Wasmixgron, D. C.—From an unusual
text Dr. Talmage in this discourse rebukes
the spirit of unrest which characterizes
so many people, and shows them the hap-
iness and usefulness to be found in sta-
pility ; text, Jeremiah ii, 36, “Why gaddest
thou about so much to chauge thy way?
Homely is the illustration by which this
prophet of tears deplores the vacillation
of the nation to whom he wrote.

with Assyria and now with Babylon, and
now they did not know what they wanted,
and the behavior of the nation reminded
the prophet of a man or woman who, not sat.

crs out to them, “Why gaddest
about so much to caange thy way?”
Weill, the world has now as many gada
bouts as it had, in Bible times, and I think
that that race of people is more numer-
ous now than it ever was
among occupations, among religious thee
ries, among churches, among neighbor
hoods—and one of the greatest wants of
the church and the world i= more stead
fastness and more fixedness of purpose.

There are many who exhibit this frail
ty in matters of religion. They are not
sure about anything that pertains to their
soul or their eternal destiny. Now they
are Unitarians, and now they are Uni
versalists, and now they are Presbyteri
ans, and now they are nothing at all, They
are not quite sure that the Bible was in-
spired or if inspired whether the words
or the ideas were inspired or whether only
part of the book was inspired. They think
at one time that the story in Genesis about
the garden of Eden ix a history, and the
month after they think it is an allegory
At one time they think the book of Job
describes what really occurred, but the
next time they speak of it they call it a
drama. Now they believe all the miracles,
but at your next interview they try to
show how these scenes had nothing in
them supernatural, but can be accounted
for by natural causes. Gadding about

and why do they not render a verdiet? If
they cannot make up their mind with all

Professor Heilprecht, of the University of

they turn up with their pickaxes the ashes

the saerifices of lambs and heifers and
pigeons. There is the history by Josephus
describing on uninspired page scones
which the Bible depicts. On the banks of
the Dead Fen there are pieces of the very
