Dr. Tal mace's Eloquent Flea VM Christian Strateffem He Use Gideon! Battle aa a Lesson Pointed " Qosstloaa Vor Mem and Women. Nlw York. Rnt. 20. In his nflrmnn for today Rev. Dr. Talmoge discusses a subject 'which is of special interest to Snndav nnhnnl taanriAr and anhnlara at the present time, being Gideon's battle witn tne Midianites near Mount uilboa. The text chosen was Judges vii, 20, 81 : "And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and hflM th lamna in thnir lpft hands anil the trumpets in their right hands to blow wunaL Ana toey stooa every man in his place round about the camp, and all the host ran and cried and fled." That is the strangest battle ever fought God had told Gideon to bo down and thrash the Midianites, but his army is too large, for the glory must be given to God and not to man. And so proclamation is made that all those of the troops who are cowardly and want to go home may go, and 22,000 of them scampered away, leaving only 10,000 men. But God says the army is too large yet, and so he orders these 10,000 remaining to march down through a stream and commands Gideon to notice in what manner these men drink of the water as they pass through it If they get down on all fours and drink, then they are to be pronoun oed lazy and in competent for the campaign, but if, in passing through the stream, they scoop bp the water in the palm of their hand and drink and pass on they are to be the men selected for the battle. ' Well, the 10,000 men marched down in the stream, and the most of them come down on all fours and p hinge their mouths like a horse or an ox into the Water and drink, but there are 800 men who, instead of stoopinir. just din the palm of their hands in the water and bring it to their lips, "lapping it as a dotr lappeth. " Those 800 brisk., ranid. enthusiastic men are chosen for the campaign. They are each to take a trumpet in the right hand, and a pitcher in the left hand, and a lamp Inside the pitcher, and then at a given signal they are to blow the trumpets, and ' throw down the pitchers, and hold up the lamps. So it was dona It is night I see a sreat host of Mid ianites sound asleep in the valley of JezxeeL Gideon comes no with his 800 picked men, and when everything is ready the signal is given, and they blow the trumpets, and thev throw down the pitchers, and hold up the lamps, and the great host of Jlidianites, waking out of a sound sleen. takit thA mud rf the crockery and the glare of the lamps tor me coming on ox an or erw helming foe, and they run and cut themselves to pieces and horribly perish. The lessons of this subject are very spirited and imnressive. This unnniniT. ly valueless lump of quarts has the pure gold in it The smallest dewdrop on the meadow at nitrht ha a atar sleeping in its bosom, and the most in- ngnmcanc passage ox Scripture has in it a ahinina truth. God's mint orrfna no small change. I learn in the first nlace from this anh joct the lawfulness of Christian strata gem. Yon know very well that the greatest victories ever gained by Wash ington or Napoleon were gained through the fact that they came when and in a way they were not expected sometime falling back to draw out rh frx ran. times breaking out from ambush, some- nines crossing a nver on unheard of rait a, all the time keeping the opposing forces in wonderment as to what would be done next You all know what strateirr ia in mil. itary affairs. Now I think it is high time we had this art sanctified and spir itualized. In the church, when we are about to make a Christian assault. send word to the opposing force when we expect to come, how many troops we have, and howm&nv rounds of Vint and whether we will come with artil lery, infantry or cavalry, and of course we are defeated. There are thousands of men who might be surprised into the Kingdom 01 uod. We need more tact and ingenuity in Christian work. It ia in spiritual affairs as in military, that success depends in attacking that part of the castle which is not armed and intrenched. Draw the Bolt. For instance, here is a man all armed on the doctrine of election. All hia troops of argument and prejudice are at mat particular gate. Yon may batter away at that side of the castle for 50 years, and you will not take it but just wheel your troops to the side gate of the heart's affections, and in five min utes you capture him. I never knew a man to be saved through a brilliant ar gument You cannot hook men into the kingdom of God by the horns of a di lemma, lnere is no grace in syllogisms. Here is a man armed on the snb-innt nf perseverance of the saints. He does not believe in it Attack him at that point and he will persevere to tho n i.et in not believing it Here is a man armed on the subject of baptism. He believes in sprinkling or immersion. All your discussion of ecclesiastical hydropathy will not change him. I remember when I was a boy that with other boys I went into the river on a summer day to bathe, and we used to dash water on each eth er, but never got any result except that our eyes were blinded, and all this splashing of water between Baptists and Pedobaptists never results in any thing but the blurring of the spiritual eyesight In other words, you can never capture a man's soul at the point at which he is especially intrenched. But there is in every man's heart a bolt that can be easily shoved. A little child 4 years old may touch that bolt and it will spring back, and the door will swing open, and Christ will come in. I think that the finest of all the fine arts is the art of doing good, and yet this art is the least cultured. We have In the kingdom pf God today enough troops to conquer the whole earth for Christ if we only had skillful maneuver ing. I would rather have the 800 lamps and pitchers of Christian stratagem than 100,000 drawn swords of literary and ecclesiastical combat Hope In a Pew. I learn from this subject also that a small part of the army of God will have to do all the hard fighting. Gid eon's army was originally composed of 82,000 men, but they went off until there were only 10,000 left, and that was subtracted from until there were only 80 It is the same in all ages of the Chnstian church. A few men have to do the hard fighting. Take a mem bership of 1,000, and you generally find that 60 people do the work. Take a membership of COO, and you generally find that ten people do the work. There are scores of churches where two or three people do the work. We mourn that them ia an .u to uuui uikt less lumber in the mountains of Leban on. I think of the 10,000,000 member ?ALof tbeChri8tian church today if 6,000,000 of the names were off the books the church would be stronger. You know that the more cowards and drones there are in any army the weaker it la. I would rather have the 300 picked men of Gideon than the 82,000 unsifted wsfc How many Christians there are - . standing m tne way ox an tsroeress I 1 think it is the dorr of the church of God to ride over them, and the quicker It does it the Quicker it does its duty, Do not worry, O Christian, if yon have to do more than your share of the he has called you to be one of the picked men ratner tnan to belong to tne nost of stragglers. Would not yon rather be one of the 800 that fight than the 23, 000 that run? X suppose those cowardly Uideonites wno went on congratulated themselves. They said : "We got rid of all that fighting, did not we? , How lucky we have been I That battle costs us nothing at alL " But they got none tt tha mnila nf tVin virtnrr. A ft r tha battle the 800 men went down and took the Wealtn or tne Jlidianites, ana out of the cups and platters of their enemies they feasted. And the time will come, mv riaar riMthran. vhn tha hnata nt darkness will be routed, and Christ will say to his troops: "Well done, my brave men. Go up and take the spoils. Be more than conquerors forever. " And in that An all dAanrtnra will hn shot. A train. I fonrn from thin anhiAnt that God's way i' different from man's, but is always the best way. If we had the planning of that battle, we would have . 1 .1 n . 1 . 1 1 11 ULaeu uiubb e,vw men mat urigmauy belonged to the army, and we would have drilled them and marched them up and down by the day and week and month, and we wonLi have had them equipped with swords or spears, accord- t . M. - A. - A Tt at ing to tne way 01 arming in tnose times, and then we would have marched them down in solid column upon the foe. But that is not the way. God depletes the army, and takes away all their weapons, and trives them a lame and a pitcher, and a trumpet and tells them to go down ana drive out tne Mldiarj ites. I suppose some wiseacres there who said: "That is net military tactics. The idea of 800 men unarmed conquering such a great host of Midian ites!" It was the best war. What sword, sneer or oannon aver amnmnliah ed such a victory as , the lamp, pitcher ana trumpet r Uoa 1 way Is different from man way, but it is always best Take, for instance, the composition of the Bible. If we had had the writing of the Bible, we wouia nave said: "Let one man write it If yon have 20 or 80 men to write a Doem. or make a atatnt. n write a nistory, or make an argument mere win be oaws and contradiction. But God says, "Let not one man do it but 40 men shall do it" And thr ma airxering enough to show there had been no collusion between them, but not contradicting each other on any ixnpor tant point while thev all wtm rWim their own standpoint and temperament. so mat tne matter 01 fact man has his Moses, the romsntia natnr hi. rmU.i the epigrammatic his Solomon, the war rior nis aiosnua. tne sailor his jmih the loving his John, the logician his PauL Instead of this Bible, which now I can lift in my hand Instead of the Bible the child can carry to Sunday school, instead of the little Bible the sailor can put in his jacket when goes to sea if it had been left to men to write it would have been a thousand volumes, judging from the amount of ecclesiastical controversy which has arisen. God's wsy is different from man's, but it is best, infinitely best X Cross, Mo Crow. 80 it is in regard to the Christian' life. If we had had the planning of a Christian's life, we would have said: "Let bim have 80 years of sunshine, a nne nouse to lire in. Let his surround ingsall be agreeable. Let him have sound health. Let no chill shiver through his limbs, no pain ache his brow or trouble shsdow his arm!" I enjoy the prosperity cf others so much I t a . wuuia let every man nave as much money as he wants and roses for his children's cheeks and fountains of gladness glancing in their large round eyes. But that 4s not God's way. It seems as if man must be cut and hit and pounded just in proportion as he Is nan- fuL His child falls from a third story window and has its life dashed out His most confident investment tumble him into bankruptcy. His friends, on whom be depended, aid the natural foree of gravitation in taking him down. His life is a Bull Bun defeat Instead of es.vvv aavantagos be has only 10,000. Aye, only 800 aye, none at aa How many good people there are at their wits' end about their livelihood hrmt their reputation? Bat they will find out it is the best way after awhile. God will show them that he depletes their advantages just for the same reason be depleted the army of Gideon that they may be induced to throw themselves on his mercy. A grapevine says in the early sprinir: How glad I m to get through the winter! I shall have no more trouble now. Summer weather will come, and tne garaen will be very beautifuL" the gardener comes and cuts the vine here and there with his knife. The twigs begin to fall, and the grapevine ones out: Murder I What are you cut ting me for?" "Ah," says the garden er, "i aon t mean to kill you. If I did not do this, yoa would be the lans-hta stock of all the other vines before the season la over." Months go on, and one oay tne gardener comes under the trel lis, where great clusters of grapes bang, and the crapevine un "ThanV m, sir. You could not have done anything so kind M to have cut 'mo with that knife." "Wbon. the Lord lovetb he chasteneth." No pruning, no grape! uugrujuiDg mui, no Hour; no battle, no victory; no cross, no crown. Bo God's way, in the redemption of me wona, is ainerent from ours.
