REV. DR. TALMAGE. The Brooklyn Divine’s Sunday sermon. ®hijeot: “Bricks Without Straw." Text: “The Burden of Egypt” Isaiah xix. 1. What is all this excitement about in the streets of Cairo, Egypt, this December morning in 1880? Stand back! We hear joud voices and see the crowds of people re. treating to the sides of the street. The ex | eitement of others becomes our own excite. | ment. Footmen come in sight, They have | a rod in the hand and tasseled cap on head, and their arms and feet are bare, Their garb is black to the waist,except as threaded with gold, and the rest is white, They are clearing the way for an official dignitary in a chariot or carriage. They are swift, and sometimes run thirty forty miles at a stretch in front of an equipase. Make way! They are the fleetest footed men on earth, but soon die the human frame was not made [or such endurance, 1 asked all around me woo the man in the earriage was, but no one seemed to know, Yet as I fell back with the rest to the wail [ said, This is the old custom found all up and down the Bible, footwen running before the rulers, demanding obeisance, as in Genesis before Joseph's chariot the people ware come manded, ‘Bow the knea;” and as 1 ses the swift feet of the men followed by the swilt feet of the horses, how those old words of Jeremiah rushed through my mind, “If thou bast run with the footmen and they have wearied thee, how canst thou contend with horses?’ Now, my hearers, in this course of sermons 1 am only serving you as footman, and clear. ing the way for your coming into the wonders of Egyptology, a subject that I would have vou study far beyond anything | that can be said in the brevity of pul | pit utterance. Two bundred and eighiy- nine times does the Bible refer to Egypt and the Egyotians. No wonder, for Egypt was the mother of nations. Egypt, the mother of Greece: Greece, the mother of Rome; Rowe, the mother of England, the mother | of our land. According to tuat, Egypt is | our great-great-grandmolner On other Sabbaths I lefts you studying what they must have been in their glory; the Hypostyle ball of haruae, the archi- tectural miracles of Luxor, the Colonnade of Horemheb, the of Memphis, the Sphinx, whica wi of stone sj Jona enough t i the © ries, Heliog conandrun arcbeol extravag of palace nonument was she cause as heaven and of those any On wn ug n {i mixed or for camelaries 1 3ps Hr iis and 2 ook i ois gasen “igus irs NADH ANA AMA DNry mm, no pome down nn or angel worthy to atiend man or woman thea OLBPQN 0%, Tha oh'ld grows un and goes out and stud. jos the horrors of Egy tian oppression and sup hiz indi:nation, for the Te 1% time has not coma, aithon rh once fora min ute he let iv, and when he saw a tascmas.or put the whip on the back of a wor<man wan was doing his best, and hear i the poor fel low ery ani saw the blood spurt, Moses doubled up his fist an! struck him on tue temp & till t= oruel villain rolls over in the sand exanimate ani never swung the lash again, Served him rivht!

Its disciples must always wash bee fore thoy pray, and that is five times a day. A commendable grace is cleanliness. Strong drink is positively forbidden by Mohamines danism, and though some may have seen a I never saw one, IS is a religion of sobriety. Then they are not ashamed of their devotions. When the eall for prayers is sounded from the minarets the Mohammedan immediately unrolls the mm on the ground and falls on his knees, an crowds of spectators are to him no embare rassment—roproof to many a Christian who omits his prayers if people are looking. But Mohammedaniem, with its polye- amy, blights everything it touches. On hammed, its 1 sr, had four wives, and followers are the enemies of good womanhood, Mohammaedanissm puts | ourse on ail and by setting up a sine frail Arab higher than the immaculate Chri fs an overwhelmning blasphemy.

When the rod is clear through, she sonds the shuttle along the same line of march, leaving a trail of wooden yarn behind to be seized on by the warp as soon as the rod is withdrawn, The rod insertion is then repeated, taking care, however, to give the warp the reverse side this time of the red.
