THUSsSAITH THE PREACHER.
DR.. Talmage Sermonizes on the Mo-
mentous Labor Question.

mentOus Labor Question
NEW YORK, May l6-Rev. DR.. Talmage
of Brooklyn Sunday morning preached
the first OF Il series of sermons on the
labor question. His text was the second
verse III the Bible and his title "Shall we
have anarchy and revolution in Ameri
ca?" In opening he said "God has said
let there be the light of law, the ight of JUS
tice, the light of peace the light of love.
No, no, say the anarchists. Let there be
darkness, let there be chaos. Such Il social
condition many are expecting because of
the overshadowing contest between labor
and capital. There has not been an intel
ligent woman or man during the last two
months but has asked the question, shall
we have Il bloody revolution in this coun-
try : | have heard many answer afiirma-
lively. ] answer it in the negative"
Talmage believed, he said, in explanation,
that the church would lay one hand on
the shoulder of capital, another on that of
labor, and command each to take hands
from the others throats. Both capital
ana labor have grievances, and capital has
had Outrages committed against It, The
whole tendency of the labor quarrel is
toward anarchy. But the storm will hush
ana Christ will put his foot on it.
Let laborers who are at work stick to il ;
let those who have left it go back, and
those who have been out of work long
time go NIL the vacancies. The working
mans first step toward light and better.
ment will be the assertion of his indiViual
independence from the dictation of fellow
