Rev. Dr. Talmage's Discourse on (he
Merciful Interpretation of Human
Behavior.
Wc Will Not Pais This Way A(alo, So Do
Your Oood Now.
W'AMitKOTO, D. C This direoure it '
a most 11n1iBt1.il presentation of things
that take place in many lives, and I Jr.
Talmnge plends for merciful interpretation
of human behavior. The text is Joshua
iii, 4. "Ye have not passed this way hereto
fore." In December, l'St), I vc.idcr! the Ttivcr
Jordan, and, nlthotih the current was
strong, I was able to bear up against it,
but in the time of spring freshet, when
tho snows on Mount Lebanon melt, noth
ing but a miracle would enable any one to
eroBS this river. It was at the dangerous
ppringtimo that Jorhui and the oilieers of
his army uttered the words of my text to
the people who were in a few hours to
cross the Jordan. Ahout that crossing wo
say but little, because on n previous occa
sion we discoursed concerning that piling
up of the waters into crystal bnrricnde.
We only speak of the march to the brink
of the river. No stranger thing has ever
occurred in all history.
The ark of the covenant Tens n brilliant
ehest of acacia wood, overlaid with gold,
on the top of which were two winped
ligures facing each other. It was five feet
long and three feet wide, l'olcs were
thrust throueh the rings at the side, nnd
by these poles the ark was lifted. This
splendid box was to be carried three
quarters of a mile ahead of tho hosts of
Israel on the way to the crossing. That
distance between the box and the advanc
ing thouiondfl must be kept because of
reverence. There was a sanctity in that
divine symbol that they must observe hy
keeping three-quarters of a mile nway.
They must watch that glittering bos nnd
follow; otherwise they wonld lose their
way and not arrive at the right place for
crossing. They had never been there be
fore, and they niuat be guided. For that
re:tson Joshua utters the words of my text,
"Ye hove not passed this way heretofore."
And tho subordinate officers nt the head
of the regiments repeated it, "Yo have not
passed this way hcrctofoT,e."
Whnt was truthfully said of the ancient
Israelite may be truthfully faid of us.
We are making our first r.ntl last journey
throuch this world. It in possible. n some
of my good friends believe, that this world
will be corrected nnd improved and puri
fied nnd iloralized and cmparadiscd as to
climate n:id soil nnd . character until it
shall become n heaven for the ransomed,
but I do not think it. I have en idea that
heaven is already built somewhere. Our
departed friends could not wait until this
world is fixed no for staintly and angelic
residence. Having once gone out of the
world, I do not think we v.-ill come back,
except ns ministering snirits to hip those
who remain in the onrthlv Flrugiiie or per
haps to look at the wondrous spectacle of
0 burning planet.
But, leaving that theory n'ide. we nro
very sure that we are for the first time
walking the earthly pilirrimaite. "Ye have
not passed this way before." Every min
ute is n new minute, every hour a new
hour, every century a new icntury. Other
folks have pone over the enmn roail wc ara
traveling, but it is our first trip. New ap
licarances, new tentntations, new sorrows,
new joys. That is the reason so many lo3e
their way. They meet some one on the
road of life anil ask for direction, nnd
wrong direction is given. Wo have nil
been Yerplexcd by misdirection after nsk
ing the v.-ny to some place we wished to
visit. Pome one said to us. "Take the first
road to the rittht and. having go-.ie a milo
on that road, take tho first road on tho
left, nnd von will oon reach your destina
tion." Wo took the advice, but our infor
mer fortrot a turn in the road or fovgot
one of the roads Icail'mg to the left, and we
took the wront: rond and were lost iu the
woods, and nilit came on, and wc were
put to great irritation and trouble.
The fact is. I b'.nme no one for mnkinp
lifetime mistake". I pity them instea-1 of
blaming them. There nre so manv wrong
roads, but only one rittht one. Y01 can
not in midlife draw upon your vouthful ex
periences for wisdom, for midlife 13 so en
tirely different from youth. You cannot
in old aste draw upon midlife experiences,
for the two elites of existence are so di
verse. What is wisdom for one man to
do would he folly for another to undertake.
A man of nerve nnd nluck is not qualified
to advise a man timid and shrinking. An
achievement that wonld be easv for you
mirht be impossible for me. Human ad
vice is ordinarily of little value. People
review their own sueceses or failures and
then tell us what is best for us to do. not
realizing that our circumstance arc differ
ent, our temperament is different, our
physical and mental end moral capacities
different. Most of tho great mistakes
that have been made have been made un
der human advisement.
So, nlso, it may be said to every nation.
"Ye have not passed this way before."
Our own republic is going through novel
experiences. Could wisest statesman
twenty years ago have prophesied present
conditions? Every President, every Con
gress, has new crises to meet and new
questions to settle. So prophecies mndo
about conditions in this country fifty
years from now may turn out as far untrue
as tae prophecies made fifty years ago by
t'10 greatest of American statesmen when
he declared on vondcr Canitol hill that it
was unwise to think of civilization or pros
perity the other side of the lioeky Mount
ains, and aeco-ding to his belief the Pa
cific co-ist would be the perpetual abode of
barbarians and mountain lions, and we
must not think of annexing those forbid
ding regions.
Many prophecies in regard to our nation
failed and mnny prophecies concerning its
future will fail, because it is traveling a
new road. Every s'ep it takes on thrt
road is a novelty. Tho amnion of a Mon
roe or a Jefferson In the far past i3 not of
&s much val te aa the opinion nf our wisest
men now. How could men know in 1B'.13
what it would be best, for this nation to do
in 19C1 ? It is belittling as well as unwise
for o tr statesmen, who are quite equal to
the statesmen of tho past and who have,
in addition to the natural talents of their
predecessors, attainments in knowledge
that were impossible in any decade but
our own, to depend on advice of men who
have been dead three-qunrtera of a' cen
tury. In nil other things the world has
advanced. Can it be that in statesman
ship it has cone bck. and that this open
ing of the twentieth century must consult
the opening of the nineteenth century?
"Ye have not passed this way before."
Ya, our entire world is on a new path
way. It may be swinging in the same old
orbit as when by tho hand of the Al
nighty immensity was sprinkled with
worlds, but it has been rocked with earth
quakes and scorched with volcanic fires
and whelmed with tidal waves and
wrought upon by climatic changes cities
link, nnd islands lii'led, and mountains
avalunched into valleys.
So it is another world than that which
was first started in the solar system. Yet
it is all the time changing ami will keep
changing until the hour of its demolition.
Of this beautiful world, this lustrous,
world, this glorious world, it may be said,
"Ye have not passed this way before. "
What is the practical use of this sub
ject? Instead of putting so much stress
upon human advice and instead of asking
of the paHt what we ought to do, follow
the divine leading as the men of Joshua
followed the golden lidded chest of acacia,
which was the symbol of the divine pica
tnee. That three-quarters of a mile distance
between the ark or sacred box and tiie
front column of Joshua's troAps mightily
impresses me. It was a forceful war of
teaching reverence for the Almighty. They
needed to learn that lesson of reverence,
as we all need to learn it. Irreverence has
cursed all nations, nnd none more than'
our own. Irreverence in the uso of God's
name. Hear you it not on the streets and
in social groups, and is not a profane word
sometimes thought necessary to point jo
cosity? Irreverence for the Scriptures,
the phraseology of the Bible often intt6
dueed into the most frivolous conversation
and made mirth provoking. Irreverence
for the oath in courtroom or custom houne
or legislative hall by tho conventional and
mechanical mode of its administration.
Irreverence fur the holy Fabhath by the
wojr it U broken in pleasure excursion and
carousal. Irreverence on the pnrt of chil
dren for their parents, insolence being
substituted for obedience. Irreverence for
rulers, which induces vile cartoons and as
sassination. Irreverence in church during
prayer, measuring off aong and sermon by
cold, artistic or literary criticism, and in
prayer time neither bowing the head nor
bending the knee nor standing ns one does
in the presenre of earthly ruler, thus show
ing more respect for a man than to the
King of kings. Wc ask not for genuflex
ions or eircumftcxions or prostrations, but
when prayer is offered let us cither bow
tho head or bend the knee or let us in
some way prove that we arc not indiffer
ent!. No one has come to midlife who has not
been stung of ingratitude. On the battle
field of Alma in 1M4 a wounded Russian
was eryinet in anguish of thirst for water.
Captain Eddington. of the English Army,
ran to him nnd gave him drink. As the
captain was running bv to join his regi
ment the wounded soldier shot him. Al
most all lang uages have nroverbs setting
forth this perversity. English proverb,
"Bring up n raven and it will pick out
your eyes." Arabic proverb. "Eat the
present and break the dish." Italian pro
verb. "The sss. after having drunk, gives
a kick to the bucket." An old proverb
says, "If Ootl were to be so complacent
as to carry tts on His back to Home, we
would not thank Ilim for His pnins if He
did not also set ui down in nn easy chair."
You will never be happy in this world if
yon do not do all the good you can nnd
look for nn responsive gratitude. All tho
damage I did a man who is my enemv was
to take him from a position where he re
ceived R700 a year salary into a position
where he hns ever since received K'M a
year. Ho never forgave me. but has pur
sued mo with pen vitriolic ever since.
The worst enemy you ever had is the man
you introduced and favored nnd helped.
But be not disturbed or even irritated.
Yon nre no better than your Lord.
If the world had had any thankful ap
preciation of His coming it would have
tilled that Bethlehem caravansary with
flowers, which bloom there clear on into
the December month, nnd Herod, instead
of nttempting His death, would have sent
a chariot to fetch tho infant to the palace,
end tho oyer nnd terminer of Piinte's
courtroom would have pronounced Him
not guilty, and instead of a erosi and a
crown of thorns it would have been a coro
nation, with nil the mighty ones of the
earth kneeling nt tho foot of His throne.
But closely allied is the other fact which
we hinted at in the openlne that v.o will
not pass this way again. This is our only
opportunity for doing certain things that
ought to be done. On all sides there are
griefs wc otudit to solace, hunger we audit
to feed, cold that v.e ought to warm, kind
words that we otijt'nt to speak, generous
ueens wo ongnt to periorm. All that you
nnd I do toward making this world better
and lumpier wc must do very soon or
l-.cv-er do at all. Joshua and his troops
never rame back over the way they vote
marching toward the crossing' of the Jor
dan. The impress of the sandal or the
bare fret of each soldier showed in what
direction he was going, but never did the
impress of tho sandul of any one of them
show that ho had returned. Wn are all
facing eternity to come. There is no re
treat. Alertness nnd fidelity would not be
rn important if we could truthfully fay:
"I will be back here ngiin. The thiivs l
ncglee now I will do the next time I coir.c.
I will be reincarnated, and I will resume
my earthly obligation. Having then more
knowledge than I have now, I will dis
charge my earthly duties better than I
ea.i now discharge tliein. I do not give
solemn farewell to thene obligations nnd
opportunities, but n Kiuiiing and cheery
gnat' -bye until I Fee them attain." Nci,
we cannot say that. There will be no new
nnd corrected edition 01 the volume of our
earthly life. After we make exit from the
stage nt the close of the lii'th net we can
not re-enter.
How many millions of pcop'e have lived
and died I know not, but of nil the human
race who have pone only seven persona
t lint I now think of have returned, the son
of the widow at Zareplmtb, the young man
rf Nam, the ruler's daughter, Tabithi.
Kutycliiis, I.azarus and Christ. Among all
the ages to conio I do not suppose there
will be one more who will return to this
life, having once left it.
At this point I ask yon to notice the
fact that my text doc.i not, call attention
to the crossing of the Jordan, hut to the
way leading thereto. We all think much
of our crossing of tho Jordan when the
march of our life is ended, but put too lit
tle emphasis on tha way thnt lends to the
crossing. What you anil I need most to
cure about, is the direction of the road wc
are traveling. We need hnve no fear of
the crossing if we coma to it in the right
way. In other words, we need not cure
about death if our life has been what it
auzht to be. We will die right if we live
right.
What an absurdity it would have been
for Joshua nnd his men to have asked
each other questions like these: "How can
wo cross the Jordan if we get there? Will
not the water be too deep to allow us to
wade? Will wo not all be so saturated
that we may lose our lives by exposure?
How many of us con swim? Had we bet
ter not wnit until the annual freshet has
subsided?" No such folly did they com
mit. They were chiefly anxious about the
way that they had "not passed before"
and were ignorant of nnd tu keep their
eyes on tho golden covered acacia box,
wing mounted, which was the ark of the
covenant.
O hearer, stop bothering nboit your exit
from sublunary scenes! By the grace of
God get your heart right and then go
ahead. If the Lord takes care of you clear
on to the bank on this side of the river, I
think you can trust Him to take you from
bonk to bank, from the willows on this
side the stream to tho pnlnis on the other
side, from the Inst kis of sorrowing ones
on this side to the welcome, saintly, chcr
bic. seraphic, dcific on the other side.
One Easter mornitvt Masscna, the Mai
shal of Erancc, appeared with 18,IKT0
armed men on the heights above the town
of Feldkireh. There were no arms to de
fend the town, nnd the inhabitants were
wild with terror. Then the old dean of
the church cried out: "My brothers, this
is Easter day! Wo have been depending
I on our own strength, and that fails. Let
us turn to God. King ttie nells nntl liavo
service ns U6unl." Then the .bells rniifi
out sweetly and mightily from the chur. ii
towers of Feldkireh, end the people
thronged to the houses of prayer for wo
ship. The sound of the bells made Uio-enemy
think that tho Austrian army had
come in to save the place, and Massena
and his 18,000 soldiers retreated. By the
time the bells had stopped ringing there
was not one soldier in sight. Ho put your
trust in God. and when koala of troubles
and temptations march for your over
throw ring all tho bells of hope and faith
and Christian triumph, and the threaten
ing perils of your life will full back, and
your deliverance will be celebrated nil up
and down the skies. The God who led you
through the way you never passed before
will bo with you at all the crossings.

municated. Atutels say, "Unto you," but
this child v.-es born for the beneiit o; us
men. of us sinners, of nil leli?,'er.j. to the

prophet foresaw the .Uc.leeuiei- of til"
world. A little later came the v-sio'.i of
the' suffering Saviour (Isa. it."); 'hop tV"
town where He nlinnld be bo'-n (M'cah Tr'

through Daniel. These prophecies were

He can go no farther. Hov Godhood

incomprehensible are not incredible. Ad
divine works lire wonderful, "('oiin.sellor. '
One who has wisdom to guide himself ana
others. Jesus was the embodiment of the
wisdom of God. A Saviour, bot'i Cod
and mnn a personal revelation of God'o
love, a perfect character nnd examp'e, the
sum of nil motives for being good, the
otonement that takes away uin while it

wisdom, so He has strength: Ho is able
to save to the uttermo.it; and such is tiio
work of the Mediator thut no less a pow

complish it. He has control of all foreea
for the salvation of men; He can conquer
all enemies, make His kingdom triumphant
over all obstacles, can always stand be
fore and above Hia people, leading them
on to higher and higher developments.
"Everlasting Father." Expressing the di
vine love and pity for men, a love that
can never fail, for it is everlasting. The
i'ather pitieth His children thnt ate weak
in knowledge, and instructs them: pities
them when they are forward ami
bears with them; pities them wheu
tliey arc sick and comforts them;
when they are fallen, and helps them
up again; when they have offended
and upon their submission forgives them;
when they are wronged, and rights them.
Thus "the Lord pitieth them that fear
Him." "Prince of Peace." As a King Ho
preserves, commands, creates peace. His
peace both keeps the hearts of His people
and rules in them. He is the author of
all that peace which is the present and fu
ture blius of His subjects.

"The perversity of things inanimate
Is a natural law that should be made,
the subject of research, In my opin
ion," recently remarked nu observer
of the passing show. "Coming down
on an electric car this morning I es
sayed to light my cigar. Tho moving
car naturally created a strong breeze.
Four matches. 1 struck and all were
blown out. From tho fifth I managed
to get a light, when a man behind mo
asked me for somo fire. I reached the
blazing match to him unprotected, and
while the breeze was Just as strong, it
burned steadily until the man lit a
cigarette, and it was still ablaze when
I threw It over the rail. Such a thing,
I venture to say, happens constantly
in the experience of every smoker. In
deed, It la almost a proverb among
smokers that ono can't blow match
out after he has got a lli'ht. Drop a
collar button, and nine time out of
ten it will get to a pl nor, or les
