WARRINGTON, Nov. 27.-This sarmon Of
DR.. Talmage Is an anticipation Of things
near at hand and urges preparation for
stirring events; text, Chronicles xii,
50, "The children Of Issachar, which were
men that had understanding Of the times,
TO know what Israel ought to do"
Great tribe, that tribe of Issaohar. When
Joab took the census, tb0re were 146, 900
Of them. Before the almanac was born,
through astrological study, they knew
from stellar conjunctions all about the
seasons Of the year. Before agriculture be-
came an art they were skilled in the rails.
ing Of crops Before politics became SOL
enoe they knew the temper Of nations, and
whenever they marched, either for pleas
ure or war, they marched under three
colored aag-topaZ, sartline and oarbun-
ole. But tho chief characteristic Of that
tribe Of Issachar was that they understood
the times. They were not like the politi-
cal and moral incompetsnts Of our day,
who are trying to guide 1908 by the theo-
rles Of 1898. They looked at the divine in
dioations in their own particular century.
30 We ought to understand the times, not
tho times when America was ID colonies
huddled together along the Atlantic coast,
but the times when the nation dips ono
hand IN the ocean on one side the continent
ard the other hand In the ocean on the
other side che continent; times which put
New York Narrows and the Golden Horn
telegraphy; times when God Ia a. directly,
a. positively, as solemnly, as tremendous
ly addressing US through the daily news
paper and the quick revolution OF events
as he ever addressed the anoisnts or ad-
dresses us through the Holy Scriptures.
The voice of God in Providence Is as i'm
portant as the voice of God In typology,
for in our own day we have had our Sinais
with thunders Of the Almighty, and CAL
varies of sacrifice, and Gsthsemanes that
sweat great tlrops of blood, and Oliyets Of
ascension, and Mount PisRahs of farreaoh-
iI11 vision, The Lord who rounded this
world 5000 wears ago and sent his Son to
redeem IL near l, 900 years ago has yet
much to do with this radiant but agonized
planet. NAV God make us like the chill
dren Of Issachar, (which were men that
had understanding Of the times, to know
what Israel ought to do"
