Dr. Talmage Draws Some Lessons
From Summer Outings.
DANGERS AND TEMPTATIONS
The Necessity For a Period of
Inoccupation. No Surplus
of Piety at those
Places.
At this season of the year, when all
who car. pet a vacation are taking it,
this disoourse ol l>r. Talinugc is suggestive
and annronriato. T ie text is
John v, 2, J: "A pool, which is called
in the Hebrew tonguo Bethesda, having
five porches. In theso lay a great
multitude of impotent folk, of blind,
halt, withered, waiting for the moving
of the water."
Outside the city of Jerusalem there
was a sanative watering place, 'the popular
resort for invalids. To this day
there is a dry 1 asin of rock which shows
that there may have been a pool there
200 feet long, 1 JO feet wide and 75 feet
deep. This pool was surrounded by
five piazzas, or porches, or bathing
houses, where the patients tarried until
the time when they were to step into the
water. So far as roinvigorating was
concerned, it must havo been a Saratoga
and a Long Branch on a small hcuIc;
a Leamington and a Brighton combined
?medical and therapeutic. Tradition
says that at a certain season of tho year
~<v. 1 . 1. .
vuviv niia <\n UIHUCI Ol U1U gOVUrillUCIll
who would go down to that water atid
pour in it some healing quality, and
after that tho people would come and
get the medication. Hut I prefer the
plain statement of Scripture, that at a
certain season an angel camo down and
stirred up or troubled the water, and
then the people came and got the healing.
That angel of Clod that stirred up
the Judaen watering place bad his
counterpart in the angel of healing who,
in our day, steps into the mineral water
of Congress or Sharon or Sulphur
Springs, or into tho salt sea at Capo
May and Nahant. where multitudes
who arc worn out with commercial and
professional anxieties, as woll as those
who are afllictcd with rheumatic, neuralgic
and splenetic diseases, go and arc
cured by the thousands. These blessed
Bcthesdas are scattered all up and
down our country.
We arc at a season of the year when
rail trains arc laden with passengers and
baggage on their way to the mountains
and the lakes and the seashore. Multitudes
of our citizens are away for a restorative
absence. The city heats arc
pursuing the people with torch and fear
of sunstroke. The long, silent halls of
sumptuous hotels are all abuzz with excited
arrivals. The antlers of Adirondack
deer rattle under the shot of eity
sportsmen, the trout make fatal snap at
the hook of adroit sportsmen, who toss
their spotted brilliants into the name
basket; the baton of the orchestral leader
taps the music stand on the hotel
green, and American life has put on festal
array, and the rumbling of the tenpin
alley, and the crack of the ivory
balls on the green baized billiard tables,
and the jolting of the barroom goblets
and the explosive uncorking of the
champagne bottles, and the whirl and
the rustic of the ballroom dance, and
the clattering hoofs of the race courses
and other signs of social dissipation attest
that the season for the great American
watering places is in full play.
Music! Flute and drum and cornet apiston
and clapping cymbals wake the

that fagged out American lifo for the
most part has an opportunity to rest
and that nerves racked and destroyed
will find a Ucthesda. I believe in watering
places. They rccuporato for active
scrvico many who were worn out
with trouble or overwork. They arc
national restoratives.
The first temptation that is apt to
hover in this direction is to leave your
piety at home. You will sond tho dog
and cat and canary bird to be well cared
for Homcwhore else, but the temptation
will be to leave your religion in the
room with the blinds down and the
doors bolted, and then you will come
back in the autumn to find that it is
starved and suffocated, lying stretched
on the rug, stark dead. There is no
surplus of j?icty at tho watering places.
I ncyer knew any one to grow very rapidly
in grace at the Catskill Mountain
House or Sharon Springs or the Falls of
Montmorency. It is generally the ease
that the Sabbath is rnoro of a carousal
than any other day, and thore arc Sunday
walks, and Sunday rides, and Sunday
excursions. Flders and deacons
and ministers of religion who are entirely
consistent at home, sometimes
when tho Sabbath dawns on them at
Niagara Falls or the White mountains
take a day to themselves. If they go
to the church, it is apt to bo a sacred
parade, and the discourse, instead of
being a plain talk about the soul, is apt
to be what is called a crack sermon?
that is, some discourse picked out of
the effusions of the year as the one
most adapted to excite admiration, and
in those churches, from the way tho
ladies hold their fans, you know that
they are not so much impressed with
the heat as with the picturcs'iucncss of
half disclosed features. Four puny
HOllltt Kt?n?t in flin 1 11

a tune that nobody knows, and worshipers,
with $2,000 worth of diamonds on
the right hand, drop a cent into tho
poor box, and then tho benediction is
pronounced, and the farce is ended.
The toughest thing I ever tried to do
was to be good at a watering place. Tho
air is bewitched with the "world, the
flesh and the devil." There arc Christians
who, in three or four wooks in
such a place, have had such terrible
rents made in their Christian robe that
they had to keep darning it until
Christmas to get it mended.
Another temptation hovering around
nearly all our watering places is tho
horse raciug business. We all admiro
tho horse, but we do not think that its
beauty or speed ought to be cultured at
the cxpoDSO of human degradation.
The horse race is not of such importance
as the human race. The Bible intimates
that a man is bettor than a sheep,
and I suppose he is better than a horse,
though like Job's stallion, his neck be
olothed with thoudcr. Horse races in
olden times wore under tho ban of Chris
- ?" ~ v-v ,r? .
tian people and in our day the santo
institution has como tip under fictitious
I names. And it is called a "summer
, meeting," almost suggestive of positive
religious exercises. Ami it is
called an "agricultural fair," suggestive
of everything that is improving in
the art of farming, but under theso deceptive
titles are the same cheating,
and the betting, and the same drunkenness,
and the same vagabondage, and
the satno abomination that wero to be
found under tho old horse racing system.
1 never know a man yet who could
give himself to the pleasures of tho
turf for a long reach of time and not he
battered in moials. They hoot tip their
spanking team and put on their sporting
cap and light their cigar and tnko
tho reins and dash down on the road to
perdition! Tho great day at Saratoga
and Brighton Itcach and Cape May and
nearly all the other watering places is
tho day of the races.
Another temptation hovering around
the watering place is the formation of
hasty and lifelong alliances. The
watering places arc responsible for
more of the domestic infelicities of this
country than nearly all other things
combined. Society is so artificial thcro
that no sure judgment of character can
he formed. They who form companionships
amid such circumstances go
into a lottery where there arc 20 blanks
to one prize. In the severe tug of life
you want more than glitter and splash,
liifo is not a ballroom where the music
decides the step, and how ami prance
and graceful swing of long train can
make up for strong common sense. You
I might as well go among the gayly
painted yachts of a summer regatta to
iind war vessels as to go among the
light spray of the summer watering
place to find character tlut can stand
the tost of the great struggle of human
life. In the battle of life you want a
stronger weapon than a laco fan or a
croquet mallet. The load of life is so
heavy that in order to draw it you
want a team stronger than that made
up of a masculine grasshopper and a
feminine butterfly. If there is any man
in the community who excites my contempt
and who ought to excite the contempt
of every man and woman, it is
the soft handed, soft headed dude, who,
perfumed until the air is actually sick,
spends his summer in striking killing
flttit.llflm 11 till Wftvincr ui\ r* * i ^ ? 1
- -> -* ovuvimuiimi auf
c\ix, and talking infinitesimal nothings,
and finding his heaven in the set of a
lavender kid glove. Moots as tight as
an inquisition. Two hours of conrri-u
mate skill oxhibitcd in the tic < I ..
(lashing cravat. Uis eon versa ion
made up of "Aha!" and "t)hs!" and
"He lies!"
There is only one counterpart to t ueh
a man as that, and that is the frothy
young woman at tjic watering places;
her conversation made up of French
moonshine; what she has in her head
only equaled by what she has on her
back; useless ever since alio was born,
and to be useless until she is dead unless
she becomes an intelligent Christian.
Wo may admire music and fair
faces and graceful step; but amid the
hoartlessncss and the inllation and the
fantastic influences of our modern
watering places beware how you mako
lifelong covenants.
Another temptation that hovers over
the watering place is that of baneful
literature. Almost every one starting
oil for the summer takes some rending
matter. It is a book out of the library
or oil' the bookstand or bought of the
boy hawking books through the cars. I
really believe there is more pestiferous
trash read among the intelligent classes
in July and August than in all the other
ten months of the year. Men and women
who at home would not be satisfied
with a book that was not really scnsiblo
1 find sitting on hotel piazza or under
the trees .ending books the index of
which would make them blush if they
knew that you knew what the book was.
"Oh," they say, "you must have intelligent
recreation." Yes. Thcro is no
need that you take along to a watering
puce "Hamilton's Metaphysics" or
some ponderous discourse on the eternal
decrees or "Faraday's Philosophy."
There sire many oasy books that are
good. You might as well say, "1 propose
now to give a little rest to my digestive
organs, and instead of eating
heavy meat and vegetables 1 will, for a
little while, take lighter food?a little
strychnine and a few grains of ratsbane."
Literary poison in August is as bad as
literary poison in December. Mark
that. Do not let the frogs of a "corrupt
printing press jump into your Saratoga
trunk or Whito mountain valiso. Are
there not good books that are easy to
read?books of entertaining travel;
books of congenial history; books of
pure fun; books of poetry, ringing with
merry canto; books of line engraving;
books that will rest the mind as well as
purify the heart and elevate the whole
life? There will not be an hour between
this and your death when vou can
afford to read a book lacking in moral
principle.
Another temptation hovering all
around our watering places is intoxicating
beverages. I am told that it is becoming
more and more fashionable for .
women to drink. I care not how well
a woman may dress, if she has taken
enough of wine to Hush her check and
put a glassincss on her eye, she is drunk.
Sho may bo handed into a $2,500 oarri
11 J - *
use uiiu iuivc diamonds cnougli to astound
the Tinanys?she is drunk. She
may ho a graduato of the best young
ladies' seminary and the dauglitcr of
vomcman in danger of being nominated
for the presidency?she is drunk. You
may have a larger vocabulary than I
have, and you may say in regard to hor
that she is "convivial" or she is
"merry" or she is "festive" or sho is
"exhilarated," but you cannot with all
your garlands of verbiage cover up tho
plain fact that it is an old fashioned
cane of drunk.
Now, tho watering plaecs are full of
temptations to men and women to tipple.
At the close of tho tonpin or
billiard gamo they tipple. At tho closo
of tho cotillon they tipple. Seated on
tho pia/./a cooling themselves off they
tipple. Tho tinged glasses ooino around
with bright straws aud thoy tipple.
First they take "light wines," us thoy
call them, but "light winos" aro heavy
enough to debase tho appetite. There
is not a very long road bctwoon champagne
at $.r> a bottle anl whiskey at 10
conts a glass. Satan has three or four
grades down which ho takes men to destruction.
One man ho takes up and
through one spree pitches him into
eternal darkness. That is a rare caso.
Very seldom indeod can you find a man
who will bo suoh a fool as that. Satan
I
will take another man to a grado, to a
descent a( an angle about like the
Pennsylvania ooal shoot or tho Mount
Washington rail track, and shovo him
off. But this is very rare. When a
man goes down to destruction, satan
brings hin to a plane. It is almost a
level. The depression is so slight that
you can hardly soo it. Tho man docs
not actually know that ho is on tho
down grade, and it tips only a little toward
darkness?Just a little. And the
first mile it is elarot and the second
mile it is sherry and tho third mile it is
punch and the fourth mile it is ale and
the fifth mile it is whiskey and the
sixth mile it is brandy, and then it gets
steeper and steeper and steeper, until it
is impossible to stop. "Book not thou
upon the wine when it is red, when it
givcth its coloi in the cup, when it
movotli itself aright. At tho last it
bitetli like a serpent and stingcth like
an adder."
Whether you tarry at home?which
will be <|uitc as safo and perhaps quite
as comfortable?or go into the country,
arm yourself against temptation. Tho
grace of (Jod is the only safo shelter,
whether in town or country. There are
watering plaoos accessible to all of us.
You cannot open a book of the Biblo
without finding out some such watering
place. Fountains open for sin and un
cleanness. Wells of salvation.
Streams from Lebanon. A flood
struck out of tho rock by Moses.
Fountains in the wilderness discovered
by 11 near. Water to drink nnd wainr
to bathe in. The river of God, which
is full of water. Water of which if a
man drink lie shall never thirst. Wells
of water in the valley ol Baca. Living
fountains of water. A pure river
of water as clear as crystal from under
the throne of God. These are watering
places accessible to all of us. We
do not have a laborious packing up before
we start?only the throwing away
of our transgressions. No expensive
hotel bills to pay; it is "Without money
and without price." No long and
dusty travel beforo we get there; it is
only 0110 step away.
In California, in live minutes, I walked
around and saw ten fountains all bubbling
up, and thoy were all different,
and in five minutes 1 can go through
this Bible parterre and find you f>0
bright, sparkling fountains bubbling
up into eternal lifo ? healing and therapeutic.
A chemist will go to one of
these summer watering places and take
il < t '
uio waicr ana analyze it and tell you
'hat it contains -so much of iron and so
much of soda and so much of lime and
so much of magnesia. I conic to this
gospol well, this living fountain and
analyze the water; and I lind that its
ingredients are peace, pardon, forgiveness,
hope, comfort, life heaven. 4,Ho,
every one that thirstctli conic ye" to
this watering place. Crowd around
this Bcthcsda. () you sick, you lame,
you troubled, you dying?crowd around
this Bcthcsda. Step in it, oh, step in
it. The angel of the covenant t<> day
stirs the water. Why do you not step
in it? Some of you are too weak to
take a step in that direction. Then we
take you up in the arms of prayer and
plunge you clear under the wave, hoping
thattho cure may he as sudden and
as radical as with Captain Naauian,
who blotched and earbuneled, stepped
into the Jordan, and after the seventh
dive came up, his skin roseate complexioncd
as the tlcsh of a little child.
A NEW RAILROAD.
The Seaboard Air Line to Build from
Charleston to Augusta.
Tho "Charleston Air Line" is to he
built in the near future. It will run
from Charleston to Augusta through
Charleston, Colleton, llarnwell anil
Aiken counties. It will bo part of
the Charleston, Augusta and Chattanooga
railroad, application for a charter
for which will shortly be made.
The application for a charter will
shortly be made to Secretary of State
Cooper. I ndcrthe law, advertisement
of the intention to apply for a railroad
charter must bo made for thirty days in
tho papers of tho counties through
which it is proposed to run the railroad.
Such advertisements will immediately
be published and at the expiration of
the thirty days the charter will be asked
for.
The proposed "Charleston Air Lino"
will be 125 miles long and will bo capitalized
at $'1,12s"),000, or $25,000 to tho
mile. This route is about twenty miles
sbo*<icr than the Southern railroad from
Charleston to Augusta. Karnwcll is
tho largest town between Charleston
and Augusta through which the new
road will run.
The Charleston, Augusta and Chattanooga
railroad will be embraced in
the Scaboord Air Line consolidation,
In Georgia a railroad will be built from
Augusta to Athens, which will connect
tho Charleston Air Lino with tho Seaboard's
trunk line from the North to
Atlanta. The tracks of that trunk line
will be used between Athens and Atlanta
by C. A. &0. R. II. Later the
connection between Atlanta and Chattanooga
will bo completed.
This new road will give Charleston a
short and direct line to tho coal, iron
and mill districts of the West. Its
construction will be rapidly pushed.
The Seaboard is after business and will
loso no time in completing tlie arrangements
for getting it Later on the
Seaboard will build from Columbia to
Augusta, thus completing its system in
this Stato and putting itself in condi
tion to compete for the business to
Aiken and Augusta.

The Cotton Crop.
According to tho New York Commercial
the cotton men in New York do
not put much faith in Mr. Neill's estimate
of tho crop. They claim that it
is extravagant and is not based on substantial
facts. The Commercial says:
Mr. Neill's yearly report on tho crop
situation is looked forward to with keen
interest both in this country and in
England. Cotton operators in England
especially have great respect for his
judgment. Mr. Ncill predicted the
enormous crops of 181)4-5)5, 181)7-1)8,
and 181)8 PP. The accuracy of his predictions
in those years have given him
a world-wide reputation us a cotton
crop expen. Whatever he has to say
concerning crop conditions or the future
of the growing crop is listened to
with close attention. Cut this year
the general opinion seems to be that
he has overshot the mark and that the
crop will fall short of his predictions,
lie predicts a crop of 12,000,000 bales.
On tho floor of the New York Stock
Exchange none of the traders seem to
think that the crop will be over 10,1">00,000
bales at the highest. Mr. Ncill
estimates the damage in the lira/.os
river va'ley, the scene of the recent
severe floods in Texas, at barely 100,000
bales. E. S. Holmes, Jr., of the
statistical bureau of tho Department of
Agriculture, who has made a special re11...
i .1..
I"mi wii nit: u^i u iiuuiui Miiuilliwil III 111(3
Hooded section, states that a conservative
estimate of the actual destruction
includes about 277,000 hales.
Thomas M. Kobinson, president of
the Cotton Exchange, when asked what
he thought of the accuracy of Mr.
Neill's prediction, s Uill 'I don't see
how Mr. Ncill or any other man can
pretend to say this early in tho year
what tho crop will be. 1 have known
careful estimates made as late in tho
season as November to be wrong by as
big a margin as 1,000,000 bales. Tho
possibilities of the crop, when all conditions
arc favorable, arc almost infinite,
but account must bo taken of possible
droughts, scorching temperature, and
oincr tilings likely to hurt the crop.
It is hard to say just what result Mr.
Noill's report had on the market. Liverpool
opened four points lower, hut
whether that is to he attributed to Mr.
Noill's report or other causes I don't
know. It is probably a fact, though,
that as much or more reliance is placed
in Mr. Noill's forecast in Liverpool
than anywhere else. English operators
seem to have great confidence in
him. In my opinion it is much too
early to hazard an opinion as to how
large the erop will he this season."
8. T. Ilubbard of Hubbard Hros. ife
Co. said: "The market tells the story.
The estimate undoubtedly pave it a
slight shock. Hut the report is believed
to be extravagant. A man who pretends
to say on August I I what the crop will
he and that it can't be hurt seriously
by frost, rains or drought enough to affect
the ultimate yield is regarded as a
rather loose prophet." Another prominent
trader said: "The estimate is a
big fake. The probable yield is grossly
exaggerated and I don't think Mr.
Ncill believes it himself. Why, orders
are being taken six months ahead for
cotton cloths, both here and abroad, 011
a basis that would allow the spinner to
pay S cents a pound for middling cotton,
and we arc selling middling in the
pit every day at prices about (>A cents
and J)8 cents per pound. I would like
to know where Mr. Neill gets tho information
on which lie bases his report.
We spend a good deal of money
for information and it is just as good
as Mr. Noill's. I fail to see how he deduces
tho facts embodied in his estimate.
The estimate had 110 effect 011
the market."

A SIGNIFICANT TE8TT
How Farmers Voted on Certain Important
Questions,
Farm and Home, an agricultural
journal, published in Chicago, recently
sent out 20,000 postal cards to farmers
throughout the country, asking them to
voto on various questions bearing on
expansion. The first of these questions
was, "Should tho Filipinos bo held in
subjection to the United States, or
should they be allowed to form an independent
government?" The replies
were as follows:

Tho next question was "Should Cuba
be free and independent, or should it
bo annexed to the United States?" Tho
replies to this were 13,199 in favor of
the independence of Cuba and 7,302
in favor of annexation.
Tho ninth question was, "In general
