Wo1 THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH. MONDAY, MARCH 3, 1890. A BRAND NEW CREED Bev. Dr. Talmage Says is Ono of the Keeds of the Modern Chnrcli. FREEDOM, KOT BONDAGE, WANTED Some of the Perils That Surround Us in This Life Pointed Out. A LESSOX FROM LAZARUS' LIBERATION IEPECIA1. TELEGKASt TO THE DISPJLTCH.J Bkookltn-, March 2. At the Tabernacle this morning the Rev. T. De "Witt Talmage, D. D., said he thought the new Brooklyn Tabernacle would be dedicated in Septem ber, and that the idea would be carried out of building the church bj subscription to Tlie Christian Herald, of which he has 'be come editor, all the subscriptions up to 150,000 to be paid to Mr. John Wood, Treasurer of the Tabernacle, Fulton street, near Concord, Brooklyn, X. Y. The sub ject of his discourse was "Revision of Creeds," and he took for his test John xi, 44: "Loose him, and let him go." Dr. Talmage said: My Bible is, at the place of this text, written all over with lead pencil marks made last December at Bethany on the ruins of the house ot Mary and Martha and Laz arus. AVe dismounted from our horses on the way up from Jordan to the Dead Sea. Bethany was the summer evening retreat of Jesus. After spending the day in the hot city of Jerusalem he would come out there almost every evening to the house of his three friend's. I think the occupants of that house were orphans, for the lather and mother are not mentioned. But the son and two daughters must have inherited prop erty, for it must hare been, judging from what I saw of the foundations and the size of the rooms, an onulent home. Lazarus, the brother, was now the head of the household, and his sisters depended on him and were proud ot him, for he was very popular and everybody liked him, and these girls were splendid girls. Martha a first rate housekeeper, and Mary a spirituelle, somewhat dreamy, but affectionate, and as good a girl as could be found in all Pales tine. But one dav Lazarus got sick. The iisterswere in consternation. Father gone and mother gone, they feel very nervous lest they lose their brother also. Disease did its quick work. How the girls hung over his pillow! !Not much sleep about that house, no sleep at all. THE SORROW'S OF THE MASTER. From the characteristics otherwhere de veloped, I judge that Martha prepared the medicines and made tempting dishes of food for the poor appetite ot the sufferer, but Mary prayed and sobbed. Worse and worse gets Lazarus, until the doctor announces that he can do no more. The shriek that went up from that household when the last breath had been drawn and the two sisters were being led by sympathizers into the ad joining room, all those of us can imagine who nave had our own hearts broken. But why was not Jesus there, as He so often had been? Far away in the country districts preaching, healing other sick, how unfortu nate that this omnipotent Doctor had not been at that domestic crisis in Bethany. When at last Jesus arrived in Bethany Lazarus had been buried four days and dis solution had taken place. In that climate the breathless body disintegrates more rapidly than in ours. If immediately alter decease that body had been awakened into life, unbelievers mijiht have said that he was only in a comatose state, or in a sort of trance, and by some vigorous manipulation or powerful stimulant vitality had been re newed. No! Four days dead. At the door of the sepulchre is a crowd of people, but the three most memorable are Jesus, who was the family friend, and the two bereft sisters. "We went into the traditional tomb in December, and it is deerdown and dark, and with torches we explored it We ound it all quiet that afternoon of our visit, but the day spoken of in the Bible there was present an excited multitude. I wonder what Jeftis will do. He orders the door of the grave removed, and then he begins to descend the steps, Mary and Martha close alter him, and the crowd alter them. Deeper down into the shadows and deeper! The hot tears of Jesus roll over His cheeks and plash upon the back of his hands. Were ever so many sorrows compressed into so small a space as in that group pressing on down after Christ, all the time bemoaning that He had not come before? Nov all the -whispering and all the crying and all the sounds of shuffling feet are stopped. It is the silence of expectancy. Death had con quered, but now the vanquisher of death confronted the scene. LIBERATION OF LAZABUS. Amid the awful hush of the tomb the familiar name which Christ had often had upon His lips in the hospitalities of the vil lage home came back to His tongue, and with a rjathos and an almightiness of which the resurrection of the last day shall be only an echo, he cries: "Lazarus! come forthl" The eyes of the slumberer open and he rises and comes to the loot of the steps and with great difficulty begins to ascend, for the cerements of the tomb are yet on him and his feet are fast and his hands are fast and the impediments to all his movements are so great that Jesus commands: "Take off these cerements; remove these hindrances; un fasten these grave clothes; loose him and let him go!" Oh, I am so glad that after the Lord raised Lazarus He went on and com manded the loosening of the cords that bound his feet so that he could walk, and the breaking off ot the cerement that bound his hands so that he could stretch out his arms in salutation, and the tearing off of the bandage from around his jaws so that he could speak. What would resurrected life have been to Lazarus if he had not been freed lrom all those cripplements of his body? I am glad that Christ commanded his complete emancipation, saying: "Loose him, and let him go." The unfortunate thing now is that so many Christians are only half liberated. They have been raised from the death and burial of sin into spiritual life, but they yet have the grave clothes on them. Thev are like Lazarus, hobbling up the Btairs of the tomb, bound hand and foot, and the object of this sermon is to help free their body and free their soul, and I shall try to obey the Master's command that come's to me and comes to every miuister of religion, "Loose him, and let go." First, many are bound hand and foot by religions creeds. Let no man misinterpret me as antagonizing creeds. I have eight or ten of them; a creed about religion, a creed about art, a creed about so cial life, a creed about government, and so on. A creed is something that a man be lieves, wnetner it be written or unwritten. Toe Presbyterian Church is now agitated about its creea. borne good men in it are lor keeping it because it was framed from i the belief of John Calvin Uthergood men in it want revision. I am with neither partv. Instead of revision I want substitu tion. I was sorry to nave the Question dis turbed at all. TIME FOR A HEW CREED. The creed did not hinder us from offering the pardon and the comfort ot the Gospel to all men, and the Westminster Confession has not intenered with me one minute. But now that the electric lights have been turned on the imperfections of that creed and everything that man fashions is imperfect let us put the old creed respectfully aside and get a brand new one. It is impossible that people who lived hundreds of years ago should fashion an arjpropriate creed for our times. John Calvin was a great and good man, but he died 326 'years ago. The best centuries of Bible study have come since then, and explorers have done their work, and you niicht as well have the world go back and stick to what Robert Fulton knew about steamboats and reject the subse quent improvements in navigation; and go back to John Gnttenberg, the in rentor of the art of printing, and reject all modem newspaper presses, and go bjck to the time when telegraphy was the elevating of signals or the burning of bonfires on the hilltops and reject the magnetic wire, which is the tongue ot nations, as to ignore all the exegetes and the philologists and the theo logians of the last 326 years and put your head under the sleeve of the gown of a sixteenth century doctor. I could call the names ot 20 living Presbyterian ministers of religion who could make a better creed than John Calvin. The nineteenth century ought not to be called to sit at the feet of the sixteenth. "But," you say, "it is the same old Bible, and John Calvin had that as well as the present student of the Scriptures." les; so it is the same old sun in the heavens, but in our time it has gone to making daguerreo tvpes and photographs. It is the same old water, but in our century it has gone to running steam engines. It is the same old electricity, but in our time it has become a lightning-footed errand boy. So it is the old Bible, but new applications, new uses, new interpretations. You must remember that during the last 300 years words have changed their meaning and some of them now mean more and some less. I do not think that John Calvin believed, as seme sav he did, in the damnation of infants, al though some of the recent hot disputes would seem to imply that there is such a thing as the damnation of infants. AN AWFUL POSSIBILITY. A man who believes in the damnation of infants himself deserves to lose heaven. 1 do not think any good man could admit such a possibility. What Christ will do with all the babies in the next world I con clude lrom what he did with the babies in Palestine when he hugged them and kissed them. When some of you grown people go out of this world your doubtful destiny will be an embarrassment to minis ters officiating at your obsequies, who will have to be cautions so as not to hurt surviv ing friends. But when the darling children go there are no "ifs" or "huts" or guesses. We must remember that good John Calvin was a logician and a metaphysician and by the proclivities of his nature put some things in an unfortunate way. Logic has its use and metaphysics has its use, but they are not good at making creeds. A gardener hands you a blooming rose, dewy fresh, but a severe botanist comes to you with a rose and says: "I will show you the structure of this rose." And he proceeds to take it apart and pulls off the leaves and he says: "There are the petals," and he takes out the anthers and he says: "Just look at the wonderful structure of these floral pillars," and then he cuts the stem to show you the juices of the plant. So logic or metaphysics takes the aromatic rose of the Christian religion and says: "I will just show you how this rose ot religion was fashioned;" and it pulls off of it a piece and says: "That is the human will, and another piece and says: "This is God's will," and another and says: "This is sov ereignty," and another piece and says: xhls is Iree agency, tbis is this and that is that And while I stand looking at the fragments of the rose pulled apart, one whom the Marys took for a gardener comes in and presents me with a crimson rose, red as blood, and says: "Inhale the sweetness of this, wear it on your heart and wear it for ever." I must confess that I prefer the rose in fall bloom to the rose pulled apart What a time we have had with the dog matics, the apologetics and the hermeneutics. The defect in some of the creeds is that they try to tell us all about the decrees of God. Now the only human being that was ever competent to handle that subject was Paul, and he would not bave been competent had he not been inspired. I believe in the sovereignty of God and I believe in man's free agency, but no one can harmonize the two. "it is not necessary that he harmonize them. A SEW COURSE OF LirE. A man who was once called Saul, but afterwards Paul, declared: "This is a faith ful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chiet." Mark that "of whom I am chief." 'Tut down your overcoats and hats, and I will take care of them while you kill Stephen" so Saul said to the stoners of the first martyr "I do not care to exert myself much, bnt l will guard your surplus apparel while you do the murder." The New Testament account sajs: "The witnesses" "laid down their clothes at a young man's feet whose name was Saul." No wonder he said: "Sinners, of whom I am the chief." Christ is used to climbing. He climbed to the top of the temple. He climbed to the top of Mount Olivet He climbed to the top of the cliffs about Nazareth. He climbed to the top of Golgotha. And to the top of the hills and the mountains of your transgression He is ready to climb with pardon for every one of you. The groan of Calvary is mightier than the thunder of Sinai. Full receipt is oflered for all your indebtedness. If one throw a stone at mid night into a bush where the hedgebird roosts it immediately begins to sing; and into the midnight hedges of ycur despond ency these words I hurl, hoping to awaken you to anthem. Drop the tunes in the minor kev and take the major. Do you think it pleases the Lord lor you to be carrying around with you the debris and carcasses of old trans gressions? You make me think of some ship that has had a tempestuous time at sea, and now that it proposes another voy age, keeps on its davits the damaged life boats, and the splinters of a slavered mast, and the broken glass of a smashed skylight My advice is: clear the decks, overboard with all the damaged rigging, brighten up the salted smokestacks, open a new log book, haul in the planks, lay out a new course and set sail for heaven. You have had the spiritual dumps long enough. You will please the Lord more by being happy than by being miserable. Have you not sometimes started out in the rain with your umbrella and you were busy thinking and you did not notice that the rain had stopped, and though it had cleared off you still had your umbrella up, and when you discovered what you were doing you lelt silly enough? That is what some of you are doing in religious things. You have got so used to sadness that though the rain has stopped you still have your umbrella up. Come out of the shadow. Ascend the stairs of your sepulchre. Step out into the broad light of noonday. We come around you to help remove your grave clothes, and a voice from the heavens, tremulous but om nipotent, commands: "Loose him, and let him go." How foolish for us to think that ours is the only world fit for us to stay in. I think that ail the stars are inhabited, and by beings like the human race in feelings and sentiments, and the difference is in lung respiration and heart beat and physical con formation, their physical contormation fit for the climate of their world and our physi cal conformation fit for the climate of our world. So we shall feel at home in any of the stellar neighborhoods, our physical lim itations having ceased. One of our first realizations in getting out of this world, I think, will be that in this world we were very much pent up and had cramped apart ments anu were Kept on tne limits. on the limits. The most even of our small world is water, and the water says to the human race: "Don't come here or you'll drown." A few thou- sand feet up the atmosphere is uninhabita ble, and the atmosphere says to the human race: "Don't come up here or vou cannot breathe." A few miles down tne earth is a furnace of fire, and the fire says: "Don't come here or you will burn DANGERS ALL AROUND. The caverns of the mountains are full of poisonous gases, and the gases say: "Don't conic here or you will be asnhvxiated." And, crossing a rail track, you must look out or jou will be crushed. And, standing by a steam boiler, you must look out or vou w'ill be blown up. And pneumonias and pleurisies and consumptions and apoplexies go across this earth in flocks, in droves, in herds, nnd it is a world of equinoxes and cyclones and graves. Yet we are under the delusion that it is the only place fit to stay in. AVe want to stick to the wet plank niid ocean while the great ship, "the City of God," of the Celestial line, goes sailing past and would gladly take us up In a life boat. My Christian friends, let me tear off your despot dencies and frights about disso lution. My Lord commands me regarding yon, saying: "Loose bim, and let himo." Heaven is ninety-five per cent better than this world, a thousand per cent better, a million per cent better. Take the gladdest, brightest, most jubilant days you ever had on earth and compress them all into one hour, and that hour would he a requiem, a fast day, a gloom, a horror as compared with the poorest hour they have had in heaven since its first tower was built or its first gates swung or its first song caroled. "Oh," you say, "that may be true, but I am so afraid of crossing over from this world to the next, and I fear the snapping of the cord between soul and body." Well, all the surgeons and physicians and scientists de clare that there is no pang at the parting of tho hndv nnd soul, and all the seeming restlessness at the closing hour of lite is involuntary and no distress at all. And I agree with the doctors, for what they say is confirmed by the fact that persons who were drowned or were submerged until all consciousness de parted and were afterward resuscitated de clare that the sensation of passing into un consciousness was pleasurable rather than distressful. The cage of the body has a door on easy hinges, and when that door of the physical cage opens the sonl simply puts out its wings and soars. "But," you say, "I fear cj go because the future is so full of mystery." Well, I will tell you how to treat mysteries. The mysteries have ceased bothering me, for I do as the judges of your courts often do. They bear all the argu ments in the case and then say: "I will take these papers and give you my decision next week." THE PHILOSOPHIC VIEW. So I have heard all the arrangements in regard to the next world, and some things are uncertain and full of mystery, and so I fold up the papers and reserve until the next world my decisions about them. I can there study all the mysteries to better advantage, for the light will he better and my faculties stronger, and I will ask the Christian phil osophers, who have had all the advantages of heaven for centuries, to help me, and I may be permitted myself humbly to ask the Lord, and I think there will be only one rujstery left, and that will be how one so un worthy as myself got into such an enrap tured place. Come up out of th j sepulchral shadows. If you are not Christians by faith in Christ come up into the light; and if you are already like Lazarus, reanimated, but still have your grave clothes on, get rid of them. The command is: "Loose him, and let him go." The only part of my recent journey that I really dreaded, although I did not say much about it beforehand, was the landing at Joppa. That is the port of entrance for the Holy Land, and there are many rocks, and in rough weather people cannot land at all. The boats taking the people lrom the steamer to the docks must run between reefs that looked to me to be about 60 leet apart, and one mistroke of an oarsman or an unexpected wave has sometimes been fatal, and hundreds have perished along those reefs. Beside that, as" we left Port Said the evening before an old traveler said: "The wild is just right to give you a rough laud ing at Joppa; indeed, I think you will not be able to land at all." The fact was that when our Mediterranean steamer dropped anchor near Joppa and we put out for shore in the small boat, the water was as still as though it had been sound asleep 100 years, and we landed as easily as I came on this platform. Well, your fears have pictured for you an appalling arrival at the end of your voyage of life, and they say that the seas will run high and that the breakers will swallow you up, or that if you reach Canaan at all it will be a very rough landing. The very oppo site will" be true if you have the eternal God for your portion. Your disembarkation for the Promised Land will be as smooth as ours at Palestine last December. Christ will meet vou far out at sea and pilot you into complete safety, and you will land with a hosanna on one side of you and a halle lujah on the other. "Land ahead!" its fruits are waving O'er the hills of fadeless green, And the living waters laving Shores where heavenly forms are seen. Rocks and storms I'll fear no more, When on that eternal shore; Drop the anchor, furl the sail! I am safe within the veill FINANCIAL FIGUBES.

The selling fever was still uppermost at the stock market Saturday, and all the business transacted was at still further concessions. Street railway shares were conspicuously weak. Pleasant Valley sold down to 2 and closed at 21 bid. The tractions were in the same boat. The weakness in some of these stocks is said to be duo to the dissatisfaction of Eastern holders with the action of Councils in granting privileges to so many competing lines. The natural gassers also developed further proof of a lack of recuperative power, the only strong feature among them being Char tiers. The demand for It is said to be from the inside. There was an active request for bank stocks, and some of them worn higher. Hall way about held their own, but electric, the miners and Switch and Signal each dropped a traction.

Bean fllnke Another Drive at Rnllrond Sbnrcs, bnt Meet Defeat Tlier De pended Too Much on a Sail Bank Statement. New York. March 1. The stock market was again dull, and after a temporary depression developed a materially stronger tone than it has seen in some days. There was a drive at the list as usual in the early trading, bnt it3 re sults were not of special importance, and as during the week persistent pressure of the bears to force down prices has met with but partial success, the depression to-day was only temporary. The attack this morning was made upon the expectation that the bank reserves would show a fallins: of about two and one-half millIons,but the statement of the loss fell a million short of the amount, and as there bad been good bnying all along the line at the concessions, the rush to cover after the result was known made a sharp and material rally. Of courso the de cline in sterling exchange rates and the flurry in money incident to the disbursements of the 1st of the month were partly responsible for the loHerinc, these rates gives a promise that there will be receipts of gold from the other side and a consequent improvement of the speculation. The bears were hammering Union Pacific to-day by tumors of an unfavorable nature in regard to the annual report, but the foreigners were buyers and heavy covering was done The bituminous coal stocks were specially weak also in the early dealings, but the tally brought them up again and Tcnnesseo Coal scored a handsome gain, though Colorado Coal was sluggish. Sugar was the strongest stock and was nut up by its friends to catch some stop orders. The remainder of the market was devoid of feature and the market finally closed qnlet but strong, generally at a shade better than the opening price. The final changes are slight fractions as a rule, but Sugar is up 3 and Tennessee Coal 2. Railroad bonds were duller than usual of late and tho transactions in the two hours of business reached only 372,000. The natural tone was generally steady, but all the impor tant changes in quotations are in the direction of lower figures.

Bright Prospects for the Spring Milli nery Trade Openings. AN EARLY BOOM THIS SEASON. Quietness in ITamess and Sole Leather, but Quotations Unchanged. HIDES DKOOPIXG.BOT CALFSKINS FIRM Office ofPittsbitro dispatch,! Satcrday. March 1. 1890. J The grand suring opening of our whole sale millinery dealers is announced for Tuesday, "Wednesday and Thursday, March 4 to 6. All signs point to a big time. Our merchants are making extra preparations for a grand display of goods, and there is po doubt that the exhibition will be beyond anything in previous years. Said a representative of one of the leading millinery establishments of the city to-day: "Oar trade has opened up unusually early this season. We do not count on doing much business until after the grand March opening, but orders have been coming in for a week or two past beyond all calculations. According to the best information we can obtain there will be a great rush of custom ers next week to view the prospect o'er, and we will have a finer display ot goods than ever before. The mild winter has bronght extra demands on flowers, and in fact, on every thing in millinery lines. The fashion for flowers rages in New York, a condition of things unprecedented at this time of the year." Harness nnd Sole Leather. The active demand for harness leather, which was noted a couple of weeks ago, has subsided, and tanners report a quiet trado for the past week. The present lull is attributed to the wretched condition of country roads through out Pittsburg's bailiwick. Prices aro sus tained, but no more. Sole leather trade has been mure active than harness leather all along until the past week or two. Of late the former has shared in the depression, and oak sole leather is lc per pound lower than it was at the opening of February. Hemlock sole leather is barely steady at tho old prices. As Allegheny harness and sole leather are always at a premium in the world's markets there is no doubt that our borne tanners will reap the first fruits of the revival in trade, which, from the experience of former years, must be near at hand. When once roads be come passable an active movement in leather is sure. February was a decided improvement on January, especially during the first half of the month, and, though trade has been rather slow the past week, there is little accumulation of stock in the hands of manufacturers. Following are the latest prices of harness leather as furnished oy James Callery & Co.: No. 1 extra trace selection, weights 20 to 27 pounds 33 Ao.

Market3 are very dull, and prices are c below rates of last week. Tbis is the season of the year when tanners don't care to buy, as hides are poorest In quality at this time by rea son of long hair and grubs. The wise tanner who has the wherewith to enable him to carry stock buys heavily in the fall when bides are at their best. Not more than 10 to 15 per cent of those now on the market are free from the ravages of grubs and all are more or less weighted by the dirt which gathers In the long hair of winter hides. Calfskins sutler from the same cause, but owing to their scarcity are firm at c higher prices than prevailed a week ago. Following are the latest prices on hides and calfskins.

MAEKETS BY WIEE. Wheat Firms Up on European Cables, and a Cold Wave Corn nnd Oats Feature less Pork Active nnd Un settled. CnicAao. Wheat A firm feeling was again developed in this market to-day, and while there were numerous fluctuations, the closing was better than yesterday. Opening lAa higher, prires wero advanced Jjjc more, fluctu ated some, and closed K'bc higher than yes terday. A good aggregate business was transacted, and the influences presented wero mainly favorable to the interest of holders. A report was received that the duty on wheat in Portugal bad been removed, and another that the duty had been reduced 8c per bushel. The duty has been 29c per bushel. A cable report was also received stating that the winter crops in Southern Russia bad been ruined, but this must have been exaggerated, for the foreign market wonld have responded more forcibly than they did to such a piece of news. Indications were fur a decrease ot abont 600,000 bushels in the visible supply. It was re ported that a cold wave had extended as far south as New Orleans. Corn ruled quiet most of the session, though earlv there Mas a little life manifested, but trading was only moderate and the bulk of the business local. Tho feeling prevailing was steadyland values showed little change from yesterday. Oats May was traded In with more freedom than the other deliveries and prices receded c under fair selling by a large operator. On ihe break he turned and bought, and a rally of ljc followed, and last sales were a shade below the prices of yesterday. Mess pork A fair trado was reported, but the ieeling was somowbat unsettled. Early the market was stronger and prices ruled )i5o higher, hut a weaker feeling was developed later and prices settled back again 7l0o and closed quiet at medium figures. Lard A quiet aud rather steady feeling pre vailed ln'the market. Early nnces ruled '2c higher on deferred deliveries, but this im provement was lost later in the day. Short ribs A moderate trade was reported and the feeling was comparatively steady. Sales at outside prices were made early, and during the latter part of the session slight re ductions were snomiueu to. The leading futures ranged as follows: Wheat-No. 2.

Pimples -AND- RE EVIDENCE That the Hood is wrong, and that nature is endeav oring to throw off the impurities. Nothing is so beneficial in assisting nature as Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) It is a simple vegetable compound. Is harmless to the most delicate child, yet it forces the poison to the surface and eliminates it from ihe blood. I contracted a severe case of blood poison that unfitted me for business for four years. A few bottles of Swift's Specific (S. S. S ) cured me.
