CARLISLE'S OPINION.
6071 the Government "Wonld Not Bo
Ilnck of Silver Under Free Coinage.
Lim.E Rock , Arlc , Aug L A state
ment was widely published by the
press a few days ago that President
G. L. Greea of the Connecticut Life
Insurance Company of Hartford , had
issued a circular letter to policy hold
ers notifying them that in the
event that the government adopted
the free coinage of silver the com
pany would be compelled to pay all
claims in depreciated silver coin. Mr.
F. W. Alsop of this city sent a clip
ping of this statement to Secretary of
the Treasury Carlisle , with a request
for an expression on the subject. He
has received a reply from Mr. Car
lisle , which is , in part , a * follows :
"In case free coinage of silver should
be established in this country , I pre
sume insurance companies and all
other institutions would continue to
make their payments by checks and
drafts on banks as heretofore ; but in
my opinion the- whole volume of our
currency would sink at once to the
silver basis , and those checks and
drafts would be paid in silver dollars
or their equivalent , instead of gold or
its equivalent , as is now the case.
"I presume no one supposes for
a moment that it would be the
duty of the government to attempt
to keep the standard silver dollar ,
coined free for private individuals
and corporations equal in value
to a gold dollar ; or , in other
words , that it would be the duty
of the government to attempt , under
a system of free coinage , to main
tain the parity of the two metals. The
dollars would be coined on private
account and delivered to private indi
viduals and corporations as their own
property , the government having no
interest whatever in them , and being ,
therefore , under no obligation to sus
tain them by guaranteeing their
value.
"Under our existing system , all sil
ver dollars are coined on account of
the government and are issued by the
government in payment of its expend
itures and other obligations , and it
would be aa act of bad faith , there
fore , to nermit them to depreciate.
Very truly , Jonx G. Caelisle. "

that he intended to resign in favor of

TALMAGE'S SEKM0K
"THE GLOW OF SUNSET , " LAST
SUNDAY'S SUBJECT.
From the Text , "Abide With U for It
Ig rotrnrd Kvenlnc" Luke 24:29
Lightening of the Sorrow * of Life hy
the Gospel.
% L rT
WO villagers , hav
ing concluded their
errand In Jerusa
lem , have started
out at the city gate
and are on their
way to Emmaub ,
the place of their
residence. They go
with a sad heart.
Jesus , who had been
Y ?
' ' ' their admiration
and their jty , had been basely massa
cred and entombed. As with sad face
and broken heart they pass on their
way , a stranger accosts them. They
tell him their anxieties and bitterness
of soul. He in turn talks to them ,
mightily expounding the Scriptures.
He throws over them the fascination of
intelligent conversation. They forget
the time , and notice not the objects
they pass , and before they are aware ,
have come up in front of their house.
They pause before the entrance and at
tempt to persuade the stranger to tarry
with them. They press upon him their
hospitalities. Night is coming on , and
he may meet a prowling wild oeast. or
be obliged to lie unsheltered from the
dew. He cannot go much further now.
Why not stop there , and continue their
pleasant conversation ? They take him
by the arm and they insist upon his
coming in , addressing him in the
words : "Abide with us , for it is to
ward evening. "
The candles are lighted , the table is
spread , pleasant socialities are en
kindled. They rejoice in the presence
of the stranger guest. He asks a bless
ing upon the bread they eat , and he
hands a piece of it to each. Suddenly
and with overwhelming power the
thought flashes. upon the .astonished
people it is the Lord ! And as they sit
in breathless wonder , looking upon the
resurrected body of Jesus , he vanished.
The interview ended. He was gone.
With many of us it Is a bright , sun
shiny day of prosperity. There is not
a cloud in the sky , not a leaf rustling
in the forest. No chill in the air. But
we cannot expect all this to last. He
is not an intelligent man who expects
perpetual daylight of joy. The sun will
after awhile near the horizon. The
shadows will lengthen. While I speak ,
many of us stand in the very hour
described in the text , "for it is toward
evening. " The request of the text is
appropriate for some before me. For
with them it is toward the evning of
old age. They have passed the merid
ian of life. They are sometimes startled
to think how old they are. They do
not , however , like to have others re
mark upon it. If others suggest their
approximation toward venerable ap
pearance , they say , "Why , I'm not so
old , after all. " They do , indeed , no
tice that they cannot lift quite so much
as once. They cannot read quite so
well without spectacles. They cannot
so easily recover from a cough or any
occasional ailment. They have lost
their taste for merrimenL They are
surprised at the quick passage of the
year. They say that it only seems a
little while ago that they were boys.
They are going a little down hill. There
is something in their health , something
in their vision , something in their walk ,
something in their changing associa
tions , something above , something be
neath , something within , to remind
them that it is toward evening.
The great want of all such is to have
Jesus abide with them. It is a dis
mal thing to be getting old without
the rejuvenating influence of religion.
When we step on the down grade of
life and see that it dips to the verge
of the cold river , we want to behold
some one near who will help us across
it. When the sight loses its power to
glance and gather up , we need the faith
that can illumine. When we feel the
failure of the ear , we need the clear
tones of that voice which in olden
times broke up the silence of the deaf
with cadence of mercy. When the axe
men of death hew down whole forests
of strength and beauty around us and
we are left in solitude , we need the
dove of divine mercy to sing in our
branches. When the shadows begin to
fall and we feel that the day is far
spent , we need most of all to suppli
cate the strong , beneficent Jesus in the
praj-er of the villagers , "Abide with us ,
for it is toward evening. "
The request of the text is an appro
priate exclamation for all those who
are approached in the gloomy hour of
temptation. There is nothing easier
then to be good-natured when every
thing pleases , or to be humble when
there is nothing to oppose us , or for
giving when we have not been assailed ,
or honest when we have no induce
ment to fraud. But you have felt the
grapple of some temptation. Your na
ture at some time quaked and groaned
under the infernal force. Ycu felt that
the devil was after you. You saw your
Christian graces retreating. You
feared that you would fall in the aw
ful "wrestle with sin and be thrown
into the dust The gloom thickened.
The first indications of the night were
seen in all the trembling of your soul ;
in all lie infernal suggestions df Sa
tan , in all the surging up of tumultu
ous passions and excitements , you felt
with awful emphasis that it was to
ward evening. In the tempted hour
you need to ask Jesus to abide with
you. You can beat back the monster
that would devour you. You can un
horse the sin that would ride you
down. You can sharpen the battle-axe
with which you split the head * of
helmetcd abomination J Who helped
Paul shake the brazen-gated heart of
Felix ? Who acted like a coed sailor
when all the crew howled In the Med
iterranean shipwreck ? W7ho helped
the martyrs to be firm when one word
of recantation would have unfastened
the withes of the stake and put out the
kindling fire ? When the night of the
soul came on and all the denizens of
darkness came riding upon the winds of
perdition who gave strength to the
soul ? Who gave calmness to the heart ?
Who broke the -spell of infernal en
chantment ? He who heard the request
of the villagers , "Abide with us , for it
is toward evening. "
You have long rejoiced in the care of
a mother. You have done everything
to make her last days happy. You
have run with quick feet to wait upon
her every want. Her presence has
been a perpetual blessing in the house
hold. But the fruit-gatherers are look
ing wistfully at that tree. Her soul is
ripe for heaven. The gates are ready
to flash open for her entrance. But
your soul sinks at the thought of a
separation. You cannot bear to think
that soon you will be called to take the
last look at that face which from the
first hour has looked upon you with af
fection unchangeable. But you see that
life is ebbing and the grave will soon
hide her from your sight. You sit
quiet. You feel heavy-hearted. The
light is fading from the sky. The air
is chill. It is toward evening.
You had a considerable estate and
felt independent. In five minutes on
one fair balance-sheet you could see
just how you stood in the world. But
there came complications. Something
that you imagined impossible hap
pened. The best friend you had proved
traitor to your interests. A sudden
crash of national misfortunes pros
trated your credit. You may today be
going on in business , but you feel anx
ious about where you are standing , and
fear that the next turning of the wheel
will bring you prostrate. You foresee
what you consider certain defalcation.
You think of the anguish of telling
your friends you are not worth a dollar.
You know not how you will ever bring
your children home from school. You
wonder how you will stand the selling
of your library or the moving into a
plainer house. The misfortunes of life
have accumulated. You wonder what
makes the sky so dark. It is toward
evening.
Trouble is an apothecary that mixes
a great many draughts , bitter and sour
and nauseous , and you must drink
some one of them. Trouble puts up a
great many packs , and you must carry
some one of them. There is no sandal
so thick and well adjusted but some
thorn will strike through it. There is
no sound so sweet but the undertak
er's screw-driver grates through it. In
this swift shuttle of the human heart
some of the threads must break. The
journey from Jerusalem to Emmaus
will soon be ended. Our Bible , our
common-sense , our observation reiter
ate in tones that we cannot mistake ,
and ought not to disregard. It is to
ward evening.
Oh , then , for Jesus to abide with us.
He sweetens the cup. He extracts the
thorn. He wipes the tear. He hushes
the tempest. Ho soothes the soul that
flies to him for shelter. Let the night
swoop and the euroclydon cross the sea.
Let the thunders roar soon all will
be well. Christ in the ship to soothe
his friends. Christ on the sea to stop
its tumult. Christ in the grave to scat
ter the darkness. Christ in the heav
ens to lead the way. Blessed all such.
His arms will enclose them , his grace
comfort , them , his light cheer them ,
his sacrifice free them , his glory en
chant them. If earthly estate takes
wings , he will be an incorruptible treas
ure. If friends die , he will be their
resurrection. Standing with us in the
morning of cur joy and in the noon
day of our prosperity , he will not for
sake us when the lustre has faded and
it is toward evening.
# * *
This ought not to be a depressing
theme. WTio wants to live here for
ever ? The world has always treated
me well , and every day I feel less anu
less like scolding and complaining.
But yet I would not want to make this
my eternal residence. I love to watch
the clouds , and bathe my soul in the
blue sea of heaven ; but I expect when
the firmament is rolled away as a scroll
to see a new heaven , grander , higher
and more glorious. You ought to be
willing to exchange your body that has
headaches and sideaches and weaknesses -
• nesses innumerable , that limps with
the stonebru3e , or festers with the
thorn , or flames on the funeral pyre
of fevers , for an incorruptible body and
an eye that blinks not before the jas
per gates and the great white throne.
But between that and this there is an
hour about which no man should be
reckless or foolhardy. I doubt not your
courage , but I tell you that you will
want something better than a stroag
arm , a good aim and a trusty sword
when you come to your last battle.
You will need a better robe than any
you have in your wardrobe to keep you
warm in that place.
Circumstances do not make so much
difference. It may be a bright day
when you push off from the planet ,
or it may be a dark night and while
the owl is hooting from the forest. It
may be spring , and your soul may go
out among the blossoms , apple-or
chards swinging their censers in the
way. It may be winter and the earth
in a snow shroud. It may be autumn ,
and the forests set on fire by
the retreating year ; dead nature
laid out in state. It may be
with your wife's hand in your hand ,
or you may be in a strange hotel with
a servant faithful to the , last. It may
be in the rail train , shot off the switch
and tumbling in long reverberation
down the embankment crash ! crash !
I know not the time ; I know not the
mode ; but the days of our life are be
ing subtracted away and we shall come
down to the time when we have but
ten days left , then nine days , then
eight days , then seven days , six day ? ;
five days , four days , three days , tw :
days , one day. Then hours ; three
hours , two hours , one hour. Then only
minutes left ; five minutes , four min
utes , three minutes , two minutes , one
minute. Then only seconds left ; four
seconds , three seconds , two seconds ,
one second. Gone ! The chapter of life
ended ! The book closed ! The pulses
at rest ! The feet through with the
journey ! The hands closed from all
work. No word on the lips. No breath
In the nostrils. Hair combed back to
lie undisheveled by any human hands.
The muscles stTll. The nerves still. The
lungs still. The tongue still. All still.
You might put the stethoscope to the
breast and hear no sound. You might
put a speaking-trumpet to ths ear , but
you could not wake the deafness. No
motion ; no throb ; no life. Still ! still !
So death comes to the disciple ! What
if the sun of life Is about to set ? Jesus-
is the day-spring from on high ; the per
petual morning of every ransomed
spirit. What if the darkness comes ?
Jesus is the light of the world and of
heaven. WTiat though this earthly
house does crumble ! Jesus has pre
pared a house of many mansions.
Jesus is the anchor that always holds.
Jesus is the light that is never eclipsed.
Jesus is the fountain that is never ex
hausted. Jesus is the "evening star ,
hung up amid the gloom of the gath
ering night"
You are almost through with the
abuse and backbiting of enemies. They
will call you no more by evil names.
Your good deeds will no longer be mis
interpreted nor your honor filched. The
troubles of earth will end in the felici
ties ! Toward evening ! The bereave
ments of earth will soon be liftnd. You
will not much longer stand pouring
your grief in the tomb , like Rachel
weeping for her children or David
mourning for Absalom. Broken hearts
bound up. Wounds healed. Tears
wiped away. Sorrows terminated. Nc
more sounding of the dead march ! To
ward evening. Death will come , sweet
as slumber to the eyelids of the babe ,
as full rations to a starving soldier ,
as evening hour to the exhausted work
man. The sky will take on its sunset
glow , every cloud a fire-psalm , every
lake a glassy mirror ; the forests trans
figured ; delicate mists climbing the air.
Your friends will announce it ; your
pulses will beat it ; your joys will ring
it ; your lips will whisper it : "Toward
evening ! "
