Secretary J. Bi Harrison. of the
New Hampshire I'orestry Commission
in an address to the people of that
state offers to speak wherever a meet-
ing can be arranged on the subject of
the waste of New Hampshire's natural
resources, by which he means the de-
struction of its forests. He hopes by
arousing the people to the danger of
losing eventually their ‘summer busi-
ness” fo evert h.pressure on the Legis:
lature that will result in the passage
of laws for the protection and preser-
vation of the woodlands, ¢It is time,”
he declares, ‘for some advance in the
methods ot discussion of forestry and
related subjects. The course hitherto
generally followed in this country by
writers and speakers on tliese topics is
inadequate for our situation here. We
shall have to get down from our
rlietorical stilts pretty soon and face
the facts in tie case, or we shall. not
have much grand and beantiful
scenery to tall about.” Mr. Harrison
“is not actuated, maintains the New
York Post,” merely by sentimental
motives, as the lnmbermen might
tern his love for: the scenic beau-
ties of New Hampshire. He also
points out that with the devastation of
the forests the watercourses must
dwindle and dry up and the manufac
toring interests of the State suffer in.

peal is reinforced by a speech of Dr.
- William Everett of Massachusetts on
the same subject at the Hingham Fair,
in which he said: “We claim to be fax

THE WORSHIP OF THE IDOL OF OLE TIMES. IN-

ALTER OF MAMMON,
a
HE subject of dis-
course cliosen by Rev.
a\ Dr. Talmage of
5,2) Brooklyn, N. Y.. for
UNI + his first sermon after
9 \ national election, was
one peculiarly appro:
riate 10 the money-
a) io spirit of the
5 times, It was “The
Golden Calf,” thetext 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 of their own making. Here
come the Israelites, breaking off their pol:
for in those times they were masculine as
well as feminine decorations. Where did
timey get these beautiful gold earrings, com-
ing up as they did from the desert? Oh they
borrowed them of the Egyptians when they
left Egypt. :
Put aside this curtain and you. see th
golden calf of modern idolatry. It is not
like other idols, made out of stocks or stone.
but 1t has an ear so sensitive that it ean
hear the whispers 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 of Michigan wheat and the insect
in the Maryland peach-orchard, and the
trampled grain under the hoof of theRussian
war charger. It is so mighty that it swings
any way it will the world’s shipping. It
has its foot on all the merchantmen and
the steamers. It started’ the Awerican
Civil War, and under God stopped it.
This golden calf of the text has its right
front foot in New York, its left front foot
in Chicago, its 1ight back foot in Charleston,
its le t back foot 1n New Orleans. and when
it shakes itself it shakes the world.
But every god must have its temple, and
the golden calf 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, are the hoofs and shoulders and
eyed and ears and nostrils of the calf of
goia.
Further; every god must not only have its
temple, but its altar of (sacrifice... and this
golden calf of the text is no exception. Its
altar isnot made out of stone -as other
altars, but out of counting room desks and
fire-proof safes, and it is a broad, a long, a
higl tar. The victims sacrificed on it are
innumerable. What does this god care
about the groans and strugzles of the vic.
tims before it? With cold, metallic eye it
looks on and vet lets them suffer. Oh!
heaven and earth. what an altar! what a
sacrifice of body, 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, .
Their sierves gone, their digestion gone,
their brain gone, they die. Tbe clergyman
comes in and reads the funeral services:
**Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord.”
Mistake. They did not ‘‘diein the Lord;"
the golden calf kicked them!
The troubie is, when men sacrifice them-
selves on the altar suggested in the text
they not onlv sacrifice themselves, but they
sacrifice their families.” If a man by an ill
course is determined to go to perdition, IT
suppose you will have to let him go; but he
puts his wife and chi dren into an equipage
that isthe amazement of the avenues, and
the driver lashes the horses into twe whirl:
winds, and tlie spokes fla~h in the sun. and
the golden headgear of the harness gleams,
until Black Calamity takes the bits of the
horses and stops them.
Still the degrading worship goes on, and
the devotees kneel and kiss the dust’ and
cro-s themselves with the bloo 1 of theirown
sacrifice, The music rolls on under the
arches; it is madé of clinking silver and
clinking gold and the rattling specie of the
banks and brokers’ shops and the voices of
all the exchanges. The soprano of the wor-
ship is carried by the timid voices of men
who have just begun to speculate; while the
deep bass rolls out from those who for ten
years of iniquity have been doubly damned.
Chorus of voices rejoicing over what they
have made. Chorus of voices wailing over
what they have lost. This temple of which
I speak standsopen day and night, and
there is the glittering god with his four feet
on broken hearts and there is the smoking
altar of sacrifice, new victims every mo-
ment on it and there are the kneeling devo-
tees; and the doxology of the yorship rolls
on, while death stands with mouldy and
skeleton arm beating time for the chorus—
More! more! more!
But my text suggests that this worship
must be broken up, asx the behavoir of
Moses in my next text indicated. So, my
hearers, you may depend npon it ‘that: God
will burn and he will grind to pieces the
golden calf of modern idolatry, and he will
compel the people in their agony to drink
it. If not before. it will be so on the last
day. I know not where the fire will begin,
but it will be a hot blaze. Al the Govern-
ment securities of the United States and
Great Britain will curl up in the first blast.
What then will become of your golden calf?
Who then so'poor as to worship it? Melted,
or between the upper and the nether mill-
stone of falling mountains ground to pow:
der. Dagon down. Moloch nown. Jug.
gernaut down. Golden calf down.
But, my friends, every day is a day of
judgment, and God is all the time grinding
to pieces the golden calf. Merchants of
rooklyn and New York and London, what
is the characteristic of the time in which
we live? ‘‘Bad,” yousay. Professional men,
what is the characteristic of the time in
which we live? ‘‘Bad,” you say. Though 1
should pe in a minority of one, I venture
the opinion that these are the best times we
have had. for the reason that God is teach-
ing the world, as never before, that old-
fashioned honesty is the only thing that
will stand.
‘We have learned as never before that for-
geries will not pay; that the spending of
$50,000 on connry seats and a palatial city
residence, when thereare only $30,000 in-
come, will not pay; that the appropriation
of trust funds to our own private speculation
will not pay. We had a great national
tumor, in the shape of fictitious prosperity.
We called 1t navionai enlargement; instead
of calling it an enlargement we might better
have called it a swelling. It has been a
tumor and God is cutting it out—has cut it
out, and the nation will get wall and will
come back to the principles of our fathers
and grandfathers when twice three made
Bix instead of 60, and when the apples at the
bottom of the barrel were just as good as
the apples at the top of the barrel, and a silk
handkerchief was not half cotton, and a
man who wore a $5 coat paid for"wad more
honored than a man who wore a $50 coat not
paid for.
The golden calf of our day, like the one of
the text, is very apt to be made out of bor-
rowed gold. great many housekeepers,
not paying for the articles they get, borrow

the retailer wants his money and he rushes

borrow, that keeps the people everlasiingly
praying to the golden calf for Lelp, and
just at the minute they expect help (the
