TALMAGE’S SERMON. THE WRESTLERS THE SUBJECT SUNDAY. “ W«* WrfHlt Not Agelost Flesh sn<l lllontl Ixit Agaluit I’rlnrlimlltle*. Against rowers, Against the Holers of Itarknaas.” Squenmlshness and fastidiousness were never charged against Paul’s rhetoric. In the war ugalnst evil he took the first weapon he could lay his hand on. For Illustration, he em ployed the theater, the arena, the foot race, and there was nothing In the Iathinlun game, with Ita wreath of pine leaves; or Pythian game, with Ita wreath of laurel and palm; or Nemean game, with ita wreath of parsley; or any Homan clri ua, hut he felt he had u right to put it In aermon or aptotic, and are you not aurpriaed that In my text he calls upon a wrestling bout for suggest |veneasT Plutarch says that wrestling la the moat artistic and cunning of athletic games. We inuat make a wide difference between pugil ism, the lowest of spectacles, and wrestling, which Is un effort In sport to put down another on floor or ground, and we, all of us. Indulged In It In our boyhood days, If we were health ful and plucky. Tho ancient wrestlers were first bathed In oil, uud then sprinkled with sand. The third throw decided the victory, and many a man who went down In the first throw or aecnnd throw, In the third throw was on top, and his opponent under. The Homans did not like this game very ranch, for It wna not savage enough, no blows or kicks being allowed In the game. They preferred the foot of hungry panther ou the breast of fallen martyr. In wrestling, tho opponents would bow In apparent suavity, advance faee ito face, put down both feet solidly, take each other by the arms, and push each other backward and forward un til the work began In real earnest, and there were contortions and strangula tions and violent strokes of the foot of one contestant agalrot the foot of the other, tripping him up, or with at niggle that threatened apoplexy or death, the defeited fell, and the shout* of the spectators greeted the victor. I guess Paul had aeen some such con test. and It reminded him of the strug gle of the soul with temptation, und -bn ntruggie of truth with error, and the struggle of heavenly forces against apollyonlc powers and he dictates my text to an amanuensis, for all his let ters, save the one to Philemon, seem to have been dictated, and as the amanuensis goes on with his work I hear the groan and laugh and shout of earthly and celestial belligerents: “We wrestle not against flesh and blood. but ugalust principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darknrns of this world, against spiritual wickedness In high places." I notice that ns these wrestlers ad vanced to throw each other they bowed one to the other. It was a civility, not only In (Irecisn and Roman games, but In later day. In all the wrestling bouts nt Clerkenwell, Bngland, and In the fa moua wrestling match during the reign of Henry III.. In St. fllles’ Field, be tween men of Westminster and people of London. However rough a twist and hard a pull each wrcntler contem plated giving his opponent, they ap proached each other with politeness and suavity. The genuflexions, the nf fablllty, the courtesy In no wise hin dered the decisiveness of (be contest. Well, Paul, I see what you mean. In this awful struggle between right and wrong, we must not forget to be gen tlemon and ladle*. we are in tno strength of God to throw flat on its back every abomina tion that curses the earth, but let us approach our mighty antagonist with suavity. Hercules, sou of Jupiter ani Alemene, will by a precursor of smiles be helped rather than damaged for the performance of his “twelve labors." Let us be us wisely strategic In rell Klousclrclesasattorneysln court-rooms, who ore complimentary to each other In the opening remarks, before they come Into legal struggle such as that which left Itufus Choate or David Paul Drown triumphant or defeated. Peo ple who get Into a rage In reforma tory work accomplish nothing but tho depletion of their own nervous system. There Is such a thing as having a gun so hot at the touch-hole that It ex plodes, killing the one that sets It off. There are some reformatory meetings lo which I always decline to go and take part, because they are apt to be come demonstrations of bail temper. | never like to hear a tuau swear, even though he swear on the right side. The very Paul who In my text em ployed In Illustration the wrestllua match, behaved on a memorable oeva stun aa we ought to behave. The translators of the lllble made an unin tentional mistake when they repre sented Paul aa Insulting (he people of Athena by speaking of "the unknown god whom ye Ignorantly worship" Instead of char tiling them with Ig nor a me the original ladlcaDa he cum pltmeated them by suggesting that they were very religious, but u« they confessed that there were ssttne thins* they dl l not undeiei.it t ,,t„. prgpniTt lo any some II lag IDm. beginning where they had left off The eame Paul ‘tho aa<4 In one pine*.

Remember also that theme wrestlers went through severe and continuous course of preparation for their work. They were put tipou such diet as would best develop their muscle. As Paul says, "Every man that strlveth for the mastery Is temperate In all things." The wrestlers were put under complete dlsclpllna bathing, gymnastics, strug gle In sport with each other to de velop strength and give quickness to dodge of head and trip of foot; stoop ing to lift each other ofT the ground; suddenly rushing forward; suddenly pulling backward; putting the left foot behind the other's right foot, and get ting h!s opponent off his balance; hard training for days and weeks and months, so that when they met It was giant clutching giant. And, my friends. If wo do not want ourselves to be thrown In this wrestle with the sin and error of the world, we had better get ready by Christian discipline, by holy self-denial, by constant practice, by submitting to divine supervlsal and direction. Do not begrude the time and the money for that young man who Is In preparation for the ministry, spending two yeats In grammar school, and four years In college, and three years In theological seminary. I know that nine years are a big slice (o take off of a man’s active life, but If you realized the height and strength of the archangels of evil In our time with which that young man is going to wrestle, you would not think nine years of preparation were too much. An uneducated ministry v.as excusable In other days, but not In this time, loaded with schools and colleges. A man who wroto me the other day a letter nsklng advice, as ho felt called to preach the Gospel, began the word "God" with u small "g." That kind of a man Is not called to preach the Gos pel. Illiterate men, preaching the Gospel, quoto for their own encourage men the scriptural passage, "Open thy mouth wide and I fill It.” Yes! He will fill It with wind. Preparation for this wrestling Is absolutely necessary. Many years ago Doctor Newman and Doctor Sundtrland, on the platform of Brigham Young'* tabernacle at Salt I,akn City, Utah, gained the vic tory because they had so long been skillful wrestlers for God. Otherwise Brigham Young, who was hlmselr a giant In some things, would have thrown them out of the window. Get ready In Bible classes. Get ready In Christian Endeavor meetings. Get ready by giving testimony In obscure places, before giving testimony In con spicuous places. Your going around with a Bagster's Bible with flaps at the edges, under your arm, does not qualify you for the work of an evangelist. In this day of profuse gab, remember that It Is not merely capacity to talk, but tlie fact that you have something to siy. that Is going to lit you for the struggle into which you are to go with a smile on your face and illumination on your brow, but out of which you will not coine until all your physical and men tal and moral and religious energies have been taxed to the utmost and you have not a nerve left, or a thought un expended. or a prayer unsaid, or a sympathy unwept. In this struggle between Right and Wrong accept no challenge on platform or In newspaper unless you are prepared. Do not mis apply the story of Goliath the Great, and David the Little. David had been practising with a sling on dogs and wolves and bandits, and a thousand time# had he swirled a stone around hla head before he aimed at the fore head of the giant and tumbled him hackwnrd, otherwise the big foot of Goliath would almcat have covered up the crushed form of the son of Jesse. * * Notice also that in this science of wrestling, to which Paul refers In my text. It was the third throw that de cided the contest. A wrestler might be thrown once and thrown twice, but the third time ho might recover him self, and, by an unexpected twist of arm or curvo of foot, gain the day. Well, that Is broad, amlllng, unmistak able Gospel. Some whom I address through ear or eye, by voice or print ed page, have been thrown In their wrestle with evil habit. Aye! you have been thrown twice; hut that does not mean, oh! worsted soul, that you are thrown forever. I hnve no authority for saying how many times a man may sin and he for given. or how many times he may fall aud yet rise again; but I have author ity for saying that ho may fall four hundred and ninety times, and four hundred and nluety times get up. The Iltble declares that God will forgive seventy ttmie seven, and If yon will employ the rule of multiplication you will find that seventy times seven Is four hundred and ninety.

Ms money gone and not able to hear hie pert nf the atpeaae, he le «radu ally shoved out and Ignored and push ed away. Now, what a dilapidated home Is his! A dissipated life always shows itself In faded window curtains, and Impoverished wardrobe, and de jected surroundings, and in broken palings of the garden fence, and the unhinged gate, and the dislocated door bell, and the disappearance of wife and children from scenes among which they shone the brightest, and laughed the glnddest. if any man was ever down, that husband and father is down. The fact is, he got into a wrestle with Evil that pushed and pulled and contorted and exhausted him worse than any Olympian game ever treated a Grecian, and he was thrown. Thrown out of prosperity In to gloom. Thrown out of good asso ciation Into bad. Thrown out of health Into Invalidism. Thrown out of happiness Into misery. But one day, while slinking through one of the back streets, not wishing to be recog nized. a good thought crosses his mind, for he has hea;d of men flung flat ris ing again. Arriving at bis house, he calls his wife in and shuts the door and says: "Mary, I am going to do differently. This Is not what I prom ised you when we were married. You have been very patient with me, and have borne everything, although i would have had no right to complain If you had left me and gone home to your father's house. It seems to roe that once or twice, when I was not myself, I struck you, and several times, I know, 1 called you hard names. Now I want you to forgive me." "Help you?" she says; “bless your soul! of course I will help you. 1 knew you didn't mean It when you treated me roughly. All that Is In the past. Never refer to It again. Today let us begin anew." Sympathizing friends come around and kind business people help the man to something to do, so that he can again earn a living. The children soon have clothing so that they can go to school. The old songs which the wife sang years ago comu back to her memory, and she sings them over again at the cradle, or while preparing the noon-day meal. Domes tic resurrection! He comes homo earlier than he used to, and he Is glad to spenu tno evening playing games with the children or helping them with arithmetic or grammar lessons which are a little too hard. Time pasees on, and some outsider suggests to him that he is not getting as much out of life as he ought, aud proposes an occa sional visit to scenes of worldliness and dissipation. He consents to go once, and, after much solicitation, twice. Then his old habit comes hack. He says he has been belated, and could not get back until midnight. He bad to see some Western merchant that had arrived and talk of business with him before he got out of town. Kind ness and geniality again quit the dis position of that husband and father. The wlfo'fl heart breaks in a new place. That man goes into a second wrestle with evil habit and Is flung, and all hell cackles at the moral defeat. ‘‘1 told you so!" gay many people who have no faith In the reformation of a fallen man. "I told you so! You made a great fuss about his restored home, but ! knew It would not last. You can’t trust these fellows who have once gone wrong.” So with this un fortunate, things get woroe and worse, and his family have to glvo up the house, and the last valuable goes to the pawnbroker’s shop. But that un fortunate man Is sauntering along the street one Sunday night, and he goes up to a church door, and the congre gation are singing the second hymn, the one Just before sermon, and It 1* William Cowper’s glorious hymn — There la a fountain filled with blool Drawn from Emanuel’s veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood Lose all their guilty stains. ODD RESULTS OF THE WAR. Money Ilelt* Have Heon In Orntltr I»e lunml Than for Many Year*. In the past six months there has been a greater demand for money belts than lias existed before lu the memory of any local dealer In that unpreten tious but useful article. The unusual Inquiry has In groat part come from one or other of the new possessions which “manifest destiny" has thrust Into United States domain. It Is true that the summer U always the best season for such things, because of the great amount of vacation travel, but this year the number made and dis posed of haa been larger than usual. One Philadelphia Arm, which has agents In thU city, has filled several government orders for money-belts, to tie used by officers of the army. These belts were of the same pattern that is commonly see n flat pockets about two feet long and three and a half or four Inches wide, divided Into several compartments for the different site* of the money. The flaps of these com partments button down securely over i them, and when the belt la fastened around the waist, hv means of stout ■ tapes attached to the ends of It for ! that purpose, there I* no possibility of having Its contents drop out.

"Thus salth the Lord." Jehovah. "I have heard.” As God always hears the pray ers of his people. He would have them understand deliverance was from him. 2L "The virgin the daughter of Zion." Zion, the citadel of Jerusalem, stands for the city, like a htuutlful virgin "un vlolated by a conqueror." "Hath de spised thee," Assyria, "and laughed thee to scorn." Sho defies you, and mocks at all your threats, because she Is safe, not In her own strength, but In thut of the Almighty God, her protector. The Assyrians were warring not merely against men and rocky fortresses, but against the Invisible principalities and powers of the universe. 22. "Kvcn against the Holy One of Israel." Whom they had “reproached and blasphemed" by comparing him with Idols, and declaring lie could not resist their power. 26. "X will put my hook In thy nose." As was done with wild bulls to lead them, and as the Assyrians are repre sented on their tablets as doing with (heir captives. "And my bridle." Guiding the Assyrian power where he will, as a bridle guides a horse. "1 will turn thee back." To Assyria. If we turn to Isa. 10, we shall see the truth, of which this verse Is an expres sion, stated still more clearly. The As syrians Imagined that they were doing only their own will, und could do what they pleased. Hut Jehovah declared that Assyria was but a rod In his hand for the punishment of sin, "though he mean eth not so, neither doth his heart think so," hut when the "rod” had done Its work, then Jehovah said to him, as to the sea. In Job, "Hitherto shall thou cotne, hut no further; and here shall thy proud waves he stayed.” The Sign. 29. "And this shall be a sign unto thee.” "A sign Is a thing, or an event, or an action Intended as a pledge of the divine certainty of another.”— Delltxsoh. This sign was given to Hexe klah. "Such things as grow of them selves." "For two years the regular operations of agriculture shall he sus pended, by the occupation of the As syrians, but the third year everything would go on as usual. The Assyrians prevented agriculture, and It was too late In the season to plant for a good harvest the following year. "Wetzsteln states that at the present day, unless the ground has been several limes broken up In thn previous summer, the seed will bo lost In the ground."—Rev. Ur. F. Skinner, In Cambridge Illble. 20. "Tho remnant that Is escaped." The Assyrians had already destroyed a large part of Judah and carried away two hundred thousand of the people, ac cording to Sennacherib’s account. Yet God would not permit the nation to bo destroyed, but this remnant, like the stump of u tree cut off, should "again take root downward, and bear fruit." On "The Remnant,” see l.esson Iv. and v. There Is ever u near fulfillment, and a more distant one In the horizon of the future. 82. "The King of Assyria. He shall rot come Into this city.” The promise was clear, direct, positive, and It was fulfilled. 34. "For my servant David's sake." Not because the people deserved It. hut because of the kingdom of God promised to come through Oavid. That kingdom must not perish, for In It lay the hope of the world, und God s plans for re deeming men. 35. "That night." The promise was Im mediately fulfilled. "The angel of the Lord went out." The use of the word "angel" here does not determine the man ner In which the destruction was accom plished. It may have been a storm, a ;ie?tlleiiee. or Hood. "Thus In Psa. 104: 4. the winds are said to be his ungels, or messengers, and the naming fire his min isters."—Barnes. "It Is generally under stood to have been the simoon. Cam hypes, king of the Meiles. lost fifty thou sand men by one of those dreadful winds. But whether the wind was the messenger or an angel. It matters not."—T. Champ ness, New Coins from Old Gold. "The destruction Of the great host in the Phil istine plains appears to have been from a sudden outbreak of pestilence. This Is the Jewish tradition, and pestilence Is said in the Bible to be the work of an angel (2 Sam. 24: 16, 17)."—Gelkle. "In the tamp of the Assyrians.” Where the camp was Is not stated, but the main body of the army were last reported at l.ibnah (Isa. 27: 6). not far from I,achish, hut nearer to Jerusalem. This great destruction must have been of the main army, and not of a detachment sent to Jerusalem with the llubshakeh, though tin se may have been Included In the number slain. "A hundred fourscore and five thousand." Giving some Idea of the Immense size of Sennacherib's army. "And when they arose." Sennacherib and the survivors. 86.

Hut Ha Surprlzrd by tba Odd Effect Of Ilia Capitalization. "When I was a youngster, say of II.” remarked the veteran Journalist of a western city, “I was the editor of a country paper In a town of about 5,000 people, and having lived for a year In New York, I had an Idea that I was really the only person In town who knew anything. I had a pretty hard time making things come my way, but youth and enterprise are hard to down, and I kept at It, There was one firm In town, Smith Bros., which was the strongest and most conserva tive there, and I knew an advertise ment from them would be the making of me; but they were very slow In letting me have It, However, I persist ed, until at last I had It In my clutches, and I grasped It as a drowning man grasps at a life preserver. The senior partner, who was a most austere and particular old chap, and a deacon Into the bargain, was anxious to Impress me with the fact that they wore doing a great deal for me, and I must return value received. All of which I agreed to do; and then the old gentleman sur prised me by telling me he would give me the ropy and leave It to my new fangled notions, as he called them,to make up tho the ad. that would khow the Smith Bros, to be us progressive as any other merchants In town and quite as ready to meet the modern Ideas. Well, this was more than I could have asked for If they had beg ged me to do so, and 1 went out of the place almost shouting. When I reach ed my office I read the copy over again to find its strong points of display. It ?:as as follows, for I can never for get It: 'Smith Bros., the well-known dealers In groceries, are pleased to make the announcement that they aro In receipt of the biggest stock of can ned goods ever seen here, and they will be sold at prices hitherto unknown. Some advertisers may he liars, but Smith Bros, are happy In knowing that they have a reputation for veracity which Is worth more to them than gold.’ That was good, plain stuff, with not much of a margin visible for the play of my versatile fancy, but I was expected to do something that would attract attention, for the old gentleman had been especially strong on that point. He was tired of tne plainly severe, he said, and wanted J something that would not fail to stir j things up. I sat up more than half the night with that copy, and when morning came I had in all In shape to fill a column, the amount of space he wanted It to occupy. He told me, when he gave me the copy, that If he didn’t get around to see the proof, Just to let It go and take the chances, which 1 did when he didn't appear, and when the paper came out, there, In the biggest and blankest letters I could set up, was the advertisement for a full column on the first page: SMITH BROTHERS, the well-known dealers In groceries, ARE pleased to make THE announcement that they are In receipt of the BIGGEST stock of canned goods ever seen here, and at prices hitherto unknown. Some advertisers may be LIARS but Smith Brothers are happy IN knowing that they have a reputation in this TOWN for veracity which is worth more to them than gold. ‘’Well, when the Smith Brothers saw that ad. fairly shouting to them and at them, and about them, they were only restrained by their religion from shooting me on the spot. How ever, they sued nte, in spite of all my defense of the attractive qualities of the display, and 1 would have gone to the wall for my genius and Napoleonic brilliancy had it not been for the fact that before the time of hearing the suit the ad. had actually given the Smith Brothers a boom that almost frightened them by Its tremendous popularity, and though they never re peated the ad., and always made me submit matter before it was printed,we became great friends, and each of ur did much for the other In financial an<f other ways.”—Washington Stur, Japtnm Notion* for America.
