has Ix-cn largo enough to hold tho audiences
attracted by tlio ltov. T. Do Witt Tahnnge,
D. I)., In nny part of this country or (bent
Britain for tlio Inst twenty yearn, tlio throngs
in niul nrounil tlio linin?uso nudionco room
of Brooklyn Tnbcrnncln win to lx increas

tills morning wero heartily Bung by tlio con
gregation. Dr. Talnmgo clioso for Ills suli
ject "Tlio Tlirco Greatest Tilings to Do." His
text wai Daniel xl, !U, "'lho peoplo that do
know their Uod shall bo strong, ntut ilo ox
doits." Following is tlio sermon t
Antlochus E-ii'iltaura enmo down tlirco
times with hlsnrmyto desolnto tlio Jowu,
advancing 0110 tlnio w itli ft hundred mid two
trained elephants swinging their trunks this
way and tlmt, nnd t.lxty two thouand In
fontry nnd six thousand cavalry troops, nnd
they wero driven btick. Then tlio secouil
timo ho ndvnnced with seventy thousand
nrmed men nnd hod been ngnlu defeated.
But tho third tlnio ho laid successful slcgo
until tho navy of Komocamo In with the
Jlash of their long IwnUs of oars nnd do
inandcdthat thoslego bo lifted. And Antl
ochus Eplphancs said ho wonted tlnio to con
sult with his friends nbout it, nnd Popllius,
ono of tho lloinou embassador, took ft stnIT
nnd inado n clrclo on tho ground nrouml
Antlochus Kplphnncs nnd coni'velled him to
decldo before ho anno out of tlmt clrclo;
whereupon lio lifted thoslego. Sonioof tho
Jowa had submitted to tho invader, but, sonio
of them resisted vigorously, ns did Klcazer
when ho had swluo'fl ttcsh forced into Ills
mouth, suit it out. although ho know ho must
tlio for it, nnd did dio for it, mid others, ns
my text says, wero enabled to do exploits.
An exploit I would deflno to bo n hcrolo
net, u brnvo feat, n great achievement.
"Well," you say, "I uduilro such things, but
thcro is no cbnuco fur 1110; uthioisn fort of
n humdrum life. If I had an Antlochus
Eplphaucs to light I also could do exploits."
You lira fight so far r.s great wars tiro con
eemed. Tliero will probably bo no oppor
tunity to distinguish yourself In tattle Tho
most of tho brigadier generals of this coun
try would novcr havo been hcr.nl of had it
not been for tho war. (Jen. Uraut would
havo remained in tho useful work of tanning
hides nt Galena, nnd Stonewall Jackson
would havo continued tho quiet collego pro
fessor In Virginia. And whatever military
talents you linvo will probably lio dormant
forover. Neither will you become. 11 great
inventor. Nineteen hundred nnd ulun-niiio
cut of every two thousand inventions found In
tho patent ofllco at Washington never yielded
their authors enough money to pay for tho
excuses of securing tho patent. Bo you will
probably never Iks n Morso or an Edison or n
Humphrey Davy or nn Ell Whitney. Thcro
is not much probability that you wl.l bo tho
ono out of 11 hundred that achieves extraor
dinary success in commercial or legal or
medical or literary spheres. What thou Can
you havo 110 opportunity to do exploits I
nni going to show you today that there are
thrco opportunities open that nro grand,
thrilling, far reaching, ctupendous nnd over
whelming. Thoy nro lieforo you now. In
one, if not nil threo of them, you may do
exploits. Tho thrco greatest things 0:1 earth
to do are to savo n man, or savo n woman, or
savo 11 child.
During tho courso of his Hfo almost every
man gets Into nu exigency, is caught lie
In cen two (Ires, is ground betwo;n two mill
stones, sits on tho edge of borao precipice, or
in somo other way comes near demolition.
It may bo 11 financial orn moral or a domes
rlc or n social or it political exigency. You
lomcthuos seo it in court rooms. A young
man lias got into bad company nnd ho has
offended tho law, and ho U arraigned. All
blushing and confused ho is in tho prerenal
of Judgo nnd jury and lawyers. Ilo can bo
scut right on in tho wrong direction. Hois
feeling disgraced, and ho is almost ilcsncrate.
Let tho dUlrict attorney overhaul hlui ns
though ho wero an old offender, let tlio ablest
nttornoys nt tho bar refuse to bay a word for
him becauso ho cannot nlford n considerable
fee, let tho Judgo glvo no opportunity for pre
senting tho mltlgntlu:; circumstances, hurry
up tho caso nnd hustlo him up to Auburn or
Sing Slug. If ho livo seventy years, for sev
enty years ho will bo ft criminal, and each
dec-ulo of his lifo will bo blacker than its
predecessor. In tho interregnums of prison
lifo lio can get no work, and ho is glad to
break n window glass, or blow up a safe, or
play tho highwayman, so ns to get tack
again within tho walls where ho can get
something to cat and hldo hiiusclf from tho
crupl gazo of tho world. Why don't his
father como and holp him? His father is
dead. Why don't his mother como and help
himf Sho is dead. Where nro all tho n meli
orating and military influenced of society!
They do not touch him. Why did not somo ono
long ago in tho caso understand that tliero was
mi opportunity for tho exploit which would
bo famous in heaven n quadrillion of years
after tho earth has become, scattered ashes in
tho last whirlwind Why Old not tho dis
trict nttoruey tako that j oung man iuto his
p-ivnto ofllco and say: "ily bon, I teo that
you ore tho victim of circumstances. This
is your ilrst crime. You aro sorry. I will
bring tho person you wronged into your pres
ence, and you will apologise and nioko all
tho reparation you can, and I will give you
another chanco." Or that youhg man is pre
sented In tho couit room and lio has no
friends prescut, mid tho judgo says: "Who
is your counsel P And ho answers: "I havo
nouo." And tho judgo says: "Who will toko
this young man's easel" And there is a
dead halt and no ono offers, and after n
wlillo tho judgo turns to somo attorney who
nover had ft good caso iu all his Hfo and
nover will, and whoso advocacy will bo
enough to secui'o tuo condemnation of iuuo
ccuco Itself. And tho professional iucompo
tent crawls up tasido tho prisoner, helpless
ness to rescue despair, when tliero ought to
bo 11 strugglo ntnoug all tho best men of tho
profession ns ito who should havo tho honor
of trying torhelp that unfortunate. How
much would such nn attorney havo received
us his feo for such mi advocacy ? Nothing in
dollars, but much every way In n happy con
fciousiicsi that wou d mnko his own Hfo
brighter nnd his own dying pillow tweeter
and his own ln-avon happier tho conscious
ness that ho had saved a maul
Bo thcro nro commercial exigencies. A
very lato spring obliterates tho demand for
t pring overcoats nnd spring huts nnd spring
apparel of all sorts. Hundreds of thousands
of pcoplo say: "It seems no aro going to
havo no sprlirg, mid wo shall go btrnlght out
of winter into warm weather, and wo can
get along without tho usual spring attire,"
Or thcro is no nutumn weather, tho be'ife
plunging Into tho cold, nnd tho usual cloth
ing, which Is n compronilso between summer
awl winter, is not required. It makes n dif
ference iu thn sale of millions mid millions
of dollars of poods, nnd bomo ovcrcauguluo
young merchant J caiigut yrjtu a vmf
amount of dnuhblo goods that never
will bo t-alablo ngnlu except nt prices
ruinously loduood. Tltnt young mer

old merchants do n. thev eo that young man
In this awful crisis! Hub their hands nnd
laugh nnd sai "Good for him. Ho might
havo kuon 11 licttcr. When ho has been iu
business ns long us wo have, ho will not load
his nhelvcn In that way. Hnl I In Ho will
burst up lieforo long. Ho had no business to
open his Btoro so near to ours anyhow."
Sheriffs snlol lied Hag in tho window: "How
much lii bid for theso out of tho fashion
spring overcoat nnd spring hats or fall
clothing out of date! Whnt do I hear in tho
way of n bldf "Kottr dollars." "Absurd,
I cannot take that bid of four dollars apiece.
Why, theso coats when Ilrst put tiHn tho

nnd now 1 mil offered only four dollars, is
tlmttdlf Klvo dollars do I hear? Uolngnt
I hat I (I0110 nt flvo dollars," mid ho takes tho
whole-lot. Tho young merchant goes homo
tlmt night and says to hU wife: "Well,
AJnry, wo will havo to movo out of
this houso nnd sell our pinna That old
merchant tlmt has had nu ovlloyoou mo
cversluco I started has bought out nil that
clothing, nnd ho will havo it rejuvenated,
nnd next year put it on tho market ns now,
whllo mo will do well if wo keep out of tho

spirited, goes to hard drinking. Tho young
wife, with her taby, goes to her father's
houso, niul not only Is ills storo wicd out,
but his home, his morals nnd his prospects
for two worliN, thU and tho next. And
dovlU mako u banquet of fire nnd (1 1 their
ciqM of gall mid drink deep to tho health of
tho old morchaut who swallowed up tho
young merchant who got stuck on spring
goods and Vicut down. That Is ouo way, and
r.omo of you havo tried it.
Hut thcro Is another way. That young
mcrchnut who found that ho had miscal
culated In laying in too tunny goods of ouo
kind nnd been flung of tho unusual season, is
ttnndlng Ichlud tho counter feeling very
bluo and biting his finger will., or looking
over his account books, which rend darker
and worso every timo ho looks nt them, and
thinks how his young wlfo will havo to bo
put In n plainer houso than she ever ex
pected to llvo In, or go to n third rnto board
ing houso whero thoy havo tough liver nnd
sour bread llvo mornings out of tho soven.
An old merchant comes in nnd says, "Well,
Joo, this has been n hard season for youug
merchants, and this prolonged cool weather
has put many Iu tho doldrums, and 1
havo been thinking of you a good
deal of late, for just after I started
In business I onco got into tho samo ncrapc.
Now if thcro isnnything I can do to help
you out I will gladly do it. Better just put
thoo good:) out of sight for tho present, and
next season wo will plan romcthiug about
them. I will belli you to como goods that you
can sell for moon commission, and I will go
down to ono of tho wholcsalo housc3 and tell
them that I know you ami will tack you up,
nnd if you want a fow dollars to brldgo over
tho present I can let you havo them, ilo us
economical oh you can, keep a stiff uj)
per lip nnd remember that you havo
two friends, God nnd myself. Good
morningl" Tho old merchant goes away
and tho young twin goes behind
his desk and tho tears roll down his checks.
It iJ tho ilrst timo bo has cried. Disaster
inado him mad nt everything, nnd mad at
man nnd mad nt God. But this kindness
melts him and tho tears seem to rcliovo his
brain, and his spirits riso from ten below
zero to eighty in tho shade, anil ho comes out
of tho crisis. And about thrco years tiftcr
this younu merchant goes iuto thooldmcr
chaiit'ar.toronndsayc "Well, my old friend,
I was this morning thinking over what you
did for mo thrco years ngo. You helped mo
out of nn awful crisis In my commercial his
tory. I learned wisdom nnd prosperity has
come, and tho jiallor has gono out of my
wifo'a cheeks, nnd tho roses that wero thcro
when I courted herin her father's houso havo
bloomed again, and my business is splen

let you know that you saved n
luanP Iu-a short itli.10 after, tho old mer
chant, who had been a good whllo shaky in
his limbs and had poor sjiclls, is called to
leavo tho world, and ono morning after ho
had read tho twenty-third Psalm, nbout "Tho
Lord is my Shepherd," ho closes his eyes 0:1
this world, nnd an nngcl who had been for
many years appointed to watch tho old man's
dwelling cries upward tho news that tho pa
triarch spirit is c bout ascending. And tho
twelve angels who keep tho twelvo gates of
heaven unito In crying down to this ni
proachlng spirit of tho old man: "Como in
nt any of tho twelve gates you choosol Como
in nnd welcome, for it has been told all over
theso celeitial neighborhoods that you saved
a man."
Thcro romctlnics como exigencies in tho
Hfo of a woman. Ono morning nbout two
yeareago 1 saw in tlio newspaper that thcro
was a youug woman in Now York whoso
pockeU.ool:, containing $37.&J, had been
stolen and sho had been left without a
farthing at tho beginning cf winter iu n
strango city, and no work. And although
sho was a btrauger, I did not allow tho I)
o'clock mall to leave tho lamppost on our
corner without carrying tho $37.!1; and tho
caso was proved geuulne. Now I havo road
all Shakespeare's tragedies and ull Victor
Hugo'u tragedies nnd all Alexander Smith's
tragedies, but I nover road a tragedy
mora thrilling than that case, and
similar cases by tho hundreds and
thousands iu nil our largo cities; young
women without money und without homo
and without work in theso great maelstroms
of metropolitan life. When such a caso comes
under your observatlou, how do you treat itl
"Get out of my way; wo havo no room in
our establishment for any moro hands. I
don't beliovo iu women anyway; they aro a
lazy, idle, worthless set. John, plcaso bhow
this icrton out of tho door." Or do you com
pliment her pcrnnual apnoarauco, and say
things to her which If any mnu said to your
slstcr or daughter you would kill him ou tho
spot J That is ono way, nnd it is tried ovcry
day iu theso largo cities, and many of those
who advertiso for female hands iu factories
havo proved themselves unilt to bo lu any
placo outsldo of hell.
Ilut thcro is another way, nnd I saw it tho
other day iu tho Methodist liook Concern iu
Now York, w hero a youug woman applied
for wrk nnd tho gentleman iu tono and
manner said iu substance: "ily daughter,
wo employ women here, but I do not know
of nny vacant placo iu our department Yoa
had better inquire ut such and such u place,
and 1 hope yo;i v ill bo successful in getting
something to do." The embarrassed ttud hu
miliated woman Gsemcd to givo way to
Christian confidence. Sho starud out with
n hopeful I00U that I think inuit havo wen
for her a placo iu which to cam her bread.
1 rather think that considerate aud Christian
gentleman laved a wojuu. Now Yctk
and Brooklyu ground up last year about
thirty thousand j oung women and wouUliko
to griud up fcboul cj mauy this year. Ont of
ull thf.t I0112 procession of women who march
cuttiu ao hopo for this worm or tho next,
battel ed und bruise J and scoffed at aud flung
eg tuo puclpiec, not ono but might havo
been e.ived for houia and God aud heaven.
Hiu good men and good women aro tot iu
1i1.it I Hid pi busiuc.-j. Al.13 for that poor
Ihlttgl nothing but tho thread of that sowing
gill's ncedlo held her, and tho thread broke
I luo heard men tell in public dlscourso
whnt n man If, but what li a worn tut Until
somo ono Minll glvo a tatter definition 1 will
tell you whnt n woman I1. Direct from God,
nsnered nnd dclicnto gift with nffectlous so
great that no measuring lino short of
that of tho Infinite God can toll their
bound. Fitshloucd to rcflno nnd scotho
nnd Hit nnd irrndlnto homo and society
nnd tho world. Of suchvnluo Hint 110 ouo
can nppreclnto It, unlis his mother lived
long enough to let him understand It, or who
iu somo groat crisis of lifo when nil clso
failed him, had n wlfo to re-enforco him with
n faith in God Hint nothing could disturb.
Hoak out, yo cradles, nnd tcjt of tho feet
that rocked you nnd tho anxious facet that
hovered over you I Hpcukout, yo nurseries
of nil Christendom, nnd yo home, whether
desohitoov still in full bloom with tho faces
of wlfo, mother nnd daughter, niul help mo

win tho lovo nnd confldeilco and help nnd
companionship of n good woninn, ho Is tho
gnrlaudod victor nnd ought to havo tho
hands of ull icoplo between hero nnd tho
gr.ivo stretched out to hint lit congratulation.
Ilut us geographers tell us Hint tlio depths
of tho sea corresK)nd w tth tho heights of tho
mountain!!, 1 havo to toll you Hint good
womanhood Is not higher up that bad woman
hood Is deep down. Tho grander tlio wiliico,
tho moro nwful tho conflagration that de
stroys It, Tho grander tho steamer Oregon,
tho moro terrlblo her going dow 11 just off tho
coast. Now 1 should not wonder If you
trembled 11 llttlo with ft icuso of responsibil
ity when 1 say that thoro is hardly n person
In this hoiiHo but may havo an opportunity to
savo a woman. It tuny in jour caso bo
tlono by good advice, or by financial
help, or by trying to bring to bear somo
ouo of 11 thousand Christian influences. You
would not have far to go. If, for instance,
you know among your ncqimlutuuccs n
young woninn who Is npt to nppear 011 tho
strcetH about tlio hour when gentlemen re
turn front business, nnd you find hcrroKpoud
ing to tho miiIIo of ent'ro strangers, hogs
that lift their hats, go to her mid plainly tell
her tlmt nearly nil tho destroyed womanhood
of tho world licgnu tlio downward jmth witlt
tbnt very kind of behavior.
Or if, for Instance, you dud n woninn iu
financial distress nnd breaking down In
health nnd spirits trying to i.upport her chil
dren, now that her husband is dead or r.n in
valid, doing that very iiii'jortuntnnd liouora
bio work, but which is llttlo appreciated, keep
ing n boarding hous?, whero nil tho guests,
according r.s lltoy pay small board, or pro
pose, without paying any board nt nil, to do
camp, nro critical of ovcrythlng nnd hard to

fortuno niul with nil kindly lurround
iugs (hiding iu tho hollow lluttctics of
tho world her chief regalement, living for
herself and for timo na If tliero wero no eter
nity, strivo to bring her Into tho kingdom of
God, as did tho other day n Sabbath ichool
teacher who was tho means of tho conversion
tho daughter of a man of immcuso wealth,
and tho daughter resolved to join tbochurcb,
und sho went homo and bald: "Father, I nm
going to join tho church nnd I wnut you to
come." "Oh, no," ho said, "I never go to
church." "Well," said tho daughter, "if I
wero going to bo married would yon not go
to seo mo innrricUf ' And ho said: "Oh, yes."
"Well," cald she, "this is of moro Importnnco
than that." So ho went, and has gono over
since, nnd loves to go. I do not know but
that faithful Sabbath school teacher
not only saved a woman but raved
a man. Thero may bo lit this nudlcnco
gathered from nil parts of tho world, tho
most cosmopolitan assembly iu all tho earth,
tliero may bo a man whoso behavior toward
womanhood lias been pcrlldlous. Ilcient!
Stand up, thou masterpleco of sin nnd death,
thatlmnycharsoyoitl As fur ns possible,
mako reparation. Do not boast that you
hnvo her In your jwwer nnd that sho cannot
help herself. When that lino collar nnd
cravat nnd that elegant suit of clothes comes
on' nnd your uncovered soul stands iu judg
ment and boforo God, you will lw bettor oir
if you savo that woman.
Thcro is another exploit that you can do,
nud Hint is to savo n child. A child does not
seem to amount to intuit. It is nearly 11
year old taforo it can walk nt nil. For tho
first year nud n half it 011 tot speak a word.
For tho first ten years it would starvo if it
had to cam its own food. For tho Ilrst fif
teen yenrs its oiilnlous on nny subject nro
absolutely valueless. And then tliero nro to
mauy of them. My I what lots of children!
And somo pcoplo havo contempt for children.
They ura good for nothing but to wear out
tho carpets nnd break things mid kep
younwnko nights crying. Well, your esti
mate, of n child is qulto diuerciit from
that mother's estimate who lost her child
this summer. They took It to tho salt nir of
tho seashore nnd to tho tonic nir of tho moun
tains, but 110 help came, aud tho brief para
graph of Its Hfo is ended. Suppose that
lifo could ta restored by purchase, how much
would that bereaved mother give I Sho
would tako all tho jowcli from her fingers
nud neck nud. bureau and put them down.
Aud if told tltnt that was not enough, sho
would tako her houso and mako over tlio
deed for it, nud if that wero not enough sho
would call iu nil her Investments and put
down all her mortgages and bonds; and if
told that wero not ouough sho would say: "I
havo tuado over all my projterty, and If I
can havo that child back I will now pledgo
that I will toil with my own hands
nud carry with my own shoulders iu
any kind of hard work, nnd llvo iu
a cellar and dlo iu a garret. Only
glvo mo back that lost ' darling." I am jjlad
that thero aro thoso who know something of
tho vnluo of a child. Its possibilities aro
tremendous. What will thoso hands yet do?
Whero will thoso feet yet wulkf Toward
what destiny will that novcr dying soul bo
tako itself i Shall thoso lips ta tho throno of
blasphemy or benediction? Come.fall yo sur
veyors of tho earth, and bring link end chain
and measure if you can its possiblo posses
sions. Come, ull y 0 astronomers of tho earth,
with your telescopos and tell us if you
can sec tho rango of its eternal flight.
Come, ell yo chronologlsts, nud calculate
tho ilecedc on decades, tho centuries on
centuries, tho cycles on cycles, the eter
nities ou eternities of its lifottmo. Ob, to
savo a chllJl Am I not right in putting that
among tho gveat exploits? Yea, it beats tho
other two, for if you savo the child you savo
tho man or you savo tho wontau. C:t tho
drat tweuty years of that boy or girl all
right nud I guess you havo got manhpod or
womanhood all right, and their outlro earthly
and eternal career all right. But what aro
you going to do with thoso children who
