DR.. TALMAeE's ABLE SERMON y
THE BROOKLYN TABERNACLE.

The Eloquent Divine Preached from the
Text, Mark TX, s5, ''Thou Dumb and
Deaf Spirit, I Charge Thee, Come Out
- Him."-The Spirit stn Abroad.
BRooKLYN, May BIN his sermon to.
day Rev. Dr. Talmage illustrated, in po-
tent and convincing language, the duty
incumbent upon Christians of embracing
every opportunity that offers in this life to
do good and to advance the cause Of the
kingdom Of Christ by bold acknowledge
ment Of their principles before men. The
text selected was Mark tx, %, Thou dumb
and deaf spirit. charge thee, come out Of
him."
Here was a case Of great domestic an
guish. The son Of the household was pos
sessed Of an evil spirit which, among other
things, paralyzed his tongue and made
him specifies. When the influence was
on the patient, he could not say a word
articulation was impossible. The spirit
that captured this member of the house
hold was a dumb spirit-so called by
Christ-a spirit abroad today and as lively
and potent as in New Testament times.
Yet in all the realms Of sermonology, /
cannot find a discourse concerning this
dumb devil which Christ charged upon
my text, saying, Come out of him."
There has been much destructive super
stition abroad in the world concerning pos
session by evil spirits. Under the form of
belief in witchcraft this delusion swept the
continents. Persons were supposed to be
possessed with some evil spirit which
made them able to destroy others. In the
Sixteenth century, in Geneva, 1, 500 persons
were burned to death as witches Under
one judge in Lorraine 900 persons were
burned to death as witches. In one neigh
horhood Of France 1000 persons were
burned. In two centuries 200,O 600 persons
were slain as witches
So mighty was the delusion that it in
cluded among its victims some of the
greatest intellects Of all time, such as Chief
Justice Matthew Hale and Sir Edward
Coke, and such renowned ministers of re-
ligion as Cotton Mather, one of whose /
books Benjamin Franklin said shaped his /
life, and Richard Baxter and Archbishop 1
Cranmer and Martin Luther, and among /
writer's and philosophers, Lord Bacon. /
That belief. which has become the laugh /
ing stock Of all sensible people, counted its
disciples among the wisest and best people
Of Sweden, Germany, England, France,
Spain and New England. But while we
reject witchcraft, any man who believes
he Bible must believe that there are dia-
lOlical agencies abroad in the world.
While there are ministering spirits to bless,
here are internal spirits to hinder, to poi
on and to destroy. Christ was speaking
o a spiritual existence, when standing be-
ore the afflicted one of the text, he said,
Thou dumb and deaf spirit, come out of

and last night forty-eight were dead
when they were brought from the
pit. In addition 20 these eighty
five are SD badly hurt that it is supposed that
az least twenty will die. Inese are lying
swarthed from head 20 foot in uandages. and
are so badly injured that they can't tell tho
story of the accident. Work IN al me nlne
in the vicinity has been stopped ana al the
miners in the other shafts having congregated
to render all the assistance in their power to
those who are trying 10 get tho dead men from
the mine The miners m the shaft were an
white. being of all natlonalltles, but mostly
Italians
AZ one of the mines in the vicinity negroes
were worked and between these and the
white miners there has been constant feel
ing OF antag0nism This feeling came near
prec.pitatng not this morning when tho
negroes camo 20 the scene of the acci-
dent and offered their assistance.
