SAN FRANCISCO, May 27.-Rev. 7.
Dewitt Talmage is now in th;s city,
whence be will sail next Thursday on
the steamer "Almeda" for Honolulu, Cd
his trip around the world lie preached
today to a large and deeply interested
audience on the subject OF Heavy
Weights" the text being taken from
Psalms $3.50, Cast thy burden upon
the Lord and he shall sustain thee. "
David was here taking his own medi-
cine. II anybody had on him
heavy weights, David had them, and
yet out Of mis- own experience he advises
you and me as to the best way Of get
ting rid of burdens. This is world Of
burden bearing During the past few
days tidings came from across the sea
OF mighty aud a good man fallen. A
man full of the Holy Ghost was ne, his
name the synonym Of all that is good,
aud kind, and gracious, and benefcent.
Word comes to Us Of 4 ScOurge, sweep
ing of hundreds and thousands or peO-
pie, and there Is a burden OF sorrow.
Sorrow on the sea aud sorrow on the
land. Coming into the house OF prayer
there may Do no sign Of sadness or
sorrow, but where is the man who has
not conflict? Where is the soul that
has not a struggle? And there is not a
day Of all the year when my text Is not
gloriously appropriate, aud there is
never an audience assembled on the
planet where the text is not glOriOuSly
appropriate: Cast thy burden upon
the Lord and be shall sustain thee"
in the Straits OF Magellan, l have
been told, there is = place where which
ever way a ship captain puts his ship he
finds the wind against him, and there
are men who all their lives have been
running
IN TIE TEETH OF THE WIND,
and which way 10 turn they co not
know. Some of them may be in this
assemblage, and address them face TO
face, bot profunctorily, but as one
brother talks 20 another brother: Cast
thy burden upon the Lord and be shall
sustain thee"
There are a great many men who
have business burdens. When we see a
man hurried and psrD!exed aud an
moved In business life, we are apt 10
say; ale ought not TO have attempted
90 carry so much" All. that man may
not De 10 blame at all. When a man
plants a business he does not know
what will be its OutgrOwthS, what will
h,N ha hrn
There is many a mau with keen fore
sight and large business faculty who
has been flung into the dust by ur'c:- I
seen circumstances springiuS UPON him |
from ambush. When to luy, when TO |
sell, when to trust and 4 what amount |
credit, what will be the effect Of this |
invention Of machinery, what will |
he effect Of that loss Of crop, and a !
Usand other questions perpiex bust |
men until the hair is silvered and |
--iukieS are ploughed in the |
cheek; and the stocks 90 up by noun |
tains and go down by valleys, and they |
are at their wits ends, and stagger like |
drunken men.
There never has been a time when /
there have been such rivalries in bust |
ness as now. IL is hardware against j
hardware, books against books, chan |
dlery against chandlery, imported ar /
ticle against imported article. A thou |
sand stores in combat with another /
thousand stores. Never such advan- /
tags OF light, never such variety OF as !
sortment, never 90 much splendor of /
how window, never so much adrOit- |
ness OF statesmen, never so much acute |
a.
seventies Of rivalry in business, |
how many men break down. On, the /
burden OF the shoulder! Oh, the bur- |
den of the heart!
You hear that il is avarice which /
drives these men OF business through I
the street, and that is the commonly &C. /
cepted idea. l do not not believe a /
word Of II. The vast multitude OF these |
business men are
TOILING on FOR OTHERS.
To educate their children, to put
wing Of protection over their house
holds, to have something left, so when
they pass out of this life their wives
and children will not have TO go 10 the
poorhonss-that is the way translate
this energy 10 the street and store-the
vast majority Of that energy.
Ahi my friend, do you say that God
does not care anything about your
worldly business? / tell YOU God knows
more aboutit than yOu do. lie knows
all your perplexities; be knows what
mortgage 10 about 10 fOreclOSe; he
knows what note you cannot pay; be
knows what unsaleable goods you have
on your shelves; be knows all your
trials, from the day you took hold OF
the first yard-Stick down to that sale Of
the last yard OF ribbon, and the God
who helped David TO be king, and who
helped Daniel 20 be prime minister, and
who helped Havelock TO be a soldier,
will help you 20 discharge all your
duties. He Is gOing to see you through.
When loss comes, and you fnd your
property going, just take this Book and
put IL down by your ledger, and read Of
the eternal possessions that will come
10 you through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Aud when your business partRer be-
trays you, and your friends turn against
YOU, Just take the insulting letter, put
IL down on the table, put your Bible be-
side the insulting letter, and then read
of the friendship Of him who 'sticketh
closer than a brother"
A Young accountant In New York
City got his accounts entangled. He

not make his accounts come out right,
and he toiled at them day and night I'M

by those books that something bad been
