riddle asked of me if thirty-two she shyly said id freezing point do try to tell me what — she hung her head — is squeezing point asked i she bowed assent my arm passed round that pretty little maid i think i said the answer's found it must be two in the shade 1 ' the curse of tho nation dr talmaoe in itis sermon says it is drunkenness his text it kings x 10 who slew all these — a more fearful mas sacre s now going on he says than in the old days helena m t aug 11 the rev t de witt tutelage d 1 preached iipvp to-d y to a vast congregation takins fin liis text who slew all these ii king x 10 lie preached a powerful discourse on drunkenness the nation's curse tie said i see a long row of baskets coming up toward th palace of king jeliu 1 am somewhat inquisitive to find out what an 1 in those baskets i look in and find the gory heads of seventy slain princes as the baskets arrive at the irate of the palace the heads are thrown into two heaps one on either side of the gate in the morning the kinii comes out and looks upon the | bleeding ghastly heads of the massa i cred princes looking on either side the gate he cries out with a ringing emphasis who slew all these we have my friends lived to see a | more fearful massacre there is no use ! of my taking vonr time in trying to give j von statistics iibout the devastation and j the death which strong drink hath wrought in this count ry statistics do not seem to mean anything we are i hardened under these statistics that the fact that fifty thousand morn men are slain or fifty thousand less men are slain seems to make no positive im pression on the public mind suffice it to say that intemperance has slain an innumerable company of princes the children of god's royal family and at the ga.e of every neighborhood there sire two heaps of the slain and at the j door of eveiy household there are two hpflps of the shun and at the door of ; the legislative hall there are two he«ips of the slain and at the door of the university there are two heaps of the slain and at th 1 gate of this nation th re are two heaps of the slain \\ hen 1 look upon the desolation tarn almost frantic with the scene while i cry out who slew all these i can answer that question in half a minute the ministers of god who have given no wnrninsr the courts of law that have offered the licensuie the women who l'ive strong drink on new years day the father and the mother who have rum on the sideboard the hundreds of thousands of christian men and wo men in t|ie land who are stolid in their indifference on this subject they slew all these the sorrows ant the doom of the drunkard 1 propose in this discourse to tell von what i think are the sorrows and the doom of the drunkard so that you to whom i speak may not come to the torment some one savs you had better let those subjects alone why my breth ren we would be glad to let them alone it they would let us alone but when i have in mv pocke now four requests saving pray for my husband pray for my son pray for my brother pray for tny friend who is the captive of strong drink i reply we are ready to let that question alone when it is wil ling to let us alone but when it stands blocking up the way ofheaven.and keep i ing multitudes away from christ and heaven i dare not be silent lest the lord require their blood at my hands \ think the subject has been kept [ back very much by the merriment i people make over those slain by strong drink i used to be very merry over i these things having a k en sense of the j ludicrous there was something very grotesque in the gait of a drunkard : it i not so now for i saw in one of the streets or philadelphia a sight that | changed the whole subject to me : there was a young man being led j home he was very much intox icated he was ravi.ig with intoxica tion two voting men were leading him along the boys hooted in the ■ street men laughed women sneered { but 1 happened to be very near the i door where he went in it was the i door of his father's house i saw him j i go up stairs i heard him shouting hooting and blaspheming he hid lost his hat and the merriment in creased with the mob unit he came to the door and as the door was opened 1 his mother came out when i heard her cry that took all the comedy away from the scene since that time when 1 see a man walking through the street reeling the comedy is all gone and it is a tragedy of tears and groans and heartbreaks never make any fun an und me about thegrotesqueness i of a diunkard alas for his home his good name melts away the tirst suffering of the drunkard is ihe loss iff iii good nanie god ha so arranged it that no man ever loses his good mime except by his own act all the hatred of men and nil the as saults of devils cannot destroy a man's good name it he really maintains his integrity if a man is industrious and pure and christian god looks after him although he may be bombarded for twenty or thirty years his integri ty is never lost and his good name is never sacrificed no force on earth or ■ in hell could capture such a iibralter < but when it is said of a man he | drinks and it can l»e proved then j what employer wants him for a work man what store wants him for a member who will trust him what dying man would appoint him his ex ecutor he may have been forty years in building up his reputation it goes down letters of recommenda tion the backing up of business firms a brilliant ancestry cannot save him the world shies off why it is whispered all through the community he drinks he drinks that blasts him \\ hen a man loses his reputa tion for sobriety he might as well be at the bottom of the ea then are men here who have their good name as their only capital you are now achieving your own livelihood under god by your own right arm now look out that there is no doubt of your sobriety do not create any suspi cion by going in and out of immoral places or by any odor of your b eath or by any glare of our eye or by any unnatural flush of your cheek you cannot afford to do it for your good name is your only capital and when that is blasted with the reputation of taking strong drink all is gone he respects himself xo moke another loss which the inebriate suiters is that of self-respect just ; s soon as a man wakes up and finds that ! he is the captive of strong drink he ! feels demeaned i do not care how ' reckless he acts he may say i don't care he do's care he cannot look a pure in 111 in the eve unless it is j with positive force of resolution thr e-1'ourths of his nature is destroy ed his self-respect is gone he says j things he would not otherwise say he does things he would not otherwise do ' when a man is nine-tenths gone with ! strong drink the first thing he wants to do h to persuade you that he can ! stop any tune he wants to he cannot ; i'hi i'hilist>n>'s have bound him hand and foot and shorn his locks and put jut his eyes and are making him grind in the mill of a great horror he can , not top i will prove it he knows 1 his course is bringing disgrace and ruin ; upon himself he loves himself if he could stop he would he knows his course is bringing ruin upon his family he love.s them he would ; stop if he could he cannot per haps he could three months or a year 1 ago not now lust ask him to stop for a month he cannot he knows he cannot so he does not try i had j a friend who for fifteen years was going down under this evil habit he had large means he had given thou sands of dollars to bible societies and reformatory institutions of all sorts he was very genial and very generous and very lovable and whenever he talk ed about this evil habit he would say l i can stop any time hut he kept going on going on down down down down his family would say i wish you would stop 1 why he would ' replv i can stop any time if 1 i want to after awhile he had de lirium tremens he had it twice and j yet after that he said i could stop \ any time f i wanted to he is dead now what killed him rum rum and vet among his hist utterances was i cm stop at any time he did not stop it be ause he could not oh there is •>. point in inebriation beyond j which if a m in goes he cannot stop the terrible crave for drink one of these victims said to a chris j tian man sir if i were told that i , couldn't get a drink until to-morrow j night unless i bud all my fingers cut off i would say bring the hatchet and cut them off i have a dear friend in philadelphia whose nephew came to him one day and when he was exhorted about his evil habit said | uncle i can't give it up if there stood a cannon and it was loaded and a glass of wine sat on the mouth of that cannon and i knew i hat you would fire it off just as i came up and took the glass 1 would start for i must have it oh it is a sad thing for a man to wake up in his life and feel that he is a captive he says i could have got rid of this once but 1 can't now i might have lived an honorable life and died a christian death but there is no hope for me now there is no escape for me dead but not buried i am a walking corpse i am an apparation of what i once was i am a caged immortal beating against the wires of my cage in this direction and in th.it direction beating against the cage until there i blood on the wires and blood upon my soul yet not able to net out destroyed without j remedy j i go further and say that the inebri . ate suffers from the loss of his useful ness do you not recognize the fact . that many of those who are now cap , tive of strong drink only a little while , ago were foremost in the churches and , in reformatory institutions do you j not know that sometimes the knelt in the f.rmily cirvi ? do you not know that they prayed in public and some of them carried around the holy wine on sacremeutal days oh yes thev stood in the very front rank but they gradually fell away and now what do you suppose is the feeling of such a i man as that when he thinks of his dis j honored vows and the dishonored sac raraent — when he thinks of what he might have been and of what lie is \ now do such men laugh and seem i very merry ah there is down in the depths of their soul a very heavy weight do not wonder that thev sometimes see strange things and act very roughly in the household you would not blame them at all if you knew what they suffer do not tell such as that that there is no future punishment do not hi him there is no such place as hell he knows there is he is there now thkir health goes too i go on and say tint the inebriate sutlers from the loss of physical health the older man in the congregation j may remember that some years ago dr seweil went through this country ! and electrified the people bv his lect ures in which he showed the effects j of alcohol on the human stomach he ! had seven or eight diagrams by which he showed the devastation of strong drink upon the physical system there were thousands of people that turned back from that ulcerous skeich swear ing eternal abstinence from everything that could intoxicate g<>d only knows what the d.undard suffers pain filed on every nerve and travels every niusrle and gnaws every bone and burns with everv j flame and stings with every poison and pulls at him with every torture vv lilt reptiles crawl over his creeping ! limbs what fiends stand by his mid night pillow w hiit groans tear his ear what horrors shiver through his soul talk of the rack talk of the inquistiun talk of the funeral pyre talk of the crushing juggernaut — he feels them all at once have you ever been i;i the ward of the hos pital where these inebriates re dying the stench of their wounds driving back the attendants their voices i sounding through the night the keeper com s up and says hush now be still stop making all this noise ijut it is effectual only for a moment for as soon as the keep er is gone thev begin again oh j god oh god help help rum give mo rani help take them off me take them off me take them off me oh g d and then they shriek and they rave and they pluck out their hair by haiidsful and bite their nails i to the quick and they groan and they shriek and they bias j pheme and they ask the keepers to kill them stab me smother me strangle me take the devils off me oh it is no fancy sketch that thing is on in hospitals aye it is go ing on in some of the finest residents of every neighborhood on this conti nent it went on last night while you slept and i tell you further that this is going to be the death that some of you will die i know it i see it coining hi.s home is ruined again the inebriate suffers through the loss of his home i do not care how much he loves his wife and chil dren if this passion for strong drink has mastered him he will do the most outrageous things and if he could not get drink in any other way he would sell his family into eternal bondage how many homes have been broken up in that way no one but god knows oh is there anything that will so destroy a man for life and damn him for the life that is to come 1 hate that strong drink with all the con centrated energies of my soul 1 hate it do you tell me that a man can be happy when he knows that he is break ing ins wile's heart and clothing his j children with rags why they are on the streets of our cities to-day little children barefooted uncombed and ( unkept want on every pith on their faded dress and on every wrinkle of their prematurely old countenances who woul i have been in churches to day and as well clad as vo i are but | fur the fact that rum destroyed their i parents and drove them into the grave oil rum tliou toe of god thou de spoiler of homes thou recruiting officer of the pit 1 abhor thee worst of all his sofl is lost but ray subject takes a deeper tone and that is that the inebriate is a suffer er from the loss of the soul the bible intimates that ii the future world if we are un forgiven here our bad pas sions are appetites unrestrained will go along with us and make our tor ment there so that i suppose when an inebriate wakes up in this lost world he will feel an infinite thirst clawing on him now down in the world although he may have been very poor he could beg or he could steal live cents with which to get that winch would slake his thirst for a little while but in eternity where is the rum t c-kiie from divescould not et

dives cried j for water the uehriate dies for rum oh the deep exhausting exas perating ever lasting thirst of the drunkard in hell vvhy if a fiend came up to earth for some in fern el work in a grog shop and should go back taking on its wink just one drop of that for which the inebriate in the lost world longs what excitement would it make there put that onedrop from off the fiend's wing on the tip of the tongue of the destroyed inebri ate let the liquid brightness just touch it let the drop be very small if it only j have in it the smack of alcoholic drink ; let that drop just touch the lost ine briate in the lost world and he would j spring t • his feet ai.d cry that is j rum aha that is rum and it would i wake up the echoes of the damned give me rum give me rum give me rum in the future world i do not im'live that it will \»> the absence of god that will make the drunkard's sorrow i do not believe that it will be the the absence of the holiness i think it will be the absence ol strong drink oh look not upon the wine when it is red when it mo vet h itself aright in the cup for at the last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like au adder a word to the victims hut i want in conclusion to say one thing personal for i do not like a sermon that has no personalities in it perhaps this has not had that fault already i want to say to those who are the victims of strong drink that while i declare that there was a point beyond which a man could not stop i want to tell you that while a man can not stop in his own strength the lord god by his grace can help him to stop at any time years ago i was in a room in new york where there were many men who had been reclaimed from drunkenness i heard their tes timony and for the first time in my life there flashed out a truth i nevei understood they said we wen victims of strong drink we tried to give it up but always failed but somehow since we gave our hearts to christ he has taken care of us i believe tlr.it the time will soon conn when the grace of god will show its power here not only to save man's soul but his body and reconstruct purify elevate and redeem it i verily believe that although von feel grappling a the roots of your tongues an almosi omnipotent thirst if you will thi moment givu your heart to god he wil help you by his grace to conqner try it it is your last chance 1 have looked off upon the desolation sitting under my ministry there an people in awful peril from strong drink and judging from ordin iry cir cumstances there is not one chance in five thousand that they wi 1 jjet deal of it 1 see men in this congregation of whom i must make the remark that d they do not change their course within ten year they will as to theii bodies lie down in drunkards graves and as to their souls lie down in ; drunkard's perdition i know that ii is an awful thing to say but i can no help saying it oh beware yo have not yet been captured beware as ye open the door ofyourwiue close to-day may that decanter hash on upon von beware and when oi pour the beverage into the glass in tin foam at the top in white letters lei there be spelled out to your soul beware ' when the books of judg ment are open and ten million drunk ards come up to get their doom i want you to bear witness that i to-day in the fear of god and in the love foi your soul told you with all affection and with all kiukuess to beware oi that which has already exerted its in fluence upon your family blowing on i some of its lights — a premonition oi the blackness of darkness forever oh if vou could only hear this mo ment intemperance with drunkard lioues drumming on the heal of th wine cask the i)j id march of immor tal souls rnethink the very glance of a wine cup would make you shudder and the color of the liquor would make vou think of the blood of the soul and the f min on the top of the cup would remind yo i of the froth on the man iacs lip and von would go home from this service and kneel down and pray go.l th it rather than your children should become ciptiyw of thi evil habit vou would like to carry them out some bright upring day to the cem etery and put them away to the last sleep until at the
