BEV. DR. TALMAGE. The Eminent Brooklyn Divine's Su. day Sermon. Subject: “Tha Truth Absat F Text: “Presumpfuous are they. self- avilled; they are not afraid to speak evil ef dignities.” —11 Pater ii., 10. i Among a most reprehensible crew Pater tassin'' those who delight to slash at peoole in au- thority. Now we all have a right to criti- eise evil behavior, whether in high places or low, but the fact that one is high up is vo roof that he ought to be brought down, $t was in the time of the text a bad streak of human nature, that success of any kind excites the jealous antipathy of thoss wao cannot ciimb the same steap. There never | was a David on the throne that thera was | not some Absalom who wantad to get it. | There never was a Christ but ths worid hat saw and hammer ready to fasbion a vross on witich to assassinate Him. Out of this evil spirit grow not only indi- widual but national and international del- amation. Tono conotry has more injustice | heen done than toour own in days that are past. Long before *'Martin Chuzzlewitt” was printed the literature of the world scoffed at everything American. Victor Hugo, as honest #s he was unequaled in literary power, was so misinformed concerning Amer. fea that he wrote: ** [he most singulair thing i is the neod whi with which all Americans are poiscs It is such that on Sunday they give the sailors iittla bits of | wood, because it they did not they would | whittie the ship. In court, at th: most eritical moment, the judge, whittling, says: “Prisoner, are you guiity? and the ac used tranquilly responds, whittling, ‘Lt am pot guilty.” ” Lord John Russell callel us *‘a bubble bursting nationality.” Butour country has at last recovered from such caricature, and there is not a street in any city of Europe or Asia where the word “America” will not win deference. But there is a sister nation on the other rice of the sea now going through the process of international deiam- ation. There is no country on earth so mis- | understood as Russia, and no monarch mora misrepresented than its emperor. Will it | not be in the cause of justica if I try to set right the minds of those who comp se this | august assemblage and the minds of those whom, on both sides of the ocean, these words shall come? If the slander of one person is wicked, then the siander of ons hundred aad twelve million people is one hundred and twelve million times more wicked. ~ In the name o! rightaousass+, anl in Ralf of civilizatioa, and for the encourags ment of all those gool people who have been disheartened Ly the scaundalizition Russia, I now speak.
