i THE ROANOKK NEWS, THURSDAY, .1ANUAKY 1;), ISM. :A NEW YEAR'S SERMON. PREACHED BY DR TALMAGE, SUN 4. 1891. DAY, JAN. Be Describes a Forward Movement The Conflict Between Itleht and Wrn(. Christians Should ot I.om Courage, but Should Press on to Victory. Brooklyn. Jan. 4. Dr. Tahuage's New Years sermon is a ringing battle cry to ministers and Christians every where, calling upon them to join in a combined charge on the intrenchments of sin and iSatan. It made a deep im pression on the vast crowds who beard it in this city this morning, and at The Christian Herald service to-night in New York. The enthusiasm at the lat ter service was increased by the effect ive aid rendered by a large volunteer choir which has been organized from the audiences, who sung with a volume) and fervor seldom equaled. After the singing of the hymn commencing, I'tw, Hi ily Sjiirit. heavenly dove. Willi nil tliy cuii'L ening powers, Dr. Talmage preached the following sermon from the text Luke, xxiv, 49, "Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem un til yo be endued with power from on high:" For a few months, in the providence of God, I have two pulpits, one in Brook lyn ami the other in New York, and through the kindness of the printing press an ever widening opportunity. .To all such hearers and reuders I come with an especial message. The time lias arrived for a forward movement such as the church and the world have never seen. That there is a need for such a religious movement is evident from the fact that never since our world was swung out among the planets has there been such an organized and determined elTort to overthrow right eousness and make the Ten Command ments obsolete and the whole Hiblo a derision. Meanwhile alcoholism is tak ing down its victims by the hundreds of thousands, and the political parties get down on their knees, practically saying: "O thou almighty rum jug! we bow down before thee. Give us the offices, city, state and national. Oh, give us the offices and we w ill worship thee for eer and ever, Amen." The Christian Sabbath meanwhile, appointed for physical, mental and spiritual rest, is being secularized and abolished. Ah if the bad publishing bouses of our own country had ex hausted their literary tilth, the French and Russian sewers have been invited to Kur their scurrility and moral slush into the trougli where our American swine are now wallowing. Meanwhile there are enough houses of infamy in all our cities, open and unmolested of j the law, to invoke the omnipotent wrath which buried Sodom under a ' deluge of brimstone. The pandemo niac world, 1 think, lias massed its troops, and they are this moment ply ing their batteries upon family circles, church circles, social circles, political circles and national circles. Apollyon is in the saddle, and, riding at the head of his myrmidons, would capture this world for darkness and woe. THK CHMSTIAN SIDK OK THK FIGHT. That is one side of the conflict now raging. On the other side we have the most magnificent gospel machinery that the world ever saw or heaven ever in vented. In the lirst place, there are in this country more than S(),(M)i) ministers of religion, and, take them as a class, more consecrated, holier, more consist ent, more self denying, more faithful men never lived. I know them by the thousands. 1 have met them in every city. I am told, not by them, but by i people outside our profession, x'ople engaged in Christian and reformatory : work, that the clergy of America are at the head of all good enterprises, and whoever else fail they may be depend ed on. The truth of this is demonstrat ed by the fact that when a minister of religion does fail, it is so exceptional that the newspapers report it as some thing startling, while a hundred men 1 in other callings may go down without the matter being considered as espe- i cially worth mentioning. In addition to their equipment in moral character the clergy of this country have all that the schools can ! give. All architological, rhetorical, 1 scientific, scholastic, literary attain- i merit. So much for the Christian iiiin- j istry of all denominations. In the next 1 place, on our side of the. conflict we have the grandest churches of all time, ; and higher style of membership and more of them, and a host without, num ber of splendid men and women who arc doing their best to have this world puritied, elevated, gospcli.od. Hut we all feel tliat something is wanting. Enough hearty songs have been sun;; and enough earnest sermons preached within the last six months to save all the cities of America; and saving the cities yon save the world, for they over flow all the land cither with their re ligion or their infamy. 'sOMIC STARTLING FACTS. But look at some of the startling facts. It is nearly nineteen hundred years since Jesus Christ came by the way of Hethlehem caravansary to save this world, yet the most of the world has been no more touched by this most stupendous fact of all eternity than if on the first Christmas night the beasts of the stall, amid the bleatings of their own young, had not heard the bleating of the Lamb that was to be slain. Out of the eighteen hundred million of the human race, fourteen hundred million are without God and without hope in the world, the camel driver of Arabia, Mahomet, with his nine wives, having half as many disciples as our blessed Christ, and more people are worship- in '!'""ks pBtotal T.MKl T1 c:irvol stone than an1 worshiping the living and eternal (iod. Meanwhile, the most of us who are engaged in Christian work I speak for myself as well as others are toiling up to our full capacity of body, mind and soul, harnessed up to the last buckle, not able to draw a pound more than we are drawing, or lift an ounce more than we are lifting. What is the matter? My text lets out the secret. We all need more of the power from on high. Not muscular power, not logical power, not scientific power, not social power, not financial power, not brain power, but power eomplish more in one week than with from on high. With it we could nc out it in a hundred years. And I am going to get it, if in answer to prayer, earnest and long continued, Cod will grant it me, his unworthy servant. Men and women who know how to pray, when you pray for yourself pray for me that I may be endued with power from on high. I would rather have it than all the diamond fields of Golconda, and all the pearls of the sea, and all the gold in the mountains. Many of the mightiest intellects never had a touch of it, and many of the less than ordinary intellect have been sur charged with it. And every man and woman on earth has a right to aspire to it. u right to pray for it. and, properly persistent, will obtain it. Power from on the level is a good thing -such power as 1 may give you or you may give me by encouraging words and actions. Power from on the level when we stand by each other in any Christian undertaking. Power from on the level when other pulpits are in accord with ours. Power from on the level when the religions and secular press forward our Christian undertak ings. Hut power from on the level is not sufficient. Power from on high is what we need to take possession of us. Power straight from (iod. Supernat ural power, omnipotent power, all con quering power. Not more than one out of a thousand of the ministers has it continuously. Not more than one out of ten thousand Christians has it all the time. Given in abundance, these last ten years of the Nineteenth century would accomplish more for God, and the church, and the world than the previous ninety years of this century. l'OW Kit KHOM OX HIGH. A few men and women in each age of the world have possessed it. Caro line Fry, the immortal Quakeress, had it. and three hundred of the depraved and suffering of Newgate prison under her exhortation repented and believed. Jonathan Edwards had it, and North ampton meeting house heard the out burst of religious emotion as he sjwko of righteousness and judgment to come. Samuel Hudgett, the Christian mer chant, had it, and his benefactions showered the world. John Newton had it. Hishop Latimer had it. Isabella Graham had it. Andrew Fuller had it. The great evangelists, Daniel Maker and Dr. Netileton and Truman (shorn and Charles (r. Finney, had it. In my boyhood I saw Truman (.(shorn rise to preach in the village church at Somer ville, N. J., and before he had giveu out his text or uttered a word people ir the audience sobbed aloud with re 1 iff ions emotion. It was the power from on high. All in greater or less degree may have it. Once get it and nothing can stand before you. Satan goes down. Caricature goes down. Infi delity goes down. Worldliness goes down. All opposition goes down. Several times in the history of the church and the world lias this power from on high been demonstrated. In the Seventeenth century, after a great, season of moral depression, this power from on high came down upon John Tillotson and Owen and Flavel and Haxter and liuiivan. and there was a deluge of mercy higher than the tops of tlie highest mountains of sin. In the Eighteenth century, in England and America, religion was at a low water mark. William Cowper, writing of the clergy of thoie days, said: 1 F.Teept a fcv with F.li's spirit lilest . ilic.hni anil Phine:w may describe tlie rest The infidel writings of Shaftesbury and Hobbes and Chubb had done their ! work. Hut jiower from on high cauie 1 upon both the Wesleysand Lady Jlunt- i ington on the other side th( Atlantic, j mid upon William Tetmant and Gilbert j Tennant and David Urainerd on this side the Atlantic, and both hemispheres : felt the tread of a pardoning (iod. ' Coming to l iter date there may be here and llicre in this atldielicean aged man or vo;:i,-ri who can remember New York in 1S,".1, when this power : from on high descended most won- i drously. It ciimo upon pastors and ; congr ".::'.fio: urid theatres and com- ! mercial establishments. Chatham Street theatre. New York, was the i scene of a most tremendous religious I awakening. A committee of Christian gentlemen called upon tho lessee of the theatre and said they would like to buy the lease of the theatre, lie said, '"What do you want it for?" They replied, "For a church." "For wh-a-n-t. ' said the owner. "For a church," was the reply. The owner said, "You may have it, and I will give you a thousand dollars to help you on with your work." Arthur Tappan, a man might ily persecuted in his time, but a man, as I saw him in his last days, as honest and pure and good as any man I ever knew, stepped on the stage of old Chatham theatre as the actors were closing their morning rehearsal, and said, "There will be preaching here to night on this stage," and then gave out and sang with such people as were there the old hymn : Toe voice or nre tfntce oles, escape lo the nimr iin. Fur all thot IHieve Christ b.'ia opened a Nimil&in. A UUtltOOM MADU A Fit A YK 11 UOOM. Tho barroom of the theatre was turned into a prayer room, and eight hundred H'r.ions were present at the lirst meeting. For seventy successive nights religious services were held iu that theatre, and such stvnes of mercy and salvation as will be subject of conversation and congratulation among the ransomed in glory as Idng as heaven lasts. Hut I come to a later time -1K57 rememtered by many who are hen1. I rememlter it esjiecially as I hail just entered the office of the min istry. It was a year of hard times. A great panic had Hung hundreds of thousands of people penniless. Starva tion entered habitations that had never licfore known a want. Domestic life, in many cases, became a tragedy. Sui cide, parroting, burglary, assassination were rampant. What an awful day that was when the banks went down! There has been nothing like it in thirty years, and I pray (rod there may not lie anything like it in the next thirty centuries. Talk about your Hlock Fri days! It was Hlock Saturday, Black Sunday, Black Monday, Black Tues day, Hlock Wednesday, Hlack Thurs day as well as Hlack Friday. This nation in its extremity fell help less lefore the Iird and cried for ar don and jieaee, ami uon ministers and laymen the power from on high de scended. Engine houses, warerooms, hotel Ktrlors, must-urns, factories from 1'2 to 1 o'clock while the ocratives were resting, were opened for prayers and sermons and inquiry rooms, and Burton's old theatre on Chambers street, where our ancestors used to as semble to laugh at the comedies, and all no and down the streets, and out on tne docks an 1 on the deck of ships lying at the wharf, people sang, "All hail the power of Jesus' name," while others cried for mercy. A great mass meeting of Christians on a week day, in Jayne's hall, Philadelphia, tele graphed to Fulton street prayer meet ing in New York, saying, "What hath (iod wrought ?" and a telegram went back, saying, "Two hundred souls saved at our meeting today." A ship came through the Narrows into our harbor, the captain reporting that himself and all the crew had been converted to God between New Or leans and New York. In the busiest marts of our busiest American cities, where the worshipers of Mammon had been counting their golden beads, men began to calculate, "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?" The waiters in res taurants after the closing of their day's work knelt among the tables where they had served. Policemen asked consent of the commissioners of police to be permitted to attend religious meetings. At Albany ineinlxTs of the New York legislature assembled in the room of the court of appeals at half past 8 o'clock in the morning for prayer and praise 1 Tinted invitations were sent out to the firemen of New York saying, 'Come as suits your convenience best, whether in fire or citizens' dress, but come! come!" Quarrymen knelt among the rocks. Fishermen knelt in their boats. Weavers knelt ainoiigthe looms. Sailors knelt among the hammocks. Schoolmasters knelt among their classes, A gentleman traveling said there was line of prayer meetings from Omaha to Washington city, and he might have idded a line of prayer meetings from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, and from the St. Lawrence 1o the (iulf of Mexico. THK KKVIY'AL OK Ill those days what s.mgs, what ser mons, what turnings todoii, w I iat recital-; of thrilling experiences, what nrod- als brought home, what burning tid ings ol souls saved, wliat serfdom of si:i emancipated, what wild rout of the forces of darkness, what victories for the truth! What millions on earth and in heaven are now thanking (iod for 1S.17. which, though the vear of worst financial calamity, was the year of America's most glorious blessing! How do you account for IS.", its spirit ual triumphs on the heels of its worldly misfortune; It was what my text calls the lower from on high. That was thirty-three years ago, and though there have been in various parts of the hind many stirrings of the Holy Ghout there has been no general Awakening. Does it not seem to you that we ought to have and may havo the scenes of power in 1S57 eclipsed by the scenes of power in 1891 ? The cir cumstances are somewhat similar. While we have not had national panic mid universal prostration as iu IS,",", there has been a stringency in the Ul'inev tnnrlo't flint tin- put l!l!U)V of the families of the earth to their wits' end. Large commercial interests col lapsing have left multitudes of em ployes without means of support. Tho racked brains of business men have al most or entirely given way. New illus trations nil over tho land of tho fact that riches have not only feet, on which they walk slowly as they come, but wings on which they speed when they go. Eternal God 1 thou knowest how cramped and severe and solemn a time it is with many. And as the business ruin of 1857 was followed by tho glorious triumphs of grace, let the awful struggles of 1890 be followed by the hallelujahs of a nation saved in 1891. Brethren in the Gospel ministry ! if we pent half as much time in prayer aa we do in tho preparation of our ser mons nothing could stand before us. We would have the power from on high as we never had it. Private mem bership of all Christendom! if we spent half as mum time in positive prayer for this influent as we do in thinking about it and talking about it, there would not be secretaries enough to take down the names of those who would want to give in their names for enlistment. We would have hundreds of cases like those recently reported when a m:ui said to an evangelist : "I am alost sinner. Pray for me. My wife has j been a professor of religion for years, but I knew she did not enjoy religion, and I said if that was all there was in religion 1 did not want it. But for the last few days she hits looked and acted in such an elevated and glorious spirit that I cannot stand it away from ( iod. I want the same religion that inspires her." Come! Come": all through the I'nited States, and all through Christen dom, and all around the world, let us all join hands in holy pledge that we will call upon (iod for the power. Oh, for the lower from on high, the power that came on Pentecost, yea, for ten thousand Penteeosts! Such times will come, and they will come in our day if we have the faith, and the prayer, and the consecration. WHY NOT THK KKV1VAI, OK IS'.U? As the power from on high iu lSfi7 was more remarkable in academies of music and lyceuin halls and theatres than in churches, why not this winter of 1SDI in thee two academies of music, places of secular entertainment where we are during the rebuilding of our Hrooklyn Tabernacle, so grandly and graciously treated by the owners and lessors and lessees; why not ex pect and why not have the power from on high, comforting power, arous ing lower, convicting power, convert ing xiwer. saving power, omnipotent power.' My opinion is that in this clus ter of cities bv the Atlantic coast there are 500, Whi people now ready to accept the gospel call, if, freed from nil the; conventionalities of the church, it were ! earnestly and with strong laitli ire- sented to them. In these brilliant assemblies there are hundreds who arc not frequenters of churches, and who do not believe much if at all in ministers of religion or c.ccle-M.-istieal organizations. Hut (rod knows you have struggles in which you need help and lercavements in which you want solace, and persecutions iu which you ought to have defense, and per plexities iu which you need guidance, and with a profound thought fulness you stand by the grave of the old year, and the cradle of the young year, won dering where you will be and what you will be when "rolling years shall cease to move."

Hut I cannot. Power from on high, lay bold of them! Years ago, at the close of a religious service in Hrooklyn Tabernacle, a gen tleman, most distinguished in appear ance and with remarkable cerebral de velopment, came forward with his wifo and daughter, and said to me in a most courteous and elegant way, "Let mo introduce you to my wife and daughter, who wish some counsel in regard to re ligious matters," and the three sat down. After I had conversed with the wife and daughter I turned to the gen tleman and said, "Perhaps you have some interest yourself in these matters (" "None whatever," was the reply, polito yet linn. Hut before the meeting had closed I saw his hand lifted to his fore head and his eyes closed, and I said, "Sir, have you not changed your mind, and are you in t thoughtful on this sub ject!" He said: "I am. Since coming to this seat I have sought r.ud found Christ ns my Saviour, and I have but one desire more, and that is, before 1 leavo this house to join my wife and daughter in making profession of the Christian religion. I have been known as on the wrong side long enough." What was it that had como upon him? It was the power from high. At the first communion after the dedication of our former church, three hundred and twenty-eight souls stood up in the aisles and publicly espoused the cause of Christ. At another time four hundred souls; at another time five hundred. And our four thousand Ave hundred membership wore but a small part of thoso who within thosq jaered walls took upon themselves the 'ows of the Christian. Whnt turned .hem? What saved . thwii) Power from the level? No, power from on high.

What multitudes of us are or We may 1m- forty, fifty, eighty vears old. but we never get used to - having father and mother gone. Oh. how often we have had troubles that we would like to have told them, and we always felt as long as father and mother were alive we had some one to whom we could go. Now, I would like to ask if you think that all their prayers in your Mi.ilf have been answered. "No," you say. but it is too late, the old folks are in me now." I must ( rteously contradict you. It is not too late. 1 liavo a friend in the ministry who was attending the last hours of mi aged Christian, and my friend se.id To i he old Christian. "Is there no trouble on your mind.'" The old man turned his face to the wall for a few moments, and then said: "Only one thing. 1 hope for the salvation of my ten children, but not one of them is yet saved; yet I am sure they will be. (iod means to wait until I am gone." So he died. When my friend told the circumstances eight of the ten had found the Lord, and I have no doubt the other two before this have found him. Oh. that the long post jioned answers to prayer for you, my brother, for you, my sister, might this hour descend in power from on high. The history of these unanswered prayers for you (iod only knows. They may have been offered in the solemn birth hour. They may have been offered when you were down with scar let fever or diphtheria or membranous croup. They may have been offered some night when you were sound asleep in the trundle bed, and your mother came in to sv if you were rightly covered in the cold winter night. They may have been offered at that time which conn's at least once in almost every one's life, when your father and mother had hard work to make a liv ing, and they feared that watit would come to them and vou. Thev mav have been offered when the lips could no longer move and the eyes were closed for the long sleep. Oh. unanswered prayers of father and mother, where are you.' In what room of theold homestead have they hidden? Oh, unanswered prayers, rise in a mist of many tears into a doud, and then break in a shower which shall soften the heart of that man who is so hard he cannot cry, or that woman who is .-isltamed to pray! Oh, armchair of the aged, now empty and in the garret among the rubbish, speak out! Oh, staff of the pilgrim who has ended his weary journey, tell of the parental mix i ties that bent over thee. Oh, family Bible, with story of births ami deaths, rustle some of thy time worn leaves, and let us know of the wrinkled hands that once turned thy pages, and ex plain that spot where a tear fell upon the passage: "O, Absalom, my son, my son, would God 1 had died for thee.'"

In lCM some ballad singers at the fair of St. tter luainu Miwdered their hair in order to produce an eccentric figure. This is supposed to be the origin of tho cus tom, but so slowly did it spread that a century later, during the reign of George I, two ladies who powdered their hair were laughed at. and at the coronation of George III there were only two hair dressers in London. Hut in 1795 so universal had it be come that the annual amount of flour used for hair powder was valued at 1,250,000, or more than 0,250,000, and the number of persons wearing it wero estimated at 200,000. Think of the loaves of bread this flour which went to serve a caprice of fashion would love made? After this the fashion dwindled, until In 1803 the amount of flour used for powder had sunk to the value of about 200,000. Cloak and Suit Review. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
