DR. TALMAGE'S SERMON FOR LATE
JULY INSCOTLAND.
".Jesup; tie Narne High Over Al"--The
Woniderbal Word---Alleviallot of lit
nan Sorrow---Dylng Tentimouites of
Many Eminent Men,
LONDON, July 31.-Since his return
from Russia Dr. Talmage has been lit
erally flooded with invitations to address
congregations and lyceums on the sub
ject of his journey to the land of the
czar, whither he went with Mr. Louis
Klopsch to direct the distribution ot The
Christian Herald relief cargo. While
expressing his high appreciation of the
cordial welcome and splendid hospital
ity extended by the ollicials of St. Pet
ersburg and Moscow, of the civic lion
ors heaped upon the American visitors
and of Russia's national gratitude to
America, as personally expressed by the
czarowitz at Peterhof, where he enter
tained them as guests, Dr. Talmage has
been compelled to adhere to his original
programme. During the week he has
been preaching in the leading Scottish
cities. Ilis arrangements f or next week
include services at Newcastle and Sun
Ierlaud, and thereafter he goes to the
isle of Man for a few (lays. The ser
mon selected for this week is entitled
"Pre-eminent," the text being John iii,
31, "Ile that cometh from ablove is
above all."
The most couspi.uous character of
history steps out upon the plattorm.
The linger which, dialnonded with light,
pointed (own to him from the Betile

linger of prophecy, the Linger of geneal

of events-all live lingers pointing im
one direction. Christ i the overtoppIng
figure of all time, le is the vox hu
manna ini all music, the gracelulest line
in all sculpture, tfie most exquisite
mingling of lights and shades in all
painting, the acme of all climaxts, the
dome of* all cathedraled grandeur and
the peroration of all splendid languige.

they might all well uuite in the words

First, Christ muist be abfove all else
in our preaching. TIhere are so many
hooks on homiletics scattered through
the woirld that all laymcn, as well as all
clergymen, have made up their minds
what, sermons ought to be. T1hat ser
mn is most effectual which tuost ptoamt
edly punts forth Christ as the pardon of
all sin and the correction of all evil, in
dividual, social, p~oliticail, national.
Theire is no reason why we should ring
the endless changes on ai few phrases.
Theie are those who think that if an ex
hiortation or a discourse have fretauent
m'ention of' justification, sanctification,
covenant of works and covenant of grace,
that, therefore it must be profouindly.
evangelical, while they are suspicious of
a discourse which presents the same
truth, but under differenit phraseology.
N4ow, 1 say there is nothing ini all the
opuilenlt realn of Anglo-Saxonism or all
the word treeures that were inherited
from the Latin and the Greek and the
Indlo-European but we have a right to
muarshal it in rehgvious discussion. ('hrist
bets tihe eXaniple. llis illaistrations
were from tihe grass, the f'lowers, the
alpittle, the salvo, the barnyard fowl,
the crystals of' salt, as well as from the
seas and the stairs, and( we (10 not piro
pose in our Sabbath school teaching and
in our pulplit address to be put on the
limits.
I know that theire is a great deali said

When we come to set forth the love
of Christ we nre going to take the ten
derest, phraseology wherever we find It,
andi( if it has iiever been used in that dir -
ection before, all the more shall we use
it. When we come to speak of the
glory of Christ, the conqueror, we are
going to draw our smIles from triumphal
arch and oratorio and everything grand
and stupendous. The French navy
have eighteen flags by which they give
signal, but those eighteen flags they can
put into sixty-six thousand different
combinations. And I have to tell you
that these standards of the cross may be
lifted Into combimationus mnfinite and va
rIeties everlasting. And let me say to
young men who are after awhile going
to preach Jeans Christ, you will have
the largestt liberty and unlimited re
sonece. You only have to present
Cbrist In your own way.
Jonathan Edwards preached Christ in
the4 severest argument ever penned, and
J@hn Bunyan preached Christ In the
ublimest allegory ever composed. Ed- a
vard Payson, sick and exhausted, li
Daned up against the side of the pulpit v
nid wept out his discourse, while George
Vhitetield, with the manner and the I
'oce aud the start of an actor, over
fieliied his auditory. It would have

vard3s had tried to write and dreain I
Lhout tile pilgiitu's progress to tle ce- t

ickle them. Kindlin pulpits with
heir tire, and producing revolutions
with their power, lighting up dying beds
with %heir glory, they are the sweetest

Oh what a Gospel to preach! Christ
(-vt r all in it. His birth, his sufferlig,
his mi aules, his parables, his sweat, his
tears, his blood, his atonement, his inter

exercise faith? Christ is its object. Do
we ha lovt? It fastens on .Jesus. Have
we a iadness for the church? It is be

Kinard, the rape lend of Irmo, was
,p? spirited away from Lexingtou ja'l last
or night and lodged in the penitentiary

)n being lynched, as he surely would have

lg at Lexington Court House last night.
us Every since George Kinard waq arrested
re at Irmo for rape on last Sunday after
1 noon a week ago it has been feared
d that an attempt would be made to lynch
him. This sherilt Drafts determined
of should not be if It was in his power to
rs prevent it, and lie has succeceded.
ad The Lexington Wiles were calhed on
is to guard the jail, but this they could not
d do without orders from the Governor,
r, and he was out of reach for the time, so
A they volunteered as private citizens to
ut protect the good name of their county
ie until orders were received to act as a
to military guard. This determination was
i strengthencd in them by two conuidera.
I tion-firet they held that the people of
Ve Irmo, if they were convinced of Kinard's
the guilt should not have brought him to
e jail after having him in charge for
lie twenty-four hours; second great doubts
Ae had been brought to them of Kinard's
to guilt, and they were not willing to see
o an innocent man lynched. So on Monday
;n night they guarded the jail as private
cit!ze)s and after that they were placed
ly under the orders of the Sheriff' at a mill
tary company and have guirded the jail
, ever since.
The people of Irmo on the other hand
r- say that they have no shadow of doubt
of his uiudi. and it seems,were determined

a would have no opposition. But in this

PROHIBITION'S PLEA.
An Emnest Appeal to Every Voter tt I i
statte to 1101D.
The State Prhibition 'xci:utivt
Committee would present a few tact
and propositions for the consideratioi
of the voters of Sauth Carolina, as jua
tifying the appeal which we make t
them to support the present movemen
to secure the prohibition of the liquo
trailc in our State.
That this traille as now fostered b
governments, protected by laws, en
trenched by custom and long usage, i
the producing cause of at least 75 pe
cent, of all the pauperism, vice an
crime whieh afflict the State; that it i
the nucleus of impurity, anarchy an
moral and spiritual deatn, and that i
imposes enormous avoidable burden
upon individuals, families and th
State, admits of no controversy, as th
proofs are unfortunately too familia
to the observation and experience o
every man, woman and child amoni
us.
That the traffic is producing thes
direful results at this time, all ove
South Carolina, Is attested undeniabl.
by the largely increased criminal busi
ness of our courts, the filling of ou
jails with criminalq, our peitentiar;
with convicts and our asylum with lun
atics, the degradation and ruin of man:
of our brightest young men, and th
general condition of unrest and demor
alization which is everywhere apparent
In a word, it is the agency most poten
tial in its influence in opposing the in
tellectual, social, material, financial, ed
ucational and moral interest of our pec
ple, and opposes a. almost insurmount
able barrier to the salvation of humat
souls. This condition of things i
neither natural nor desirable, and ex
ists in spite of the denunciations o
God's immutable word against it, an(
the efforts of the good and true to re
form it.
All efforts to veyttlate or restrain th
traflic, or mitigate its evils by law, hay
proven abortive, because under the de
moralizing influences,l inherent in tH
traffic, the liquor seller utterly disre
gards or violates every provision whici
is intended to restrain, and the author
ities tolerate or condone lio violatio
because of their share in the profits
which, in the shape of a license fee
comes in to swell the revenue of th
county and municipal treasuries. U1n
der the same inluences the people, too
have become tolerant of its evils he
cause ot the false impression made upot
them that the revenue derived from i
relieves them, to that extent, from th
burdens of tax.ttion. Thus it is the le
galized liquor traffic in South Carolin;
is today conducted iu utter disregarI
of every restraining provision of lav
and of every light of the class lo
whose interest and protection thes(
provisions were framed.
If these statements were true of any
other business or class of men ainong
us, their mere announcement would bt
sufficient to arouse such a storm o
righteous indignation as would only ht
satisiled by the final and complete re
moval of the evil complained of.
This being apparent as to the naturt
and results of the liquor trallic. who i
responsible for its continuance?
We answer as the delierate an(
soleni conviction on our cousciences
You! the free white voters of the State
wvhose sovereign decrees at the ballo
box no hiuman power dare paiusay-yol
are responsible for the contiinuanice o
these evils. Oh, our fellow citizem
bear with us if, in the deep interests o
our consciousness of the terrible woe
which, by this system, we impose upoi
our helpless wives and children, w
press the matter upon you In term
which seem to be severe.
Eixaminie for yourselves and seei
what we assert is not the truth, and re
gard us not as enemies because we tel
you the truth.
The present prohibition movement I:
made under circumstances and condi
tions which seem to us to give promuisi
of success, if the voters, who are, o
ought to be, In sympathy with tile et
fort, wvili take advantage of the oppor
tunity which it affords.
There never has been before so hearts
and general a response to the call whici
is being made for the friends of pro
hibition to rally to its support. Ther<
is a more thorough organizatioi
throughout the State than at any for m
en per id, and the powerful aid which
comes from the pulpit, the press an<
the organized temperance bodies is as
sured to our movement with all thb
vigor and zeal which so noble a worl
for God and humanity is calculated t<
inspire in such auxiliaries.
Not the least of the conditions which
favor our success at this time is the fac
that we have been accorded the right
as D)emnocratic voters, to test the sensi
of the voters and the candidates for tha
Legislature on the quest,ion at the fIIrst
Democratic election, with all the right:
and protection which the party nma
chinery secures for a free ballot and i
fair count. The wisdom and imipor
tance of this arrangement appears i
thie fact that this tent will lbe made freE
from complication with any persona
or factional issues on other questiomi
on which the voters may differ, an<~
that those wvho would be disposed tc
favor prohibitive legislation for thE
whole State as more effective thai
license or local prohibition can vote ir
this instance free from the fear that thi
expression of their will caunnot 6s'u
IifIedo aIIe '/falu i b>y auf nerwhel/m
11u( neg~jro vote.
With those advantages in ouri favor
can we succeed ? WVe can, if tihe voe
of the pledged templerance men'i, theo
50,000) votes of the members of Chiri
tian churches, and the votes of friend:
of prohibitioii not includedt ini thei twc
former classes, unito to say that the
legalized liqunor traflic ini South Carolimi
shall cease. Itf these voters, with thle
vows of Glod and of their organizatiom
upon them:, will for once meect thi(
solemn responsibilities which this oc.
casion imiposes upon them, arnd which,
tney cannot evadie andl be guiltless be
fore God and manm, and will cast theim
votes for their altars and homes, ouji
success is accolmplished.
At its recent meeting the Executive
Commirittee adloptedh a resolution r'.
qjuesting the ministers throughout the
State, by their votes andi their prauyers
and their work, to aid in this great
cauise, andlE to set apart the third ami
fourth Sabbaths In August as "proh i bi
tion days," on which sermons on ti
sul,ject shall be preached and earnest
supplication made for the success ol
the cause.
To God, the Supreme Arbiter of all
human affYairs, let us therefore makt
an earnest appeal, and, voting as we
pray, lot us hopefully expect that soon
er or Jlter success will crown our er
forts to redeem our altars aind oul
homes from the curse of the destroyer
