TALUACElSSERrON.
Dr, Talmage'i atrmon is on the "Wide
Open Door," and his text, Bev.iv, I.
"And, brstfjld, a door was opened ia
heaven." Following is his sermon:
John had been the pastor of a church
in Kphesus. Ha had been driven from
his position in that city by an indig
nant popoJaee. The preaching of a
pure and earnest gospel had made-aa
excitement dangerous to every form of
iniquity. This will oftf Jfe the result
of pointed preaching. Men will flinch
under the sword stroke of truth. You
ought not be surprised that the blind
man makes an outcry of pain when the
surgeon removes the cataract from his
eye. It is a good sign when yofl see
men uneasy in the church pew and ex
hibiting impatittiee at some plain utter-'
auce of truth- which smites a pet sin
Hist they are bagging to their hearts.
After the patient has been so low that
for weeks he said nothing and noticed
nothing, it is thought to be a good sign
when he begins to be a little cross. And
so 1 notice that spiritual invalids are in
a fair way for recovery, when they be
come somewhat irascible and choleric
under the treatment of the truth. liut
John had so mightily inculpated public
iniquity that be had been banished
from his church and sent to I'atmos, a
desolate island, only a mile in breadth,
against whose rocky coasts the sea rose
and mingled its voice with the prayers
and bymnings of the heroic exile.
You cannot but contrast the condition
of this banished apostle with that of
another famous exile. Look at tlie
apostle on I'atmos and the great French
man on .St. Helena, l oth were suffer
ing among desolation and barrenness
because of offenses committed. Both
had passed through lives eventful and
thrilling. Both had been honored and
despised. Both were imperial natures.
Both had been turned off to die. Yet
mark the infinite difference: one had
fourbt for the perishable crown of
worldly authority, the other for one
eternally lustrous. The one had marked
his path with the bleached skulls of his
followers, the other bad introduced
peace and good will among men. The
one had lived chiefly for self aggran.
dixement and the other for the glory of
Christ The successes of the one were
achieved amid the breaking of thou
sands of hearts and the acute, heaven
rending cry of orphanage and widow
hood, while the triumphs of the other;
made joy In heaven among the angels
of God.
The heart of one exile was filled with
remorse alid despair, while the other
was lighted op with thanksgiving and
inextiiruiIiabe hope. OverStUewau
vathtnad tha lilsrrnasa af

iwattCMnmlawiii with the
BgbtBlags of a wrathful God, and tba
spray flung over the rocks seemed to
hiss with the condemnation: The way
of the nngodly shall perish." But over
Patmos the heavens were opened, and
the stormy sea beneath was forgotten
In the roll and glexm of waters from
onder the throne like crystal, and the
barrenness of the ground under the
apostle was forgotten, as above him he
sew the trees of life all bending under
the rich glow of heavenly fruitage
while the hoarse blast of doc tending
slements around his suffering body was
drowned in the trumpeting of trumpets
and tha harping of harps, the victorious
cry of multitudes like the voice of many
waters and (he hosanha of hosts in
number like the stars.
What a dull spot upon which to stand
and have such a glorious vision! Had
Patmos been so tropical island harbored
with the luxuriance fo perpetual sum
mer and drowsy with breath of cinna
mon and cassia and tesaelated with long
aisle of geranium and cactus we would
not have been surprised at the splendor
of the vision. 1 ut the last place you
would go to if you wanted to And beau
tiful visions would be the island of Pat
mos. Yet it is around such gloomy spot
that god makes the most wonderful
revelation. It wt s looking through the
awful shadows of a prison that John
Bunyan saw the gate of the celestial
city. God there divided the light from
the darkness. In that rloomv abode
on a scrap of old paper picked up about
his room, the great dream was written.
It was while John Calvin was a refugee
from bloody persecution and waa, hid
in a house at Angouleme, that he con
oaived tha Idea of writing his immortal
inatitota. Jacob had many a time seen
sun breaking through the wists and
kindling them into shafts and pilars
ef Aery splendor that might wall have
beam a ladder for the angels to tread on
but the famous ladder which he saw
soared through a gloomy night

that God is looking down upon the

tains and lakes snd prairie and oceaas

As we take our stand upon some high

so with God. Although standi n? far
up in the very tower of heaven, nothing
by reason of its smalluess escapes His
vision. Every lily of the field, every violet
under the grass, the tiniest heliotroj,
aster and gentian are as plainly seen by

or fades without His notice. From
this door in heaven God see all human
conduct and the world's moral charges.
Not one tear of sorrow falls in hospital
or workshop or dungeon but He sees it
and in high heaven makes rec3rd of its
fall. The worlds iniquities in all (heir
ghastliness glower under ' His vision.
Wars and tumults and the desolations
of famine and earthquake, whirlwind
and shipwreck spread out before llim.
If there were no being in all the uni
verse but God He could be happy with
such an outlook as the door of heaven.
But there he stands, no more disturbed
by the fall of a kingdom than tle drop-
ping of a leaf, no more excited by the
rising of a throne than the bursting of
a bud, the falling of. a deluge than tlte
trickling of a raindrop. Earthly royal
ty clutches nervously its sceptre and
waits in suspense the will of inflamed
subjects and the crown is tossed from
one family to another. ' But above nil
earthly vicissitudes and the assault of
human passions in unshaken security
stands the King of Kings, watching all
the affairs of His empire from the in
troduction of an era to the counting of
the hairs of your head.
Again, I learn from the fact that a
door in heaven is opened, that there Is a
way of entrance for our prayers and of
egress for divine blessings. It does not
seem that our weak voice baa . strength
enough to climb up to God's ear. . Shall
not our prayer be lost in the clouds?
Have words win? The truth is pliin.
Heaven's door is wide osi u iwoeire
every prayer. Must it not be lead?
Ought it not to ring up with tto strength
ofstMhutgsT Must tt not be a ImU
lifceihe about of some chieftaia in the

shout, and the mere wish of the soul in
profound silence is as good as a wlsper;
It rises Just as high and accomplishes
Just as much.
nut ought not prayer to tie made up
of golden words if It Is to enter such a
splendid door and live beside seraphim
and archangel? Ought not every phrase
be rounded into perfection, ought not
the language be musical, and classio
and poetic, and rhetorical? No, tlie
most lUiterate outcry, the nnjointed
petition, the clumsy phrase, the sentence
breaking into grammatical blunders, an
unworded groan, is just as effectual if It
be the utterance of the soul's want A
heart all covered up with garlands of
thought would be no attraction toGod,
but a heart broken and contrite, that is
the acceptable sacrifice. "I know that
my Redeemer liveth," rising up in the
mighty harmony of a musical academy
may overpower our ear and' heart, but
it will not reach the ear of God liko the
broken-voiced hymn of some sufferer
amid rags and desolation looking up
trustfully to a -Savior a compassion,
singing amid tears and pangs, I know
that my Kedesnwr liveth." - - .
I suppose that there was more rhetoric
and ctaasie elegance In the prayers of
the Pharisee than of the publican, but
you know when successful. You may
kneel With complete elegance on
toft chushion at an alter of
and utter a prayer of Miltouic subhmty

Again: The" door of heaven stands
open for the Christian's final entrance.

it is entering an open dovr. If you ever
visit the old homestead where you were
born, and while father and mother are
yet alive, as you go up the lane in front
of the farm house and you put your
band on the door and lift the latch, do
you shudder with fear? - No, you are
glad to enter. So your last sickness
will be only the lane in front of your
Father's house from which you hear the
voice of singing before you reach the
door, and death, that is the lifting of
the latch before you enter the greetings
and embraces of the innumerable fam
ily of tlie righteous. Xay, tlie re is no
latch, for John says the door is already
open. What a company of spirits have
already entered those portal

from the earthly prison house, how they

How to Talk Well
If one might eoooss between briag
very handsome, with tolerable
ners. and being plain, with a fine.
well
modulated voire and better
than ordinary, be would wisely prefer
the latter. We do not feel the charm
of well taturbt speech, because it is so
seldom beard. But once felt it
spell which lingers in the mind forver.
The beauty of the face strikes the eye,
the tone of the voice stirs the heart
A fine voice, which does not
mean a
loud one by any means, is always a dis
tinct one, which can be unerringly
beard without effort of the speaker-
An indistinct utterance is always
sign of mental or physical deficiency,
which ought to be promptly mastered.
And it takes very hard work often . to
get the better of this slovenly pronun
ciation. Learn to speak. Jt ts easier
when you come down in the morning
to grunt in answer to good morning
than to say tlie two words, but you
must not allow yourself this piggish
boorish habit of grunting in place oi
speech. Neither, John Alexauder, must
you let your sleepy, dreamy, unsocial
temper control you so that you speak
in a dull, thick tone at the hack of the
throat, which is of all others tlie most
trying voice to understand.
blow speech is an intolerable affront
to others and waste of time. I went to
church yesterday and sat out a sermon
which wasted thirty-five minutes of the
possible forty years 1 have yet to live,
listening to such novel and profound
remarks as these: "Animals are en
dowed with life," "Human beings have
reason," spoken in a ponderous wsy, as
if the speaker's wjts were wool, gather
ing, each sentence. You may believe I
would not have wasted so much of my
precious life waiting on such sluggish
mud flowing if the sexton had not seat.
ed me too tar up the aisle to get out
without making a procession of myself
before the congregation. You must
learn to talk to the point and with
celerity that is, not chattering, but
with smooth, ready flow of language
without jerks or confusion.
To speak sweetly, make the toilet of
your mouth and nose with care three
times a day. There should be three
minutes after each meal given to per
sonal care, rinsing the mouth, clearing
the throat and using the handkerchief,
which should then make it appearance
as seldom as possible. A habit of deep
breathing also clears the voice and give
it fullness and softness at command.
What to ssy, and how to ssy it is all
there is to the art of conversation.
True, this is like saying that earth, air
and water are all there is to the world,
is U were simple as bwswax. But it
keuung 10 snow wnen you want to
begin to improve talk, and thaftfby
finding out just what you want to say.
The other day a very bright woman
asked me bow she should write an ad-
TerUaement for a merchant I asked
her for an idea of what she wanted to
say, and the first sentence she uttered
was the announcement complete. It
was simple, concise, perfect. Happily
the forms of polite speech are laid down
for us the "good morning" for thote
we meet with whom we are not inti
mate, the "how do you do" for friends
and neighbors.
People don't always feel themselves
the central interest In creation or wish
to talk about themselves. They are
rather complimented by talking about
their tastes rather that their affairs or
personal interests. You see the safe
topics can only be indicated by teach
ing yourself pretty decidedly w hat not
to say. Avoia questions if you can.
It sounds better to say, "I hope you are
not tired with you long walks." or "you
must be tired with it" than to ask
-Are you urea r; or "Have you come
far r Take everything creditable f.w
granted of your companion. Don't ask
perforce, "Do you like music?" In a
crude way, but "You are musical,'
with the very faintest questioning in
flection, or "You play tennis, I sup
pose f And If your unhappy respond
ent does not understand either of these
things, do not make him auy more un
happy by pause or comment, but turn
to something pwasanter for him.
Learn all the forms of courteous and
complimentary speech, - but use them
with distinction. You should know
when to say that you win be pleased to
accept a courtesy or attention, when
you wUl be "happy" to do the same,
and when you will be glad, in the open
heaxtedness of frank intimacy. Learn
the shades of civility; they give value
to Intercourse and meaning te cordial
tty when it cornea. Use the salt and
spice of conversation freely, but be
choice of your sugar, and above aB,
don,t be oily! There are people to
