REV. DR. TALMAGE.
The Eminent: Washington Divine's
Sunday Sermon.
Subject: “Our Debt to the Greeks.”
Text: “I am debtor both to the Greeks
and to the barbarians.” Homans §,, 14,
At this time, when that behemoth of
abominations, Mohammedanism, after hay-
ing porged itself on the carcasses of 100,000
Armenians, is trying to put ita paws upon
one of the fairest of all nations, that of the
tireeks, I preach this sermon cf sympathy
and protest, for every intelligent person on
this side, like Panl, who wrote the text, is
debtor to the Greeks, The present erisis is
emphasized by the guns of the Allied Powers
of Europe, ready to be unlimbered against
the Hellenes, and I am asked to speak out,
Paul, with a master intellect of the ages,
sat in britliant Corinth, the great Acro-
Corinthus fortress frowning from the height
of 1888 feet, and in the house of Gafus,
where he was a guest, a big pile of money
near him, which he was taking to Jerusalem
for the poor.
In this letter to the Romane, which Ohry-
sostom admired so much that he had it read
0 him twice a week, Paul practioally says:
“I, the apostle, am bankrupt. I owe what I
cannot pay, but I will pay as large a perceat-
age as I can, Itis an obligation for what
Greek literature and Greek sculpture and
Greek architecture and Greek prowess have
done for me, 1 will pay all I can in !Gstall-
Greeks."
Hellas, as the inhabitants call it,or trreece,
as we oall ir, is insignifleant in size, about a
third as large as the State of New York, but
what it lacks in breadtn it makes up in
height, with its mountains Cylene and
Eta and Taygetus and Tymphrestus,
each over 7000 feet in elevation, and
ite Parnassus, over 8000. Just the
country for mighty men to be born in, for ia
all lands the most of the intellectual and
moral giants were not born on the plain,
but had for eradle the vallay batween two
mountains. That country, nc part of which
is more than forty miles fron the sea, has
made its impress upon the world as no other
pation, and it to-day holds a fiest mortgage
of obligation upon all civilized people.
While we must leave to statesmanship aad
diplomney the settlement of the intricate
questions which now involve all Europe and
indirectly all nations, itis time for all the
churches, a!l schools, all uviversities, all
arts, all literatures, to sound out in the
most emphatic way the declaration, *‘I am
debtor to the Greeks,"
In the first place, we owe to iaaguage
our New Testament. All of it wns first writ-
ten in Greek, exceptthe book of Matthew,
and that, wrilten in the Aramman language,
was soon put into Greek by our Baviour's
brother James, To the Greek language we
owe the best sermon ever preached, the bes:
letters ever written, the Pro visions ever
kindled. All the parables in Greek, Allthe
miracles In Greek. The sermon on the
mount in Greek, The story of Bethishem,
and Golgotha, and Olivet, and Jordan banks,
and Galilean beaches, and Pauline embarka-
tion, and Pentecostal tongues, and seven
trampets that sounded over Patmos, have
come to the world in liquid, symmetric,
picturesque, philosophie, unrivaled Greek,
instead of the gibberish language in which
many of the natioss of the sarth a:
that time jatbered, Who ean forget
it, and who can exaggerate its thei -
Hug importance, that Christ and heaven
were introduced to us in the language

Ler
bad sung, and Sophocles dramatized,
and Plato dialogue, and Socrates disconrsed,
and Lycurgus legislated, and Demosthenes
thundered his oration on “The Crown?”
Everlasting thanks to God that the waters of
life were not handed to the world In the un-
washed cup of corrupt lnnguages from which
nations had been drinking, but in the clean,
bright, golden lippet, emerald handled
chalice of the Heallenea, Learnel Curtins
wrote a whole volume about the Greek verb,
Philologzists century after century bave been
measuring the symmetry of that langaage,
laden with elegy and philipple drama and
comedy, “Odyssey” and “Iliad,” but the
grandest thing that Greek languages ever ne-
complished was to give to the world
benediction, the the
the salvation, of the gospel of the Son of
God. For that we are dsbtors to the Greeks,
From the Grecks the world learned how to
make history. Had there been no Herodotus
and Thueydides thers would have been no
Macasclay or Baoeroft, Had there been no
Bophoeies in tragedy there would have been
no Shakespeare, Had there been no Homer,
thers would have been no Milton. The mod-
ern wits, who are now or have besa out on
the divine mission of making the worid
laugh at the right time, can be traced back
to Aristophanes, the Atheniac, and many of
the jocosities that are now taken as new had
their suggestions 2300 years ago in ths fifty-
four comedies of that master of merriment.
Grecisn mythology has been the richest
mine from which orators and essayists
have drawn their illustrations asd paint-
ers the themes for their canvas, aad, al-
though now an exhausted mine, Grecian
mythology has done a work that noth-
ing else could have ascomplished, Bo
reas, representing the nor wind;
phus, rolling the stone up the hill, only
to have the same thing to do over again:
comfort,
irradiation,
ecotild not reach; Achilles, with his arrows:
near the sun; the Centaurs, haif-man and
half-beast: Orpheus, with his lyre; Atlas,
with the world on his back-—all these and
fus Choate's eulogium on Daniel Webster at
Dartmouth. Tragedy asd comedy were
born in the festivals of Dionysins at Athens,
Grocee 300 years before Christ
i860 and 1900 years after Christ, There is
not an effective pulpit or editorial chair or
professor's room or enitured purlor or ictei-
Hgent farmbouse to-day in America or
Europes that could not appropriately employ
Paul's ejaculation and say, “f am debtor to
the Greeks”
The fact is this—Paul had got mach of his
orstorical power of expression from the
Greeks. That he had studied their literature
was avident when, standing in the presence
of an andience of Greek scholars on Mars’
hill, which overlooks Athens, he dared to
quote from one of their own Greek posts,
either Cleanthus or Aratus, declaring, “As
esrtain also of your own poets have said,
‘For we are also his offspring.’ And he
made accurate quotation, Cleanthus, one of
the poets, haviog written:
For we thine offspring are. All things that
eres)
Are but the echo of the voles divine
And Aratus, sue of their own poets, had
written:
Doth care perplex?
migh?
We are his offspring, and to Jove we fly,
It was rather a risky thing for Paul to at-
tempt to quote extemporaneously from a
joum inna language foreign to his aad be-
ore Greek scholars, but Paul did it without
stammering and toen acknowledged before
the most distinguished audience on the
his indebtedniss to the Greeks, ery-
ing out In bis oration, *‘As one of your own
poets has said,”
Furthermore, all the civilized world, like
Paul, is indebted to the Greeks for architee-

But there is another art in my mind-the
most fascinating, elevating and inspiring of
nll arts and the nearest to the divine—for
which all the world owes a debt to the Hel
lenes that will never be pald. I mean sounlp-
ture, At least 650 years before Christ the
Greeks perpetuated the human face and
form in terra cotta and marble, What a
blessing to the human family that men and
women, mightily useful, who could live only
within a century may be perpetuated for five
or six or ten centuries? ow I wish that
some soulptor contemporansous with Christ
could have put His matohless form in mar.

statue of Martian Luther, of John Knox, of
Willlam Penn, of Thomas Chalmers, of
Wallington, of Lafayette, of any of the
great statesmen or emancipators or con-
querors who adorn your parks or fill the
niches of your academies, you are debtors to
the Greeks. They covered the Acropolis,
they glorified the temples, they adorned the
cemeteries with statues, some in cedar, some
in ivory, some in silver, some in gold, some
ln size diminutive and some in size colossal,
Thanks to Phidias, who worked in stone; to
Clearchus, who worked in bronze; to Doutas,
who worked in gold, and to all ancient
chisels of commemoration! Do you not
realize that for many of the wonders of
sculpture we are debtors to the Greeks?

hatter read of the battle of Maratnon, where
15,000 Athenians, led on by Miitiades,
triumphed over 100.000 of th~ir enemies. At
that time, in Greek council of war, five
generals were for beginning the battles and
five wore against it. Callimachas presided
at the counail of war, had the deciding vote,
“It now rests with you, Callimachus, either
to enslave Athens, or, by insuring her fres.
dom, to win yourseifan immortality of fame,
for never sines the Athenians were a people
were they in such danger as they are in at
this moment. 1f they bow the knee to these
Medes, they are to be given up to Hippias,
and you know what they will then have to
suffer, but if Athens comes vietorious out of
this contest she has it in her power to become
the first eity of Greece. Your vote ia to de-

30d that He help Greece in ta present war
with Mohammedanism and the concerted
empires of Europe. I know her queen, a
noble, Christian woman, her face the throne
of all benefloence and loveliness, her life an
example of noble wifehood aad motherhood,
God belp thoss palnces in these days of aw-
ful exigency! Our American Senate did well
which owes to Greece its columnar impres-
siveness they passed a hearty resolution of
sympathy for that nation. Would that all
who have potent words that ean be heard in
Europe would uiter them now, when they
are 80 much needed! Let us repeat to them
in English what they centuries ago declared
to the world in Greek, “Blessed are those
who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Another way of partly paying our debt to
the Greeks is by higher appreciation of the
learning and self sacrifice of the mea who ia
our own land stand for ali that the ancient
Greeks stood. While here and there one
comes to publie approval and reward, the
most of them live in privation or on salary
disgracefully small. The scholars, the
archmologiste, the artists, the Hterati—most
of them live up three or fouf flights of stairs
and by small windows that do not let in the
full sunlight. You pass them every day in
Your streets without any recognition. The
world calis them “‘bookworms” or “Dr.
Dryasduat,” but if there had bean ao book-
worms or dry doctors of law and science and
theology there wouid have been no Apoes.

It seems that Frank Conson ‘sud Jem

standing above ground, was hauling
the bucket up by windlass, when the

Hemsworth's bleading and broken body was

some one exclaimed, “Jim, this is awful!”
he replisd, “Oh, what's the difference so
