THE CHICAGO LIBUNE MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 1870 RELIGIOUS. Talmage Tackles National Affairs for a Change. Prof, Swing Preaches on Religion as a Life-Motive. Referring Therein to Bob Ingerlolhl'l Recent Imago Purchases. The Rev. J. Munro Gibson or the Point of Bight of the Bible, TALMAGE. TRYTERDAY, Epectal Dirpateh to The Tridune, Nzw York, Jan, B.—Talmage ventured to desl with wicked Waabington this morning. The Tabernacle was not crowded, by any mean: Previons to preaching, Mr. Talmage sald he was requested by the Bessfons to announce that ilenry L. Elmore, having been found gulity of gross immorality and sin, has been suspended from the tembeeship and communion of the Tabernacle. '*Next Babbath,” con- tioued the speaker, I wills prea {o review of my critice, clerical and Iay. I bave been preaching twenty-one years, ond have never befora replied to anything sald against me, I proposo to show what I think the work of the Christian minlster ought to be, and haw beought to treat the evilsof the day.” The text wae Zacharfah, vill,, 5: * The strcets of tha «ity shall be full of boys and girls play- ing fn the streets thereof.” Talmaze bezan with a deseription of a gospelized city, fu which children woulil be able to play ol in the streets without the/protection ofgthe police. “1 have laughed daring the last six weeks to see clergymen gofog abont with courtplaster trving to conceal the slus I have been probing. Io morals I am an allopathist,—1 belleve in giviog & good stout dose first, and then apply- ing the salve of the Gospel. Nomau s more exhalirant fn his hope of the future prosperity snd gooodness of our cities than I, but i be- leve they must be founded on exposure." TILE MONAL CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY was then discussed from tlic standpolnt of Washington, Iu the speaker’s opinlon, the Cabital will bo changed to the banks of the Mississipp! or Missouri In less than n century, but Washington is now the heart of the nation, sending out, with good blood, health, or with bad blood, disense, all over theland, It was a foscinating clty, snd had reached n bigher morality than over before. ‘Thers were to be found the prandest achicvements of sculpture, architecturs, sod valnting. Talmage would put the brass doors of the Capitol against those of the Madeloino In Parfs; the Capltol itsclf agalnst tho Tullerica or the Parllament-House in London; and Luetz's palntings and Brumldi's frescoes againat tho beat, works of .the old masters. A joke dragged In at this point abiout back-pay aud Creait-Movil- lerism TROVING TOO 8TALN * foreven 8 Tabernacle audionce, the speaker went on to say Lie hnd seen Wasbington under both phases, and its morals wero B0 per ceut better than when Congress was away. - That fetehed them. ‘Uhe laughter was uproarious. ‘““Itisa bad thing,"” continued the speaker, ‘““that our legislators leave thelr familles at home. A wan deprived of femals soclety fs naturally @ bear. Why, * it s even sald that minfsters on vacatlona go to tho Saratopn horsc-races. On the other hand, 1 bave been told of a Congressman who gave up the ofl-terms to prayer.” The speaker rattled oft a long lHst of crimiual statistics, and kravely recorded his opinfon that a beat of ton miles in lepgth was too much for a mounted policeman to cover. lle then broke out rhap- sodically: ¢ What an improvement has taken place since the day when rum-shops were in full blast fn the Natfonal Capltal, and Con- gressmen went Into them beforo making aspecch for Insplratfon, and, after a specen, for recupera- tion! Our thanke for removiug them are dus to Henry Wilsou and others like him. During tho \Var thore were 100 gambiing-houses and 800 professional gamblers in Washington, One of them boasted of liaving cleared In one year $1.500,000.

Palltics aside, there bas never been a purer ‘White-Housc, less rum and tobacee, more Mothe odist hymu-books, or higher morality than to- day, [Great applause.] The speaker sald ho would noe have the question of church-inem- b;nh!n toenter into polities, but -did demand that * GOOD MORALS SIOULD BE A QUALIFIOATION. * 1o an aspirant for office.

Prof, Bwiug preached yestordsy morpivg at e Central Church, takiug as his text: The yvoleo of the Lord is upou the watere; tho tod of glory thunderethi the Lord s upon wany waters. Tuo vuice 0f the Lord le powerful; the wolcw of tha Lora e full of msjesiy.—Pe., 2aid,, St 1t is impossible to wilix to soyoue of the considerations which Influénce the conduct of man the title of greatest. . The material world will submit to & measurement. Man may de- termine what mountain is highest, what river longeat, what sea deepost, but In the spiritual world he must throw aside ‘his exact measurc. ments and be content with the fecling that all fs great and myserious. The dust of the universe is measurable, but not so fts spiritual things. It f¢ as though the world, iIntellectoal and moral, wera preparing us to accept of the infinity of a God, Werathero any method by which we might compara together tha leading ideas which have led the humao family along Its great journey, it would seem that the motliveof religion has been most powerful. But thers s no standard or metliod of compatison here, and thercfore we must content ourselves by declaring great among the powera that have moved man, is the afirmation of relizion. Atsomo time In Mstory that gifted being, man, must have begun to fect that it was some more powerful being than he or than all his race that had placed the.sun andstars in the sky and bad made such a structuro as the earth, ‘fhe Biblementions a far-off time when men be- gan to call upon tho nawme of the Lord, and, outside the old record, all through Egyptian antlquity the mind s seen deducing from the cucompassment of man, the fact and presence of a Delty. Jov, once of the anctent books, pre- sents fu the most cloquent, and logical, and poetic of manners the arguinent that early drove soclety toward falth in the Creator, When this Chaldean Job asks, **Doth the hawk fly by Thy wisdom and atretch ber wings toward the south | Dotls the cagle mount up at Thy command and make hier nest on high! Who causeth It to rals on carth whersno man is! on the wilderness whereln {8 no mani" ho shows the human reason fn the oct of drawlng near toa God, The bundred or more of these sharp questions in thnat old treasure of literaturc reveal a natural theolory not surpassed by that of Xenophou, or Lactantins, or Paley. iu the four perlods represented Ly thcse four persovages,— Job, Xenophov, Lactautius, snd Paley,—the Chaldean. Greek, Ronun, and English periods, we percelve the bust forma of reason following ona linc of thought toward the nue conclusion— the Infiienl neceseity of n Creator. Whether, therefore, man cama Lo his reasoniug powers ot once by an Instantaneous ziit of his Creator, or camo thither by s Tong development from a kind of infancy of thought, he camo tv a 1ull convic- tion at last that there was a Being outside of the human race who was King of Kivgs and Lord of Lords. {tIs unknown ut what time In corth's bistory or Inman's history this religlous sentiment sprang into life, “but howeyer for back our students of the past go with thelr cxeavations and thelr decipherine, they cast up out of buried ruips or read from cuie graved stones or tiles, ab onca the treasures of ort aud ‘of_religlon, Thus we fnfer that the same intellectual power which mave birth toa fluc art gavo birth also to a religlon—t| thy vower of logte whichi led to au architecture, or an lmplement, or a sclence, led also to o Deity, for out of the snne heup of rulus como nlwnfa cumblems not only of the Leautiful but of the religlous. In the excavations of Rabylonin, George Bmith reads frown the buried tlies this pestm: “Oh my Lord, my trans- gression fe great, my sius many, Tho transgression 1 committed [ know not, 1 kuow mnot the sin I committed'—a panlm which shows us how the assumed ~holi- ness of a Uod drew tears of penlteucs from man thousands of years béfore David wrote lils peni- tentlal psalm, or before the Church gathered thesc aniritual regrets into s miserere. Dut wo need not deluy over the question of the antlqui- ty of thu religloys sentunent. 1t appears as soon a8 the human ‘munl uppears, Whervver our' scholars go to exhiumo somo burled clty, when they dle up a plece of writing or a fraginent of thao beautitul, there they dig up an image of a God aud a verse of na psalm, as thouglh Lo sthow us that where thero has come thoe intelllgenco that can write o poem or frume a law thera bas comae the logical power to Infer that man liad » Creator. < Wlien one of our public men, public speakers 1 mean, was tound recently ut an au:tion of an- tiques, bidding un all the lmages of chitdish ro- ligtous as though he were golng to kill Chrls- tianity by the ridiculo of a new and laughiable Pantlicon, he was vuly purchesing sbundant evidence that the human soul has alwaye buen tull of a tender relilous seatiment, thai looked up for an explanution of these yedrs o tull of juy and death, Asit would not bring musle nto ridicale, shoutd tho samu sativist burchase at atiction all the ram’s horus that vuce were blown around Jericho, nor il the shritl {!Ipnl of Pan, or the three stringed harps of Greek idlers, or the tum-tum deums of the Indians, so, should he accumulaton larze assortment of tetishes and divinities, he will have madv vo approoch toward any ndicule of the religions feeding iu mau. Asall the noble aentiments breas awoy from a childish past, aut rise into greatnesd, so religlon wili not be einbarrassed by sny small- ness of fts chlldliood, but 1t will guze steadily upon o dignificd presont and sn unvellling fu- ture. Haviog scen the simple fact that there s In the bosom of man a religlous motive, lot us pass now to consldur sotne of the plemeuts of ita power, A lirst clement of the powor of this motive moy bo found fn that quality of mind which feels consclous of the rightuoss and wrongness of setfons, Whcther the fden was funate or has been nequired need not be debated hiere, but by sumio means man has reached & full conviction that thoro sro thinds which he snould not do, and things which he should do, aud which are most noble things to do to hu done, sud out of this fumost consclouancas thero vomes the feol- lnr tuat there is some Creator of the unlyerse who i looklng after this buduess and gooduess of mankind, to puniah the one and reward the othier, Thus this universal and powerfut feelin of rightness and wronguess has been all through history, stimulating the motive called rellzion, In that legend or tact where Adsm or Can at- tempta to hitte from the results of o aly, wo sce in etublem the wholo human race attomting to cunceal its ban ucts from the eye of infiulte Justice, There being In mun n sensy of ein ond of virtue, what fs next de- manded is some tribunal before which the uctors must bo arraigned, In our carthly gove crumcnt, law of rigbt sud Wrong on bicatatute K s of no yalus uniess thera b some tri- bunal before which the case may be brought. it, therefory, comens Lo puss thut satme ceimluls fy to forulgn Btates, that they may fiud, not a place where vico becomes u virtue, but a place where there i8 no court havioe power to armlzn and enndemn. ‘Thero being tn wan o sense of rlzht and wrong, relizlon becomes a most potent fuflucnce, becauso it avvounves o judzment bar bufore which ull must stand, It completes the theory of virtuo and vice by ronindimg the soul that it {s dully approaching o tuul rendering of its accounts, " It the world hiad only luws aud a Law-giver, it would be as imperfect as would ho a State which shuuld have only a statuts book, and no courts, no exccutlve,” Rellrlon truns- forme the ereat Law-glver intoa preat fndxc, and lays thus the deen foundation of justlee, Like sl other jurms of truth, tils revercnce for thy Infinite Judro passed throuit its perlod of darkuness ung eeror, Men aticinpted torecure blesstngzs and pardon, oven to seenre ven- reance wpon encmics by olfering glits to the Judye, or by bindinz themselves with vows hat should cover the future, but'eraduslly the intethigence of wan has fonud regular, uniform tuws of God, tn obedlsucs of which 18 hupl- wess, I traustression of which fs sorrow; but buth thuse periods show us tho human ruce allke as Hving in the presenco of u Judge who will here aml bereaiter, or here slone, or hero- after alone, make Just return to thu evil and tho good. The relliious motive s thus clothed with the powers of i final justico, It tho workings of this great motlve, the fear of punlshent hus pertiaps been woro inftuen- tul than the sknple hwpe of hapoiness, but the part wiich the hope of seceptance with God, und of & blessed unlon with him here and here- alter, has perfornied s, could we see it ull, very {mpressive, Manw not obly dreads pain, but he loves hoppiuess, and theréfore (b has come to pass that countless litions 1h all thoes haveat- tumupted to hive noar to Uod, beesuss of the pres- cut and future blessudness of sucha compan- fouship. Revardless ot wny hell, they have loved {‘lw uality and the rewurds of virtue. Nug wnly the lfi-hru forms of Christian character, but also suiie of thehighess Putsns havesought uprichitness becauss of fts moral beauty—a beauty uf morsls, of mind, of scif consclous- ness aud poace. Burnualong by thelr relbglon nto ehis great discrimination aud cuiture of the riglit, 1t hus become to sowe 8 furm ol tuo besutiful. Mr. Fivld, the editor, who bhus traveled almost all over our earth, sud with hls Bubet ¢ open, snd with not a narrow scuse at that, saiid receutly that ke bad found fn Tazan Iauds, where our Christinnity was unknown, snine most cbarming souls who loved virtue au loty as much us child ever loved a lower. Hav- fiu( {n cre of introduction to a local Prince, the Priuce sent word to Mr. Fleld that ou thu inor- vow ho would be st his service, but that that duy just passiog, he was keeplng o communion Wwilli bls-God. * With the sun of the next moro- ing the venvrable pagan came along with richly- caparisoned clepbants - for bis gucsts. But the beauty of the story fa yot 10 tome, for Mr. Fleld soon fouud himself v the palaco of & mau ayralust whow uo voor man or wowan vould bring auy cbarge of auy form of dishouur but of his long The neigbbor- Bbood looking to hiw 1or a balt century could ses only tue beauty of gooduness, It niust bave been out of this study of Gud as the cmbiew of Clristian | Virtue and ot fta happincss that those pogan wise men of Tudla framed thelr rebuke to the British sporting officers, cxproased In thesa Mnes: **You Christfans must have a stranga religion, tor §n our divine philosophy the death of a bird inay ba o necesally, but it can neyer bu apleasure.” If now, within the twilight of a pogan falth, the soul can extract such high “views and such a spiritual joy from contemoplating the pliety and tenderness of tho Delty, what nug not this religious motive become when zuided and nflamed by the hotiee light, issuing from the l\wcu of “our dlvine buoks? In our era ihe standard of goodneas Iound In the New Testanicnt, unvelling as it does the true (lod, marks the uprisior of a new puswer to awny the soul,—a power which, like a 8cd, can earry upon its wide bosom a vast army of soldiers of a higher life, not armndas of cruel troope, but of kind and enlightened men, Nexttothis clement of right antl wroow, as de- veloped by the standard ‘of a God, must be reckoned the influence of all that mystery which 1s grouped under the general name of relizlon. Al have been deeply affected by these questions of final destiny, aud, as they are mcde the spcclal study of religion, they must be consid. ered ns a part of its powerful motive. 8clence declines the inquiry about heaten and nell and immortal life. Tt confesscs, perbaps Qumbly, perhiapa sarcastically, that its stidy terminates with the dissolition of the body,—~that It has no crucible, nor balauces, nor spectrum with which to examline a soul. Politics savs nothing sbout any empire beyond the tomb. Even thedivinely called Mosea lilmaclt when he was writing down the laws of his avciety on & mountaln smoking and lot with justice made no allusion to an Ianid boyond Canaan, any lfe beyond this, an this ecverity of the State returns in our 03' to exclude from leginlation the nama of & Uul. Morc andemore munkind commits to relizion afl this great argument and great conjecture over things beyond the coffia of our dust. Thus re- lglon stands alonc as a vase full of terivs— those black and white flowers of the sepulchre, Of all solemnities of wiich the miud can con- ceive, death Is thegreatest. Even when not the King of Terrors, it ia at least the King of Mys- teries. Bhoulll we know that a nan were'to bo put to death n our city, ad ncertain hour to- morraw, alimost all hearts would beat strangely out of measure futhat nument. Buriness would pause in all the strects in the one minute of such & public and fixed death. As when a plano- strine is struck, all metals fn the room that are fu harinony vibrate in compantoushiv; 80 werea miurderer dooted to die v a public aquare, at n tixed moment, » halt milifon hearts would beat in the sgony, not from any utisun of critne, but from o fellowship fu death's awlul mystery. Men walk sottly when they walk among raves, ‘Those of you who, In former years, ave walked through s country chun»llynn] whera the house of prayer aslways stands amid the white atones of loving memory, can remember still with what guarded fout and guarded valce you went from willow to willuw, or frum slab to slab In the June grassl You needed no book of etfquette to romiud you that i;zu hind found a piace wiiere the fout must not i haste, norbe rude, and where there should Le o more quiet tone of volue, und where specch should wisn to give place 10 meditation. "It Is not to be wondered at that tho sweetest of pocms came to urng when he thus moved or rested among the churchyard yewtrees. Now this sentiinent which su possesss the heart in these pecullar moments spreads all over lifo and there are perhaps fow days when the musk, of betngz [s not strangely intermingled with that more sulemu strain risiog up from the vell of death. ‘Thero may bu hure and there an cmpty heurt and a thoughtless brain across which no ehnreh-yard meditation passes for montns or cars together, but these are exceptional, and cave unaifected the truth that no unu reficetion comes to man with such uniformity and power a8 the thought that in a few yoars we shall all be far away, This is the thought that fills the ‘chiurches on tho holy days, and which makes those who differ fu creed nnd those who hold no creed foln willlngly in one bymu, because all hearts aro one in this rellgious mystery, A comion grave creates a common rellglon. Uur deopest thinkers have shown us how ¢limute and the foriuution of the ground affect chinructer, ‘l‘lu:; find o certain cullure coming out of Beotland's hills, and Fronce's sunshine, and out of Egyot's mild sky and dreainy afr; they tell us thac that dry climate of the desert fovited Egypt to dream of no decay of art or 4 they tell us that tho Southern xones ro- ought, and that the North redoubtes it, thquukes dovelop cowards, hat war wmalkes heroes; that the intellect was mado dull 1n the * thick alr of Bwotla,” and they flnd the varying fuflucucs of food and pursuits and {usiltutiol they show us that homo and democraey came lssulng from the feudal houss where a Lord began todetract froma King, and where tho fireslde becamu 8 sehivol, a cottage, and achurch: b|lrlltvl' we havo gathored up and have messured aif these hands that have shaped the soul's clay, we shall find them all surpassed by tracings made hWipon vur burns of life by tno heavy and strange band of death.

GIBSON. .THE POINT OF BIONT GF THR RIBLR, ‘Thero was a very large attendance yesterday at tho regular Farwell Hall Sabbath-afternoon exercises of song and Biblesreading,—the ona led by I'rof. Casa's cholr of inale volces and the Farwell [Tall choir, and the other by the Hev. I, Munro Gibson. Despite the cold weather the hall was more nearly full than It has been for many Sundays past. Dr. Gibson, Iu commencing his dlscourse, said that it had been hls fntention to commence the new year with Exodus and procecd right through the Bible without further delay. But by request be bnd decided todwella littls longer and be alittle moro explicit upon one of tho ideas of bis last exposition,— **The Point of Bight of the Bible.” That idea had not Leen fully developed, Christ was tho Point of Sicht. tle wished to speak par- ticularly about that verse In (ienesis which said that the sced of the woman stiould brujse the head of the .sarpent. Thst verse was some- times called tho beginning of the Gospel. Burely 1t was not the form of Qospel—It was the form of ncurse. It was a curse, aud tho first one et with ln the perusal of the Scriptures. Iuwas uotacurse upon mankind, buta curse upon the adversiry of mankind; upon sin, and death, and biell; acurss upon & curse. It was tiot 8 curse upan the womau, nor yet upon tho man. True, it was eat} that the woman's sor- row should bo Increasod; and It was also true that the ground was cursed on account of tho nun, But the cursewus upon the tempter of tho man. **Becaure thou hast done thisthou art cursed.” Some people would doubt that the QGospclcould come fn the form of acurae, It not ouly could come thut way, but It must come that wav. o There were those who shut thelr cyes to the curse,—to the &ln and the death,—and there were preachiers who passed over the curse In a good-natured, furgetful kind of a way, leaving 1t out of theirsermons. Bubcould the curse be overcome in that way of noglect? That which did not curse sin was no Gospelatall, Uospel must curse It, must root it out and destroy it. ‘The curse was suecestive of o great conflict; of o conflict between the secd of woman and the serpent, and this con- filet was capnble of three divisions: First, a personal conflict, arising out of the enmity be- tween the serpent aud thefroman, The fie- Lrow teuse was plain that 1t was meant that not only will -that onmity exlet, but it wus and is existing. The enmity commenced when the curac was protiounced, when the power of the seruent was combatted by the womnn, At the womcent when shio becamo the opponent of the surpent shie beeamt a snint,—‘‘onc scparated from &in,"” in the Biblo meaning of the word,— and as such she was tho first tye of the Church of dod, of all believers. “She beeamo the mother, a8 it were, of the pencrations of bellevers, even as the Church is called the SMother Churcll Becond, a gencral con- Bict, ** And between thy seed and hor sced,"'— between the sced of tho serpent and the aced of the woman. We ary fold In Julmn thot the ns- saflants of the Lord Jesus totd ftim, ** We be Abraham's sced.” And Jesus told then that thoy sougntto ki1 Him; that i€ they were Abra- linu’s sced thoy would do the works of Abra- ham, 1io told thein they weto of their father, the Devil. In Matthew Jesus spoke of them us erponts,” and Paul had exclaimed of them: “0n, full of all subtlety and mischief,' In Johu was found the saving that he who coni- mitteth sin 1a of the Devil. rFrom the very be- giuning the idea of the contlidt between the secd of the serpent and theseed of the woman was fna spiritual senac, not In 8 litern! sense. It was an {den of 4 cunflict batween the spirltual serpent and the spiritual good seed. 'Fifed, u sucelol conflict. ** Aud it shall brulse thy lead and thou sholt bratse bls heel.” While” Chrlst was not plainiy outlined fn that passuge, the great llnes couverged on Ilim. It “was 1ot a generul proplicey to the cffect that tho righteous should fght for a lovg thne and finally vvercome the cncm{; but a speclal ndication: Ana thou shalt brulse bis heel’ Only at this point ald victory mppear. It was a speclal conflice be- tween Christ and the enemy. All through the struggle Christ was to fight not only whl unbelicvers and evil- wminded wen, but with the very spirit of ovil. Entirely apart from the conflict with men was the vonillet with tho cvil spirits whoeo presence the speuker knew all men must fecl at certain times, Christ oattled with thoso evil sbirits. In Jotm it wus sald by Christ: **Now s the Judement of the world.” ¢ Judgment was Verigla.? Then vias the crists when Christ und the evil spirits wero to do battle for supremacy, and the world hung fn the balance, Christ (ufll IHIs dssciples that He would not talkunuch with them, for the Prince of this world cometh.* Tho buttle with that * Prince explajned the terriblo arony in the ganden and the angulsh of'” the croar. Christ's death was unlitio the deathol the martyrs, and not beevuso o wos less brave than they, They died in peace sud with smles on their faces, though the lire was burning them to s crlav, Curist died in anguish b s He had foutht tight which thoy knew naught of. Ho fought the battle for them, und woun it _Lhat they mlght dlve with Him. Thus {6 wan that was fulfiiled thae which was written: * Aad he shall brufse thy head and thou shult bruiss his heel.” Now hiat Chrlst had secured the victory, it was sceure tor all thne.

In the caso of Tycing vs. Carney, Judge Bootl on Saturday decided some poluts as to the Dproper way to prosccute appeal sults.
