WORSHIPERS IN WALL STREET Male Inhuman Sacrifices on the Gorgeous iltar of Mammon. i TIME OF EECKOXIXG C0UING EOOX. rrrrciAi. tkligram to tub DiisrATcn.i Brooklyn, Hot. 13. The subject of dis coune chosen by Bev. Dr. Talmage for his first sermon after the national election, was one peculiarly appropriate to the money making spirit of the times. It was "The Golden Calf," the text selected being Exo dus xxxii, 20, "And he took the calf which they had made and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder and strewed it upon the water and made the children of Israel drink of it" People will have a god of some kind, and they prefer one ot their own maUlus- Hero come the Israelites, breaking off their sol den earrings, the men as well as the n onion, lor in those times they were micullne as well as feminine decorations. Where dla they get these beautiful gold earriiiRS, enm Ingup as they did fioni the desert? Oh, they borrowed them ottne Esyptlans when they left Eypt. Pat aside this curtain and yon see the polden calf ol modern idolatry. It is not like otner idols, made out of stocks or stone, but it has an ear to sensitive that it can bear the w hispers on "Wall street and Third street and State street, and the footfalls in the Bank of England, and the flutter of a Frenchman's heart on the Bourse. It has an eye so keen that it can see the rust on the farm or Michigan wheat and the insect in the Maryland peach-orchard, and the trampled grain under tlie hoof of the Bnssiau war charger. It is so mighty tliat it sv Ins nny way it w ill the world's shipping. It has Its faot on all the merchantmen and the fcteamer. It started the American Civil T nr, and under God stopped it. This golden calf or the text has its right front foot in New York, its left front foot in Chicago, its right back root in Charleston, it left back root in ew Orleans and when it sh.il.es itseli it shakes the world. It lias Its Temple and Its Altar. But every god must have its temple, and this golden call of the text is no exception. Its temple is vaster than St. Paul's. Stand ing at the head of the temple, as the presid ing deity, aro the hools and shoulders and eyes and cars and nostrils of the call of gold. I'nrther: every god mnst have not only its temple, but its altar of sacrifice, and this golden calf of the text is no exception. Its ultar is not made out ol stone as other itlt ir., but out ot counting loom desks uud Jlre-pioo' safes, and it is a broat', a long, a nigh altar The ictlms saciiflced on it aro innumerable. MThat docs this god cue about the gioan" and struggles ol theic tims before it? With cold, metallic eyo it looks on and yet lets them suffer. Ob! heaven and earth, what an allar! what a mcrifico of bodj , mind and soul! The phys ical health of a great multitude is flung on this sacrificial altar. They cannot sleep, and they take chloral and morphine and in toxicants. Tlieii nerves gone, their digestion gone, their brain gone, they die. The clergyman comes in and reads the tuneral service: "15!es-ed ai o the !ead w ho die in the Lord." Mistake. They dH not "die in the Lord;" tl.e golden call kicked them! The trouble is, when men sacrifice tlicin tclics on this altar suggested in tho text, they not only saciifico themselves hut they sacrifice their families. It a mm by an ill course is determined to go to perdition, I suppose you will have to let him go; but ho puts his wire and children in an equipage tlut is the amazement of the avenues and Slid the driver lashes the horses into two w hlrlninds, and the spokes flash in the sun, and the golden headgear of the harness gieams until Black Calainitv takes the bits of the hoises and stops them. The I)e otocs of the Stock Exchange. Still the degrading worship goes on, and the devotees kneel and kiss the dust and cross themseUcs with tho blood of theirown sacrifice. The music rolls on under the arches: it is made of clinking silver and clinging gold and the rattling specie of tho banks and biokers' shops and tho voices of all the exchanges The soprano ofthe wor ship is carried by tho timid voices of men who have just begun to speculate; while the deep bass tolls out fiom thoe w ho for ten j ears of inquity ha e been doubly damned. Chorus of oices rejoicing over wh.it they have made. Chorus of voices waillnc over what they have lost. This temple of which I speak stands open day and night, and thore is the glutei ing god with his lour leet on broken hearts and there is the smoking altar of sacrifice, new victim" every moment on it and there aie tho knoeling devotees; and the doxology of the worship rolls on, while Death stands with mouldy and skele ton arm beating time for the chorus More! mote! more! But my text suggests that this worship roust be bioken un,as tho behavior of Moses in my text indicated. So, my bearers, ytm may depend upon it that God will burn and lie will'gtlnd to pieces the golden calf of modern idolatiy, and he will compel the jS?"ple in their agony to drink it. It not be--i it will be so on the last dav. I know not wlite the flie will begin, but it will be a verv hot blaze. All the Government se curities of tne United States and Great Urita4i will curl up in tho first blast. What then w III become of your golden call? Who the.i so poor as to worship it? Melted, or between the upper aud the nether millstone of lulling mountains ground to powder. lagon down. Moloch down. Juggernaut down. Golden calf don n. Hard Times Are the Best Times. But, my friends, every day is a day of judgment, and God is all the time grinding to pieces the golden calf. Merchants of Brooklyn and i'eir Tork and London, what is the characteristic of this time in which we live? "Bad," you say. Professional men, -what is the charactei istic of the times in wbicli we live? "Bad," j ou say. Though I should be in a minority of one, I venture the opinion that these are the bot times wo have had, lor the reason that God is teach ing the world, as never before, that old iashloned honesty is the only thing that will stand. We have learned ao never before that for geries will not pay; that the spending of $50,000 on country seats and a palatial city lcsidonce, when there are only $30,000 in come, will not paj; that flie appropriation of trust funds to our own piivate specula tion will nt pay. We had a great national tumor. In the shapo of fictitious prosperity. We called It national enlargement; instead of calling it an enlargement w e might better hate called it a swelling. It has been a tumor aud God is cutting it out has cut It out, and the nation will get well and ill como back to the principles of our lathers and graudtathers when twice three made six instead of CU, and when tho apples at the bottom of tho b-iriel were Just as good as the apples on the top or the barrel, and a silk lmndkerchier was not half cotton, and a man who w ore a $3 coat paid Tor was moro honored than a man who wore a $50 coat not paid for. . The golden calf of our day, like the ono of the text, is very apt to bo made out of bor ro wed gold. A great many housekeepers, not paying for the articles they get. borrow of the grocer and the baker and the butcher and the drygoods seller. Then the retailer borrows of the wholesale dealer. A Day of Beckoning Is Coming. Arter a while the capitalist wants his money and he rushes upon tho wholesale dealer, and the wholesale dealer wants his money and he rushes upon the retailer, and the retailer wants bis money and he 'rushes upon the consumer, and we all go down to gether. It is this temptation to borrow, and borrow, that xcops ihe peoylo cveilnst iii'ly praying to the golden cair for help, ind just at the minute they expect the help tho golden calf trcadi on them. The Judg ments or God, like Moses in the text, will rush in and breakup this worship; and I say, let the work co on until every man shall learn to speak the truth with his neighbor, and those who make engagements shall feel themselves bound to keep them, and when a man who will not ropent or his business iniquity, but goes on wishing o satiate his cannibal appetite by de vouring -widows houses, shall, by tho law or the land, bo compelled to exchange his mansion for bins Sing. Let the golden CaBut,e my 'friends, if we have made this world our god, when wo come to die we will ce our idol .demolished. Ah, my friends! if wo have made this world our god, when we die wo will eo our idol ground to pieces by our people, and we will have to drink it in bitter rogrots Tor tho wasted op portunities of a lifetime. , Scrofula Humor "Port years I suffered with scrofula.
