The plan for a penal colony for an

Senator Vest, seems to meet the an

besides there is a poetical side to the
idea of letting the anarchists work

fertile island, capable of yielding its
inhabitants a bountiful living wKh an
average amount of labor, should be
chosen, and the anarchists should be
deported there and left to themselves
and their theories. In order that no
doubts might be raised as to their
having a fair show, the government
might support them for a year or two
and supply them with all the imple
ments of industry and the comforts of
a high civilization. After such a pe
riod, let them work out their own des
tiny, the government only taking care
that no one should escape from the
island. It is a safe conjecture that un
der such conditions the anarchists
would have their theories changed by
close experience with practical affairs;
they would come to learn respect for
government and to know that a gov
ernment by a majority is much prefer
able to a government by any one pos

TALMAGES SERMON.
THE BLESSINGS OF HUMILITY SHOWN
IN THIS DISCOURSE.
In Eloquent Word* I* Told How
Throughout the Agee Arregwnre Hue
Been Rebuked — Evening of Life
Brightened by the Love of tlod.
(Copyright, 1901, by Louts Klopsch, N. Y.)
Washington, Dec. 29.—While this
discourse of Dr. Talmage rebukes ar
rogance, it encourages humanity and
6hows how the evening of life may be
brightened. The text is I Kings xx,
11, "Let not him that girdeth on his
harness boast himself as he that put
teth it off."
The text makes a comparison be
tween a man enlisting for some war
and a veteran returning, the one put
ting on the armor and the other put
ting it ofT.
Benhadad, the king of Syria, thought
he could easily overcome the king of
Israel. Indeed, the Syrian was so sure
of the victory that he spread an ante
bellum banquet. There were in all
thirty-three kings at the carousal, and
their condition iB described in the
Bible not as convivial or stimulated
exaltation, but drunk. Benhadad sends
officers over to the king of Israel de
manding the surrender of the city, say
ing, "Thou shalt deliver me thy sil
ver and thy gold and thy wives and
thy children,” and afterward sends
other officers, saying that the palace
of the king will be searched and ev
erything Benhadad wants he will take
without asking. Then the king of Is
rael called a council of war, and word
is sent back to Benhadad that his un
reasonable demand will be resisted.
Then Benhadad sends another message
to the king of Israel, a message full
of arrogance and bravado. Then the
king of Israel replied to Benhadad,
practically saying: "Let me see you
do what you say. You huzza too soon.
‘Let not him that girdeth on his har
ness boast himself as he that putteth it
off.”’
An avalanche or courage ana rignt
eousness, the Israelitish army came
down on Benhadad and his host. It
was a hand to hand fight, each Israel
ite hewing down a Syrian. Benhadad,
on horseback, gets away with some of
the cavalry, but is only saved for a
worse defeat, in which 100,000 Syrian
infantry were slaughtered in one day.
Now we see the sarcasm and the epi
grammatic power of the message of
my text sent by the king of Israel to
Benhadad, "Let not him that girdeth
on his harness boast himself as he that
putteth it off.”
All up and down history we see such
too early boasting. It will be my ob
ject, among other lessons, to show that
he who puts off the armor, having fin
ished the battle, is more to be con
gratulated than he who begins.
First, I find encouragement in this
subject for the aged who have got
through the work and struggle of
earthly life. With more or Jess forti
tude you passed through the crises of
pain and sadness and disappointment
and fatigue and still live to recount
the divine help that sustained you. At
twenty or thirty years of your age at
the tap of the drum you put on the
harness. Now, at sixty or seventy or
eighty, you are peacefully putting it
off. You would not want to try the
battle of life over again. So let all of
the aged In peace with God, through
the blessed Christ, cultivate content
ment and thank the Lord their Sedan
has been fought and the war is over.
"Let not him that girdeth on his har
ness boast himself as he that putteth
it off."
There are old fanners who cannot do
one more day's work. What harvests
they raised In 1S70! What droughts,
what freshets, what insectile invasion,
they remember! To clothe and feed
and educate the household they went
through toils and self sacrifices that
the world knew but little about. Rest,
aged man! Let the boys do the shov
eling and thrashing and cutting and
sweating. You have put the harness
off, and do no* try to put it on again.
There are old mechanics that can no
more shove the plane or pound with
the hammer or bore with the bit or
run up the ladder to the scaffolding.
You have a right to quit. You have
finished your task. Be thankful that
your work is done.
Then there are aged physicians.
What tragedies of pain and accident
they have witnessed! How much suf
fering they have assuaged! How
many brave battles they have fought
with lancet and cataclysm! How many
fevers they cooled! How many broken
bones they set. God comfort and bless
the old doctors, allopathic, homeo
pathic, hydropathic and eclectic, and
make them willing to be out of prac
tice! Before long they will hear the
benediction of him who said, "I was
sick, and ye visited me.”
And there are the old ministers.
Once they were foremost in general as
semblies and conferences and associa
tions. Now they have stopped preach
ing, for their breath is short, or their
nerves are a-jangle, or they lose their
thread of discourse or suffer from con
fusion of ideas. Cheer up, aged dom
inies and doctors! The Bible says God
forgets our sins when we repent of
them, but he never forgets faithful ser
vices rendered. Be content to stop.
"Let not him that girdeth on his har
ness boast himself as he that putteth
it off.”
Again, I learn from Benhadad’s be
havior the unwisdom of boasting of
what one is going to do. Better not
tell boastlngly what you are going to
do. Wait until it is done. You do
well to lay out your plans, but there
are so many mistakes and disappoint
ments in life that you may not be able
to carry out your plans, and there is
no need of invoking the world’s de
rision and caricature. Napoleon was
so sure of conquering England, Scot
land end Ireland that he had a medal
struck celebrating the conquest, which
he never made. On that medal wes
represented his own crowned head.
Wilberforce did not tell what he was
going to do with the slave trade, but
how much he accomplished is suggest
ed by Ix>rd Brougham's remark con
cerning Wilberforce after his decease,
"He went to heaven with 800,000 brok
en fetters in his hand.” The only kind
of boasting that prospers was that of
Paul, who cried out, "I glory in the
cross of Christ!” and that of John
Newton, who declared, "I am not what
1 ought to be; I am not what I wish
to be; I am not what I hope to be,
but. by the grace of God, I am not
what I was.”
Do not boast of your moral strength.
Better underrate than overrate our
selves.
My subject Is a’so a refutation of the
famous sentiment that God is on the
side of the heaviest artillery. God is
not on the side of the most swords
or the most war chariots or the most
cannon if they be in the wrong, but
on the side of the right. How such a
preposterous sentiment as 1 have men
tioned should have gained sway I
know not when all history proclaims
the opposite. How insignificant were
the unarmed Israelites, half starved
and unorganised, compared with
Pharaoh's host on foot, on horseback
and charioted! But the waves of the
Red sea took part in the conflict, part
ing to let the pursued pass, but com
ing together to destroy the pursuers.
The Mldlanites and Amalekites were
like grasshoppers for multitudes, but
300 men under Gideon came down,
their ownly weapons pitchers and
lamps and trumpets, and as they held
up the lamps and threw down the
pitchers and blew the trumpets the
flash of the lights and the blare of the
instruments and the crash of the
crockery made their enemy fall back
in wild terror.
Notice also that my text takes it for
granted that you must put on the har
ness, else how can you take it off? Life
is a battle—a thirty years', a forty
years' or a sixty years' war. Every
possible effort will be made to make
you think wrong. The young man
who gets his head filled with wrong
notions about God, about Christ, about
the soul, about the great beyond, is
already captured. Think right, and
you will act right. Keep the heart
pure, and the life will be pure. Have
the heart corrupt, and your actions
will be corrupt.
Young man, see that you have on a
complete armor. All looks bright now,
and it seems as if you could march
right on without opposition or attack,
but be not deceived. There are hidden
foes ready to halt you on your way.
The same cup that Benhadad drank
out of just before his defeat will be of
fered to effect your defeat. What work
Benhadad’s cup made for Benhaha^’s
army! WThat shipwrecks on the sea,
what disasters on the land, caused by
inflaming liquids put upon the tongue
to set seething the brain! How many
kings of thought and influence, with
crownsbrighterthan the one Benhadad
wore, have by strong drink been put
into flight as base as that in which
Benhadad rode! "Give them to me,"
says the dpmon of inebriacy. "Give
;.hem to me; hand them down—the
brightest legislators of the land. I
will thicken their tongue; I will bloat
their cheeks; I will stagger their step;
1 will damn their soul. Hand them
down to me.”
We hold our breath in horror as
once in awhile we hear of someone,
either by accident or suicide, going over
Niagara Falls, but the tides, the
depths, the awful surges of intemper
ance. are every hour of every day
rushing scores of immortals down into
unfathomed abysm. Suicides by the
hundreds of thousands! Suicides by
the million! Beware of the cup out of
which Benhadad drank personal and
national demolition.
Yes, you must have full armor.
There are temptations to an impure
life all the time multiplying and in
tensifying. Read in private and dis
cussed afterward by the refined and
elegant in parlors are books poisoned
from lid to lid with impurities. Loose
characters in the novel applauded by
rhetorical pens and proprieties of life
caricatured as prudery and infidelity
of behavior put in a way to excite sym
pathy and half approval. My wonder
is not that so many go astray, but my
wonder is that ten times as many are
not debauched. There are influences
at work which, if unarrested, will turn
our cities into Sodoms and Gomorrahs
ready for the hail and fire and brim
stone of God’s indignation.
Yes, you must have full armor, for
there are all the temptations to gam
ing practices, either in gambling halls
or in the money markets, buying what
they never paid for and selling what
they can never deliver, first borrowing
what they cannot return and stealing
what they cannot borrow. All hours
of the day and all hours of the night
are vast sums of money passing fraud
ulently, for gambling in all eases Is
fraud, whether it be a twenty-five cent
prize package or a crash in Northern
Pacific, which made Lombard street
and the bourse aghast and shook the
nations with financial earthquake.
Oi». yes, you need the harness on
until God tells you to take it off. In
olden time it was leathern armor or
chain armor or ribbed armor, fash
ioned in ancient foundry, but no one
can give you the outfit you need ex
cept God, who is master of this world
I and the Infernal world, from which as
! oend the mightiest hostilities. Lay
' hold of God. Nothing but the arm ol
Omnipotence is strong enough for the
I tempted.
Young man, put on the ent're gospel
; outfit. If you have come from the
j country to live in the city, Imitate the
I example rf a young man who arrived
In New York on Saturday night, In
tending the following Monday to enter
his place of employment. On Sunday
morning, carrying out the good ad
vice before leaving his country home,
he went to church. Standing at the
door, he was abashed as the beauty and
fashion and wealth swept through the
doors of the sanctuary, and he dared
not go in. As he was about turning to
go away a gentleman said, "Have you
a seat, young man?” "No, sir.” "Do
you belong to the city?” “No, sir.”
"Where is your home?" "In the coun
try.” “How long have you been in the
city?” "I came in last night.” "What
are you going to do here?” "I hope to
go Into business to-morrow.” “That is
right You have begun well, young
man. Never forsake the God of your
fathers. Come, I will give you a seat
in my pew.” The next morning the
young man presented his letter in bus
iness circles. "What do you want,
young man?” said the Scotch mer
chant. "I want to get credit on some
leather, upper and sole.” “Have you
references?” "I think I can get refer
ences. My father has friends here.”
"Young man, did I not see you yester
day in Mr. Lenox’s pew?” "I do not
know. sir. I was at church, and a kind
gentleman asked me to sit In his pew.”
"Yes, young man. that was Robert
Lenox. I will trust anyone that Mr.
Lenox invites into his pew. You need
not trouble yourself about references.
When these goods are gone, come and
get more.” That young man became
an eminent merchant and. more than
that, a Christian merchant, and he at
tributed all his success to that first
Sabbath in the city. Young man Just
arrived, put yourself under good influ
ences your llrst day in town. There
hangs your helmet. Take It down.
There is your breastplate. Adjust it.
There is all the harness for safety and
triumph. Put it on.
Also see in my subject the folly of
underestimating the enemy. That was
Henhadad’s fatal mistake. He want
ed less than half a day to capture Sa
maria and make the king of Israel
capitulate. But what he thought was
so easy turned out to be the impossible.
Better overestimate than underesti
mate the other side. We who are try
ing to make the world what it ought
to be contend not with homunculi.
We wrestle not with striplings. We
have a whole army of antagonists try
ing to halt the King of God and over
throw the cause of righteousness. If
we secure the victory, it will be a
struggle as‘fierce as when the Greeks
and Persians met at Marathon, as
when Darius and Alexander grappled
each other at Arbela, as when Joan of
Arc rode triumphant at Orleans, as
when the Russians met the Swedes at
Poltava, as when Marlborough com
manded the allied armies at Blenheim.
Those were fights for earthly crowns
and dominions, but the fight that now
goes on between all the allied armies
of hell Is to settle whether God or Sa
tan is to have possession of this planet.
I congratulate all those who are now
in the thickest of life’s battle that the
time is coming when the struggle will
end and you will put the harness off.
helmet and greaves and breastplate
having fulfilled their mission. You
cannot in one visit to London Tower
see all. You must go again and again
You will see the crowns of kings and
queens, the robe worn by the Black
Prince, and silver baptismal fonts from
which royal infants were christened,
and the block on which Lord Lovat
was beheaded. But no part of Lon
don Tower will more interest you than
the armory, in which is skillfully and
impressively arranged a collection of
all styles of armor worn between the
thirteenth and eighteenth centuries,
suggesting 500 years of conflict—cui
rass and neck guard and chin piece and
lance rest and gauntlet and girdle and
mailed apron. You see just how from
head to heel those old time warriors
were defended against sharp weapons
that would cu. or thrust or bruise and
allowing them to come out of battle
unhurt when otherwise they would
have been slain.
O ye soldiers of Jesus Christ, when
the war of life is over and the victors
rest in the soldiers’ home on the heav
enly heights, perhaps there may be in
the city of the sun a tower of spiritual
armor such as Incased the warriors for
Christ in earthly combat. Some day
we may be in that armory and hear
the heroes talk of how they fought the
good fight of faith and see them with
the scars of wounds forever healed and
look at the weapons of offense and de
fense with which they became more
than conquerors. In that tower of
heaven, as the weapons of the spiritual
conflict are examined, St. Paul may
point out to us the armor with which
he advised the Ephesians to equip
themselves and say: "That is the
shield of faith. That is the helmet of
salvation. That is the girdle of truth.
That is the breastplate of righteous
ness. Those are the mailed shoes in
which they were shod with the prepa
ration of the gospel.” There and then
you may recount the contrast between
the day when you enlisted in Christian
conflict and the day when you closed
it in earthly farewell and heavenly sal
utation, and the text, which has so
much meaning for us now, will have
more meaning for us then. “Let not
him that girdeth on his harness boast
himself as he that putteth it off.”

LESSON II. JAN. 12; ACTS 2: l-l I —
PROMISE FULFILLED.
(•nlilen Te*».-“Th« Promise Is Unto
You snd to Your Children—Arts 2:
30.” — The Coming of the Iloly
Spirit.
I. The Assembly on Pentecost.—V. 1.
When. I. "The day of Pentecost was
fully come.” Was being completed. It
was at the beginning of the day which
was not yet complete. The day had not
merely dawned, hut was shining In Its
full glory, showing how bright must have
been the flame that appeared. Pente
cost was a harvest festival, celebrated
fifty days after the Passover. The word
means fiftieth. Who. The one hundred
and twenty disciples named In the last
chupter. Including the upostles, the wo
men. and those who believed In the
ressurrectlon of Jesus, and In his prom
ise. Where. "With one accord In one
place.” The tipper room In Jerusalem,
mentioned In the previous chapter. How
Long. During ten days from the ascen
sion.
II. The Coining of the Holy Spirit.—
Vs. 2-4. This was one of the greatest,
most epochal days In the world's his
tory. 2. "And suddenly." As they were
praying. So the lightning breaks forth
suddenly from the cloud, but the elec
tricity that prepared for It had been gath
ering silently for hours. Illustration.
Mr. Spurgeon says; "I looked recently at
a very remarkable sight, the burning
of a huge floorcloth manufactory. I was
just about returning home from my
Master's work when I saw a little blare,
and in an Incredibly short space a vol
ume of tire rolled up In great masses
to the skies. Why blared It so suddenly?
Why, because for months before many
men had been busily employed in hang
ing up the floorcloth, und In saturating
the building with combustible materials.
1 do not mean with the Intention of mak
ing a blare, but In the ordinary course
of their manufacture; so that when at
last the spark came It grew into a great
sheet of flame all at once." So It Is with
an Individual soul; so sometimes with a
community. "God had been mysterious
ly at work months before In that man's
heart, preparing his soul to catch the
heavenly flame, so that there was only a
spark needed and then up rolled the
flame to heaven."
III. The Results from This New Pow
er. The New Era Begun.—Vs. 4-11. “Be
gan to speak with other tongues," In
other languages than their own Hebrew,
or Aramaic (the then modern form of
the Hebrew), or Greek; with all three
of which they naturally were more or
less familiar. “Luke distinctly asserts
that the apostles. If not the whole
Christian assembly, received the power
of speaking in foreign languages, and
that some of the hearers, at all events,
understood them.”—Knowling. 5. "And
there were dwelling at Jerusalem." Both
residents (for the foreign Jews loved to
spend their declining years there) and
pilgrims who had come up to the Pente
cost feast. “Devout men." Truly re
ligious men, waiting for the appearing
of the promised Messiah. These were
the persons most likely to become Chris
tians. Such an one was Simeon (Luke 2:
25>, who is described by the same word
"devout," and as “waiting for the con
solation of Israel.” “Out of every na
tion under heaven.” Only a very small
portion of the Jewish people lived in
Palestine during the times of our Lord
and his apostles; hy far the largest num
ber were natives of other lands.—Pro
fessor Lindsay.
IV. The EfTects of the Gift of the
Spirit.—Vs. 12-21. First Effect. The ef
fect of this gift of the Holy Spirit upon
the apostles was a wonderful change in
them. It was almost a transliguratlon
experience. So the dead wire is thrilled
with electricity, and bursts out Into light
and power. They were common men no
longer. As Moshelm says, "Their Igno
rance was turned into light, their doubts
Into certainty, their fears into a firm
and invincible fortitude, and their form
er backwardness into an ardent and in
extinguishable zeal." Note especially
the change in Peter from the man who,
two months before, had forsaken his
Lord and fled, and thrice denied him.
Then Peter “had to speak on the spur
of the moment, and to a crowd excited
as only an Eastern crowd can be. It is
not easy for the most practiced orator
to catch the ear and hold the attention
of a confused and hostile crowd. Shakes
peare means us to recognize consum
mate skill in Mark Antony's handling of
the Roman citizens at Caesar’s funeral;
but he used flattering words, and he
spoke in order to rouse the people against
the assassins or i acsar, mu againsi
themselves. St. Peter had to address the
crowd on a theme which could not be
welcome, and to stir them to self-con
demnation. Yet we see no trace of hesi
tation or embarrassment.''—Donald Fraz
er. In Speeches of the Apostles. Second
Effect. On the people the effect was. at
first, one of Intense amazement and per
plexity. 12. "Amazed.’’ The Greek verb
is one of which our word "ecstasy" Is al
most a transliteration. It means to
throw out of position, hence, to drive one
out of one's senses, hence, to amaze, as
tonish. "Were In doubt," “perplexity.”
The Greek word is compound, meaning,
to be without a way out or through. The
radical Idea of the compound verb seems
to be of one who goes through the whole
list of possible ways, and finds no way
out. Hence, to be in perplexity.—M. R.
Vincent. They could not understand the
meaning till Peter explained it to them.
Third Effect. 13. "Others mocking.” The
Greek Is from a word meaning a Jest or
joke, and the preposition through. To
them it was a Jest all through, something
to be sneered at. "These men are full of
new wine." At that season there was
no new wine, in the sense of unferment
ed. But it refers to the last vintage of
the precious autumn. It was "sweet
wine,” still in the process of fermenting,
"referring to the lusciousness of the
quality of Its make, and not of necessity
to the brevity of its age."—Knowling.
Only those foreign Jews of each country
could understand what was said In their
own language. To all others the words
were unintelligible, and seemed like a
meaningless babel. Similar results are
often noticed in a revival of religion.
We know there is a great power for
good, when the opposition Is strong.
There Is no excitement against a cold
< hurch or an Indifferent religion. But
when men rage against the truth, then
take courage, for there is power on your
side. Peter, in his sermon, defends the
disciples from this charge of drunken
ness. They well knew that "in the East
men drink only in the evening, so that
no drunken person is ever seen by day."
An Alphabetical Courtship.
"Yes,” said the fair, young girl, “I
had a great many alphabetical court
ships while I was in the country this
summer." "Indeed?” he murmured,
not knowing what else to say, but be
ing more anxious to get at the next
paragraph. "Yes,” she continued, “you
know I would roll my eyes, and then
the jay3 had to follow the eyes, didn't
they?” After repeating the alphabet
up to the “I, J" part, we concluded that
the fair young thing knew whereof
she spake.—Baltimore American.
