time was about four thou
sand, ur. iiia, an old practitioner, is
the authority for the statement
thirty years no case of diphther:
Deen Known on the island, in June a
child aged 12 years was attr.pkeej wUh
diphtheria and died. Seven other caats
occurred in the imru3diateneighborhoKi;
five of these died. The disease extended,
until, within a period of five months, 100
persons were attacked, of which number
36 died. Three weeks before the sick
ness of the first child, a flock of turkeys
arrived from Salonica. Two of these
were sick on arrival, and each of the
others were subsequently attacked.
Dr. Paulinis found in the throat3 of
the sick ones patches of faks membrane.
The glands of the neck were, swollen,, and
in one bird the disease bad extended to
the larynx, njalfipg it hoarse. One or the
turkeys, after recovery, had paralysis of
tho legs, and was unable to walk. Al
though there had been no immediate
contact between the sick birds and the
first child attacked, still the distance be
tween them was slight, and a wine had
bfen for seme uipivjng r a direc- ',
ilori favorable to the transportation of the
disease. Dr. Paulinis believed that the
disease was contracted from the-turkevs.

The Indians on the San Carlos reseira
