was tout of great domestic an

Mvd of an erfl spirit which, among other
i things paralysed his tongne and made him

V patient he could not say a word? articula
tion was impossible. The spirit that cap
tured this member of tbd^hooashokl Was a
dumb spirit? so caOed by Christ? a spirit
abroad to-day and as lively aad potent as it
New Testament tames. Yet in all of th*
realms of sermonoloey I cannot find a die
course concerning this dumb devil whiel
Christ charged upon my text, j saying
"Come out of him."
There h<w ben much destructive supersti
tion abroad in the world coocerning poeotn
sion by evil spirits. Under the form of belie:'
in witocraft this delusion swept tbo
continents. Persons Were supposed to bu
possessed Willi some eril Writ which tnado
them able to destroy, others. In the six
teenth century In Genera 1500 persons weru
burned to death as -witches. Under on<?
judge in Lorraine 600 persons wens borne! ,
to death as witches. In one neighborhood of*, i
France 1000 persons were burned. lntw>
centuries ? 200, COO persons were slain , as
witches. So mighty was the delusion that
rt included among its victims some of He
greatest intellects of all time, such as Chi^i
Justice Mathew Bale ml Sir Edward Coke,
and such renowned ministers of religion es
Cotton Hither, one of whose books, Bebjatnin
Franklin said, shaped his life? and Richard
Baxter and Archbishop Cranmer and Mar
tin Luther, and among . writers and philoso
pher?, Lord Bacon. That belief, which bts
become the laughing stock of all seiuible
people^.coanted itsdisdples emoog the wisest
and best people of Swede*, Germany.. Eng
land, France*' Spam and New England. ' B it
while we reject witchcraft an? man who b?
lieves the Bible must believe that 'there arc
diabpncal agencies abroad in the world.
While there are ministering spirits to bites
there ve infernal spirits to hinder, te poison
and deferoy. Christ w^peakinglto a spir
itual existence when, standing before the
afflicted one of the text, He said, 'Thou
dumb; and deaf spirit, Come out of him."
Against thisdumb devil of the teat* I put
you oh your guard, Do not t&injk that this
agent of evil has put his blight on those who,
by onkihissioo of the vocal organs^ have lad
the golden gates of speech bolted and barred.

Oh, friends, better load up with a f<?w in-/

is to drive out the xdumb: devil of the text
from all our churches ?
, Do not, however, us lose ourselves In
generalities. Not^jie of us but has had our
vee sometimes touched by the evil Spirit of
the teit? this awful dumb devil. We had
just one opportuuitv of saying a Christian
word tnat mignt save led & man or ; woman
into a Christian life. The opportunity tfas
fairly put before us. Tbe word of invita
tion or consolation or warning camp to the
inside gate of the mouth, but there it baited.
Some hindering power locked the jaws to
gether so/tbat they did not open. The
ton&ue lyr fia'an'l still in the bottom of the
inouth %s" though strack with paralysis. We
were mtote. Thousa Go 1 had given us the
phvsijwogical anparapus for speech, and our
lungs were filled Fitu air which, by- the
command of our mil, could "have made the
?fcryngeal muscle/ move anl the vocal
organs vibrate,/ we were wickedly and
fatally silent, wnr all time and eternity we
missed our chance .
; Or it wax a prayer meeting, and the ser
vice was thrown open for prayer and re
marks, and there was a dead halt?every
thing silent as a 'graveyard at midnight.
Indeed it was a graveyard an t midnight .
An embaraV^pg pause took place that put a
wet blanket on all ths meeting. Men, bold
enough on businesi exchange or in worldly
circles, shut their eyes as though they were
praying in silencs, but thev were not crav
ing at au. iney were ousy nopmg some
body else would do his duty. The women
flushed un ier the awiul pause and made
their fans more rapidly flutter. Some
brother with no col 1 coughed, by that sound
tryinjL-*rr"fill up tbe time, and the meeting
wap^viia. Hut what kill? 1 it?? tbo> dum'j
' This is the way 1 accouat for ths tact tbat
the stupidest places on earth are some
prayer meetings. I do not see how a man
keeps any grace if he regularly attends
them. They are spiotuai refrigerators.
Religion kept on ice. How many of us hive
lost occasions of usefulness? In a sculpCSWr
