ness or the Charches-Christians En
couraged to March on.
W a recent sermon delirarad fo tho
t tauqua assembly at Madison, "Wis.,
lKl T. DeWitt Talmage discoursed
upon the necessity of Christian workers
hcing aggressive. Ilis text was Esther
iv. 14: "Who knowcth whether thou
art come to the kingdom for such a
time as this? Dr. Talmage said:
Esther, the beautiful, was the wife of
Ahasuerus, the abominable. The time
m had come lor her to present a petition
to her infamous husband in behalf of
the Israelitish nation, to which she had
once belonged. She was afraid to un
dertake the work, lest she should lose
her own life; but her uncle, Mordecai.
who had brought her up, encouraged
her with the suggestion that probably
she had been raised up of God for that
peculiar mission. "Who knowest
whether thou art come to the kingdom
for such a time as this?" Esther had
her God-appointed work; you and I have
ours. It is my business to tell jou
what btyle of people we ought
to be in order that we may
meet the demand of the age
in which God has cast our lot If
you have come expecting to hear ab
stractions discussed, or dry technicali
ties of religion glorified, you have come
to the wrong place; but if you really
would like to know what this age has a
right to expect of you as Christian men
and women, then I am ready, in the
lord's name, to look 3-011 in the face.
"When two armies have rushed into bat
tle the ollieers of either army do not
want a philosophical discussion about
the chemical properties of human blood
or the nature of gunpowder; they want
some one to man the batteries and
swab out the guns. And now, when
all the forces of light and darkness, of
heaven and hell, have plun&sd into the
light, it is no time to give ourselves to
M the definitions and formulas and tech
" idealities and conventionalities of re
ligion. What we want is practical,
earnest, concentrated, enthusiastic and
triumphant help. What wo need in the
east you in Wisconsin need.
In the first place, in order to meet the
special demand of this age, yon need to
he an unmistakably aggressive Chris
tian. Of half-and-half Christians we do
not want any more- The church of
.lesus Christ will be better without ten
thousand of them. They are the chief
obstacle to the church's advancement.
1 am speaking of another kind of Chris
tian. All the appliances for your be
coming an earnest Christian art; at your
hand, and there is a straight path foryou
into the broad daylight of God's for
giveness. You may have come here
to-day the bondsmen of the world, and
yet before, you go out of these doors
you may become the princes of the
Lord God Almighty. You know what
excitement there is in this country
when a foreign prince comes to our
shores. Why? Kecause it is expected
that some day he will sit upon a throne.
I'.ut what is all that honor compared
with the'honor to which God calls 3-011
to be sons and daughters of the l.ord
Almighty; 3'ea, to be queens and kings
unto God? "They shall reign with
llim forever and forever."
J"' mv friends, vou need to be air-
C-M've Christians and not like those
kesons who spend their lives in hug-
thir Christian rrraecs and won
dering why they do not make any
progress. How much robustness of
health would a man have if he hid him
self in a dark closet? A great deal of
piety of the day is too exclusive. It
hides itself. It needs more fresh air,
more out door exercise. There are
iuaii3' Christians who are giving their
entire life to self examination. They
are feeling their pulses to see what is
the condition of their spiritual health.
Ilou long would a man have robust
physical health if he kept all the days
and weeks and months and year-, of his
life feeling his pulse instead of going
out into active, earnest, everyday
work?
1 was once amid the wonderful, 1k
w Suiting cactus growths of Tforth Car
olina. 1 never was more liewildcred
with the beauty of Mowers, and 3'ct
w hen 1 would take up one of these cac
tuses and pull the leaves apart, the
Wauty was all gone. You could hnrdly
tell that it had ever been a Mower.
And there arc a great many Christian
people in this day just pulling apart
their Christian e.ieriences to see what
there is in them, and there is nothing
attractive left. This style of mjI ex
amination Is a damage instead of an
advantage to their Christian character
1 remember when 1 was a boy I use to
have a small piece in the ganlcn that I
called mv own. and I planted corn
there, and every few days 1 would pull
it up to see how fast it was growing.
Now, there arc a great many Christian
jeoplc in these days whose self-exam-iuation
merely amounts to the pulling
up of that which they only yesterday or
the day lefore planted.
O. my friends! if you want to have a
stalwart Christian character plant it
right out of doors in the great field of
Christian usefulness, and though storms
may come upon it, and though the hot
sun of trial may try to consume it, it
will thrive nntu it becomes a great
tree, in which the fowls of Heaven may
have their habitation. 1 have no pa
tience with these Mower pot Christians.
TI1C3 keep themselves under shelter,
and all their Christian experience in a
small exclusive circle, when they ought
to plant it in the great garden of the
Lord, so that the whole atmosphere
could be aromatic with their Christian
usefulness. What we want in the
church of God isjuore brawn of piety.
The century plant is wonderf ully sug
gestive and wonderfully beautiful, but
1 never look at it without thinking of
its parsimony, rt lets whole genera
tions go by before it puts forth one
blossom; so I have really more heart
felt admiration when 1 see the dewy
tears in the blue eyes of the violets for
they come every spring. My Ciiristian
friend-, time is going by so rapidly that
we cannot afford to "be idle.
A recent statistician says that human
life now has an average of only thirty-
two years. From these thirty-two years
you must subtractall the timeyon take
for sleep and the taking of food and
recreation; that willleave you about
sixteen years. iYora those sixteen
years you must subtract all the time
nu are necessarily engaged in the earn
ing of livelihood': that will leave you
aboumt years. From those eight
yearrPra must take all the days and
weeks and -months all the length of
time that is passed in childhood and
sickness leaving you about one 3ear in
whicl to work for God. O. my soul,
wake up! Howf darest thou sleep in
harvest time and . with so few hours in
which to reap? So that I state it as a
simple fact that all the time that a vast
majority of you will have for the ex
clusive service of God will be less than
one year!
"lint," says some men, I liberally
support the Gospel, and the church is
open and the Gospel is preached, all the
spiritual advantages are spread before
men, an-1 if they want to be saved let
them "come to be saved. I have dis
charged att my responsibility." AJj, is
m
iBBr
that the Master's spirit? Is there not
an old book somewhere that ommanda
us to go out int the highways and the
hedges and compel the people to ooae
in? What would have become of yoa
and me if Christ had not come down off
the hills of Heaven and if he had not
come through the door of the Bethle
hem caravansary, and if be had not,
with the crushed hand of the crucifix,
knocked at the iron gate of the sepul
cher of our spiritual death, crying:
"Lazarus, come forth?" 0, mj
Christian friends, this is no time for
inertia, when all the forces of darkness
seem to be in full blast; when steam
printing presses are publishing infidel
tracts; when express railroad trains
are carryiug messengers of sin; when
fast clippers are laden with opium and
rum; when the night air of our cities is
polluted with the laughter that breaks
up from the ten thousand saloons of
dissipation and abandonment; when the
fires of the second death already are
kindled in the checks of some who, only
a little while ago, were incorrupt.
Never since the curse fell upon the
earth has there been a time when it
was such an unwise, such a cruel, such
an awful thing for the church to sleep!
The great audiences are not gathered
in the Christian churches, the great
audiences are gathered in temples of
sin tears of unutterable woe their
baptism, the blood of crushed hearts
the awful wine of their sacrament,
blasphemies their litany, and the
groaus of the lost world the organ
dirge of their worship.
Again, if you want to be qualified to
meet the duties which this age demands
of you, you must on the one hand avoid
reckless iconoclasm, and on the other
hand not stick too much to things be
cause they are old. The air is full of
new plans, new projects, new theories
of government, new theologies, and I
am amazed to see how so many Chris
tians want only novelty in order to
recommeud a thing to their confidence,
and so they vacillate and swing to and
fro, and U1C3' are useless and they are
unhappy. New plans secular, ethical,
philosophical, religious cisatlantic,
transatlantic Ah, my brother, do not
adopt a thing merely because it is new.
Try it by the realities of a judgment
day.
I'.ut, on the other hand, do not adhere
to anything inerelv because it is old.
There is not a single enterprise of the
church or the world but has sometimes
been scoffed at. There was a time
when men derided even Bible societies;
and when a few young men met near
a hay stack in Massachusetti and or
ganized the first missionary society
ever organized in this country there
went laughing and ridicule all around
the Christiau church. They said the
undertaking was preposterous. And so
also the work of .lesus Christ was as
sailed. I'eople cried out: "Who erer
heard of such theories of ethics and
government? Who ever noticed such a
tyle of preaching as Jesus has?"
Ezekiel had talked of mysterious
wings and wheels. Here came a man
from Capernaum and Gennesaret, and
he drew his illustrations from the sand.
from the ravine, from the cornstalks.
How the 1'harLsccs scoffed! How Herod
derided! How Caiaphas hissed! And
this .Tesus they plucked 113 the beard,
and they spat in his face, and they
called Him "this fellow!" All the great
enterprises in and out of the church
have at times been scoffed nt, and there
have been a great multitude who have
thought that the chariot of God's truth
would fall to pieces if it once got out of
the old rut.
And so there arc those who have no
patience with ni'thing like improve
ment in church architecture, or with
anything like good, hearty, earnest
church singing, and they deride any
form of religions discussion which goes
down walking among every day men
rather thau that which makes an excur
sion on rhetorical stilts. O that the
church of God would wake up to an
adaptability of work! We must admit
the simple fact that the churches of
.lesus Christ in this day do not reach
the great masses. There are r0,000
people- in Edinburgh who never hear
the Gospel. There are 1,000,000 jH-'ople
in Ixuidon who never hear the Gospel.
There are at least ,".00,(K0 souls in the
city of Br jolclyn who come not under
the immediate ministrations of Christ's
truths; and the church of God in this
day, instead of Ikmiijj a place full of
living epistles, read and known of all
men, is more like a "dead letter" post-
oflice.
"But," say the people, "the world is
going to be converted; 3-011 must be
patient; the kingdoms of this world are
to become the kingdoms of Christ."
Never, unless the church of .lesus
Christ puts on more speed nnd energy.
Instead of the church converting the
world, the world is converting the
church.
Here is a great fortress. How shall
it Ihi taken? An army comes and sits
around about it, and cuts off the sup
plies and says: "Now we will just
wait until from exhaustion and starva
tion they will have to give it up."
Weeks nnd months and perhaps a year,
pass along nnd finally the fortress sur
renders through that starvation and
exhaustion. But, my friends the for
tresses of sin are never to be taken in
that way. If they are taken for God it
will be by storm; yon will have to bring
up the great siege guns of the Gospel to
the verv wall and wheel the flying ar
tillery into line, and when the armed
infantry of Heaven shall confront the
battlements 3011 will have to give the
quick command, "Forward! Charge!"
Ah, my friends there is work for you
to do and for me to do in order to this
grand accomplishment! Here is a pul
pit, and a clergyman preaches in it
Your pulpit is the bank. Your pulpit
is the ore. Your pulpit is the edito
rial chair. Your pulpit is the anvil.
Your pulpit is the house scaffolding.
Your pulpit is the mechanic's shop.
may stand in thi- place and, through
cowardice or through self seeking, may
keep back the word I ought to utter;
while you. with sleeve rolled up and
brow besweated with toil, may utter
the word that will jar the foundation
of Heaven with, the shout of a great
victory. O, that to-day this whole audi
ence might feel that tbe lord Almighty
is putting upon them the hands of
ordination. Every one, go forth and
preach this Gospel. You have as much
right to preach as I have, or as any
man has. Only find out tbe pulpit
where God will have you preach,
and there preach. Hedley Vicars
was a wicked man in the English army.
The grace of God came to him. He be
came an earnest and eminent Christian.
They scoffed at him and said: "You are
a hypocrite: you aro as bad as ever you
were." Still he kept his faith in Christ
and after awhile, finding that they
could not turn him aside by calling him
a hypocrite, they said unto him: "Oh,
yon are nothing but a fanatic."
That did not disturb him. He went
on performing his Christian duty until
he had f o-yoed all his troop into a Bible
class, and the whole encampment was
shaken with the presence of God. So
Havelock went into the heathen temple
in India while the English army was
there, and put a candle into the hand of
each of the heathen gods that stood
around in the heathen temple, and by
the light of those candles, held up by
the idols Gen. Havelock preached
righteousness, temperance and judg
ment to come. And who will say on
earth or in Heaven that Havelock had
not the right to preach?
la the minister s house where I pre
pared for college there was a man who
worked, by the likine of Peter 'Croy.
He could nciter read nor write bat fca

"would stop in the house grave theolo
giansand at family prayers Peter
Croy would be called opoa to lead; and
all those wise men sat around, wonder
struck at his religions efficacy. When
he prayed he reached op and
seemed to take hold of the
very throne of the Almighty, and he
talked with God until the very heavens
were bowed down into the sitting
room. O, if I were dying I would
rather have plain Peter Croy kneel
by my bedside and commend ray im
mortal spirit to God than some heart

Gospel preach it in the Sabbath
schools in the prayer meetings, in the
highways, in the hedges. Woe be unto
you if you preach it not
I remark again that in order to be
qualified to meet your duty in this par
ticular age you want unbounded faith
in the triumph of the truth and the
overthrow of wickedness. How dare
the Christian church ever get discour
aged? Have we not the Lord Almighty
on our side? How long did it take God
to slay the hosts of Sennacherib, or
bur a Sodom, or shake down Jericho?
How long will it take God. when He
once arises in His strength, to over
throw all the forces of iniquity? Be
tween this time and that thero
may be long seasons of darkness the
chariot wheels of God's Gospel may
seem to drag heavily; but there is the
promise and yonder is the throne: and
when Ora -iscience has lost its evesight
and Omnipotence falls back impotent,
and Jehovah is driven from His throne,
then the church of Christ can afford to
be despondent but never until then.
Despots may plan and armies may
march, aud the congresses of the na
tions may seem to think the3' are ad
justing all the affairs of the world, but
the mighty men of earth arc onl3' the
dust of the chariot wheels of God's
providence.
I think that before the sun of this
century shall set the last tyranny may
fall, and with a splendor of demonstra
tion that shall be the astonishment of
the universe God will set forth the
brightness of pomp and glory and per
petuity of His eternal government
Out of the starry Mags aud the emblaz
oned insignia of this world, God will
make a path for His own triumph, and,
returning from universal conquest lie
will sit down, the grandest strongest,
highest throne of earth His footstool.

I preach this sermon because I want
to encourage all Christian workers in
every possible department Hosts of
the living God, march on! march on!
His spirit will bless you. His sword
will strike for 3-011. March on! march
on! The last despotism will fall, and
paganism will burn its idols, and Mo
hammedanism will give tin its false
prophet, and the great walls of super
stition will come down in thunder aud
wreck at the long, loud blast of tiie
Gospel trumpet March on! march on!
march on! The imsiegement will soon
be ended. Ouly a Jew jnore steps on
the long wa3; only a few more
sturdy blows; only a few more
battle cries, then God will put tlu
laurel upon your brow, nnd from the
living fountains of Heuven will hatha
off the sweat and the heat and the dust
of the conflict March on! inarch on!
For 3'ou the time for work will soon be
passed, and amid the outflashings of
the judgment throne, and the trumpets
ing of resurrection angels, and the up
heaving of a world of graves and the
hosauna of the saved and the groaning
of the lost, we shall be ruwarded for
our faithful ness" or punished for our
stupidity. Blessed le the Lord- God of
Israel from everlasting to everlasting,
and let the whole earth lie filled with
his glory. Amen and amen.
MONKEY ACTORS.
A Man Nail llcmf! t Monitor to Teach a
Monkey lleliiuil tlitt VriiM.
The training of monkeys for stago
performances demands peculiar taleuts
aad a curious psychological ability ou
thopartof the instructor. Urockmann,
probably the most successful monkey
trainer .that the world iias seen, once
described thns the necessary method of
approaching a monkey pupil:
"To the moukcy man is a strange
and incomprehensible Insing. 1 there
fore must adopt as far as possible tho
monke3''s way of regarding persons and
things. The. monkey must find in me
one of his own kind a monkey like
himself, only a mach stronger monkey,
whom be must obey. Then he has
something which he can understand,
he accustoms himself to it and ho
voluntarily takes more pains to com
prehend me than he would take to com
prehend a being who made on him
about the same impression that a mon
ster from another world would make
on us. I adapt therefore, all to his
mode of life. When he disobeys and
rebels against me 1 do not strike le-
cause he does not strike; but I bite be
cause he bites "
The behavior of a troupe of
monkeys trained by ltrockmann would
undoubtedly strengthen the convictions
of the Russian Duroff, who gave up
teaching in a high school to instruct
pigs and geese, and who holds that of
all pupils, human pupils are the least
docile. A man once behind the scenes
of Hrockmann's monkey theater wrote
a few weeks ago:
I have always regretted that llrock
mann did not give his performances on
a perfectly open stage, so that the audi
ence could see tl waiting performers.
The conduct of tbe quadruped actors
while awaiting their parts was much
more fascinating than their best acting
before the audience. Like a company
ot gnomes or Liliputians the little per
formers sit there dressed and made up
perfectly well behaved, each in the
proper human attitude on his tinv
ehair. each following with undivided
attention and eager anxiety the progress
of the play so as to be ready at the ex
act moment for his appearance. No
person is -near thcip, no servant or at
tendant to distract them, and no
prompter to whisper at tbe proper time:
" Fraulein Lehmann, look out! You
come on immediately; or. 'Herr
Schulze! Where is Herr Schulze?
Quick! Quick! You must go on.
"Every one knows his part perfectly.
Every one is acquainted with the pro
gress of the plot and with the stage of
the development at which he is expect
ed to appear. Without a catchword or
motion he hurries dowa from his tiny
chair and out on the stage, plays his
little part aad. without a bow for the
approval of the audience, turns back to
his place, not to leave it before daty
calls him again before the footlights.
Here all alone and -an watched these
