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,

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

take part, because they are apt to be

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"

struggle which will leave all perdition
under and all heaven on top.
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. Hleesed be
God for such a Gospel of high hope
snd thrilling encouragement and inag

Ms money gone and not able to hear

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*

ODD RESULTS OF THE WAR.

In the past six months there has
been a greater demand for money belts

one or other of the new possessions

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

two feet long and three and a half or
four Inches wide, divided Into several
compartments for the different site* of

beginning of the kingdom, and 110-130 be
fore the exile,—a period of reformation.
20, “Then Isaiah." (Hro Lesson Iv.)
"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

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

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

body of the army were last reported at

A GENIUS IN ADVERTISING.
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

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
