J.IYIIDDr tmpuaii lanun In a Vivid IT my the Effect of Wrontlktlng I'pon the Mind?Self-Indulgence Rnlns Men. Sell-Denial Make* Tbetn. New York City.?The Rev. Dr. J. Wilbur Chapman, the most popular of our puJpit orators, has never preached a more dramatic and powerful sermon than the following one. entitled "Insane From Sin." It in founded on the text. "In the tomb*, erring and cutting himself with stones.*' ?Mark 5: 5. You a.-e doubtless familiar with this New Testament chapter in which our Lord is represented a* having power over devils, disease and death. Over devils when He cast out the evil spirits from the man in the tombs, finding enough in him to fill i herd of swine, and enough swine I ?n fill the noa. as an old nreacher tised to j ?ay: over di*ea?e when He healed the ; woman who had faith enough to touch His garment's hem, and power over death when He stand3 at the home of Jairus and commands hia little daughter to awake and restores hsr to her weeping parent*. It is a comfortinz chapter in the light of the fact that He in the same yesterday, today and forever. In speaking of "the sinfulness of sin" I desire to present it at thin time in its effect upon the mind. Insanity has been described as a chronic disease of the brain inducing chronic disorder of the mental condition, yet theie is a sense in which the fevered patient in his delirium and the drunkara in his excitement or stupor is insane. There are two kinds of insanity, first, congenital, or that which is inherited where brain develonment is arrested. Second. acquired, or that in which the brain is born healthy, but has suffered from morbid processes affecting it primarily, diseased states of the general system implicating it secondarily. In our treatment of this theme I have to do with both of these, for in the firat we see how the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children onto the third and fourth generations, while in the second we behold an exhibition of that insanity of sin which is due to individual exce?*e? or the breaking of God's laws. The Bible is full of illustrations. It is not necessary that I should go to an inntitution to find men who are insane. I turn to the pages of this old book and read the story of Nebuchadnezzar, the king. Now you sec him on his hands and knee* eating grass, ar.d his nail* are like birds' claws and his hair like eagle#' feathers. Yet as we read we find he lifted his eyes to heaven and God set him free. There is not less for a man in this City of New York?no matter what his bondage? if he will but lift his eyes up he may be fre<?. Then we turn to I. Samuel, second chapter, and we see the mr.n who wrote the Twenty-third Psalm. David playing the fool before the man of whom be was afraid, crouching upon the sides of the door pouts and becoming disgusting. In the tenth chapter of Exodu* ice read the story of the man who was the king? whose face I had the privilege of seeing as a mummy in Egypt?the man who said. '"I will let the people go now if you will take away the (warm of flies?if you will take away the frogs." And the frogs were taken away, and the flies, and be did not let them go. for God hardened his heart?an insane man, but not more insane than the man who has promised ever since he was a child that he would be a Christian and give up sin, and is still its lave. Turn to the New Testament, and here we find the picture of the prodigal. When he rnme to himself?when he was not himself he was satisfied with swine, so long as he had forgotten his father and his mother, whom tradition says he killed, he was ratified, but when be came to himoelf he was not. Ah, the young man, with the memory of a sweet mother Kick in Ohio, who has stepped into the evil of sin in New York and turned his face away from Christ, he is inrane. It is the hope of the minister and the prayer of at least one hundred people in this church that during this series of meetings some of these young men may come to themselves, and then come to Christ. I. I have been going through the institutions. where I nave had the privilege of looking upon the insane people confined there, and 1 have found out the following: First, many people are insane because of the ains of their parents. Results of crime on future generations. At the recent meeting of the Congress of Criminal Anthropology at Geneva, Switzerland, Dr. Legrain. physicianmchief of the asylum of Ville-Evrard, gave the results of his investigation, which extended over a period of years and showed how sin, like disease, is transmitted from drunken father to appetite enslaved son: how in such soil the seeds of crime and madness develop and ripen in the last generation into sterile idiocy and the extinction of the race. First Generation. He traced the course of four generations of drinkers in 215 families. One hundred and sixty-eight families showed unmistakable symptoms of degeneracy; sixty-three eases of mild insanity; eighty-eight were mentally unsound; forty-five at times dangerously insane; many of the children were weaklings and died at an early age, six out of eight in one case, ten out of sixteen in another. These six latter who remained were all feeble minded and had epileptic fit* and a prey to evil instincts. Thirty-nine families found convulsions; epilepsy in fifty-two; hysteria in sixteen; meningitis in five; 108 families out of the 215 counted one out of every two individIt J) la Virtimt nf n*PiArli/?a 1 hIaaKaIip <lo!i. riurn; 106 families of the 215 insanity bad developed. Second Generation. Ninety-eight observations gave the following: Fifty-four families bad one or more members who were imbeciles or idiots; twenty-three families there were those who were morally irresponsible, untimely births, extraordinary mortality and hprrditary diseases caused the children to die in appalling numbers. At this stage fathers .ina mothers had become common drunkards with but eight exceptions. In forty-two families h? found chronic cases of convulsions, and epilepsy in forty. In twenty-three families insanity exists. Third Generation. Seven observations, or families, gave him a total of seventeen children; all were mentally unsound and physically tunted; two were insane, four subject to convulsions, two epilepsy, two hysteria, one meningitis, three scrofula. Summing up the 814 cases found in the 215 families he found 32.2 per cent, were alcoholics, G0.9 per cent, are degenerates. 13.9 per cent, morally irresponsible, 22.7 per cent, have convulsions, nineteen per cent, are incurably insane; 174 disappeared from this world before or almost before hivinir drawn their first breath: nine tv-thive case* of tuberculatum, which brine the total of those who died from hereditary alcoholism up to one-third. Tbe-e is do fifth generation, for the last line is a microcephalous idiot. Thus Mo*es waa right, as proven by science, when he said, "God visits the iniquities of the parents unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Him." Then is no fifth. Sin is an awful thing. If I could uncover it so that some of vou could tee it you would shrink back from it ns you would brink from a man who is a leper. There are very many people who are insane from over work. It is the tendency of the times. Permit me to read to you an editorial given in one of our recent paper:: "Never was there such a craze for speculation as our age presents. Young and old more or lea* feel its force. Slow gains are discounted. Mock gamojmg is patronlied and recognized to an alarming extent. The speculating spirit is rife in all direction* and in all ways. Those who cannot rent an office in Wall Street patronize the bucket shop and curbstone brokers. The trick* of trade are mastered, and fortune hunting is pursued with avidity. Risks are incurred and principle sacrificed in the haste to become rich. Great syndicates are formed day by day and their luring baits tempt many people. Little savings are insured ample profits. Trade ia becoming largely speculative. Old-fashioaed buauieaa metfepdj tad idc*Ji vt paining away, and much i? being Mcriflced to more rapid modes of enrichment. Some succeed, but the larger number fall in their venture*. Fortunes are lost aa well as won. Money change* hand*, and thou| Minis suffer where hundreds gain. Wrecks of characters lie all along the pathway of speculation. In all ranks and grades of socii'tv are found the victims of wild, reckless gambling. Greed of wealth ia becoming too much an American vice. Its allurements are proving too strong for our bright, energetic and ambitious younfl men. and there is a call for a steadier, wisei and tafar spirit in business affairs." Second, there are manv people insane today because of self-indulgence, the lack of self-restraint. Self-indulgcnce ruins men, self-denial makes them; self-indulgence sells a man's birthright for a mess of pottage, and he tries to get it again only to find that it is impossible; self-denial makes one to be possessed of increasing strength; self-indulgence led Bel*hazzar on until we find him in the centre of the feast where the lingers of a man's band write upon the wall, "Weighted in the balance* and found wanting." and the tame thing is true to-day. it is the lack of self-restraint that has made many a man to lose his soul. Dr. Talmage tells of the man whom he saw on the shores of a lake in Scotland creeping out from under the hull of an old wrecked vessel and lifting up hi<? hands tremblingly said. "Please, sir. will you give me a penny?" "For what?" said the minister. The answer was. "For strong drink." Dr. Talmage said to him. "I am a minister and I cannot (rive you the money for that, but I will help vou. What is your name?" and he ? -J kie f?Ao in hie hnnHi IW1IU tut- Ulan uuucu HIP ? !.?. .M ?? , hook with emotion, and then finally said, "My name in"?and he nobbed it oat. "Why," Raid Dr. Talmage, "I knew a man by that name in Edinburgh, a prominent merchint; did you know him?" "God pity me, sir." said he, "I am that man: nin ?lew me. and I am here; my wife is dead, my children are in tbe poor house and I am on my way to hell." What ft warning for every man who gives way in the least to sin. There are many men in the insane institutions to-day because of self-indulgeuce and lack of self-restraint. Who was it that said, "Better is he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city?" Why, if a man could only take a city what a hero he would be! The word of God savi that every man may be greater than be that taketh a city if he will rule his own spirit. Self-indulgence ruins, self-denial makes men. Self-indulgence sells a man's birthright for less than a mess of pottage. Be not deceived. God ia not mocked, whatsoever a man sows that shall he reap. I came across one young man in the insane asylum who came from one of the first families in the country. There it not a man better born than he. He had everything that money could buy. Not onlv was he lacking in self-restraint himself, UUl ms j'rujile wcic invniii^ iu traint. If the boy desired to go to school he was at liberty to go; if he preferred not to go to school he could stay at home. After a while there came a defect in the brain: after a little while it was insanity, so that now he is in an insane asylum. I heard him say, "Will you permit me to go to father and mother?" "Certainly, certainly," the keeper said. "He will never go. He will never be ready to go. He rises in the morning, then he fall* back on his cot; he begins to dress and then steps; he will just about be ready to-night: to-morrow morning he will have the delusion again. He never quite gets up to his desire.* That is his mania." There is many a boy, possibly in our church, whose home atmosphere is like that, and it is a most dangerous one. I do not know that the fathers were strict enough. I do not think ray fatbtr was too strict. In my boyhood's home life was the forming of my character. I should like to hold ud to everv bov and everv young man the highest ideals of manhood, and I ask you to take Christ. Third, there are very many people mentally unbalanced to-day because of some hallucination. A poor woman cried out as I passed alone through the wards of the institution. "Doctor. I am burning up; if I could only have a breath of fresh air I would feel perfectly well again." A man who used to be a. leader of society was actually burrowing in the ground like an animal, all the dignity of his manhood gone, and the woman who was once the pride of her home a mental wreck, and when I said to the doctor, "What is it that causes this!" his answer was, "It is sin in very many cases." I know very well that there are many who are insane because of inherited tendency and some because of over work, their poor overstrained nerves have given way, but I have seen a countless number m these latter days insane because of sin, and it is against this that I cry out. n. There is a kind of insanity in the position which men occupy with regard to being Christians. First, let us suppose a case of sickness where the patient gradually grows worse, the temperature is high, the pulse is rapid, the heart is entirely wrong, the skin is dried and parched, the ease is critical, a cure roust come quickly or not at all, and you go to the afnicted one and propose a cure because your disease was the same and you have been cured. Suppose the patient should remark, "I do not feel that this remedy will cure me, after a while I will try it." Possibly that is a specie of insanity, but suppose he declares that he will wait until he grows better and the disease has practically left him; in this, too. he is insane. But suppose he tells you that he cannot understand how the remedy would cure him. and that until he can comprehend it he will not accept it. Could anything be more insane than such a position? Or suppose he should say, ") would take it. but I know one who tried it and failed." I ask you, is not this a speries of insanity? Second, what would you say concerning the position of such a sick man? I know what you would say. You would look at him and say, "Poor man; he is insane; feelings have nothing to do with the matter; vou cannot grow better without a remedy. The doctor understands the case and you do not need to understand it." This is what you would say. but I know thousands of people who are away from Diriit and ctavirtv awav from Him for these very reason#" Some years ago a young man threw himself into the river from a steamboat, and at once the cry of "Man overboard!" startled all the passenger*. They threw back the se&rchlizht in the darkness of the night and could see that he was sinking, but suddenly some one threw him a rope, and a chcer went up because he had caught hold of it. He drew the rope toward him until at last they saw him lift himself out cf the water and then throw it as far as he could and go down beneath the waves. He was an insane man. having escaped from his keepers, but the man who rejects Christ, it would seem to me, is more insane, for he has turned away from the only cure tor sin and rejected the only hope of heaven. in. There is a beginning to all of this. Have you beard the old faDie of the ring, valuable because of its sold, to be sure, but that was not ail? Whenever its wearer stepped wrong the ring pressed his finger ana he would step right again. It was a fable of something that is true. That ring ib CUDSCitTHlT. a urn; u? iiiuiij a man iu my audience whose consciousness of fin five y?r*ni ago kept Ibim from evil. Macbeth, one of Shakespeare's characters, having committed murder says: "Will all great Neptune'* ocean make thene hands clean?" And, lifting them up, cries: "These hands wiil make the very sea red.'' I speak to tome young men in this church whose conscience i? still working. You can put your hands over vour eves and there is before you the face of a sweet mother, who said to you: "My boy. it is a very wicked world. I am afraid for you without a mother's presence." You hive a memory oHhat motner. Your conscience la savins, "l ou had better give up that tin." God keep you from it. There are special tins which I should like to suggest this evening in closing. 1 need not sneak of the sin of drunkenness. You have Heard of it this evening. John B. Gough used to say, "God foncive me, I do not apeak it boastingly. Five years of my life were a dark blot. I know what the burning appetite for stimulant** is. 1 have felt its woes and I have seen it in many men who have died the drunkard's deatn but as God is my witness, 1 sav. take away from me the friends of my old i- * .. i'~ rt t " * i,>r ? "hi i nS j \ ace. let the hut of poverty he my dwelling . pface, let me walk in the storm and live in the whirlwind, when I do good let evil | come upon me. and the shouts of my ene mien ai the sound of many water*, do all this. 0 merciful God, but snare me from the death of a drunkard." I beseech you, if conscience appeals to you now that you vield at once to its teachings. Charles the N?nth after the ma?sacre of St Bartholomew said to the doctor, "I am fevered in body and mind; oh. if I had only spared the innocent, the preachers and the children." Rousseau declared in old age that the sins committed in his youth gave hira sleepless nights. Richard the Third having ?lain his two nenhews in the tower would sometimes in the night spring from his cor.ch and touch his sword as if to fight the demons coming up against him. All thin was conscience. In the na?e of (>od do not stifle its voice and rej>.*ct its warning. I should like to say a special word to the boys. 1 have the momory to-night of a boy who told me that he had left hit father's home and his father's employ because he had begun to take money from him. and the habit had so grown upon him that it was impossible for him to re' " ---"J I? n_:?t SIM. 1 IK*can. >4iu tie. miiu n ijtuii.i , my last theft w?? W at a single time. Ob, sir." said he, "do you think Clod will forgive m* if I confew it to my father?" It is a mistake to step a?ide the least in a life of sin and I call upon the boya to turn squarely about. I remember the man of whom they told me bis mania was that he could not forget. Thi* man could not forget, nor do I think we can forget. Thrre is Cain with the mark of murder. He cannot f.?rget. There is Pilate, with the memory of Jesua 1,1mm nml kia Ksdilo t>a<1 tv1 K TTlfl blood. He cannot forget. Judas. with th? clinking of the thirty pieces of silver, he cannot forget. Abraham, looking down into the depth*, savs, "Son, remember." When Richard Cour de Leon was a nrisoner fhe people could no? tell where he wan. The cry went up. "Where is the king?" An old musician said, "I will find him." And so to every P?nal institution he made his wav and played the tune of Richard Cour de Leon. After a while there came a fluttering sign that Richard de Lscn heard. I wish I could awaken the memories of your boyhood. I wish every man here could remember hi* mother and father, the old minister and the music of the chime, "Delay not. Delay 1 not. 0 sinner draw nigh." They told me that sometimes in the minds of the poor people who are insane there will come a streak of light, a little prophecy of hope. I have an idea in every man's soul there ' has been such a ray of hope from heaven. You can be a Christian if you will. God help you to be a free man. Tardy Chare Is Gears. It seems to require a larg<* amount of grace and a few generations of good i breeding to resist the temptation to turn the head on hearing the church door creak, the sound of footsteps or the rus* tie of skirts down the aisle after the ser- < vices have be pun. Some ministers, even, are not proof against auch temptation. We have known them to follow with the eye the late comer to a seat, but have never been able to discover whether it was from a desire to aee the offender com- | fortably seated or to administer a mild 1 rebuke for the interruption.

It was only after Moses, with repentance and deep grief, longed and besought for God's presence, which he dreaded to have withdrawn, that he drew bimicK tn ClnA tn ppflwt His fflorv. There are not manv Christians now who need a veil to hide the glorv in their faces lest others be afraid of tnem?unless as ban been Mid the veil waa also that the gradual waning of the light during separation from God, should not be visible to the children of Israel. Then, in truth, it were s good thing that some of us could wear one, lest any see how long it is since we liave talked with Qod, from the earth-look on our faces. There is one more thought to be noted ibout Moses. "Moses wist not the skin of his face shone." The glory of the Lord, which we bear is not seen on the self* righteous face. One who has talked with Bod face to face will be so filled with His message and His greatness that he will not be thinking of himself at all. And thus the transformation comes, softly, silently, "from glory to glory, even as by the Snirit Df God/' A surface laid over with self haa no power to reflect God. It is given to us to watch some Christ tians, as it waa Israel to see Moses; as Peter and James and John wnking out of their careless sleep beheld, wondering, the fashion of Jehus' face alter and His raiment glow with light which was not of TVi/l if ftnmo in^A fko Konrtf kn three di*cip1es to wonder if their facet might ever De so changed? Did they comprehend at once that it was the communion with Hia Father which brought about the change in Jcnus? And did they in after years reflect that glory in some measure for the sight of other trembling, ignorant Christiana? Let us look well to our countenances, if haply they may grow more lovely and more like His image.?New York Mail and Express. Her S*cr*t of Youth. "What a sweet face Jennie Mason it pro wing to have!
