from i;--"V ther will not be a beinar on this
earth that knew we ever lived.
In some old family record a des-endant
studying up the arc -stral lin may ?p?ll out
our name, and from the nearly faded ink,
with j?re.at effort, find that some person of
our name was born somewhere between 1810
and is:0. but they will know no more about
us than wo knov iibout tho color of a child's
eves born l ist nij?ht in a village in Pata
gonia. Tell me something about your ;?reat
gran dfather. What were his features? What
did ho do? What year was he born? What
vear did he die? And your great-grandmother.
Will you describe tho style of the
net she wore, anl how did she and your
great-grandfather et on in each other's
companionship? Was it March weather or
June?
Oblivion ! That mountain surge rolls over
everything. Even the pyramids are dying.
Not ti day passes but there is chiseled off a
chip of that granite. The sea is triumphing
over the land, and what is goin ? on at Coney
Island is going on all around t'uo world, an i
t e continents are crumbling into the waves,
nnd while this is transpiring on the outside
of the world the hot chisel of the eternal tiro
is digging under the foundation of tho earth
and cutting its way out to war I the surface.
It surprises mo to hear people say they do
not think tho world will finally be burned
up, when all scientists will tell you that it
has for ages been on fire. Why, there is only
a crust between us and the furnaces inside
raging to get out.
Oblivion! The world itself will roll into
it as easily ns a schoolboy's india rubber ball
rolls down a hill, an I when our world kojs
it i so interlocked by the law of gravitation
with other worlds that they win go, too. an i
so far from having our memory perpetuated
by a monument ot AOerueen granue in nu
world there is no world in fight of our
strongest telescope that will be a sure pedi
ment for any slab of commemoration of the
fact that we ever lived or diod at all. Our
earth is struck with death. The axletrea of
the constellations will break aud let down
tho population of other worlds. tenar,
lunar solar mortality. Oblivion! It can
swallow and will swallow whole galaxies of
worlds as easily as a crocodile takes down
a frog.
Yet oblivion does not remove or swallow
anvthin" that had better not bo removed or
(swallowed. The old monster is welcome to
his meal This world would long ago have
been ovcrcrowde I if it ha I not be mi for tin
merciful removal of Nations anl genera
tions. What if all the books had lived th it
were ever wrttten and printed and pub
lished? The libraries would by their im
mensitv have obstructed intelligence) anl
made ali research impossible. Tho fatal
epidemic of books was a merciful epidemic.
M;rnv of the State and National libraries
to-dav" are only morgues in which dead
books are waitin for some one to coaie an I
recogui.o them. What if all the people
that had been born were etill alive? We
would have been elbowed by our ancestors
of ten centuries ago, and people who ought
to have said their lat word :$003 years ngo
would snarl at us, saying. "What are you
doing here?" Tnere would have been no
room to turn around. Some of the past
generations of mankind were not worth re
membering. The ttrst useful thing that
many people did was to die, tlieir cradle a
misfortune, and their grave a boon.
Tnis worf 1 was hardly a comfortable place
to live in before the middle of the last cen
tury. S. many things nave come into th!
world that were not fit to stay in. we onght
to begla I they were put out. The waters ol
Tjcthe. the fountain of forget fulness, are a
healthful draft. The history we have of the
world in ages past is always one sided and
cannot be depended on. II istory is fiction
illustrated by a few straggling facts. In all
the Pantheon the weakest goddess is Clio,
the go bless of history, and instead ot being
represented by sculptors as holding a scroll
might better bo representel as limping on
crutches,
rnrrhrtii ntstory is tne saving of a few
things out of more things lost. The immor
tality that comes froai pomp of obsequies, or
granite shaft, or building nmiel fitter its
founder, or pag'-) of recognition in some en
cyclopedia is at immortality unworthy of
one s ambition, for it will cease and H no dm
mortaTHr at all. Oblivion! A hrJndrel
year; But whilo t recognize this universal
submergence of things eaf.hly who wants to
be forgotten? Not One Of us.
Absent for a few we. ks or months from
home, it cheers us to know that we are re-memb-red
there. It is a phrase we have all
pronounced, "I hope you missed mo." Meet
ing some friends from whom we have been
parted nlany year.-, we inquire, "Did you
ever aee me before?" and they say, -'Yes,"
anl call ut by name, and we fe"i ft delight
ful sensation thrilling through their hand
into our han 1, an 1 running up frOoi elbow
to shoulder, and then parting, the one eur-
rept of delight asceti ling to the brow and
the other descending to the foot( moving
rouu l an 1 round in concentric; circles until
'.very narvo an I mu5cl" and capacity of body
and mind an I soul is permeated with de
light. A row lays ago, visiting the place of my
boyhood, I met one whom I had not su
;iu"e we playe I together at tea years of age.
m l I had peculiar pleasure irt puzzling him
i little .as to who I wis. and I cart hardly de
scribe the sensation as after awhile lie mum
ble 1 out: "Let mi see. Yes, yod are D)
Witt." We all like to be remembered.
Now, I have to tell you that this oblivion
of Which I have spoken has its defeats, and
that there is no more reason why we should
riot bo distinctly and vividly and gloriously
remembered five hundred million billion
trillion quadrillion quintillion years from
aow than that we should be remenibere I six
weeks. I am going to tell you how thetbin ?
Jan be done and will be done.
We may btldd this "everlasting re-nem-Dranee,"
as my text styles it, into the super
nal existence of thosi to whom wo do kin i-ne.ss-s
in tnis worio. iou must remember
that this inlirm and treacherous faculty
which we now call memory is in the future
state to be complete and perfect. "Ever
lasting remembrance!" Nothing will sbp
the stout grip of that celestial facultv. Did
you heip a widow pay her rent? Did you
Ilnd for that man released from prison a
place to get, honest work? Did you pickup
a child fallen on the curbstone, and by a
stick of candy put in his hand stop tho hurt
on his scratched knee? Did you .assure a
business man, swamped by the stringency of
tho mon"y market, that times would after
awhile be betterv
Did you lead a Magdalen of the street into
a midnight mission, where the Lord said to
her : "Neither do I condemn thee ; go and sin
no more?" Did you tell a man, clear dis
couraged in his waywardness and hopeless
and plotting suicide, that for him was near
by a laver in which he might wash, and a
coronet of eternal blessedness ho might
wear?
What are epitaphs in graveyards, what arg
oulogiums in presence of those whose breath
is in their nostrils, what are unrea l biogra
phies in the alcoves of city library, com
pared with the imperishable records you
have made in the illumined memories of
those to whom you did such kindnesses?
Forget them? They cannot forget them.
Notwithstanding all their might and splen
dor, there are some things the glorified of
heaven cannot do, an 1 this is one of them.
They cannot forget an earthly kindness
done. They haye no cutlass to part that
cable. They have no strength to hurl into
oblivion that benefaction.
Has Paul forgotten the inhabitants of
Malta, who extended the island hospitality
when he and cMiors with him had felt, added
lo a shipwreck, the drenching rain and the
sharp cold? H is the victim of the highway
man on tho road to Jericho forgotten the
Good Samaritan with a medicament of oil
and wine and a free ride to tho hostelry?
Have the English soldiers who went up to
Oo 1 from the Crimean battlefields forgotten
Florence Nightingale?
Through all eternity wi'.l the Northern and
Southern soldiers forgot the Northern and
Southern women who administered to the
dying boys in blue and gray after tho awful
fights in Tennessee and Pennsylvania and
Virginia and Georgia, which turned every
house and barn and shed into a hospital, and
incarnadined the Susquehanna, nnd tho
James, and the Chattahoochee, and the Sa
vannah with brave blood V The kindnesses
you do to others will stand as long in the ap
preciation of others as the gates of heaven
will stand, as the "House of Many Mansions"'
wi'.l stand, as long as the throne of Go I will
stand
Another defeat of oblivion will be found
in the character of those whom wo rescue,
uplift or save. Character is eternal. Sup
pose by a right influence we aid iu trans
tonning a bad man into a goo I man. a dol
orous man into a happy man, a disheartened
man into a courageous man every stroke ol
that work done will be immortalized. There
may n-ver be so much .as one line in a news
paper regarding it, or no mortal tongue may
ever whisper it into human ear, but waere
everthat soul shall go your work upon it
shall go, wherever that soul rises your work
upon it shall rise, aud so long as that soul
will Inst your work on it will last.
Do you suppose there will ever come such
an idiotic lapse in the history of that soul in
heaven that it shall forget that you invited
him to Christ ; that you, by prayer or gospel
word, turne I him round from the wrong way
to the right way? No su :!i insanity will over
smito a heavenly citizen. Ir is not half as
well on earth known that Christopher Wren
planned and built St. Taul's as it will be
known in all heaven that you were tho in
strumentality of building a temple for the
sky.
We teach a Sabbath class, or put a Chris
tian tract in the hand of a patserby, or tes
tify for Christ in a prayer meeting, or preach
a sermon, nnd go home discouraged, as
though nothing had been accomplished, when
we had been character building with a ma
terial that no frost or earthquake or rolling
of the centuries can damage or briny" dowis.
There is no sublimer art in the wond thai
architecture. With pencil and rule nd imm
p ass the architect sits down alone aud in si
lence, and evolves from his own brain a ca
thedral, or a National capitol, or a massive
home before he leaves that table, an I then he
goes out and unrolls his plans, and calls car
penters and masons and artisans of all sorts
to execute his design, and when it is finished
he walks around the vast structure an 1 sees
the completion of the work with high satis-
faetion, and on a stone at some corner of the
building the architect's name may be chiseled.
But tho storms do their work, and time, that
takes down everything, will yet take down
that structure until there shall not be one
,toue left upon another.
But there is a soul in heaven. Through
your instrumentality it was put ther- Un
der Go is grace you are the architect of its
eternal happiness. Y'our name is written, not
on one corner of its nature, but inwrought
into its every fiber and energy. Will tho
storms of winter wash out tho story ot what
you have wrought upon that spiritual struc
ture? No. There are no storms in that land,
and there is no winter. Will time wear out
the inscription which shows your fidelity?
No. Time is past, and it is an everlasting
now. Built into tho foundation of that imper
ishable structure, built into its pillars, bunt
into its capstone, is your name either tho
name you hnvo on earth or the name by
which celestials shall call you.
I know the Bible says in on? plaee that
Go 1 is a jealous Go 1. but that refers to the
work of those who worship so.no other go I.
A true father is not jealous of his ehiM.
With what glee you show the picture your
child penciled, or a toy ship your child
hewed out, or recite the noble deed your
ililM accomplished! And Go' never was
lealous of a Joshua, never was jealous of a
r.anl. never was jealous of a Frances Haver
gal, never was jealous of a man or woman
who tried to heal wounds and wipe away
tears and lift burdens and save souls,
aud while all is of grace, and your seP
abnegating utterance will be. "Not unto
us, not unto us. but unto Thy name,
O Lord, give glory !' you shall always
feel a heavenly satisfaction in every
good thing you did on earth, and if ieono
elasni. borne irom beneath, should break
through the gates of heaven and efface one
record of your earthly fidelity, methinks
Christ would take one of the nails of His
own cross and write somewhere on the crys
tal, or the amethyst, or the jacinth, or the
chrsoprHSus, your name and just under it
the inscription of my text, "The righteous
shall be held in everlasting remembrance."
Oh, this character building ! You and I
are every moment busy in that tremendous
occupation. You are making me better or
worse, and I am making you better or worse.
and we Sfiall through all eternity bear tbo
mark Of thi'3 benediction or blasting.
W Others havotiie thrones ot heaven
those who have more mightily wrought for
God and tho truth but it will be heaven
enough for you and me if ever and anon we
met some radiant soul on the boulevards of
the great city who shall say . "You hdted
me one. You encouraged me When I was
iri earthly struggle. I did not know that I
would have reached thishining place had it
not been for yod." And We will laugh with
heavenly g!e and say : "Ha! ha! Do yod
really remember that taik? Do yotl remem
ber that warning? Do you remember that
Christian invitation? What a memory you
have ! Why, that must have been down there
in Brooklyn or Nw Orleans at lenst ten
thousand million years ago.' And the an
swer will le, "Yes, it was a3 long as that,
but I remember it as Well as though it were
yesterday,"
Oh, this character building! The structure
lasting independent of passing centuries, in
dependent of crumbling mausoleums, in'
peudent Of the whole planetary system. Aye,
If the material universe. Which seems all
bound together like one piece of machinery,
should some day meet with an accident that
should send worlds crashing into each other
like telescoped railway trains, and all the
wheels of constellations and galaxies should
stop, and down into one chasm of immensity
all the suns and moon? and stars should
tumble like the midnight express at Ashta
bula, that would not touch us and would not
hitrt God, for God is a spirit, and character
and memory are Immortal, and over that
grave of a wrecked material universe might
truthfully be written, "The righteous shall
be held in everlasting remembrance,"
O, Time, we defy thee! O, Death, we
stamp thee in the dust of thine own sepul
chers ! O, Eternity, roll on till the last star
has stopped rotating, and the last sun is ex
tinguished on the sapphire pathway, and
the last moon has illumined the last night,
and as many years have passed as all tho
scribes that ever took pen could describe by
as many figures as they could write in all the
cetitUrfeS of all time, but thou shall have no
power to tifTafe from any soul in glory the
memory of anything" wo have done to bring
it to God and heaven !
There is another and a more complete tie
feat for oblivion, and that is in the heart of
God himself. You have seen a sailor roll rir,
nts sleeve and show you his arm tattooed
with the figure of a favorite sliip perhaps
the first one in which ho ever sailed. You
have seen a soldier roll up his sleeve and
show you his arm tattooed with the figure
of a fortress which he was garrisoned, or
tho face of a great general under whom ho
fought. Yoit have seen many a hand tat
tooed with the face of a loved ono before or
after marriage.
This tattooing is almost as old as the world.
It is some colored liquid punctured into the
flesh so indelibly that nothing can Wash it
out. It may have been there fifty years, but
when the man goes into his coffin that pic
ture will go with him on hand or arm. Now,
God Sf ys that he has tattooed us upon his
hands. There can be no other meaning in
the forty-ninth charter of Isaiah, where God
says. "Behold, I have graven thee on the
palms of my hands !"
It was as much as to say . "I cannot open
My hand to help, but I think of yon. I can
not spread abroad My hand3 to bless, but I
think of you. Wherever I go up and down
the heavens I take these two pictures of vou
with Me. They are so inwrought into My
being that I cannot lose them. As long as
My hands last the memory of you will last.
Not on the back of My hands, as though to
announce you to others, but on tho palms of
My hands for Myself to look at and study
and love. Not on the palm of one hand
alone, but on the palms of both hands, for
while I am looking upon one hand and think
ing of you, I must have the other hand free
to protect you. free to strike back your
enemy, free to lift if you fall. Palms of Mv
hands indelibly tattooed! Ami though I
hold the winds in My first no cyclone shall
uproot tho inscription of 3-our namo and
your race, and though I hold tho ocean in
the hollow of My hand its billowing shall not
wdsh out the record of My remembrance.
Behold, I have graven thee on the palm? of
My hands.' "
What joy, what honor can there be com
parable to that of being remembered by the
mightiest and kindest and loveliest and ten
derost and most affectionate being in tho
universe? Think of it, to hold an everlasting
place in the heart of God. The heart of God !
The most beautiful palace in tho universe.
Let the archangel build some palace as
grand as that if he can. Let him "nimble up
all the stars of yesternight and to-morrow
night and put them together as mosaics for
such a palace floor. Let him take all the sun
rises and sunsets of all tho days and tho.
auroras of all the nights and hang them as
upholstery at its windows.
Let him take all the rivers, and all the
lakes, and all the oceans, and toss them into
the fountains of this naf ace court. Let him
take all the gold of all the hilis and hang it in
its chandeliers, and all the pearls of all the
seas, and all the diamonds of all the fields,
and with them arch the doorways of that
palace, and then invite into it all the glories
that Esther ever saw at a Persian banquet, or
Daniel ever walked among in Babylonian
castles, or Joseph ever witnessed iu Pharaoh's
thronerooni. and then yourself enter this
castle of arehangelie construction, and see
how poor a palace it is compared with the
greater palace that some of you have already
found in the heart of a loving and pardoning
God. and into which all the music, and all
the prayers, and all the sermonic considera
tions of this day tire trying to introduce you
through the blood of the slain lamb.
Oh, where is oblivion now? From the
dark and overshadowing word that it seemed
when I began, it has become something
which no man or woman or child who loves
the Lord need ever fear. Oblivion defeated.
Oblivion dea 1. Oblivion sepulcliere 1. But
I must not be so hard on that devouring
monster, tor into its grave go ail our sins
when the Lord for Christ's sake has forgiven
them. Just blow a resurrection trumpet
over them when once oblivion has sn ipped
them down. Not one of them rises. Blow
again. Not a stir amid all the pardoned in
iquities ot a lifetime. Bow again. Not one
or them moves In the deep grave, trenches.
But to this powerless resurrection trumpet
a voice responds, half human, half divine,
and it must be pari man an I p irt Go I. say
ing. "Theirsins and their iniquities will I re
member no more."
Tii.ank God for this blesse I oblivion! bo
vou see I did not invite you down into a cel
lar, but upon a throne ; not into the grave
yard to which all materialism isdetmel.
but into a garden all abloom with everlasting
remembrance. The frown of my first text
has become the kiss of the seconl texr. An
nihilation has become coronatiou. The wring
ing han is of a great agony havo become the
clapping hands of a great joy. Tho requiem
with which we began has neeome the grand
march with which we close. The te.ir of
sadness that rolled down our ehecc his
struck the lip on which sits tho laughter oi
eternal triumph.
Chasing the 'Whale by Stentn.
Private dispatehes received in New Bed
ford. Mass., confirming the reports of the un-,
precedented catch of the whaling fleet in tho
Arctic are cheering to the local whaling mer
chants, who had beg n to fear that tho sea
son would prove a failure. The report upto
October 9 was to the effect that out of forty
three vessels in the Arctic, eighteen were
clean. Despite the fact that the season has
leen a phenomenal one. the sailing vessels
have done nothing at all eomp iratlveiy. the
steamers having had all the luck. When the
little tteamer Mary D. Hume took thirty
whales two years ago. the news could scarce
ly le believed. Now the report that the
steamer Narwhal has taken sixty-two whales
is simply wonderful. Add to this the fact
that the Baeiena has taken fifty-two whales,
Ihe Grampus, forty-seva ; the Newport,
thirty-seven : the Ores, twenty-five : the Kar
luek, eighteen ; the Belvidere. seventeen :thJ
Mary D. Hume, fourteen, and the Navareb,
eleven, and the year proves to tie the best in
the history of whaling. The steamers Bae
iena. Grampus. Karluck, Mary 1. Hume an l
Narwhal are still shut in in the Arctic ice,
so these vessels will winter there this year.
