Bbookxtx, June 14. Dr. Ta Image dealtIn his sermon this morning with the verytimely topic the Battle of Creeds. Afterso long and exhaustive. a discussion inclerical circles and in the secular pressthere seemed nothing more to be said onthe subject. Dr. Talmage, however, hashis own way of looking at all subjects, andeven people who thought they knew allthat could be said on both sides receivedlight from the fresh and original contribu-tion which he made to the controversy.His text was taken from Proverbs xxvi, 17,

"He that passeth by and meddleth withstrife belonging not to him is like one thattaketh a dog by the ears."

Solomon here deplores the habit of rush-ing in between contestants; of taking partin the antagonisms of others; of joining infights which they ought to shun. They dono good to others and get damage for them-selves. He compares it to the experimentof taking a dog by the ears. Nothing soirritates the canines as to be clutched bythe lugs. Take them by the back, of theneck and lift them and it does not seem tohurt or offend; but you take the dog bythe ear, and he will take you with his teeth.In all the history of kennels no intelligentor spirited dog will stand that. "Now,''says Solomon, "you go into quarrels orcontroversies that are not yours and youwill get lacerated and torn and bitten.'He that passeth by and meddleth withstrife belonging not to him is like one thattaketh a dog by the ears.' "

THIS IS THE AGE OV CONTBOVER8T.

This is a time of resounding ecclesiastical quarrel. Never within your memory ormine has the air been so full of missiles.The Presbyterian church has on hand acontroversy so great that it finds it pru-dent to postpone its settlement for at leastone more year, hoping that something wUlturn up. Somebody might die or a newgeneral . assembly may have grace to han-dle the exciting questions. The Episcopalchurch has cast out some recalcitrants, andits digestive organs are taxed to the ut-most in trying to assimilate others. "Shallwomen preach?" "Or be sent as delegatesto conferences? are questions that havepat many of our Methodist brethren on the

anxious seat.' And the waters in someof the great baptistries are troubled wa-ters. Because of the controversies through-out Christendom the air is now like anAugust afternoon about 5 o'clock, when ithas been steaming hot all day, and cloudsare gathering, and there are lions of thun-der with grumbling voices and flashingeyes coming forth from their cloudy lairs,and people are waiting for the full burst ofthe tempest. 1 am not much of a weatherprophet, but the clouds look to me mostlylike wind clouds. It may be a big blow,bnt I hope it will soon be over. In regardto the Battle of the Creeds, I am every dayasked what I think about it. I want tomake it so plain this morning what I thinkthat no one will ever ask again.

Let those who are jurymen in the caseI mean those who in the different ecclesi-astical courts have the questions put di-

rectly before them weigh and decide. Letthe rest of us keep out The most dam-aging thing on earth is religious contro-versy. No one "r nes out of it as gooda Euui d ne goes in. Some of the ministersin all denominations who before the pres-ent acerbity were good and kind and use-ful, now seem almost swearing mad.These brethren I notice always open theirViolent meetings with prayer before de-

vouring each other, thus saying gracefore meat. They have a moral hydropho-bia that makes as think they have taken adog by the ears. They never read the imprecatory PBalms of David with such sestas since the Bnggs and Newton and Mac--

Queary and Bridgman and Brooks questions got into full swing. May the rams ofthe sheepfold soon have their horns sawedoil! Before the controversies are settledgood many ministers will, through whatthey call liberalism, be landed into prac-tical infidelity, and others through whatthey call conservatism will shrink up intobigots tight and hard as the mummiesEoypt which got through their controversies three thousand years ago.

SATAN STXBBEO IT UP.

This trouble throughout Christendomwas directly inspired by Satan. He sawthat too much good was being done. Recruits were being gathered by hundreds ofthousands to the Gospel standard. Thevictories for God and the truth were toonear together. Too many churches werebeing dedicated. Too many ministers werebeing ordained. Too many philanthropieswere being fostered. Too many soulswere being saved. It had been a dull timeIn the nether world, and the arrivals weretoo few. So Satan one day rose upon histhrone and said, "Ye powers of darkness,hearl" And all up and down the cavernsthe cry was, "Hearl Hearl" Satan said:"There is that American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. It musteither be demolished or crippled, or thefirst thing you know they will have allnations brought to God. Apollyon theYounger! Ton go up to Andover and getthe professors to discussing whether theheathen can be saved without the uospei.Divert them from the work of missionsand get them in angry convention inroom at Young's hotel, Boston, and by thetime they adjourn the cause of foreignmissions will be gloriously and magnificently injured. Diabolus the Younger)You go up and get Union TheologicalSeminary of New York and the generalassembly of the Presbyterian church atDetroit at swords' points and diverted fromthe work of making earnest ministers ofreligion, and turn that old Presbyterianchurch, which has been keeping us out ofcustomers for-- , hundreds of years, intosplendid pandemonium on a small scale.Abaddon the Third! You go up and assault that old Episcopal church, which hasbeen storming the heavens for centurieswith the sublimest prayers that were everuttered church of Bishop Leighton, Bishop White and Bishop Mcllvaine, and getthat denomination discussing men insteadof discussing the eternities, i Abaddon theFourth! You go up to that old Methodistchurch, which has, through her revivals,sent millions to heaven which we wouldotherwise have added to our population;the church of Wesley and Matthew Simpson, against which we have an especialgrudge, and get them bo absorbed in discussing whether women shall take part inher conference that they shall not have somuch time to discuss how many sons anddaughters she will take to glory."

What amazes me most is that ail peopledo not see that the entire movement at thistime all over Christendom is satanic. Manyof the infernal attacks are sly and biddenand strategic and so ingenious that theyare not easily- - discovered. But here is abold and uncovered attempt of the powei--or darkness to split up the churches, to gelministers to take each other by the throat.to make religion a laughing stock of earthana nell, to leave the .Bible with no morerespect or authenticity than an old almanacof 1823. which told what would be thechange of weather six months ahead andin what quarter of the month it is best toplant turnips. In a word, the effort is tostop the evangelization of the world. Itseems to me very much like this: Therehas been a railroad accident and many arewounded and dying. There are severaldrag stores near the scene of casualty. Allthe doctors and druggists are needed andneeded right away. Bandages, stimulants,anaesthetics, medicines of all sorts. Whatare the doctors and druggists doing? Dis-cussing the contents of some old bottles onthe top shelf, bottles of medicine whichsome doctors and druggists mixed two orthree hundred years ago. "Come doctors!''"Come druggists!" cry the people, "andhelp these wounded and dying that arebeing brought from beneath the timbers ofthe crushed rail train. In a little while itwill be too late. Come for God's sake!Come right awayl" "No," says the doctor,"not until we have settled whether themedicine on that top shelf was rightlymixed. I say there were too many dropsof laudanum in ft, and this other man saysthere were too many drops of camphire,and we must get this question settled be--jtore we can attend to the railroad accident." J

"annua.' muu irmiLT'liu" iuu"lon ei'' aue.i,1plainly marked and within easy reach areall the medicines needed for the helping ofthe sufferers by the accident, and in thatdrawer, easily opened, are bandages andsplints for the lack of which fifty peopleare dying outside the drug store. Before Iapply this thought every one sees its appli-cation. Here is this old world, and it is offtrack. Sin and sorrow have collided withit. The groan of agony is fourteen hun-dred million voiced. God has opened forrelief and cure a great sanitarium, a greathouse of mercy, and all its shelves arefilled with balsams, with catholicons, withhelp glorious help, tremendous help, helpso easily administered that yon need notget upon any Rtep ladder to reach it. Youcan reach it on your knees and then handit to all the suffering, and the sinning, andthe dying Comfort for all the troubled!Pardon for all the guilty! Peace for allthe dying! But while the world is needingthe rehef and perishing for lack of it, whatof the church? 'Why, it is full of fightingdoctors. On the top shelf are some oldbottles, which several hundred years agoCalvin or Arminius, or tbe members of thesynod of Dort, or the formers of the Nicenecreed filled with holy mixtures, and untilwe get a revision of these old bottles andfind out whether we must take a teaspoon-ful or tablespoonful, and whether beforeor after meals, let the nations. suffer andgroan and die. Save the bottles by allmeans, if you cannot save anything else.

Now, what part shall you and I take inthis controversy which fills all Christendom with clangor? My advice is, take nopart. In time of riot all mayors of citiesadvise good citizens to stay at home or intheir places of business, and in this time ofreligious riot I advise you to go about yourregular work for God. lueave the bottleson the higher shelves for others to fightabout, and take the two bottles on the shelfwithin easy reach, the two bottles whichare all this dying world needs; the onefilled With a potion which is for the cleans-ing of all sin, the other filled with a po-

tion which is for the soothing of all suffer-ing. Two gospel bottles! Christ mixedthem out of his own tears and blood. Inthem is no human admixture. Spend notime on the mysteries! You, a man onlyfive or six feet high, ought not try to wadean ocean a thousand feet deep My ownexperience has been vivid. I devoted themost of my time for years in trying to un-derstand God's eternal decrees, and I wasdetermined to find out why the Lord letsin come into the world, and I set out toexplore the doctrine of the Trinity, andwith a yardstick to measure the throne ofthe Infinite. As with all my predecessors,the attempt was a dead failure. For thelast thirty years I have not spent twominutes in studying the controvertedpoints of theology, and if I live thirtyyears longer I will not spend the thousandthpart of a second in such exploration. Iknow two things, and these I will devoteall the years of my life in proclaimin- g-God will through Jesus Christ pardon sin,and he will comfort trouble.'

KEEP OUT OF THE SQUABBLE.

Creeds have their uses, but just now thechurch is creeded to death. The youngmen entering the ministry are going to belaunched In tbe thickest fog that ever set-tled on the coasts. As I am told that in allour services students of Princeton and Union an, Drew and other theological seminaries are present, and as these words willcome to thousands of young men who aresoon to enter tbe ministry, let me say tosuch and through them to their associates.keep out of the bewildering, belittling, de-

stroying and angry controversies abroad.The questions our doctors of divinity aretrying to settle will not be settled until theday after the day of judgment. It is sucha poor economy of time to spend years andyears in trying to fathom the unxathomable, when in five minutes in heaven we willknow all we want to know. . Walt till weget our throne. Wait until the light ofeternity flashes upon our newly ascendedspirits. It is useless for ants on differentaides of a mole hill to try to discuss the compare' ive heights of Mount Blanc and MountWashington. Let me say to all young menabout to enter the ministry that soon thegreatest novelty in the world will be theunadulterated religion of Jesus Christ.Preach that and yon will have a crowd.The world is sick to regurgitation with themodern quacks in religion. The world hasbeen swinging off from the old Gospel, butit will swing back, and by the time youyoung men go into the pulpits the cry willbe coming up from all the millions of mankind, "Give us tbe bread of life; no sweetened bread, no bread with sickly raisinsstuck here and there into it, bnt old fashioned bread as God our mother mixed Itand baked itl"

You see, God knew as much when hemade the Bible as he knows now. He hasnot learned a single thing in six thousandyears. He knew at the start .that the human race would go wrong and what wouldbe the best means of its restoration and redemption. And the law which was thundered on Mount Sinai, from whose top Ihad the two tables of stone in yonder walltransported, is the perfect law. And theGospel which Christ announced while dying on that mount from which I broughtthat stone in yonder wall, and which Paulpreached on that hill from which I broughtyonder granite. Is the Gospel that is goingto save the world. Young man, pnt onthat Gospel armor! No other sword willtriumph Kke that. No other shield willprotect like thai;. No other helmet willglance off the battle axes like that. Ourtheological seminaries are doing gloriouswork, but if ever sncb theological seminaries shall cease to prepare young men forthis plain Gospel advocacy and shall become mere philosophical schools for guesslng about God and guessing about theBible and guessing about the souL theywill cease their usefnlness, and youngmen, as in olden time, when they wouldstudy for the Gospel ministry, will putthemselves under the care of some intelligent and warm hearted pastor and kneelwith him in family prayer at the parsonage, and go with him into the room of thesick and the dying, and see what victoriesthe grace of God can gain when the couchof the dying saint is the marathon.

VITAL RELIGION IS THE REMEDY.

That is the way the mighty ministers ofthe Gospel were made in olden times. Oh,for a great wave of revival to roll over ourtheological seminaries and our pulpits andour cnurcnes ana our ecclesiastical courts,and over all Christendom! That would bethe end of controversy. While snch a deluge would float the ark of God higher andhigher, It would put all the bears andtigers and reptiles of raging eccleslastidsmfifteen cubits under.

Now, what is the simple fact that you inthe pew and Sabbath school class and reformatory association and we in the pul-pits have to deal with? It is this: That Godhas somewhere,- and it matters not where,but somewhere, provided a great heaven,great for quietness for those who wantquiet; great for vast assemblage for thosewho like multitudes; great for architecturefor those who like architecture: great forbeautiful landscape for those who likebeautiful landscape; great for music forthose who like music; great for processionsfor those who like armies on white horses.and great for anything that one especiallydesires in such aVapturous domiuion; and"through the doings of one who was bornabout five miles south of Jerusalem anddied about ten minutes' walk from its eastern gate all may enter that great heavenfor the earnest and heartfelt asking. Isthat all? That is all. What, then, is yourwork and mine? Our work is to persuadepeople to face that way and start thitherward and finally go in. But has not religion something to do with this world uswell as tbe next? Oh, yes; but do you not

that if the people start for heaven ontheir way there they will dd all the goodthey can? They will at the very start ofthe journey get so much of the spirit ofChrist, which is a spirit of kindness andself sacrifice and generosity and burdenbearing and helpfulness, that every stepthey take will resound with good deeds.Oh, get your religion off of stilts! Get itdown out of the high towers! Get it on alevel with the wants and woes of our poorhuman race! Get it out of the dusty t Ideo

logical books that few people read, and putit in their hearts and lives. Good thing isit to profess religion when you join the

patchwork quilt she sent! On every blockof the quilt was a passage of Scripture or averse of a hymn. The months and years ofthe war went by. On that quilt many awounded man had lain and suffered anddied. But one morning the hospital nursesaw a patient under that blanket kissingtbe figure of a leaf in the quilt, and thenurse supposed he was only wandering Inhis mind. But no; he was the son of themother who had made the quilt and herecognized that figure of a leaf as part of agown his mother used to wear, and it re-minded him of home. "Do you know wherethis quilt came from?" he asked. The nurseanswered, "I can find out, for there was acard pinned fast to it, and I will find that."Sure enough, it confirmed what he thought.Then the nurse pointed' to a passage ofScripture in the block of the quilt, thepassage which says, "When he was yet agreat way off his father saw him and ranand fell on his neck and kissed him.""Yes," said the dying soldier, "I was agreat way off, but God has met me and hadcompassion on me." "Shall I write to yourmother and tell her that tbe lost one isfound and the dead is alive again?" Heanswered, "I wish you would, if it wouldnot be too much trouble." Do you sup-pose that woman who made that quilt andfilled it with scripture passages had anytrouble about who Melchizedek was, orhow the doctrine of God's sovereignty canbe harmonized with man's free agency, orwho wrote the Pentateuch or the inconsistencies of the Nicene creed? No, no; goto work for God and suffering humanityand all your doubts and fears and mysteriesand unbeliefs pnt together will not be heavyenough to stir the chemist s scales, whichis accustomed to weighing one-fiftie- th partof a grain of chamomile flowers. Why stopa moment to understand the mysterieswhen there are so many certitudes? Whyspend our time exploring the dark garretsand coal holes of a great palace which hasabove ground one hundred rooms floodedwith sunshine? It takes all my time toabsorb what has been revealed, so that Ihave no time to upturn and root out anddrag forth what has not been revealed.The most of the effort to solve mysteriesand explore the inexplicable and harmonizethings is an attempt to help the Lord outof theological difficulties. Good enough in-

tention, my brother, no doubt; but the Lordis not anxious to have you help him. Hewill keep bis "throne without your assist-ance. Don't be afraid that the Bible willfall apart from inconsistencies. It hungtogether many centuries before you wereborn, and your funeral sermon will bepreached from a text taken from its undis-turbed authenticity.

LAV HOLD ON GOD'S WORD.

Do you know that I think that if allministers in all denominations would stopthis nonsense of ecclesiastical strife andtake hold the word of God, the only ques-tion with each of us being how many soulswe cau bring to Christ and in how short atime, the Lord would soon appear for thesalvation of all nations? When the youngqueen of England visited Scotland manyyears ago great preparations were madefor ber reception. The vessel in which shesailed was far out at sea, bnt every hill inScotland was illumined with bonfires andtorches. The night was set on fire with artiflcinl illumination. The queen, standingou ship's deck, knew from that that Scot- -

laud was full of heartiest welcome, and tbethunder of tbe great guns at Glasgow andEdinburgh castle woke up all the echoes.Boom! they sounded out over the sea.Boom! they sounded up among the. hills.Do you know that I think that our Kingwould land if we were only ready to receivehim? Why not call to him from all ourchurches, from all our hospitals, from allour homes? Why not all at once light allthe torches of Gospel invitation? Why notring all the .bells of welcome? Why notlight up the long night of the world's sinand suffering with bonfires of victory?Why not unlimber all the Gospel batteriesand let them boom across tbe earth, andboom into the parting heavens. The Kingis ready to land if we are ready to receivehim. Why cannot we who are now livingsee his descent? Must it all be postponedto later ages? Has not our poor worldgroaned long enough in mortal agonies?Have there not been martyrs enough, andhave not the lakes of tears and the riversof blood been deep enough? Why cannotthe final glory roll in now? Why cannotthis dying century feel the incoming tidesof the oceans of heavenly mercy? Mustour eyes close in death and bur ears takeon the deafness of the tomb, and thesehearts beat their last throb before the daycomes in? O Christ! Why tarriest thou?Wilt thou not, before we go the way of allthe earth, let us see thy scarred feet undersome noonday cloud coming this way? Before we die let us behold thy hands thatwere spiked, spread out in benediction fora lost race. And why not let us, with ourmortal ears, hear, that voice which spokepeace as thou didst go up, speak pardonand emancipation and love and holinessand joy to all nations as thou comest down?

But the skies do not part. I hear norambling of chariot wheels coming downover the sapphire. There is no swoop orwings. I see no flash of angelic appearances. All is still. I hear nothing but thetramp of my own heart as I pause betweenthese utterances. The king does not landbecause the world is not ready, and thechurch is not ready. To clear the way fortbe Lord s coming let us devote all our en-ergies of body, mind and soul. A Russiangeneral riding over the battlefield, his horsetreading amid the dying and dead, a wounded soldier asked him for water, but theofficer did' not understand his languageand knew not what the poor fellow wanted.Then the soldier cried out "Christos," andthat word meant sympathy and help, andthe Russian officer dismounted and put tothe hps of the sufferer a cooling draught.Be that the charmed word with which wego forth to do our whole duty. In manylanguages it has only a little difference oftermination. Christos! It stands for sympathy. It stands for help. It stands forpardon. It stands for hope. It stands forheaven. Christos! In that name we werebaptized. In that name we took onr firstsacrament. That will be the battle shoutthat will win the whole world for God!Christos! Put it on our banners when wemarch! Put it on our lips when we die!Put it in the funeral psalm at our obsequies! Put it on the plain slab over ourgrave! Christos! Blessed be his gloriousname forever! Amen I

Great Men versiu Change of Name.I notice tbe revival of the old story of the

change young John Rowland made in hianame and fortune when be substituted hisRowland with Stanley, and dropped Johnfor Henry M., being now known to theworld as the great African explorer. Thisreminds me that several of the great menknown to science, literature, war and artwere originally known by names almostwholly unknown to the world at large.

Henry Wilson, vice president underGrant, was christened as Henry Colbath,and was known by that name until afterthe end of bis nineteenth year.

By a curious coincidence U. 8. Grant.who was president at tbe time Wilson wasvice, as above mentioned, was also a herowith a changed name. Prior to youngGrant's eighteenth birthday "U. & Grant"was a term unknown even in the embryogeneral's family. H. U. Grant" wouldsound odd if written on the pages of his-tory, but, in fact, would be perfectlyproper. The great general was christenedHiram Ulysses Grant, and by the name ofHiram or "Hi" was known to all his schoolfellows.

Hon. T. L. Harmer, an ofcongress, is responsible for "U. S." Grantbeing thrust upon the world. It cameabout in this way: When the name of theaspiring yon ng man was sent in as candi-date to West ytint, by some oversight onthe part of Mr. Harmer it was sent as "U.S." in place of "H. C." Grant "U. &Grant was appointed. When he graduatedin 1818 his commission and diploma wereboth made out to "U. S." Grant, thereforehe was forced to accept the inevitable.

Jules Grevy, so well known as the latapresident of the French republic, is neither"Jules" nor "Grevy," but Judith FancoirPaul Greviot

Frank Leslie was plain Henry Carteruntil after he was twenty-seve- n years old,adopting the new name on bis arrival
