STUl(i)Y CHEISTIANS. THE TIMES DEMAND MEN AND WO M CN OF HEROIC MOLD. Dr. Talma s a Draws a Moral From tha Ufa of Qaeen Eather Aetire, Earneit. Worklof Christiana Are Needed Now and Always. i ; ICopyiit. 1SDS, by American Press Aaso- WAEnnraTON, Jan. SO. Dr. Talmage hero shoiri the style cf Christian char acter required for the times in which we lire and pleads for more heroics. The text i Esther iv, 14, ' Who know eth whether thou art ccme to the king dom for finch a time as this?" Esther the beautiful was' the wife cf Aharuerus the abominaLle. The time had come fcx her to present a petition to her lnfamona hnshanrl in hehalf of i the Jewish nation, to which she had once belonged. ' She was afraid to un dertake the work lest she should, lose her. own life, but her cousin, Mordecai, who had brought her up, encouraged her with the suggestion that probably she had been raised up of God for that peculiar mission, "Whoknoweth wheth er thou art come, to tho kingdom for such a time as this?" Esther had her God appointed work. You and I have ours. It is my business to tell you what style cf men and wom en yon .ought to bo in order that you meet the demand of the age in which God has cast your lot. So this discourse will not deal with the technicalities, but only . with the practicabilities When two armies have rushed into bat tle, the! officers of either army do not want a philosophical discussion about the chemical properties of human blcod or tho naturo of gunpowder; they want some cno to man the batteries and take out the guns. And now, when all the forces of light and darkness, cf heaven and hell, havo plunged into tho f gbt, it is no time to give ourselves to the den nitions and formulas and technicalities and conventionalities of religion. What we want is practical, earnest, concen trated, 'enthusiastic and triumphant kslp. ArrrreHlT Christianity. ' In the first place, in order to meet the special demand of this age you need to be an unmistakable, aggressive Chris tian. Of half and half Christians we do not want any more. The church cf Jesus Christ will bo better without them. They are the chief obstacle to the church's advancement. I am speaking cf another kind of Christian. All the appliances for your becoming an earnest Christian are at your hand, and there is ernCfrlc, vi JK11 of God 'a forgiveness, oumay a straight path for you into the broad this. moment bo the bondmen cf the world, and tho next ' moment you may be princes cf the Lord God Almighty. You remember what excitement there was in this country years ago when the Prince of Wales came here how the people rushed out by hundreds of thou sands to see him. Why? Because they expected that; some day. he would sit upon tho throne of England. But vhat was all that honor compared with the honor to which' God calls you to be sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty, yea; toi be queens and kings unto God? " iney; snail reign witnnini forever and forever"." . But you need to be aggressive Chris tians, and not like those persons who spend their lives in hugging their Chris tian graces and wondering why they do not make progress. How much robust ness cf health would a man have if he hid himself in' a dark closet? A great dealcl the piety cf today is too exclu sive. It hides itself. It needs more fresh air, more outdoor exercise. There are many Christians who are giving their. entire life to! self examination. They are feeling their pulses to see what is tho condition cf their spiritual health. How long jwrjuld a man have robust physical health' if he kept all tho day feeling his-' pulse instead cf -going cut into active! earnest everyday work? j ; Won't Stand Analysis. I was ence amid the wonderful, be witching cactus growths cf North Car olina. I never was more bewildered with the beauty cf flowers, and "yet when I would take up one of these cac tuses and pull the leaves apart the beau ty was all gene. You could hardly tell that it had ever been a flower. And there are a great many Christian people in this day just pulling apart their Chris tian experiences to see what there is in them,! and there is nothing left in them, ibis style ox sen examination is a damage instead cf an advantage to their Christian character. I remember when I was a boy I used to have a small piece in the garden that I called my own, and I planted corn there, and every few days I would pull it up to see how fast it wad growing. Now, there are a great many; Christian people in this day whose self examination merely amounts to the pulling up cf that which they only yesterday or the day before plant ed. Oh, my friends, if you want to have a stalwart Christiaa character, plant it right out of doors in the great field of Christian usefulness, and though storms may come upen it, and, though the hot sun of trial may try to consume it, it will thrive until it becomes a great tree in which the fowls cf heaven may have their habitation. I have no patience with these flowerpot Christiana They 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 useful ness. : What we want in the. church cf God is more strength of piety. The cen tury plant is wonderfully suggestive and wonderfully beautiful, but I never look at it without thinking of its parsimony. It lets whole generations go by before it puts forth '- -Morn T JJVrl y mere ad"' i tears ir . they frie v w man life now has an average cf only 83 years. J From those 33 years you must ruttratt all the time you take for sleep and the taking of food and recreation. That will leave yon about 16 years. .From these 16 yon must subtract all the H time that yon are necessarily engaged in the earning cf a livelihood. That will leave you about eight years. From these eight years you must take all the days and weeks and months all the length of tiinfe that is passed in sickness leav ing yon about cne year in which to work for God. ' Oh, my soul, wake up! Hew darest thon sleep in harvest timer and with so few hours in which to reap? So thdt I state it as a simple fact that all the time that the vast majority of : - - J il i m ! you wui nave ior ice exclusive service of Cod will be less than cnejear. j Shirking; JlesponaibUity. "But, 'I says some man, I liberally support the gospel, nd the church is j open, and the gospel is preached, all the j spiritual advantages are spread Deicre i men. &nd if thpv want to he Raved let i themj come and be saved, I have dis charged all my responsibility."

They sfioffed at is no! time for inertia when all the forces him and said, "Yon are a' hypocrite; of darkness seem to be in full blast : Jon are as bad as ever you weref" Still when steam printing presses are pub- he I kept his faith in Christ, and after lisliing inndei tracts, wnen express trains are Carrying messengers of sin, when fast clippers are laden with opium and strong drink, when the night air of our Cities is polluted with the laughter thatjbreaks up from the 10,000 saloons of dissipation and abandonment, when the fires of the second death already are kindled in the cheeks cf some who only a Utile while ago were incorrupt. Oh, never since the curse fell upon the earth has there been a time when it was such an unwise, such a crusl, tuoh aa awfal thing for the church to sleep. The great audiences are not gathered in Christian churches; the great audiences are gath ered in temples of sin tears of unutter able woe their baptism, the blood of crushed hearts the awful wine of their sacrament, blasphemies their litany, and the groans of the lost world the organ dirge cf their worship , Avoid Kecklesa Iconoclaam. Again, if you want to be qualified to meet the duties which this age demands of you you must on the cne hand avoid reckless iconoclasm and on the other hand not stick too much to things be cause they are old. The" air is full o new plans, new projects, new theories of government, new theologies; and 1 am amazed to see how so many Chris tians Want only novelty- in order to recommend a thing to their confidence, and so they vacillate and swing to and fro.! and tney are useless and tney are unhappy. New plans secular, ethical philosophical, religious, cisatlantic, transatlantic long enough to make line reaching from the Uerman univer sities to Great Salt Lake city. Ah, my brother, do not take hold of a thing merely because it is newl Try it by the realities of the judgment day. But, on the; other hand, do not adhere to any thina merely because it is old. There is not a single enterprise of the church or the world but has some time been scoffed at. There was a time when men derided even Bible societies, and when a few young men met in Massachusetts and organized the first missionary socie ty ever organized in this country there went laughter and ridicule all around the Christian church. They said the undertaking was preposterous, and so also the. worK or jcsus jurist was as sailed. People cried out :" Who ever heard of such theories cf ethics and government? I Who ever noticed such a style of preaching as Jesus has?" Ezek ielihad talked of mysterious wings and wheels. Here came a man from Caper naum and Gennesaret, and he drew his illustrations from the lakes, from the sand, from the mountain,, from the lilies, from the cornstalks. How the Pharisees scoffed I How Herod derided 1 Arid this Jesus they plucked ty the beird, arid they spat in his face, and they called him "this fellow." All tho exeat enterprises in and out of the church have at times been scoffed at. 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 out1 cf the old rut And so there are those who have no patience with anything like improvement in church architecture or with anything like good, hearty, earnest church sing ing, and they deride any form cf reli gious discussion which goes down walk ing among everyday men rather than thit which makes an excursion on rhe torical stilts. Oh, that the church of God would wake up to an adaptability of work. We must admit the simple fact that the churches of Jesus Christ in this day do not reach the great masses. There are 0,000 people in Edinburgh whomever hear the gospels There are 1.000,000 people in London who never hear the gospel. The great majority cf the in habitants cf this capital come net un der the immediate ministrations of Christ's truth, and the church of God in -this day, instead of being a place full cf Uiviug epistles, known and read of all men, is more like a dead letter post- cfSce. - ' Work Is deeded. 'But,' say the people, "the world is going to be converted. ' You must be pa tient. The kingdoms cf this world are to? become the kingdoms of Christ'. Never, unless the church of Jesus djVif T'ts on more eryoo-..-.- -i until from exhaustion and starvation they will have to give up." Weeks and months, perhaps a year, pass along, and finally the fortress surrenders through that starvation and jexhaustion. But, my I friends, the fortresses of sin are never to he taken in that way. jlf they are: taken for God, t will be by storm. You will have to siege guns of the bring up the great gospel to the very wall and wheel the: flying artillery into lin, and when the: armed infantry of heaven shall confront the battlements you will have: to give the quick com mand: "Forward 1 Charge T J Ah, my friends, there is work tor you to do and for me to do in order I to this grand accomplishment.

He could neither read nor write, but he was a man of God. Often theologians would stop in the house grave theologians and at family prayer Peter Croy would be I called upon ; to lead, and' sill those wise men sat around, wonder struck a his religious efficiency. When he! prayed he reached up arid seemed to take hold of the very throne of the Almigiity, and he talked with God until the very heav ens were bowed down into the; sitting room. Oh, if I! were dying 1 1 would rather have plain Peter Croy kneel by my bedside and commend my immorta spirit to ! God than the greatest arch bishop arrayed in costly canonicals. Go greach this gospelJ You say y6u are not licensed. I In the name of the Lord Al mighty, I license you. Go preach this gospel, preach it in the Sabbath schools, in; the prayer meetings, in the high ways, in the hedges. Woe be tin to y ou 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 truthjand the overthrow of wickedness. How flare the Christian church ever get discouraged? Have we not the Lord Almighty on our side? How long did it take' God to ! .a j at I' ft I l !

How long will it take God, when he once arises in his strength, to overthrow all the forces of . iniquity? : Between this time and that there may be long seasons of darkness and ithe chariot wheels of God's gospel may seem to drag heavily, but here is the promise and yonder is a i -m I ' 1 I t ' tne inrone. ana wnen omniscience uus lost its eyesight arid omnipotence falls back impotent and Jehovah is driven from his throne! then the church of Jesus Christ can afford to be despondent, but never until then. 1 Despots may plan and armies may march and the congresses of the! nations may seem to think they are adjusting all the affairs cf the jsvorld, but the mighty men of the earth are 6nly the dust of the chariot wheels of God's providence.

If financial centers were judged by the number of banks, a man might be pardoned -for supposing that Mulberry street was bigger than Wall street. In six blocks in Mulberry street there aro'30 banks. That is an average of fivo banks to the block, and these six blocks are in the humblest part of the street too.. ; ' ' ;.; : J. There are more banks in Mulber ry street than there are saloons. In these same six blocks where there -are SO banks there are only 11 sa loons, or an average of a little more than twoto a block, and it is pretty taf to say that ia Mulberry street tho banks get more of the money of the laboring man than the saloons. Mulberry street is probably tho only place in the Country where the bank ing business and the saloon business go hand in hand too. Of the 14 sa loons in these six blocks no fewer than seven are also banking houses The saloon occupies one half of the stores and the bank the other half, On the saloon side the window is filled up with bottles with gaudy labels and with whisky and beer signs. On the bank side the wide window sill, is covered, and in.some instances is piled high, with bank notes and money. The proprietor occupies a place inside tho bank window, and attends to the banking business, and the bartender on the other side attends to the saloon busi ness. : . , All the Italian banks seek to draw Customers by an ostentatious show of wealth. A pile of money in the window is the first requisite of a successful banking business in Mul berry street, and in the windoyv of every one of the 30 banks in the six blocks referred to there is a pile cf money. The bankers resort to all manner or cievjces. to mane piles look bigger. Some of, them crumple the bank notes up so that they oc- cupy more room, others duiiu up a mound of papers and then cover it with $5 and $10 bills so that the whole pile looks like money. In this way a couploof hundred dollars can be made to look likei a couple; of hundred thousand. .Another device is to cut strips of paper of the size of bank notes, daub the fedges green, and then use the strips as fillings for packages of notes. Half a dozen real bills are then put on top and half a dozen on the bottom of I each package.
