TALHAGE’S SERMON.
“BE YE ANGRY AND SIN NOT”
— EPH. IV: 26.
The Sin of Alcoholism—The Spirit of
(■ambling—Aid for the I'obrUsser—
Indignation Over Fraud— Mercj for
the Erring One.
(Copyright, 1901, by L.ouis Klopsch, N. Y.)
Washington, June 30.—A delicate
and difficult duty is by Dr. Talmage In
this discourse urged upon all. and es
pecially upon those given to quick
temper; text. Ephesians iv, 26, “Be ye
angry and sin not.”
Equipose of temper, kindness, pa
tience, forbearance, are extolled by
most of the radiant pens of inspiration,
but my text contains that which at first
sight is startling. A certain kind of
anger is approved—aye. we are com
manded to indulge in it. The most of
us have no need to cultivate high tem
per. and how often we say things and do
things under affronted impu’se which
we are sorry for when perhaps it is
too late to make effective apology!
Why, then, should the apostle Paul dip
his pen in the ink horn and trace upon
parchment, afterward to be printed
upon paper for all ages, the injunction,
"Be ye angry and sin not?”
My text commends a wholesome in
dignation. It discriminates between
the offense and the offender, the sin
and the sinner, the crime and the
criminal.
To illustrate: Alcoholism has ruined
more fortunes, blasted more homes, de- !
Btroyed more souls, than any evil that I I
think of. It pours a river of poison and j
fire through the nations. Millions have !
died because of it. and mililons are dy- :
ing now, and others will die. Intern- j
perance is an old sin. The great Cyrus, 1
writing to the Lacedcmoniaus of him- !
self, boasted of many of his qualities, j
among others, that he could drink and j
hear more wine than his distinguished j
brother. Louis X and Alexander the
Great, died drunk. The parliament of
Edinburgh in 1661 is called in history
‘‘the drunken parliament.” Hugh Mil
ler, the first stone mason and after
ward a world renowned geologist,
writes of the drinking habit3 of his
day, saying: "When the foundation |
was laid, they drank. When the walls j
were leveled for laying the joists, th^y
drank. When the buildings were fin- j
ished, they drank. When an apprentice j
joined, they drank.” In the eighteenth
century the giver of an entertainment
boasted that none of the guests went
away sober. Noah, the first ship cap
tain, was wrecked—not in the ark, for
that was safely landed—but he was
wrecked with strong drink. Every man
or woman rightly constructed will
blush with indignation at the national
and international and hemispheric and
planetary curse. It is good to be
aroused against it. You come out of
that condition a better man or a better
woman. Be ye angry at that abomina
tion, and the more anger the more ex
altation to character. But that aroused
feeling becomes sinful whpn it extends
to the victim of this great evil. Drunk
enness you are to hate with a vivid
hatred; but the drunkard you are to
pity, to help to extricate.
I’rimtrated by Alcolio'bm.
Just take into consideration that
there are- men and women who once :
were as upright as yourself who have j
been prostrated by alcoholism. Per
haps it came of a physician's prescrip
tion for the relief of pain, a recurrence
of the pain calling for a continuance ;
of the remedy; perhaps the grandfath
er was an inebriate and the tempta
tion to inebriety, leaping over a gen
eration, has swooped on this unfortu
nate; perhaps it was under an at
tempt to drown trouble that the be
numbing and narcotic liquid was
sought after; perhaps it was a gradual
chaining of the man with the bever
age which was thought to be a ser
vant, when one day it announced it
self master. Be humble now, and admit
that there is a strong probability that
under the same circumstances you
yourself might have been captured.
The two appropriate emotions for you
to allow are indignation at the intoxi
cant which enthralled and sympathy
for tht victim. Try to get the sufferer
out of nls present environment; rec
ommend any hygienic relief that you
know of and, above all, implore the di
vine rescue for the struggle in which
so many of the noblest and grandest
have been worsted. Do not give your
self up to too many philippics about
what the man ought to have been and
ought to have done. While your cheek
flushes with wrath at the foe that has
brought ruin, let your eye be moisten
ed with tears of pity for the sufferer.
In that way you will have fulfilled the
injunction of the text, "Be ye angry
and sin not.”

In Spain a don lost in 24 hours what
equals $12,000,000. Twenty years ago
it was estimated that the average gam
bling exchange of money throughout
Christendom exceeded $123,100,000,000
a year. But statistics 20 years ago
would be tame compared with the pres
ent statistics if we could find any one
able enough at figures to tabulate
them. It is all the same spirit of gam
bling, whether the instruments aye
cards or the clicking chips or the turn
ing wheel or the bids of the Stock Ex
change, where people sell what they
never owned and fall because they
cannot get paid for it. A prominent
banker tells me that he thinks 50,000
people financially prostrated by the
recent insanities in Wall street. Here
and there a case is reported, but the
vast majority suffer in silence. The
children are brought home from school
the wardrobe be denied replenishment,
the table will have scant supply, wild
generosity will be turned into grim
want. Forty years from now will be
! felt the disaster of last month's black
Thursday.
Can you hear the story of the unprin
cipled manipulators of stocks and of
the devices of the gambling saloon to
entrap the verdant and unsuspicious
without having your pulses tingle, and
your heart thump, and your entire na
ture shocked with the villainy? If so,
you are not much of a man or much of
a woman. You ought to be angry, for
there Is no sin in such vehement dis
like. You ought to be so angry that you
could not repress your feelings in the
presence of young men who are just
forming their life theories. In every
possible way you ought to denounce
such stupendous robbery. I-et it be
known that the only successful game
In which a man plays for money is
the one which a man loses all and
stops.
Incllcnmtto'i Over Fran«1.
There is another sin that we are of
tentimes called to be angry with, and
that is fraud. We all like honesty, and
when it is sacrificed we are vehement
in denunciation. We hope that the de
tectives will soon come upon the track
of the absconding bank official, of the
burglar who blew up the safe, of the
clerk who skillfully changed the figures
in the account bcok, of the falsifier who
secured the loan on valueless property,
of the agent who because of his per
centage wrongfully admits a man to
the benefit of a life insurance policy
when his heart is ready to stop and
who comes from an ancestry char
acteristically short lived.
One act of fraud told of in big head
lines in the morning papers rightfully
arouses the nation's wrath. It is the
interest of every good man and good
woman who reads of the crime to have
it exposed and punished. Let it go
unscathed, and you put a premium on
fraud, you depress public morals, you
induce those who are on the fence be
tween right and wrong to get down on
the wrong side, and you put the busi
ness of the world on a down grade. The
constabulary and penitentiary must do
their work. But while the merciless
and the godless cry; “Good for him! I
am glad he is within prison doors!”!
be it your work to find out if the man '
is woith saving and what were the ;
causes of his moral overthrow. Per
haps he started in business life under j
a tricky firm, who gave him wrong no- j
tions of business integrity; perhaps j
there was a combination of circum- ;
stances almost unparalleled for temp
tation; perhaps there were allevia
tions; perhaps he was born wrong and !
never got over it; perhaps he did not
realize what lie was doing, and if you |
are a merciful man you will think of i
other perhaps which, though they
may not excuse, will extenuate. Per
haps he has already repented and is
washed in the blood of the Lamb and
is as sure of heaven as you are. What
an opportunity you have now for obey
ing my text. You were angry at the
misdemeanor, but you are hopeful for j
the recovery of the recalcitrant. |
Blessed all prison reformers! Blessed
are those governors and presidents who
are glad when they have a chance to
pardon! Blessed the forgiving father
who welcomes home the prodigal.
Blessed the dying thief whom the Lord
took with him to glory, saying. "This
day shalt thou be with me in para
dise!”
Help for the I'nlit llrrer.
Have a lightning in your eye and a
flush in your cheek and a frown on
your brow for a dastardy that would
blot out the sun and moon and stars of
Christianity and leave all things in an
arctic night, the cold equal to the
darkness. You do well to be angry, but
how about those who have been flung
of scepticism, and that is more mil
lions than you will ever know of until
the judgment day reveals everything.
Ah. here comes your opportunity for
gentleness, kindness, and sympathy.
The probability is that if you
had been plied with tha same in
fluence as this unbeliever there I
would not be a Bible in all your
house from cellar to attic. Per
all your house from cellar to attic. Per
haps he was in some important trans
action swindled by a member of the
church whose taking of the sacrament
was a sacrilege. Perhaps he read agnos- J
tic books and heard agnostic lectures
and mingled in agnostic circles until j
he has been befogged and needs your
Christian help more than any one that
you kno • of. Do not get into any labor
ed argument about the truth of Chris
tianity. He may beat you at that. He
has a whole artillery of weapons ready
to open fire.
Remember that no one was ever re
formed for this life or saved for the life
to come by an argument, but in hum
blest and gentlest way, your voice sub
dued. ask him a few questions. Ask
him if he had a Christian parentage,
and if he says yes ask him whether
the old folks died happy. Ask him if he
has ever heard of any one going out
of this life in raptures of infidelity
and agnosticism. Ask him if It is not
a somewhat remarkable fact that the
j Bible, after so many yeais, sticks to
gether and that there are more
copies of it in existence than
ever before. Ask him if he
j knows of any hotter civilization
i than <§ ristian civilization and whether
: he thinks the teachings of Confucius
I or Christ are preferable. Ask him if he
| tninks it would be a fair thing in the
! Creator of all things to put in this
| world the human rate and give them
j no direct communication for their
! guidance and, if they did wrong, tell
them of no way of recovery, I think if a
famous infidel of our time, instead of
being taken away instantaneously, had
died in his bed after weeks and months
of illness he would have revoked his
teachings and left for his beloved fam
j i!y consolations which irzy could not
! find in obsequies at which not one
word of Holy Scripture was read, or at
Fresh Pond crematory, where no Chris
tian benediction was pronounced. I
! do not positively say that In a pro
longed illness there would have been
a retraction, but 1 think there would.
The Work of an Instant.
A man thoroughly mad can say
enough lu two minutes to damage him
for 20 years. It took only five minutes
for the earthcpiake to destroy Caracas.
One unfortunate sentence uttered in
affront in a speech in the United States
senate shut forever the door of the
White House against one of the most
brilliant men of the last century. You
can never trust a horse that has once
run away, and you do not feel like
trusting a man who has just once lost
his equilibrium. You need to drive
your temper as a man drives a frac
tious span amid the explosions of a
Fourth of July morning or the pyro
technics of the Fourth of July night,
with curbed bit, taut rein, commanding
voice—mastering yourself and master
ing what you drive. If you are natur
ally high tempered, do not unnecessar
ily go among irritations and provoca
tions. Do not build a blast furnace
next to a gunpowder mill. Then, also,
such demonstrations of ungovernabil
ity belittle one. Men take out their
lead pencils and in estimating such a
one take 50 per cent off. About the
most hideous spectacle on earth is an
angry man or woman burning not with
anger commanded in my text, but with
the sin represented. After such a dis
play of gall, irrascibility, virulence, his
Influence with many is forever gone.
The world is full of politicians, doctors,
lawyers, merchants, mechanics, min
isters, housewives, wrho have by such
explosions been blown to pieces.
I say to all young men hoping to
achieve financial, moral or religious
success—control your tempers. Do not
let criticism or defeat rebuff you. Verdi,
the great musician, applied to become
a student in the Conservatory of Music
at Milan and he was rejected by the di
rector, who said that he could make
nothing of the newcomer, as he showed
no disposition for music. But the crit
icism did not exasperate or defeat him.
The most of those who have largely
succeeded in all departments were
characterised by self control. In battle
they would calmly look at the bomb
thrown at their feet,wondering whether
it would explode. In commercial life,
when panics smote the city, these men
were placid, while others were yelling
themselves hoarse at the Stock Ex
change. While others nearly swooned
because a certain stock had gone 100
points clown they calmly waited until
it would get 100 points up. While the
opposing attorney in the courtroom
frothed at the mouth with rage because
of something said on the other side, he
of the equipoise put a glass of water to
his lips in refreshment and proceeded
with the remark, "As I was saying
when the gentleman interrupted me."
Self rontrol! What a glorious thing!
We want it in the doctor feeling the
pulse of one desperately ill, we want
it in the engineer when the head
light of another train comes round the
curve on the same track. We want it
in Christian men and women in times
when so much in church and state
seem going to demolition—self control!
What are you going to be good for^ 0
man or woman in a world like this,
ever and anon your dander up, and so
often in the sulks? We admit tnat you
have many things to stir your blood
and fill you with wholesome indigna
tion, but going to such extremes you
offend my text, which says you must
discriminate and not lose your self
control, "Be ye angry and sin not."
Mi*r«y for thr winner.
Surpassing ail other characters in
the world’s biography stands Jesus
Christ, wrathful against sin, merciful
to the sinner. Witness his behavior to
ward the robed ruffians who demanded
capital punishment for an offending
woman—denunciation for their sinful
hypocrisy, pardon for her sweet peni
tence. He did not speak of Herod as
"his majesty’ or "his royal highness,"
but dared to compare him to a
cunning fox, saying "Go ye and tell
that fox," But, alert to the cry of suf
fering, he finds ten lepers, and to how
many of the ten awful invalids did ho
give convalescence and health? Ten.
Rebuking Pharisiaism in the most
compressed sentence In all the vocab
ulary of anathema—"Ye serpents, ye
generation of vipers, how can ye escape
the damnation of hell?”—yet looking
upon Peter with such tenderness that
no word was spoken and not a word
was needed, for the look spoke louder
than words. "And the I^ord looked up
on Peter, and Peter went out and wept
bitterly." Oh, what a look it must have
been to break down the swarthy fish
erman apostle! It was such a hurt look,
such a beseeching look, such a loving
look, such a forgiving look! Was there
in any other being since time began
such a combination of wrath against
wrong and compassion for the wrong
doer? "Lion of Judah’s tribe!” Hear
that! "Lamb of God who taketh away
the sins of the world!” Hear that!
Former Ladf of White Home.
Miss Letitia Semple, daughter of
President Tyler, and so a former mis
tress of the white house, is living in
Washington and was present at the
reception given to Mrs. Daniel Mann

has for years been an inmate of the
Iconise home, established by Banker
Corcoran In memory of his wife and

Many old houses in Holland have a
special door which is never opened
save on two occasions, when there is
a marriage or a death in the family.
The bride and groom enter by this

tion has tarly traditions of a golden age,
Edenic blessedness and Innocence, of tile
sirpent. the tree, and degeneracy. There
are Chinese, Thibetan, Mongolian, and
Hindu traditions, tho Zoroastrlan story
of Mashya and Meshyana. the Egyptian
tradition of the reign of Ha, the Greek

tions must have come from some com
mon source before the dispersion of men,
and point to some actual fact in the early
history cf the taee.
T'Vo opposite errors are frequently held
In regard to the Hible account of tho
firs’ man. One, that he was a typical
sav’-ige, a cave-dweller, lower than tho
iul ftbltants of darkest Africa, "entertain
ing the most gross and anthropomorphic
conceptions of deity." The savage is tho
dt generate of sinful man. The other,
that "lie was the most splendid specimen
of the race the world ever saw, fair as

Aristotle was but the rubbish of an Adam,
and Athens hut the ruiliments of para

do not prove that tho tirst man was a
savage at heart. Plato and Socrates and

1. The trie of life in the midst of the

divine endowment with medicinal quali

dental Injuries. Spenser says that
"I- r ni it now< d, nr. from a well, a trick
ling stream of balm;
Life and long health that gracious oint
trunt gave, and deadly wounds

It thus b comes a symbol of the tree
of Immortal life In Revelation, with

for the healing of the nations; u symbol
of the hoalin; power of Christ, and of
the Gospel of the kingdom of God.
The tr< of the knowledge of good and
evil v.as In the midst of the garden. It
was not to prevent them from knowing
good and evil. Its purpose was to teach
them that knowledge. It was not there
to make thorn fall into sin, but to train
them in virtue by resisting temptation.
It was necessary that there should be
something forbidden that seemed desir
able. There was no other way of open
ing the door to man's highest possibili
ties. bis fullest development.
II. The Battle with Temptation—Vs.
1-5. Satan used the most fitting instru
ment for his purpose,—the erafty, sub
tile. cunning, beautiful, fascinating,
graceful serpent with fangs of deadly
poison. It was a real serpent, used as a
tool by "that old serpent called the Devil,
and Satan, which deceiveth the whole
world” (Rev. 12: 9). because it was the
most fitting instrument for his purpose.
This Is plain from the fact that the New
Testament continually implies it. "The
temptation of Jesus makes it quite cer
tain that the serpent and Satan are In
some way Identical" iJohn 8: 41; 2 Cor.
11: H [comp. 141: Rom. lti: 20; Rev. 12: 9;
20: 2). -Delltzsch. And from the fact that
the literal serpent has none of the in
tellect and moral perverseness which Is
shown in the narrative.
III. The Great Defeat and Its Conse
quences. Vs b-15. Observe the threefold
nature of this temptation. 6. "Saw that
the trie was good." So It appeared. So
Satan had said. He had thrown an au
reole of glory around the promised de
lights. The temptation shone In a bor
rowed light. So ever Satan presents the
attractions of evil. "Good for food."
Ttmptlng the senses,—"the lust of the
fU-Mi.” "Pleasant (a delight) to the eyes."
Appealing to the higher sense of beauty,
—"the lust of the eye." "To be desired
to make one wise." Some unknown glor
h us good that would life ht r into a liigh
ir position like that of God,—"the pride
id lift" tl John 2: 16). "The confluence of
all these streams made such a current as
swept the feeble will clean away; and
blind, dazed, deafened by the rush of the
stream. Eve was carried over the falls
as a man might be over Niagara. —
Maelaren "Sin took of the fruit there
of." She yielded to the temptation and
fell. “And gave also unto her husband
. . . and he did eat.” He believed
Satan all the more easily because the
threatened di ath did not seem to fall
upon Eve. According to Paul, Adam was
not deceived tl Tim. 2: Mi. He disobeyed
God with open eyes. According to Mil
ton's fanciful theory, he partook of the
ft ult from love to Eve, and desire to per
ish with her.—Paradise Lost. Book IX.
IV. Hope, Victory, after a Long Con
flict. Paradise to Be Regained.—V. 15. "It
slut)I bruise thy head," etc. The word
may mean bruise, or lie in wait for, for
the sake of destroying With the first
definition "the metaphor is drawn from
a man crushing a serpent with his foot,
and a serpent fastening his teeth in a
man's heel. The other rendering intro
duces the Idea of a carefully planned am
bush.” The Vulgate combines the alter
native renderings, "It shall bruise thy
head, and thou shalt lie in wait for his
heel." There shall he a conflict. The
serpent shall injure man, but man will
destroy the serpent. The Hnal victory will
be with man. "Thy seed." A general
word for her descendants, but among
those descendants was to be the Mes
siah. Man as a race, by means of Its
Messiah, shall gain the victory. There
shall rome a new Adam In a new para
dise from which should be no fall.
Though man’s heel should he w'ounded,
the race sufTer many losses, It would not
he destruction, but Anally the good
should triumph over evil. The fall was
not "a fall upward,” but when man fell.
God started him again In an upward
cc urse.

Row Metal* "ftel."
Can metals feel? Recently at the
Royal Institution, Professor Jagadls
Chunder Hose proved that they can,
in much the same way as animate be
ings. He struck a piece of copper,
pinched a piece of zinc, gave it poison
and administered an antidote, and
threw light upon an artificial retina.
In each case the electrical emotion, as
registered by the galvanometer, was
painful to witness. As the Ixindon
Mail suggests in telling the story,
there is an opening for a society for
the prevention of cruelty to metals.
