THE REV. DR. TALMAGE
THE BROOKLYN DIVINE’S SUNDAY
SERMON.
TttT! "Then said they unto him. say
row Shibboleth; and he said Sibboleth; for
hr could not frame to pronounce it right
Then they took him and slew him at the pas
io.'jes of Jorda.n. n —Judges xii, 0.
r>o vou notice the difference of pronuncia*
tron between shibboleth and sibbolethK A
very small and unimportant difference, you
say. And yet that difference was the differ
ence between life and death for a great many
rrople. The I<ord’s people, Gilead and
J .jihraim, got into a great fight, and Ephraim
was worsted, and on the retreat came
to the fords of the river Jordan to
crons. Order was given that all Euphraim
itcs coming there should be slain. But how
could it lie found out who were
Kphraimites? They were detected by their
pronunciation. Shibboleth was a word that
stood for river. The Ephraimites had a
brogue of their own, and when they tried to
say shibboleth always left out the sound of
the “h." When it was asked that they say
r-hibboleth they said sibl>oleth,and were slain.
‘Then said they unto him, Say now Shibbo
leth ; and he said Sibboleth, for he could not
frame to pronounce it right. Then they took
him and slow him at the passage of Jordan.’’
A very small difference, you say, between
Gilead and Ephraim, and yet how much in
tolerance about that small difference. The
) .ord’s tribe in our time —by which I mean
the different denominations of Christians—
sometimes magnify a very small difference,
.end the only difference between scores of de
li-initiations to day is the difference between
shibboleth and sibboleth.
The church of God is divided into a great
number of denominations. Time would fail
in«» so tell of the Calvinists, and the Armin
i'uis, and the Sabbatarians, and the Baxfcer
ians, and the Bunkers, and the Shakers, and
the Quakers, and the Methodists, and the
Baptists, and the Episcopalians, and the
l.utherarts, nnd the Congregationalists, and
11 to Presbyterians, and the Spiritualists, nnd
a scon* of other denominations of religionists,
some of them founded by very good men,
some of them founded by very egotistic men,
and some of them founded by very bad men.
But as J demand for myself liberty of con
science, I must give that same liberty to
every other man, remembering that he no
more differs from me than I differ from him.
I advocate the largest liberty in all religious
belief and form of worship. In art, in
jolitics, in morals, and in religion let there
be no gag law, no moving of the previous
question, no persecution, no intolerance.
You know that the air and the water keen
pure by constant circulation, nnd I think
then* is a tendency in religious discussion to
purification and moral health. Between the
Fourth and the Sixteenth centuries the church
proposed to mako people think aright by pro
liibbing discussion and by strong censorship
of the press, and by rock, and gibbet, and
lot lead down the throat, tried to make peo
ple ortho-lox; but it was discovered that you
cannot change a man s belief by twisting
oT Ins head, nnd that you cannot make a man
fv-e things differently by putting an awl
through his eyes. There is something in a
man’s which will hurl off the
mountain that you throw upon it, nnd, un
hinged of the lire, out of the flame will make
rod wings on which the martyr will mount to
glory.
In that time of which I speak, between the
Fourth and Sixteenth centuries, people went
from the house of God into the most appal
ling iniquity, and right along by consecrated
nlt irs tnere were tides of drunkenness and
licentiousness such as the world never heard
of. and the very sewers of perdition broke
loose an.l flooded the church. After a while
the printing press was freed, and it broke the
shackles of tho human mind. Then there
came a large number of bad books, but where
there was one man hostile to the Christian
religion there were twenty men ready to ad
vocate it; so I have not any nervousness in
regard so this battle going on between truth
and error.
The truth will conquer just as certainly as
that (iod is stronger than the devil. Let
error run if you only let truth run along
with it. Urged on by skeptic's shout ami
transcendentalist’s spur, let it run. God's
angels of wrath are in hot pursuit, ami
quicker than eagle’s beak catches out a
hawk’s heart God’s vengeance will tear it to
pieces.
1 propose this morning to speak to you of see
tananism—its origin, its evils and its curses.
There are those who would make us think
that this monster, with horns nnd hoofs,
is religion. I shall chase it to its hiding
place, nnd drag it out of the caverns of
darkness and rip off his hide. But I want to
make a distinction lietween bigotry and the
lawful fondness for peculiar religious beliefs
and forms of worship. I have no admiration
for a nothingarian.
In a world of such tremendous vicissitude
and temptation, and with a soul that mast
afler a while stand before a throne of insuf
ferable brightness, in a day when the rock
ing of the mount tins and the flaming of the
heavens and the upheaval of the sea shall be
among the least of the excitements, to give
account for every thought, word, action,
preference ami dislike—that man is mad who
nas no religious preference. But our early
education, our physical temperament, our
mental constitution will very much decide
our form of worship.
A style of psalmody tint may please me
may displease you. Some would like to have
n minister in gown, and lwinds, and surplice,
nnd others prefer to have a minister in plain
citizen's apparel. Some are most impressed
when a little child is presented at the altar
nnd sprinkled with the waters of a holy tone
illctlon “in the name of the Father, an. i "of
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost;" and others
are more impressed when the iienitent comes
•if* out of the river, his garments dripping
with the waters of a baptism which signifies
the washing awav of nn. Let either have
his own way. One man likes no noise in
prayer, not a word, not a whisper. Another
man just as good prefers by gesticulation and
exrlamation to express his devotional aspira
tions. One is just as good as the other.
“Every man fully persuaded in his own
mind.*
I leorge Wliitefield was going over a Quaker
rather roughly for some of his religious senti
ments, and the Quaker said: “George, lam
r.s f hou art: I ain for bringing all men to the
hope of the Gospel; therefore, if thou wilt not
quarrel with me about my broad brim, I will
not quarrel with thee atotit thy black gown.
George, give me thy hand."
1. In tracing out the religion of sectarian
ism, or bigotry, I find that a great deal of it
comes from wrong education in the home
circle. There are parents who do not think
it wrong to caricature and jeer the peculiar
forms of religion in the world and denounce
other sects and other denominations. It is
very often the case that that kind of educa
tion acts lusts opposite to what wag expected,
nnd the children grow up and, after a while !
go and see for themselves; and looking in
tho e churches, and finding that the people
are good there, and they love God and keep
bis < ■-imnandments, by natural reaction they
go and join those very churches. I could
mention the names of prominent ministers of
the go*|iel who spent their whole live* bom
barding other denominations, and who lived
to see their children preach the Gospel in
tho e very denominations. But it is often tin
< H that bigotry starts in a household and
that tho subject of it never recovers. Thers
ore tens of thousands of bigots 10 years old.
I think wvtarianisin and bigotry also rise
from great prominence of any one de
romination in a community. All tbe other
dc’iorninntions are wrong, and his denomina
tion is right because his denomination is the
mo t, wealthy, or the most popular, or the
ITw*t influential, and it is “our" church, and
“our" religious organization,and “our ’ choir,
nnd “our" minister, and the man tosses his
bevd and wonts other denominations to know
their places. It is a great deal better in any
community when the great denominations of
«"hrxl.ioaa.are about equal in power, mxr.di
i'ig side by side for tSe world s conquest.
JLite outside probpcrlty.mere worldly power,
te bo evidence the church Is eecoptetiH
to God. Better* bora with Christ & the
manger than a cathedral with magnificent
harmonies rolling through the long drawn
aisles and an angel from heaven in the pulpit
If there is no Christ in the chancel and no
Christ in the robes. Bigotry is often the child
of ignorance.
You seldom find a man with large intellect
who is a bigot. It is the man who thinks he
knows a great deal but does not. That man
is almost always a bigot. The whole tendency
of education and civilization is to bring a
man out of that kind of state of mind and
heart. There was in the far east a great obe
lisk, and one side of the obelisk was white,
mother side of the obelisk was green, another
tide of the obelisk was blue, and travelers
went and looked at that obelisk, but they did
not walk around it. One man looked at owe
tide, another at another side, and they came
home, each one looking at only one side. And
they happened to meet, the story says, and
they got into a rank quarrel about the color
of that obelisk. One man said it was white,
mother man said it was green, another man
said it was blue, and when they wow in the
very heat of the controversy a more intelli
gent traveler came and said: “Gentlemen. I
have seen that obelisk, and you are all right
Bnd you are all wrong. Why didn't you
walk all around the obelisk?"
Look out for the man who sees only one
side of a religious truth. Look out for the
man who never walks around about these
great theories of God and eternity and the
dead. He will be a bigot inevitably—the
man who only sees one side. There is no
man more to be pitied than he who has in
his head just one idea—no more, no less.
More light, less sectarianism. There is noth
ing that will so soon kill bigotry as sunshine
—God’s sunshine.
11. So I have set before you what I con
sider to be the causes of bigotry. I have set
before yon the origin of this great evil.
What are some of the baleful effects* First
as all it cripples investigation. You are
wrong, and lam right, and that ends it. No
taste for exploration, no spirit of investiga
tion. From the glorious realm of God’s
truth, over which an archangel might tty
from eternity to eternity and not reach the
limit, the man shuts himself out and dies, a
blind mole under a corn shock. It stops all
investigation.
While each denomination of Christians »
to present all the truths of the Bible, it seems
to me that God has given to each denomina
tion an especial mission to give particular
emphasis to some one doctrine; and so the
Calvinistic churches must present the sover
•ignty of God, and the Arminian churches
•mist present man’s free agency, and the
Episcopal churches must present the import
ince of order and solemn ceremony, and the
Baptist churches must present the necessity
[>f ordinances, and the Congregational chnrrb
must present the responsibility of the indi
vidual member, and the Methodist church
must show what holy enthusiasm and hearty
congregational singing can accomplish.
While each denomination of Christians must
set forth all the doctrines of the Bible, I feel
it is especially incumbent upon each denomi
nation to put particular emphasis upon some
one doctrine.
Another great damage done by the secta
rianism and bigotry of the church is that it
disgusts people with the Christian religion.
Now, my friends, the Church of God was
never intended for a war barrack. People
are afraid of a riot. You go down the street
and you see an excitement, and missiles fly
ing through the air, and you hear the shock
of firearms. Do you. the peaceful and in
dustrious citizen, go through that street*
“Oh, no!" you will say, “I’ll go around the
block." Now, men come and look upon this
narrow path to heaven, and sometimes see
the ecclesiastical brickbats flying every
whither, aud they say: “Well, I guess I'll take
the broad road; if it is so rough, and there is
so much sharp shooting on the narrow road, I
guess IH try the broan road. ” *
Francis I. so hated the Lutherans that be
said if he thought there was one drop of
Lutheran blood in his veins he would punc
ture them and let that drop out. Just as tong
as there is so much hostility between denomi
nation and denomination, or between one
protessed Christian and another, or between
one church and another, just so long men
will be disgusted with the Christian religion
and say: T ‘lf that is religion, I want none of
it.”
Again, bigotry and sectarianism do great
damage in the fact that they hinder the tri
umph of the Gospel. Oh, how much wasted
ammunition, how many men of splendid in
tellect have given their whole life to contro
versial disputes, when, if they had given
their life to something practical, they might
have been vastly useful! Buppose this morn
ing, while I speak, there were a common en
emy coming up the bay through the Narrows,
and all the forts arouud New York began to
fire into each other—you would cry oat,
“National suicide! Why don't those fort*
blaze away in one direction, and that against
the common enemy?’ And yet I sometime*
see in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ a
strange thing going on—church against
church, minister against minister, denomina
tion against denomination, firing away into
their own fort, or the fort which ought
to be on the same side, instead of concentrat
ing their energy and giving one mighty and
everlasting volley against the navies of dark
ness riding up through the bay!
I go out sometimes in the summer, and I
find two beehives, and these two hives are in
a quarrel. I come near enough, not to be
stung, but I come just near enough to hear
the controversy, and one beehive says : “That
field of clover is the sweetest," and an
other behive says: ‘That field of
clover is the sweetest.” I come in be
tween them, and I say: “Stop this quarrel: if
you like that field of clover best, go there; if
you like that field of clover best, go there;
but let me tell you that that hive which gets
the most honey is the best hire." So I come
out between the churches of the Lord Jesus
Christ. One denomination of Christiana
•ays : “ That field of Christian doctrine is
best," and another says : “ This field of Chris
tian doctrine is best." Well, I say : “Go
where you get the most honey." That is the
best church which gets the most honey of
Christian grace for the heart, and the most
honey of Christian usefulness for the life.
Besides that, if you want to build op any
denomination, you will never build it up by
trying to pull some other down. Intolerance
never put anything down. How much has
intolerance accomplished, for instant,
against the Methodist Church* For loog
years her ministry were forbidden the pul
pits of Great Britain. Why was it that so
niany of them preached in the fields* Sim
ply because they could not get into the
churches. And the name of the chun h was
given in derision and as a sarcasm. The crit
ics of the church said: “They have no order,
they have no method in? their worship;" and
the critics, therefore, in irony called them
“Methodists."
I am told that in Artor library. New York,
kept as curiosities, there are 707 books and
pamphlets against Methodism. Did intoter
ance stop that church? No; it is either first
or second amid the denominations of Chrte
tendom, her missionary stations in all parte
of the world, her men not only important in
religious trusts, but important also in
secular trusts. Church marching on, and
the more intolerance against it, the faster it
marches.
What did intolerance accomplish against
the Baptist Church? If laughing awn aud
tirade could have destroyed the church it
would not Unlay have a discipte left
The Baptists were hurled out of Horton in
the oldou times. Those who sympathized
with them were confined.and when a petition
was offered asking leniency in their behalf
all men who signed it were indicted. H m in
tolerance stopped the Baptist Church* The
last statistics in regard to it showed about
;m,OOO churches and about J,bio),W) communi
cants. Intolerance never put down an vthing
In England a law was ma-le against the

J&X But now, my Meads, having shown
you the origin of bigotry or e-ctarlanisai, and
having shown you the damage it doe*. I want
briefly to show you how we are to war against
this terrible evil, and I think we ought to
°ur weakness and
mwteSSskrthe°owMnon affairs of life, is it
not possible that see may make mistakes in
regard to our religious affairs? Shall we
take a man by the throat, or by the collar,
because he cannot see religious truths just as
we do? In the light of eternity it will be
found out, I think, there was something
wrong in all our creeds, and something right
in all our ensk But sixe we may make
mistakes in regard to things of the world, do
not let ns he egotistic, and in puffed up as to
have an idm that we cannot make any mis
take in regard to religious theories.' And
then I think we will do a great deni to over
throw the sectarianism from our hearts, and
the sectarianism from the world, by chiefly
enlarging upon those things in whim we
agree rather than those on which we differ.
Now, here is a great Gospel platform. A
man comes up on this side the platform and
says: “I doo’Sbelieve in baby sprinkling."
Shall I sboTe him off! Here is a man coming
up on this ride the pbtffvm. and be says: T
don’t believe in the perseverance of the
saints'* Shall I shove him off? No. I will
■ay: “Do you believe in the fjord Jesus as
your Savior? Do you trust Him for time and
for eternity?* He says: “Yes." “Do you
take Christ for tme and for eternity?"
“Yea" I sav: “Cwne on. brothers; one in
time and one in etemitv; brother now,
brother forever.* Blessed be God for a Gos
pel platform so large that all who receive
Chnrt may stand on it!
I think we may overthrow the severe sec
tarianism and bigotry in nor hearts, and in
the church also, by realizing that all the de
nominations of Chnsteatts have yielded noble
institutions and noble men. There is nothing
that so stirs my soul as this thought. One
denomination yielded a Robert Hall and an
Adooiram Jodson; another yielded a Lati
mer and a Melville: another yielded John
Wesley and the blessed Buminerfie3d, while
our own denomination yielded John Knox
and the Alexanders—men of whom the work!
was not worthv. Now. I say. if we are hon
est and fair-minded men. when we come up
in the presence of such churches and such de
nominations. although they mar be different
from our own. we ought to admire them and
wrought to love and honor them Chureto;
which can produce such men. and such large
hearted charity, and such magnificent mar
tyrdom. ought to win our affV-tioo—at anv
rate, our respect. So com* on. ye

shoulder to sbnnlder we will march for the
world's conquest: for all nations are to be
nved, and God demands that you and I help
doit. Forward, the whole line.
Moreover, we may ah) overthrow the feel
ing of severe sedaranhn by joining other
denominations in Chrirtian wort. I like
when the springtime comes and the anniver
sary occasions begin and all denomination*;
come up on the same platform. That over
throws sectarianism. In the Young Men’s
Christian ssswalka. in the Bible society, in
the Tract society, in the Foreign Missionary
society, shoulder to shoulder all deuomina-
Perhaps I might move forcibly illustrate
this truth by calling your attentiem to an in
cident which took piece fourteen or fifteen
years ago. One Monday morning at about
- o’clock, while her 900 pramgers were sound
asleep in her berths dreaming of home, the
steamer Atlantic crashed into Mars Head.
Five hundred souls in ten minutes landed in
eternity! Oh. what a some! Agonized men
and women running up and down the gang
ways and dufiehtug for the rigging, and the
plunge of the helpless steamer, and the clap
ping of the hand? of the merriles sea over
the drowning and the dead, threw two conti
nents into terror. Bat see this brave quar
termaster pushing out with the life-line until
be gets to the rock; and see these fishermen
gathering up the shipwrecked and tak
ing them into th» cabins and wrapping
their, in the flannels snug and warm: and see
that minister of the Gopfl with three other
men getting into a lifeboat and poshing out
for the wreck, polling away across the surf
and pulling away until they save one more
man, and then getting bark with him to the
shore. Can those men ever forget that night?
And can they ever forget their companion
ship in pent companionship in struggle, oom
ponionchio in awful catastrophe and rescue!
Never' Never; In whatever part of the
earth they meet they will be friends when
they mention the story of that awful night
when the Atlantic struck Mars Hmd.
Well, my friend, our world has gone into a
worse shipwreck. Sin drove it on the rocks.
The old ship has lurched and tossed in the
temrests of six thooumd years. Out with the
lifeline! Ido not care what denomination
carries it. Out with the lifeboat! I do not
care what denomination roars it. Side bv
side in the memory of common hardship-.and
common trials, and common prayers, and
common tears, let re be brothers forever.
We must be. We must be.

Insuring the Babies.
Do you know how many babies—l
mean by that word children over one
year and under twelve—are insured in
this country? There pre 1100,000 such
little ones whose lives are insured for sums
sufficient in most cases merely to bury
them. Four companies carry on this sorl
of business city alone, and thrive
upon it, too. By the terms of these
companies a child cannot be insured until
it is one year old, and the premium in
every case is five cents a week. Those
over seven have the privilege of paying
ten cents a week and doubling the
amount of their policy. If death claims
the child within one year the holder ol
the policy receives sl4, and the payments
are graded after that until in the case ol
a child dying in the twelfth year $133 is
paid. Such a system as this should bcol
as much benefit to poor parents as it evi
dently is to the companies. —New Yorl

Cutting Glass With Sei9sors.
The way in which glass may best bo
cut with scissors is told in the Pottenj
Gazette: Glass may be cut under
water with great ease, to almost any
shape*, with a pair of shears or strong
scissors. Two things arc necessary for
success. First, the glass must be kept
quite level in the water while the scissors
are applied; and secondly, to avoid risk,
it is l»etter to perform the cutting by
taking off small pieces at the corners and
along the edges, and to reduce the shape
gradually to that required. The softer
glasses cut the best, and the scissors
need not be very sharp.

The treatment of many thousands of cases
of those chronic weaknesses and dietrsMing
ailments peculiar to females, at the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. f
has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapt
ing and thoroughly testing remedies for the
cure of woman’s peculiar maladies.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and
valuable experience. Thousands or testimo
nials, received from patients and from physi
cians who have tested it in the more aggra
vated and obstinate cases which bail baffled
their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful
remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of
suffering women. It is not recommended as a
“ cure-all,” but as a most perfect Specific for
woman’s peculiar ailments.
Ah a powerful, invigorating tonic,
it imparts strength to the whole system,
and to the womb nnd its appendages in
particular. For overworked, ‘ worn-out,”
l * run-down,” debilitated teachers, milliners,
dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls,” bouse
keepers, nursing mothers, aud feeble wonwn
generally. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
is the greatest earthly boon, being tinequai*J
as an appetizing cordial and restorative foul.-:.
A« a soothing and
nervine, “Favorite Prescription” is une
qualed mid is invaluable in alloying and sub
duing nervous excitability, irritability, ex
haustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms r.nd
other distressing, nervous symptoms com
monly attendant upon funciionul and organic
disease of the womb. It induces refreshing
sleep and relieves mental anxiety nnd d>
•;pondenoy.
Dr. Pierce’* In; orilr Prescription
is ft legitimate medicine, carefully
compounded by an experienced end skillful
physician, and adapted to woman's delicate
organization. It is purely vegetable in i*s
composition nnd perfectly harmless in its
effects in any condition of the system. For
morning sickness, or nausea, from whatever
cause arising, weak stomach, indigestion, dys
pepsia and kindred symptoms, its use, in email
doses, will urove very beneficial.
“Fnvomo Prescription 99 I* a port,
tivc cure for the most complicated and ob
stinute cases of leucorrhea, excessive flowing,
painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions,
prolapsus, or failing of the womb, weak back,
c ‘female weakness, antcverslon, retroversion,
bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion,
inflammation and ulceration of the womb, in
flammation, pain nnd tenderness in ovaries,
accompanied with “ internal heat.”
As a regulator and promoter of func
tional action, at that critical period of change
from girlhood to womanhood, “Favorite Pre
scription ” is a jierfectly safe remedial agent,
and can produce only good results. It is
equally efficacious and valuable in its effects
when taken for those disorders and derange
ments incident to that later and most critical
period, known as “ The Change of* Life.”
