REV. DR TALMAGE The Eminent Brooklyn Divine's Sun-! day Sermon. Subject: “Palaces in India.” Text. “Who s'orn up violenes anlrob- bery in their palaces,” — Amos {ii., 10. In this day, when vist sums or mones are being given for the redemption of In | dia, I hope to increases the interest in that | great country and aut the same time draw | for all classes of cur people practical les | sons, and go I present this fifth sermon in | the round the world sertes, We step into the ancient eapital of India, the mere pro- | nunciation of its name sending a thrill through the body, mind and soul of alt | those who have ever read its stories of e¢plendor and disaster and prowess—Daslhi, | Before the first historiun Impressed his first word in clay, or out his first word on | marble, or wrote his first word on papyrus, Delhi stood in India, a contemporary of | Babylon and Nineveh, We know that Delhi | existed longer before Christ's time than we | live after His time. Delhi is built on the rains of seven cities, which ruins cover forty | miles, with wrecked temples, broken | fortresses, split tombs, tumble down palaces i and fhe debris of centuries. An archmologist | could profitably spend his life here talking ! with the past through its lips of venerable | masonry. i There are a hundred things here you ouxht to see in this city of Delhi, but three | things vou must see, The first thing I want- od to see was tho Cashmere gate, for that | was the point at which the most wonderful deed of daring which the world has ever | seen was done, That was the turning point | ol the mutiny of 1857, A lady at Delhi put | into my hand an oil painting of about eight- i eon inches square, a picture well executed, | but chiefly valuable for what it repre- | sented. It wus a scene from the time of | mutiny; two horses at mil run, har, nessed to a earriage in which were four persons, 8he said: ‘*‘Those persons on | the front side are my father and mother The young lady on the back seat hold- ing in her arms a baby of my oider sister, and the sel’. My mother, who is fever in tne next room, painted that years ago. The horses are in full run because we are flesing for our lives, My mother is driving, for the reason that father, standing up in the front of his earriage, had to defend us with his gun, as you there soe. He fought our way out and on for many n mile, shooting down the sepoys as we went. We bad somewhat suspected trouble and had become suspicious ol our servants, A prince had requested a private interview with my father, who was editor of the! Delhl Gazette. The prince proposad tol come veiled, so that no one might recog nize him, but my mother insisted on being present, and the interview did not take! placa. A large fish had been sent to our | family and four other families, the present an offering of thafiks forthe King's recovery | from a recent sickness. But we suspected | poison and did not eat tha fish, ‘One day all our servants came np and said they must go and see what was the matter. | We saw what was intended and knew that if the servants returned they would murder all Things grow e and worse until f flight shown you in the piet You horses were wild This was not only because of | 38, but the horses ¥ sepoys, and ropes wa. and the savage of rey ror.’ i i Y was my- | down with a } ie of us, this scene see, the 0&8 the ithe ont IPE TF a # shoul 21 BLED nge made recorded the hero. and approximate ns mn of this fam- ily of Wagentreibers whose flight I am mr tioning.

What fearial odds! Twelve hundred British troops un- covered by any military works, to take a city surrounded by firm and high masonry, on the top of which were 114 guns and fended by 40,000 foaming sepoys, A larger | percentage of troops fell hers than in | any great battle I happen to know of. The | Crimean percentage of the tailen was 17.48, | but the percentage of Delbi was 37.9. Yet | that city must be taken, and it can only be taken by such cournge as had never been ro. | oorded in all the annals of bloodshed, Every | charge of the British regiments ngainst the | walls and gates bad been beaten back. The | hyenas of Hindeoism and Mobammedantam howled over the walls, and the English | army could do nothing bat bury their own | dead.
