Bbooeltm-, March 17. At the Taber
.nacle this morning the Bev. T. DeWitt
lalmage, D. D., expounded the seventh
chapter of Ecclesiastes. He afterward gave
ant the hymn beginning:
Grace! 'tis a charming sound,
Harmonious to the ear,
rhich -was sung by the vast congregation
with magnificent effect The subject of Dr.
Talmage's sermon was "The Moonlight
Bide," and the text, Nehemiah ii, 15:
"Then I went np in the night by the brook,
and viewed the wall, and turned back, and
entered by the gate of the valley, and so.
returned. He said:
A dead city is more suggestive than a living
city past Rome than present Rome ruins
rather than newly frescoed cathedral. But the
time to visit a ruin is by moonlight. The
Coliseum is far more fascinating to the trav
eler after sundown than before. You may
stand "by daylight amid the monastic rums of
Melrose Abbey, and study shafted oriel, and
rosetted stone and mullion, but they throw
their strongest witchery by moonlight Somo
of you remember what the enchanter of Scot
land said in the "Lay'of the Last Minstrel:"
IVonldst thou view fair Melrose aright.
Go visit It by the ple moonlight.
A BU1XED CITT.
Washington Irving describes the-Andalnslan
moonlight upon the Alhambra ruins as
amounting to an enchantment My text pre
sents you Jerusalem in ruins. The tower down.
The gates down. The walls down. Everything
down. Nehemiah on horseback, by moonlight
looking upon the ruins. While he rides, there
,are some friends on .foot going "with him, for
they do not want the many horses to disturb
the'suspicions of the people. These people do
not know the secret of Nehemiah's heart, but
they are going as a sort of a body guard. I
bear the clicking hoofs of the, horse 03
which Nehemiah rides, as be guides it thU
way and that, into this gate and ont of that
winding through that gate amid the debris of
once great Jerusalem.
Now the horse comes to a dead halt at the
"tumbled masonry where he cannot pass. Now
be shies off at the charred timbers. Now he
comes along where the water under the moon
light flashes from the mouth of the brazen
dragon after which the gate wasnamed. Heavy
hearted Nehemiab ! Riding in and ont, now
by bis old home desolated, no w by the defaced
temple, now amid the scars of the city that bad
gone down nnder battering ram and conflagra
tion. The escorting pmy knows not what
Nehemiah means. Is he getting crazy? Have
his own personal sorrows, added to the sorrows
of the nation, unbalanced his intellect? Still
the midnight exploration goes on.
Nehemiah on horsebaeack rides through the
fish gate, by the tower of the furnaces, by the
King's pool, by the dragon well, in and out, in
and out, until the midnight ride is completed,
and Nehemiah dismounts from his horse, and
to the amazed aud confounded and incredu
lous body guard, declares the dead secret of his
heart when he says, "Come, now, let us build
Jerusalem." "What Nehemiah, have you any
money?" "No" "Have you any kingly au
thority?" "No." "Have you any eloquence?"
"No." Yet that midnight, moonlight ride of
Neliemiah resulted in the
GT-OKIOUS KEBUTLDIXG
of the city of Jerusalem. The people knew
-cot how the thing was to be done, but with
gr eat enthusiasm they cried out "Let us rise
np now and build the city." Some people
laughed and said it could not be done. Some
people were infuriated and offered personal
violence, saying the thing should not be done.
But he workmen went right on, standing on
the wall, trowel in one hand, sword in the
other, until the work was gloriously completed.
At that very time, in Greece, Xenophon was
writing a history and Plato was making phil--osophy
and Demosthenes was rattling his
rhetorical thunder, but all of them together
did not do so much tor the world as this mid
night moonlight ride of praying, courageous,
homesick, close-mouthed Nehemiah.
My subject first impresses me with the idea
what an intense thing is church affection.
Seize the bridle of that horse and stop Nehe
miah. Why are you riskinc your life here in
the night? Your horse will stumble over these
ruins aud fall on you. Stop this useless expo
sure of your life. No; Nehemiah will not stop.
He at last tells us the whole story. He lets us
know he was an exile in a far distant land, and
he was a servant a cup-bearer in the palace of
Artaxerxes Longimanus, and one day. while he
was handing the cup of wine to the King, the
King said to him,
"What is the matter with you? Yon are not
sick. I know von must have some great trou
ble. What is the matter with your' Then he
told the King how that beloved Jerusalem was
broken down; how that his father's tomb had
been desecrated; how that tfie temple had been
dishonored and defaced; how that the walls
were scattered and broken. "Well," says Kine
Artaxerxes, "what do you want?" "Well,"
said the cup-bearer. Nehemiah, "I want to go
home. I want to fix up the grave of my father,
I want to restore the
BEAUTS OP THE TEMPLE.
"I want to rebuild the masonry of the city
nail. Besides, I want passports so that I shall
not be hindered in my journey. And besides
that" as you will find In the context "I want
an order on the man who keeps your forest for
Just so much Umber as I may need for the re
building of the city." "How long shall you be
gone?" said the king. The time of absence is
arranged. In hot haste this seeming adven
turer comes to Jerusalem, and in my text we
find him on horse Dack, in the midnight riding
around the ruins. It is through the SDectacles
of this scene that we discover the ardent at
tachment of Nehemiah for sacred Jerusalem,
which in all ages has been the type of the
church of God, our Jerusalem, which we love
just as much as Nehemiah loved .his Jeru
salem. The fact is that you love the church of God
eo much that f-.ero is no spot on earth so
sacred, unless .; is your own fireside. The
church has been to you so much comfort and
illumination that there is nothlnc that makes
you so irate as to have It talked against It
there have been times when you have been car
ried Into captivity by sickness, you longed for
the church, our holy Jerusalem, just as much
as Nehemiah longed for his Jerusalem, and the
first day you came out you came to the house
of the Lord. When the temple was in ruins as
ours was years ago, like Nehemiah, you walked
around and looked at it and in the moonlight
yon stood listening if yon could not hear the
voice of the dead organ, the psalm of the ex-
Sired Sabbaths. What Jerusalem was to Ne
emlah. the church of God is to you.
Skept'cs and infidels may scoff at the church
as an obsolete affair.as a relic of the dark ages,
as a convention of goody goody people, but all
the impression they have ever made on your
mind against the church of God is absolutely
nothing. You would make more sacrifices for
it to-day than for any other institution, and if
it were needful you would die in its defense.
You can take the words of the kingly poet as
be said, "H I foreet thee, O Jerusalem, let my
my right band forget her cunning." You un
derstand in your own experience the pathos,
the homesickness, the courage, the
holy enthusiasm of .Nehemiah in his
midnight moonlight ride around the ruins of
his beloved Jerusalem.
EXPIOBATION' NECESSABY.
Again, my text impresses me with the fact
that before reconstruction there must be an
exploration of ruins. Why was not Nehemiah
asleep under the covers? Why was not bis
horse stabled in the mldnieht? Let the police
of the city arrest this midnight rider out on
some mischief. No, Nehemiah is going to re
build the city, and he is making the prclirain
ary exploration. In this gate, out that gate,
east, west north, south. AH through the
ruins. The ruins must be explored before the
work ofVeconstruction can begin. The reason
that so many people in this day, apparently
converted, do not stay converted is because
they did not first explore the ruins of their
own heart
The reason that there are so many professed
Christians who in this day lie and forge and
steal, and commit adultery, and go to the peni
tentiary, is because they first do not leam the
ruin of their own heart They have not found
out that "the heart is deceitful above all
things, and desperately wicked."" They had an
idea ther were almost right and they built re
ligion as a sort of extension, as an ornamental
" uP0l- There was a superstructure of religion

'- H? . with a ?d deal of modern theology is

r s ""B1" boUds on the debris of an nnregenerated
'nature.
They attempt to rebuild Jerusalem before, in
the midnight of conviction, they have Keen the
ghastliness of the ruin. They have such a poor
fonndation for their religion that the first
northeast storm of temptation blows them
down. I have no faith In a man's conversion
if he is not converted in the old-fashioned way
John Banyan's way, John Wesley's way, John
Calvin's way, Paul's way, Christ's way, God's
way. A dentist once said to me, "Does that
hurt?" Said I, "Of course it hurts. It is in
your business as in my profession. We have to
hurt before we can help." Yon will never un
derstand redemption until you understand
ruin. A man tells me that some one is a
MEMBER OF THE CHUBCH.
It makes no impression on my mind at all. I
simply want to know whether he was con
verted in the old-fashioned way, or whether ho
was converted in the new-fashioned way. If
he was converted in the old-fashioned way he
will stand. If he was converted in the new
fashioned way he will not stand. That is all
there is about it A"man comes to me to talk
about religion. The first question I ask him is:
"Do you feel yourself to be a sinner?"
If he say,"Well, I-yes," the hesltaucy makes
me feel that that man wants a rideonNebe
miah's horse by midnight through the ruins-i
in by the gate of his affections, out by the gate
or his will; and before he has got through with
that midnight ride be will drop the reins on
the horse's neck and will take his right hand
and will 6mite on his heart and say. "God be
...flirni tn m ft sinner:" and before he has
stabled his horse he will take his feet out of
f the stirrups and he will slide down on ins
grounu ana ne win nucci, vijiuju, i
mercy on me, O God, according to Thy loving
kindness, according unto the multitude of Thy
tender mercies; blot out my transgressions,
for I acknowledge mv transgressions and my
sins are ever before Thee." Ah, my friends,
vou see this is not a complimentary gospel.
That is what makes some people so mad.
It comes to a man of a million dollars and im-
Fenitent in his sins and says, "You're a pauper."
t comes to a woman ot fairest cheek, who has
never repented, and says, "You're a sinner."
It comes to a man priding himself on his inde
pendence and says, "You're bound hand and
foot by the deviL" It come to our entire race
and says, "You're a ruin, a ghastly ruin, an
illimitable ruin." Satan sometimes says to me.
"Why do you preach that truth? wnyaon't
vou preach a gospel with no repentance in it?
Why don't you flatter men's hearts so that you
make them feel all right? Why-don't you
preach a humanitarian gospel with no repent
ance m it say nothing about the ruin, talking
all the time about redemption?" I say, "Get
thee behind me, Satan." I would rather
LEAD FIVE SOULS
the right way than 20,000 the wrong way. The
redemption of the gospel is a perfect farce if
there is no ruin. "The whole need not a physi
cian, but they that are sick." "If anyone,
though he be an angel from heaven, preach
any other gospel than this," says the apostle,
"let him be accursed." There must be the
midnight ride over the ruins before Jerusalem
can be built There must be the clicking of
the hoofs before there can be the ringing of
the trowels.
Again. My subject gives me a specimen of
busy and triumphant sadness. If there was
any man in the world who had a right to mope
and give up everything as lost it was Nehe
miah. Yon say, "He was a cup bearer in the
palace of Sbushan, and it was a grand place."
So it was. The hall of that palace was 200 feet
square, and the roof hovered over 36 nmrble
pillars, each pillar 60 feet high; and the intense
blue of the sky, and the deep green of the
forest foliage, and the white 'of the driven
snow, all hung .trembling in the upholstery.
But my friends, you know very well that fine
architecture will not put down homesickness.
Yet Nehemiah did not give up.
Then when you see him going among these
desolated streets, and by these dismantled tow
ers, and by the torn-up grave of his father, you
would suppose that he would have been dis
heartened, and that he would have dismounted
from bis horse and gone to his room and said:
"Woe is me 1 My father's grave is torn up.
The temple is dishonored. The walls are
broken down. I have no money with which to
rebuild. I wish I bad never Deen born. I wish
I were dead." Not so says Nehemiah. Al
though he had a grief so intense that it excited
the commentary of bis king, yet that penni
less, expatriated Nehemiah rouses himself up
to rebuild the city. He gets his permission of
absence. He gets his passports. He hastens
away to Jerusalem. By night on horseback he
rides through the ruins. He overcomes the
most ferocious opposition. He arouses the
PIETY AND PATBIOIISM
of the people, and in less than two months,
namely, in 52 days, Jerusalem was rebuilt
That's what I call busy and triumphant sad
ness. My friends, the whole temptation is with
you, when you have trouble, to do just the op
posite to the behavior of Nehemiah, and that
istociveup. You say, "I have lost my child
and can never smile aeain." You say. "I have
lost my property, a"nd I- never can repair my
fortunes." You say, "I have fallen into sin.
and I never can start again for a new life." If
Satan can make you form that resolution, and
make you keep it he has ruined you.
Trouble is not sentto crush yon, but to arouse
you, to animate vou, to propel'you. The black- i
smith does not thrust the iron into the forge
and then blow away with the bellows, and then
bring the hot iron out on the anvil and beat
with stroke after stroke to ruin the iron, but to
prepare it for a better use. Oh that the Lord
God of Nehemiah would rouse np all broken
hearted people to rebuild. Whipped, betrayed,
shipwrecked, imprisoned Paul went right on.
The Italian martyr Algerius sirs in bis dungeon
writing a letter, and he dates it: "From the
delectable orchard of tbeLeonine prison." That
is what I call triumphant sadness.
I knew a mother who buried her babr on Fri
day and on Sabbath appeared in the house of
God and said: "Give me a class; give me a
Sabbath school class. I have no child now left
me. and 1 would like to have a class of little
children. Give me real poor children.
vGive me a class off the back street"
That I say, is beautiful. That is triumphant
sadness. At 3 o'clock this afternoon, in a beau
tiful parlor in Philadelphia a parlor pictured
and statuetted there will be from ten to twen
ty destitute children ot the street It has been
so every Sabbath afternoon at 3 o'clock for
many years. These destitute children receive
religions Instruction, concluding with cakes
and sandwiches. How do I know that that has
been coins on for many years? I knew it in
this way:
GBEED CUBED BY CHEISTIAN WORK.
That was the first .home in Philadelphia
where I was called to comfort a great sorrow.
They had a splendid boy and he had been
drowned at Long Branch. The father and
mother almost idolized the boy, and the sob
and shriek of that father and mother as they
hung over the coffin resound in my ears to-day.
There seemed to be no use of praying, for when
I knelt down to pray, the outcry in the room
drowned out all the pray. But the Lord com
forted that sorrow. They did not forget their
trouble. If you should co on the snowiest
winter afternoon intb Laurel Hill you would
find a monument with the word "Walter" in
scribed upon it and a wreath of fresh flowers
around the name.
I think there has not been an hour all these
years, wiuter or summer, when there was not a
wreath of fresh flowers around Walter's name.
But the Christian mother who sends those flow,
ers there, having no child left Sabbath after
noons mothers 10 or 20 of the lost ones of the
street That is beautiful. That is what I call
busy and triumphant sadness. Here is a man
who has lost his property. He does not go to
hard drinking. He does not destroy his own
life. He comes and says: "Harness me for
Christian work. My money's gone. 1 have no
treasures on earth. I want treasures in heaven.
I have a voice and a heart to serve God." Yon
say that that man has failed. He has not
failed he has triumphed.
Oh. I wish I could persuade all the people
who have any kind of trouble never to give up.
I wish they would look at the midnight rider of
tne text, ana mat tne iour noois 01 tnat beast

Dyspepsia
Is one of the most prevalent of diseases.
Few persons have perfect digestion.
One of Ayer's Pills, taken after dinner,
or a dose at night before retiring, never
fails to give relief in the worst cases,
and wonderfully assists the process of
nutrition. As a family medicine, Ayer's
Pills ate unequaled.
James Quinn, 90 Middle st., Hartford,
Conn., testifies : "I have used Ayer's
Pills for the past thirty years and con
sider them an invaluable family medi
cine. I know of no better remedy for
liver troubles, and have always found
them a prompt cure for dyspepsia."
Lucius Alexander, of Marblehead,
Mass., was long a severe sufferer from
Dyspepsia, Complicated with enlarge
ment of the Liver, most of the time
being unable to retain any food in his
stomach. Three boxes of Ayer's Pills
cured him.
Frederic C Greener, of East Dedham,
Mass., for several months troubled with
Indigestion, was cured before he used
half a box of these Pills.

all your- discouragements and hardships and
trials. Giveupl Who is going to give up,
when on the bosom of God he can have all his
troubles hushed? Give upl Never think of
giving np. Are you borne down with poverty?
A little child was found holding her dead moth
er's hand in the darkness of a tenement house,
and some one coming in, the little girl loqked
nA.w?il? bpldlng her dead mother's hand, and
said: "Oh, I do wish that God had made
MOEE LIGHT
for .poor folks." ify dear. God will be your
light God will be your shelter, God will be
your home. Are you borne down with the be
reavements of life? Is the house lonely now
that the child is gone? Do not give up. Think
of what the old sexton said when the minister
asked him why he put so much care on the lit
tle graves in the cemetery so much more care
than on the -larger graves, and the old sexton
said; "Sir, you know that "of such is the king
dom of heaven,' and I think the Savior is
pleased when bo sees so much white clover
growing around these little graves." But when
the minister pressed the old sexton for a more
satisfactory answer,' the old sexton said, "Sir,
about these larger graves, I don't know who
are the Lord's saints and who are not; but you
know, sir, it is clean different with the bairns."
Oh, if you have had that keen, tender, inde
scribable sorrow that comes from the loss of a
child, do not give up. The old sexton was
right It is well with the bairns. Or, if you
have sinned, if you have sinned grievously
sinned until you have been cast out by the
church, sinned until yon have been cast out by
Bucieiy, ao not give up. remaps there may do
in this house one that could truthfully utter
the lamentation of another:
Once I was pare a the mow. but I fell
rell like a suowflake, from heaven to hell
Felt to be trampled as filth, in the street
Fell, to be scosed at, spit on and beat;
Praying, cursing, wishing to die,
Selling myself to whoever would buy.
Dealing in shame for a morsel of bread,
Hating the living and fearing the dead.
Do not give up. One like unto the Son of
God comes to you to-day,' saying, "Go and sin
no more," while ho cries ont to your assailants,
"Let him that is withont sin cast the first stone
at her." OhI there is no reason why any one in
this house, by reason of any trouble or sin,
should give up. Are you a foreigner, and in a
strange land? Nehemiah. was an exile. Are you
penniless? Nehemiah was poor. Are you home
sick? Nehemiah was homesick. Are you
broken hearted? Nehemiah was broken
hearted. But just see him in the text, riding
along the sacrilegcd grave of his father, and
by the dragon well, and through the fish cate,
and by the King's pool, in and out, in and ont
the moonlight falling on the broken masonry,
which throws a long shadow at which the horse
shies, and at the same time that moonlight,
kindling up the features of this man till you
see, not only the mark of sa,d reminiscence, but
the courage, the hope, the enthusiasm of a
man who knows that Jerusalem will be re
builded. I pick you up to-day out of your sins
and out of your sorrow, and I put you against
the warm heart of Christ "The eternal God
is thy refuge, and underneath are the ever
lasting arms."
