Dr. Talmage Tells of the Heritage
of God's Children.

[Copyright, 1900, by Louis Klopich.]
Washington, Aug. 116.
In this discourse Dr. Talmage, who,
during- his journey homeward, has
Been much of royal and imperial
splendors in passing through the cap-
itals of Kurope, shows that there is no
higher dignity nor more illustrious
station than those which the Chris-
tian has as u child of God; text,
Judges 8:18: "Each one resembled
the children of a king.'*
Zebah and Zalmunua had been ofT to
"battle, and when they came buck they
were asked what kind of people they
liad seen. They answered that the peo-
ple had a royal resemblance. "Each
one resembled the children of a king."
That description of people is not ex-
tinct. There are still many who have
this appearance. Indeed, they are the
sons and daughters of the Lord Al-
mighty. Though now in exile, they
shall yet come to their thrones.
There are family names that stand for
wealth or patriotism or intelligence.
The name of Washington among us
will always represent patriotism. The
family of the Medici stood as the rep-
resentative of letters. The family of
the liothschilds is significant of
wealth, the loss of $40,000,000 in 184$
putting tin in to no inconvenience, and
within a few years they have loaned
Russia $12,000^,000, Atopies *25,000,000,
Austria $40.<M)0.000 and England $200,-
000,000. and the stroke of their pen 011
the counting-room desk shakes every-
thing from the Irish sea to the Dan-
ube. They open their hand and there
is war; they shut it and there is
peace. The Romanoffs of Russia, the
Hoheu/.ollerns of Germany, the Bour-
bons of France, the Stuarts and
Guelphs of Great Dritain, are houses
whose names are intertwined with the
history of their respective nations
symbolic of imperial authority
But I preach of a family more po-
tential. more rich and more extensive
the royal house of Jesus, of whom
the whole family in Ileaven and 011
earth is named. We are blood rela-
tions by the relationship of the cross;
all of us are children of the King.
First. I speak of our family name.
When we see a descendant of some
one greatiy celebrated in tlie last cen-
tury, we iook at him with profound
interest. To have had conquerors,
kings or princes in the ancestral line
gives luster to the family name. In
our line was a King and a Conqueror.
The Star of the East with baton of
light woke up the eternal orchestra
that made music at His birth. Kroni
thence lie started forth to conquer all
nalions, not by trampling them down,
but by lifting them up. SL John saw
Him 011 a white horse. Wnen He re-
1 urns, 11c will not bring the nations
chained to His wheel or in iron cages,
but 1 hear the strike of the hoofs of
the snow white cavalcade that brings
them to the gates in triumph.
Our family name takes luster from
the star that heralded Him and the
spear that pierced Him a.id the crown
that was given llim. It gathers fra-
grance from the frankincense brought
to His cradl
their sweetness into
ternal relations of lite, we stand so swung on the gate. You ran-;
close together that when trouble sets | barn. You waded into tin- bn
its battery all feel the thrill of dis-
tress. In the great Christian fainih
the sorrow of one ought to be the sor-
row of all. Is one persecuted? All
are persecuted. Does one suffer loss?
We all suffer loss. Is one bereaved?
We are all bereaved.
Their streaming eyes together flow
For human guilt ami mortal wo*
If you rejoice at another's misfor-
tune you are not one of the sheep, but
one of the gouts, and the vulture of
sin hath alighted 011 your soul and not
the Dove of the Spirit.
Next, I notice the family property.
After a man of large estate dies, the hunted the groux-
relatives assemble to hear the will ing places of tluli

This world and the next. In distin-
guished families there are old pictures
hanging 011 the wall. They are called
the "heirlooms" of the estate. They
are very old, and have come down
from generation to generation. So 1
look upon ail the beauties of the

hill above hill, mountain above moun-
tain, until sky lost. The forests are
full of chirp and buzz and song. Tree's
leaf and bird's wing flutter with glad-
ness. Honey makers in the log and
beak against the bark, and squirrels
chattering on the rail, and the call of
the hawk out of a clear sky make you
feel glad. The sun, which kindles
conflagrations among the castles of
cloud and sets minaret and dome
aflame, stoops to paint the lily white
and the buttercup yellow and the for-
get-me-not blue. What can resist the
sun? Light for the voyager over the
deep! Light for the shepherd guard-
ing the flocks afield! Light for the
poor who have 110 lamps to burn! j
Light for the downcast and lowly!
Light for aching eyes ami burning
brain and wasted captive! Light for
the smooth brow of childhood and for
the dim vision of the octogenarian!
Light for queen's coronet and for sew-
ing girl's needle! Let there be light!
Whose morning is this? My morning.
Your morning. Our Father gave us
the picture and hung it 011 the sky
in loops of tire. It is the heirloom of
our family. And so is the night. It is
the full moon. The mists from shore
to shore gleam like shattered mirrors,
and the ocean, under her glance,
comes up with great tides, panting
upon the beach, mingling, as it were,
foam and fire. The poor man blesses
Clod for throwing such a cheap light
through the broken * indow pane into
his cabin, and to the sick it seems a
light from the other shore which
bounds this great deep of human pain
and woe. If the sun seein like a song
full and poured from brazen instru-
ments that fill Heaven and earth with
great harmonies, the moon is plain-
tive and mild, standing beneath the
throne of God. sending up her soft,
sweet voice of praise. Avhile the stars
listen and the sea. No mother ever
more sweetly guarded the sick cradle
than all night long this pale watcher
of the sky bends over the weary, heart
siek, slumbering earth. Whose is this
black framed, black tasseled picture
of the night? It is the heirloom of

matters not much to me whether I am
rich or poor, or whether the world
hates me or loves me, or whether I go
by land or by sea, if only I may lift my
eyes at last on the family mansion. It
is not a frail house, built in a month,
soon to crumble, but an old mansion,
which is as linn as the day it was built.
Its walls arc covered with the ivy of
many ages, and the urns at the gateway
art' abloom with the century plants
of eternity. The queen of Sheba hath
walked its halls, and Esther and Marie
\11toi11ette and l.ndv Huntingdon and
Cecil and Jeremy Taylor and Samuel
Hutherford and John Milton and the
widow who gave tw o mites and the poor
men from the hospital these last two

queens of eternity.
A family mansion means reunion.
Some of your families are very much
scattered. The children married aud
went off to St. Louis or Chicago or
Charleston. But perhaps once a year
you come together at the old place.
How you wake up the old piano that
has been silent for years. Father and
mother do not play on it. How you
bring out the old relic and rummage
the garret and open old scrapbooks and
shout and laugh and cry and talk over
old times, and though you may be 45
years of age, act as though you were
1C. Yet soon it is good-by at the car
window and good-by at the steamboat
wharf. But how will we act at the re-
union in the old family mansion of
Ileaven? It is a good w hile since you
parted at the door of the grave. There
will be Grace and Mary and Martha
and Charlie and Lizzie and all the dar-
lings of your household, not pale and
sick and gasping for breath, as when
you saw them last, but their eyes
bright with the luster of Heaven and
their cheeks roseate with the flush of
celestial summer.
What clasping of hands! What em-
bracings! What coming together of
lip to lip! What tears of joy! You
say: "I thought there were 110 tears
in Heaven." There must be. for the

them a fat harvest of yellow lumps and
a fund of stories unparalleled for the
magnificence of their mendacity. Pros-
pectors from Dawson and other Klon-
dike mining camps, carried away by
the superlativeness of the tales they
had heard, forsook well-paying claims
and undertook dangerous winter jour-
neys to reach the new Eldorado in time

On the first day of June Nome City

it was a booming, bustling town of
25,000, with a municipal government,
churches and newspapers. Buildings of
some size, rough lumber shanties and
tents, irregularly located along the
beach, without regard for comfort or
sanitary conditions, the entire popu-
lation confined to two streets, that is

ceive $1 per hour; mechanics, $1.50 an

administration is unable to obtain suf-
ficient help to remove the garbage and
filth of the monster camp, and disease
is consequently claiming scores of vic-
tims every day. The government offi-
cials are as helpless as the mayor and
can do nothing toward bringing order
out of chaos. The apathy of the peo-

Tij K various committees in
charge of the preparations for
the annual encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic, which
will be held in Chicago during the
last week of August, have completed
their preliminary work, and are now
awaiting the arrival of their honored
guest
both in number of visitors and in the
arrangements for their comfort the
p j Chicago meeting will surpass every-
thing in the history of the order.
The committee on decorations has
worked especially hard, and the result
of its labors has been highly commend-
ed by the artist- of Chicago. Aside
from the appropriate decoration of
the down-town streets, the commit-
tee's scheme includes the construction
of two large arcnes and a colonnade.

Next, I speak of the family sor-
rows. If trouble come to one member
of the family, all feel it. It is the cus-
tom, after the body is lowered into
the grave, for all the relatives to come
to the verge of the grave ami look
down into it. First those nearest the
departed come, then those next of
kin, until they have all looked into the
grave. So, when trouole and grief go
down'through the heart of one mem-
ber of the family, they go down
through them all. The sadness of one
is the sadness of all. A company of
persons join hands around an eledtric
battery; the two persons at the ends
•of the'line touch the battery, and all
the circle feels the shock. Thus, by
close, the loved ones that never part,
the procession that never halts, the
trees that never wither, the walls that
never can be captured, the sun that
never sets, until we can no longer gaze,
and we hide our eyes and exclaim: "Eye
hath not seen nor ear heard, neither
have entered into the heart of man the
things which Clod hath prepared for
them that love Him!" As these tides
of glory rise we have to retreat and
hold fast lest we be swept off and
drowned in the emotions of gladness
and thanksgiving and triumph.
What think you of the family prop-
erty? It is considered an honor to
marry into a family where there is
great wealth. TheLord.the Bridegroom
of earth and Heaven, offers you His
heart and His hand, saying in the
words of the Canticles: "Rise up, my
love, my fair one. and come away."
And once having put on thy hand the
signet ring of His love, you will be en-
dowed with all the wealth of earth and
all the honors of Ileaven.
Almost every family looks back to
a homestead—some country place
where you grew up. You sat on the
doorsill. You heard the footsteps of
Bible says that "t«od shall wipe them veterans will participate in this
away," and if there were no tears there j yoar-s grand parade, and hoped that
how could He wipe them away? They 1 ...
cannot be tears of grief or tears
of disappointment, they must be
tears of gladness. Christ will come
and say: "What, child of Heaven, I
is it too much for thee? Post |
thou break down under the gladness of
this reunion? Then I will help thee."
And with His one arm around us rtnd
the other arm around our loved ones
He shall hold us up in the eternal jubi-
lee.
While I speak some of you with
broken hearts can hardly hold your
peace. You feel as if you w ould speak
out and say: "Oh,blessed day, speed on!
Toward thee I press with blistered
feet over the desert way. My eyes fail
for their weeping. I faint from lis-
tening for feet that will not come and
the sound of voices that will not speak.
Speed on. oh day of reunion! And then.
Lord .lesus, be not angry with me if
after I have kissed thy blessed feet
I turn around to gather up the long
lost treasures of my heart. Oh, be
not angry with me. One look at thee

overtopping Heaven, Ileaven comming-

I was at Mount Vernon and went
into the dining-room in which our first
president entertained the prominent
men of this and other lands. It was
a very interesting spot. But. oh, the
banquet hall of the family mansion of
which 1 speak! Spread the table, spread
it wide, for a great multitude are to
sit at it. From the tree by the river
gather the 12 manner of fruits for
that table. Take the clusters from
the heavenly vineyards and press them
into the golden tankards for that ta-
ble. On baskets carry in the bread
of which if man eat he shall never hun-
ger. Take all the shot-torn flags of
earthly conquest and intwine them
among the arches. Let David come
with his harp and Gabriel with his
trumpet and Miriam with the timbre!,
for the prodigals are at home, and
the captives are free, and the Father
hath invited the mighty of Heaven and
the redeemed of earth to come and
dine!
