TALMACE'S SERMON.
Talmage's text was II Kings xx, 11
'And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the
Lord: and he brought tl shadow ten
degrees backward by which it had gone
down in the dial ot Ahaz."
Here is the lirst clock or watch or
chronometer, or timepiece of which the
world ha3 any knowledge. But it was
a watch that did notnot tick and a
clock that did not strike. It was a sun
dial. Ahaz, the king, invented it. Be
tween the hours given to statecraft aud
the carei of office he invented some
thing by which he could tell the time of
day. This sun dial may have been a
great column, and when the shadow of
that column reached one point it was 9
o'clock a. m., and when it reached an
other point it was 3 o'clock p. m., and
all the hours and half hours were so
measured.
The clepsydra or water clock followed
the sun-dial, and the sand glass fol
lowed the clepsydra. Then came the
candle clock of Alired the Great, and
the candle was marked into three parts,
and while the first part was burning he
gave himself to religion, and while the
second part was burning he gave him
self to politics, aud while the third part
was burning he gave himself to rest
Afterawhile came the wheel and weight
clock, and Pojws Sylvester II. was its
most important inventor. And the
skill of centuries of exquisite mechan
ism toiled at the timepieces until the
world had the Vick s clock of the four
teenth century, aid Huyghens, the
inventor swung the first pendulum, and
Dr. llooke contrived the recoil escape
ment. And the 'endlo-s chain" fol
lowed, and the 'ratchet and pinion
lever" took its place; and the compen
sation balance and the stem winder
followed, an i now we have the buzz
and clang of the great clock and watch
a Tories of Switzerland and Germany
and England and America turning out
what steins to bo the perfection of
timepieces. It took the world ti.OOO
yeais to make the present chronometer.
o, with the measurement of longer
spaces than minutes and hours. Jiine
was calculated from new mooii to new
moon, then from harvest to harvest.
1 hen the year was pronounced to be
i'A days, and then 3i0 days, aud not
intil a long while after, 305 days. Then
i-vents were calculated from the foun
dation of Home atterward from the
Olympic g tmej. Then the Babylonians

hronology waj busy for centuries
tidying monuments, inscriptions,
oiiis, mummies and astronomy, trying
o lay a plan by which all question of
lates might be st-ttled and events put
.ii their right place in the procession or
i.e ages. Jsut the chronologists only
.eaped up a mountain of confusion and
oewilderment until in the sixth century
.jionysius Lxigenus, a doman abbot,
aid: "Let everything date from the
irlh at Bethlehem of Hie Lord Jesus
hrist, the savior of the world." The
ibbot proposed to have things dated
jack ward and forward from that great
iveut. What a splendid thought for
lie world! What a mighty thing for
itiristiauity! It would have been most
natural to date everything from the
reation of the world. But 1 am glad
.he chronologists could not too easily
;uess how old the world was in order
10 get the nations in the habit of dat
.ng from that occurrence in its docu
men Is and histories. Forever fixed is
o be dated with reference to the birth
if Christ.
But I promised to show you how the
shadows might bo turned back. First
uy going much among the young peo
pie. In most family cireles there are
grandchildren. By this divine arrange
ment most of the people who passed
the meridian of life can compass them
selves by juvenility. It is a bad thing
for an old - man or old woman to sit
looking at the vivacity of their grand
children shouting, "stop that racket!''
Better join in the fun. Let the 80-yeai'8-old
grandfather join Ihe8-years-vouug
grandson or granddaughter. My
father and mother lived to see over
eighty children and grandchildren and
greatgrandchildren, and a more boister
ous crew were never turned out on this
sublunary sphere and they all seemed
to cry to the old folks: "Keep young,"
and they did keep young. Don't walk
with a cane unless you have to, or only
as a defense in a city afflicted with too
many canines. Don't wear glasses
stronger than necessary, putting on
No. 10s when 18s will do as well. Don't
go imo the company of those who are
always talking about rheumatism and
lumbago and shortness of breath and
the brevity of human life. It is too
much for my gravity to hear an oc
togenarian talking about the shortness
of human life. From all 1 can find
out, he has always been here, and, from
present prospects, he is always going to
stay. Remain young. Hangup your
stockings in Christmas time. Help the
boys fly the kite. Teach the girls how
to dress their dolls. Better than arnica
tor your stiff Joints and catnip for your
sleepless nights will be a large dose of
youthful companionship.
Set back your clocks also by entering
on new and absorbing Christian works.
In our desire to Inspire the young we
hare In our essays had mncu to say
about what baa been accomplished by
the young; ot Romulus, who founded ,
Borne when be was 20 years of age;!
9t Coins, who lisd eonquered Mexico!
f.t d(J years; of rut, who was prime
minister of i ngland at 21 years; of
Calvin, who wrote his 'Institutes' at
20; of Melaucthon, who took a learned
professor's chair at 21 years; of Luther,
who had conquered Germany for the
reformation by the time he was 35
years. And it is all very well foi us to
show how early in life one can do very
great things for God and the welfare
of the world, but some of the mightiest
WJrk for God has been done by
septuagenarians, and octogenarians
and nonagenarians. J navel, there is
work which none but such can do.
They preserve the equipoise of senates,
of religious denominations, of reforma
tory movements. Young men for ac
tion, old men for counsel. Instead of
any of you beginning to fold up your
energies arouse anew your energies.
With the experience you have obtained
and the opportunities ot observation
you have had during a long life, you
ought to be able to do in one year now
more than you did in ten years right
after you had passed out of your teens

power ought to be more. Up to the

mers! What have been Bismarck to
Germany, and Gladstone to England,
and Oliver Wendell Holmes to America
in the time of an advanced age! Let
me say to those in the afternoon of life:
Don't be putting oil the harness; when
God wants it oil' he will take it off.
Don't be frightened out of life by the
tTip as many are. At the lirst sneeze
of an influenza many give up all as lost.
Xo new terror lias come on the earth.
The microbes as the cause of disease
were described in the ialinud 1,700
years ago as ' invisible legions of dan
gerous ones." Don't be scared out of
life by all this talk about heart failure.
That trouble has always been in the
world. That is what all the people
that ever passed out of this life have
died of heart failure. Adam had it
and all of his descendants have had it,
or will have it. Do not be watching for
symptoms, or you will have symptoms
of everything. Some of you will yet
die of symptoms. Symptoms are often
only what we sometimes see in the
country, a dead owl nailed on a barn
door to scare living owls. Put your
trust in God, go to bed at 10 o'clock,
have the window open six inches to let
in the fresh air, sleep on your right side
and fear nothing, The old maxim was
right: "Get thy spindle and distaff
ready, and God will send theellax!"
But while looking at this sun dial
of Ahaz, and 1 sie the shadow of it
move, 1 notice that it went back to
ward the sunrise instead of farvvard to
ward the sunset toward the morning
instead of toward the night. That
thing the world is willing now to do
and in many cases has done. There
have a great many things been written
and spoken about the sunset of lite.
I have said some of them myself. But
my text suggests a better idea. The
Lord who turned back that day from
going toward the sundown and started
it toward sunrise is willing to do the
same thing for all of us. The theolo
gians who stick to old religious technic
alities until they have become sopori
lices would not call it anything but
conversion. I call it a change from
going toward sundown to going toward
sunrise. That man who never tries to
unbuckle the clasp of evil habit and
who keeps all the sins of the past and
the present freighting him, and who
ignores the one redemption made by
the only one who could redeem; if
that man will examine the sun dial he
will find that his shadow is going for
ward and he is on the way to sundown.
His day is on the road tonight. All
tho watches that tick, all the clocks
that strike all the sand glasses that
empty themselves, all the shadows
that move on all the sun dials indicate
the approach of darkness. But noiv,
in answer to prayer, as in my text the
change was in answer to prayer, the
pardoning Lord reserves things and
the man starts toward sunrise istead of
sunset. He turns tho other way. The
captain of salvation gives him the
military command: "Attention!
Right about facet" He was marching
toward indifference marching toward
hardness of heart, marching toward
prayerlessness, marching, toward sin
marching toward gloom, marching
toward death.
Sow he turns and marches toward
peace marches towa.d comfort and
marches toward high hope, and
marches toward a triumph stupendous
and everlasting, toward hosannas that
that ever hoist and hallelujahs that
ever roll. Now if that is not the
turning of the shadow on the dial of
Ahaz from going toward sundown to
going toward sunrise, what is it?
As I look at that retrograde move
ment of tho shadow on Ahaz' dial I
remember that it was a sign that Ileze
kiah was going to get well and he got
well So I have to tell all you who are
by the grace of God having your day
turned from decline toward night to
ascend toward morning that you are
going to , get well, well of nil your
sorrows, well of all your earthly dis
tress. Sunrise!
But, says someone, all that you say
may be true, but tint does not hinder
the horrors of dissolution. Why you
who are the Lord's are not golpn todj$.
Al! that the grave gets of you as com
pared with your chief, your immortal
nature, is as ihe ci;i;iiigj of your
linger nails as compared with your
whole body. As you -un the scissors
along the edge of your thumb nail and
you cut off that which is of no use but
rather a hindrance, you do not mourn
over the departure of that fragment
which Hies away. Death will only be
scissoring off that which could beo!
no use and the soul has to funeral
over that which would be aa awful
nuisance if we could not get rid of it.
Tthisb dyKs it now is what a failure
it would make of heaven if our de
parting soul had to be burdened with
it in the next world. No; no; one ol
the best possible things that will
happen to us will be the sloughing off
of this body when we have no more use
for it in its present state. AVheu it
shall come up in its resurrected form
we will be very glad to get it back
again, but not as it is now with its
limitations and bedwarfments innu
merable. Sunrise!
There shall I baths my weary feet
In seas of heavenly n-st,"
And not a wave of trouble roll
Across my peaceful breast.
Sunrise! But not like one of those
mornings after you had gone to bed
late or did not sleep well and you get
up chilled and yawning, and the
morning bath is a repuls on and you
feel like saying to the morning sun
shining into your window: "I do not
see what you find to smile about, your
brightness is to me a mockery." But
the inrush ot the next wor.d will be a
morning after a sound sleep, & sleep
that nothing can disturb, aud you will
rise, the sunshine in vour faces, and
in your first morning in heaven you
will wade down into the sea of glas
mingled with fire, the foam on fire with
a splendor you never saw on earth and
the rolling waves are doxologies and
the rocks of that shore are golden anil
the pebbles of that beach are pearl and
the skies that arch the scene are a com
mingling of all the colors that St. John
saw on the wall of heaven, the crimson
and the blue and the saffron and the
orange and the purple and the gold and
tho green wrought on those skies in
shape ot garlands of banners, of ladders
of chariots of crowns, of thones.
What a sunrise! Do you not feel its
warmth on your face? Scoville
McCullom, the dying boy of our
Sunday school, uttered what shall be
the peroration of this sermon, "Throw
back the shutters and let tho
tVnd so the shadow of Ahaz'
turns from sunset to sunrise.
