WAsmxGTON, Nov.- 13. To all those
who Teel they have no especial mis
sion in the world, this sermon of Dr
Talmage will come as a cheering rev
elation; text, John xviii, 37, "To this
this end was I born.", '1
After Pilate had gnlcided, tradition
rays that his body was thrown into the
Siber, and such storms ensued on and
about that river that his body was tak
en out and thrown into' the Rhone, and
similar distcrpauces swept tnat river
and its banks. Then the body was taken
out and moved to Lausanne, and put-in
a deeper pool, which immediately be
came the center of similar atmospheric
and aqueous disturbances. Though these
are fanciful and false traditions, they
show the execration with 'which the
world looked upon Pilate. It was be
fore this man when he was in fall life
and power that Christ was arraigned as
in a court cf oyer and terminer. Pilato
said to hi prisoner, "Art thou a king,
then?" and Jesus answered, "To this
end was I born." Sure enough, al
though all earth and hell arose to keep
him down, ho is today empalaced, en
throned and ccroneted king of i earth
and king of heaven. That is what he
came for, and that is what he accom
plished. . r '
Bjf the time a child reaches ten years
of age the parents begin to discover
that child's destiny, but by the time he
or she reaches fifteen years of age the
question is on -tho child's lips: "What
eball I do?.. What am I going to be?
What was I made for?" It is a sensible
and righteous question,! and the . youth
ought to. keep asking.it until it is so
(ally answered that tee young man, or
young woman,' can say with as much
truth as its author, though on a less ex
pansive scale, "To this end was I
born."
There is too much divine skill shown
in tho physical, mental and moral con
stitution of tho ordinary human being
to -suppose that he was-constructed
without any divine purpose. If you
take me out on some vast plain and
show me a pillared temple surmounted
by a dome like St. Peter's, and having
a floor of precious stones and arches
that must have taxed the v brain of the
greatest draftsman to design and walls
scrolled and niched and paneled and
wainscoted and painted, and I should
ask you what this building was put up
for, and you answered, "For nothing
at "all," how could I believe you? And
it is impossible forme to believe that
any ordinary human being who has in
his muscular, nervous and cerebral or
ganization mere wonders than Christo
pher Wren lifted in St Paul's or
Phidias ever chiseled on the Acropolis
and built in 6uch a way that it shall
last long after St. Paul's cathedral is
as much a ruin as the Parthenon that
such a being was constructed for no
purpose and to execute no mission and
without any divine intention toward
some end. The object of this sermon is
to help you to find out what you are
made for and help you find your sphere
and assist you into that condition where
you can cay with certainty and em
phasis and. 'enthusiasm and triumph,
i I
Selecting- an Occupation.
First, I discharge you from all re
sponsibility for most pf your environ
ments. You are not responsible for your
parentage or grandparentage. Yen are
not responsible for any of the cranks
that may have dived in your ancestral
line and who 100 years before you were
born may have lived a style of life that
more or less affects you today. You are
not responsible for the fact that yonr
temperament is sanguine or melancholic
or bilious or lymphatic or nervous.
Neither are you responsible for the
place of your nativity, whether among
the granite hills of New England or the
cotton plantations of Louisiana or cn
the banks of the Clyde or the Dneiper
or the Shannon or the Seine. Neither
are you responsible " for the religion
taught in your father's house, or the
irreligion. .Do not bother yourself about
what you cannot help or about circum
stances that you did not decree.
Take things as they are and decide
the question so that you shall be able
safely td say, "T6 this end was I born. "
How will you decide it? By direct ap
plication to the only Being in the uni
verse who is competent to tell you the
Lord Almighty. Do you know the rea
son why he is the only one who can telli
Because he can see everything between
your cradle and your grave, though the
frave be SO years off, and besides tha
he is the only Being who can see what
has been happening in the last 500 years
in your ancestral line, and for thou-
sands of years clear back to Adam, and
there is not one person in all that an-'
cestral line of 6,000 years but has some
how affected your character, and even
old Adam himself will sometimes turn
up in your disposition. The only Being
who can take all things that pertain to
you into consideration is God, and he is
the one you can ask. Life is so short
we have no time to experiment with oc
cupations and professions. The reason
we have so many dead faildresis that
parents decided for children what they
shall do,- or children j themselves,
wrought cn by some whim or fancy, de
cide for themselves, without any im
ploration of divine guidance. So, we
have now in pulpits, men making ser
mons who ought to be in blacksmith
shops making "plowshares, and we have
in the law those who instead of ruining
the cases of their clients ought to be
pounding shoe lasts, and doctors who
are tne WOrss ninarances . uae
tients' convalescence, and artists trying
to naint landscapes who ought , to bv
whitewashing board fences, while there
i !
ire others making bricks who ought to
be remodeling constitutions or shoving
planes; who ought to be transforming
literatures. Ask God about what world
ly business you shall undertake until
you are' so positive you can in earnest
ness smite your hand on your plow han
dle, or your carpenter's bench, or your
Blackstone's "Commentaries," or your
medical dictionary, or. your Dr. Dick's
"Didactic Theology, " saying, "For this
end was I born.". There are children
who early develop natural affinities for
certain styles cf work. When the father
of the astronomer Forbes was going to
London, he asked his children what
present he should bring each one of
themuj The boy who was to be anastron-'
omer cried out, Bring me a telescope !"
", Aik God's Gitdance.
And there are children whom you
find all by themselves drawing on their
slates; or on paper, slps, or houses, or
birds,! and you know they are to be
draftsmen or architects of some kind.
And you find others ciphering out diffi
cult problems with rare interest and
success, and you know they are to be
mathematicians, i And others making
wheals and strange contrivances, and
you kinow they are going to be machin
ists. HAnd others are found experiment
ing with hoe and plow and sickle, and
you know they will, be farmers. And
others aro always swapping jackkniyes
or balls or bats, and making something
by the bargain, and they are . going to
be merchants.9 When Abbe' de Ranee
had so advanced in studying Greek that
he could translate Anacreon at 12 years
of age, there was no doubt left that he
was intended-' for a scholar. But in al
most every lad, there comes a time
when he does not know what he was
made tor, and his parents do not know,
and it is a crisis that God only can de
cide.; Then there are those born for
some: especial work, and their fitness
does cot develop until quite lata When
Philip Doddridge, whose sermons and
books have harvested uncounted souls
for glory, began, to study for the min
istry; Dr. Calamy, one of the wisest
aad bM boas, advised aias to taia his
thoughts to tome ohr wetk. Isaac
Earrpw, the eminent clergyman and
Christian scientist his books standard
now, jtnougn ne nas been dead over 200
years was the disheartenment of his
father, who used to say that' if it pleas
ed God to take any of his children away
he hoped it might be his son Isaao. So
some of those who have been character
ized for their stupidity in boyhood or
girlhood have turned out the mightiest
benefactors or benefactresses of the hu
man race. These- things being so am I
not right in saying that in many cases
God only knows what is the most ap
propriate thing for you to do, and he is
the one to ask? (And let all parents and
I all phools and all universities and all
colleges recognize
this,
and a large
number of those who spent
their best
years in stumbling about among busi

nesses and occupations,, now trying this

all, would be able to go ahead with a
definite, decided! and' tremendous ' pur

j Path Of Laefnlneaa. x .
But my subject now .mounts into the
momentous. Let me
made for usefulness
say that you are
and heaven. I
judge this fromJ the way you are built
You "go into a shop where there is only
one wheel turning and that by a work
man's foot on a treadle, and you say to
yourself, "Here is something good be
ing done, 'yet on; a small scale, " but if ;
you Jgo into !a j factory covering many
acres! and you 'find thousands . of bands
pulling on thousands of wheels and
shuttles flying and the whole 6cehe be
wildering with! activities, driven by
watef or steam or electric power, you
conclude that the factory was put up
to doj great work . and on a vast scale.
NowJ I look at you, and if I should find
that you had only one faculty of body,
only bne muscle, only one nerve, if you
could see but not hear or could i hear
and ijot see, 'if you had the use of only
one foot or one hand, and, as to youx
higher nature, if you had only one
mental faculty and you had memory
but no judgment or judgment but no
will,! and if you had a soul with only
one capacity, I would say not much is
expected of you. j But stand up, O man,
and 'let me look you squarely in the
face! EyCs capable of seeing every thing.
Ears; capable 1 of hearing everything.
Hand3 capable of grasping everything.
Minds with more wheels than any fac
tory ever turned; more power than an?
Corliss engine ever moved. A soul that
will j outlive all the universe except
heaven, and would outlive . all heaven
if the1 life of the other immortals wers
a moment short of the eternal. Now.
what has the world a right to expect of
you? i, What has God a right to demand
of you? God; is the greatest of econo
mists in the j .universe, and 'he makes
nothing uselessly, and for what purpose
did he build your body, mind and. soul
as they are built? Thera ara'ecly twt
beings in the universe who can answer
that question.! The angels do not know.
The schools do not know.' Your kindred
cannot certainly: know.. God knows,
and ypu ought to know. A factory run
ning at an expense of f 500,000 a year
and turning out goods worth 70 cents a
year would not be such an incongruity
as you. O man, with suchsemi-infinite
equipment doing nothing, or . next to
nothing, in the way of usefulness I
"What shall I do?" you ask. My breth
ren, my sisters, do not' ask me. Ask
God. j I There's j some path of Christian
usefulness open, j It may be a rough
path or it may j be a smootb path, a long
path or a short path. It may be on a
mount of conspicuity or in a valley un
observed, but it is a path on which you
can start with' such faith and such satis
faction and such certainty that you can
crv out in the lice of earth and hell
and heaven, "To 'this end was I born."
j V Graap Opportunity. ' ,
Do cot wait for extraordinary qualifi
cations . Philip, the conqueror, gained
his greatest victories seated on a mule,
