REV DR. TALMAGE,
The Brooklyn nvines Sunday
Sermon.
Subject : “The Sword of Eleazar,”
Text: “And His hand clave unto fhe
sword.” 11 Samuel xxiil., 10.
A great general of King David was
Eleazar, the hero of the text, The Philis.

troops retreated. The cowards fled. Eleasar
‘and three of his comrades went into the
battle and swept the field, for four men

whole battalion with God against them,
“Fall back shouted the commander of
the Philistine army. The ory ran along the
host, “Fall back!” Eleazar having swept

which he bad so gallantly wielded,
jand clave unto the sword.”
call magnificent fighting for the Lord God
of Israel. And we want more of it,
pose to show you this morning how
gar took hold of the sword and how
the sword took hold of Eleazar., I look at
Bloazar's hand, and 1 come to the conelu-
sion that be took the sword wth a very
tight grip. The cowards who fled bad no
tfouble in dropping their swords. As they
fly over the rocks I hear their swords elang-
ing in every direction. It is easy enotvgh fon
them to drop their swords, But Elcazar's!
band clave unto the sword.
Ob, my friends, in this Christian conflict
we want a tighter grip of the Gospel weap4
obs, a tighter grasp of the two edged sword
the truth. It makes me sad to see these
ristian people who hold only a part of the
truth and let the rest of the truth go, so thats
the Philistines, seeing the loosened grasp,
wrench the whole sword away from them.|
The only safe thing for us to do is to put oun

Ww deaply into the palm of his hand it could

go into Christian conflict with the spirit of
lf abnegation. Who cares whether the
world praises us of denounces us® What do
we care for misrepresentalion, or abuse or
persecution in a conflict like this? Let us
torget ourselves, That man who is afraid of
getting his hand hart will never kill a Philis-
time. Who cures whether you get hurt or
aot if you get the victory?! Oh, how many

We know what men accomplish under
wordly opposition. Men de not shrink baclk
from antagonism or for hardship. You have

written; but some of you may not know uns
der what disadvantages it was written —thaf

for worldly knowledge and for worldly suo-

Suicide Statisties.
Ths grim subject of
stantly being forced upon the attention
of New Yorkers. The uaily papers fre.
quently report as many as a dozen cases
of suicide or attempted suicide within
| twenty fours snd the num
ber of reported cases no means
represent the number of cases that
| occur. There is a law on the
statute books which makes attempted
suicide a felony. On referring to stalis-
tics I find that the maximum rate of
suicides in New York during the last
eighty years was in 1808 when there was
one suicide to every 3017 inhabitants,
The minimum ratio was in 1864, when
there was one suicide in every 28 827
inhabitants. The largest number of
| suicides among males occurred between
the ages of thirty-five and forty, and
among females between thirty and thirty.

| number of suicides use poison.—New

The recently completed census of the
i Sandwich Islands shows the same decline
in the population that has been mani

were first discovered, in 1778, by Cap-
tain Cook, he estimated the population
at 400,000. The first official censas was
taken more than fifty years afterward,
and showed a population then of 130,.
513. In 1853 there were but TL 019;
and the present number is 34,436. In
less than sixty years the population has
