DR.
TALMAGE’S SERMON ON IMPROV
IDENCE AND ALCOHOLISM.
Th<* flrciitcsfc Faciny of the 1’eople Who
Work—Drink the Anarchist of the Cen
turies—A I'lea lor Christian Pruilecce.
Christ as an Aid Against Temptation.
Washington, May 23.—This sermon ;
of Dr. Tulmago is an arraignment of j
improvidence in all classes, and of al- |
coholism as the greatest enemy of the
working people. The text is Haggai i,
6, “Ho that earuetli wages earueth
wages to put it into a hag with holes.’’
In Persia, under the reign of Darius
Hyststspes, the people did not prosper.
They made money, but did not keep it.
They were like people who have a sack
in which they put money, not knowing
that the saik i.s torn or eaten of moths,
cr in someway made incapable of hold
ing valuables. As fast as the coin was
put in one end of tho sack it dropped
out of the other. It made no difference
bow much wag< s they got. for they lost
tlum. “lie that earnetli wages enrm th
wages to put it into a hag with holes.”
What has Leecmo of the billions and
billions ( f dollars in this country paid
to tho working classes? Some of these
moneys have gene for house rent, cr
the purchase of bniui steads, or ward
robe, < r family expenses, < r the necessi
ties of life, or to provide comforts in
old age. What has become of oth< r bil
lions? Wasted in foolish outlay. Wasted
at the gaming table. Wasted in intox
icants. Put into a bag with ICO holes.
Gather up the money that the work
ing classes have spent for drink during
the last 30 years, and I will build frr
every workingman a house and lay out
for him a garden, and clothe his sons in
broadcloth and his daughters in silks,
and place at his front doer a prancing
span of sorrels or hays, and secure
him u policy of life insurance, ^o that
the present home may be well main
tained aft< r he is dead. The most per
sistent, most overpowering ei!< my of tho
working classes is intoxicating lienor.
It is the anarchist of the eenturii s and
has boycotted and i? now boycotting
the body and mind and soul of Amer
ican labor. It is to it a worse foe tlum
monopoly end worse than ussociutui
capital.
A Strike Arnlnst Strong Drink.
It annually swindles industry out cf
a large percentage ei its earnings. It
holds out its I lasting solicitations to
the mechanic or operative cn his w ay
to work, aud at tho noon spell, and on
^his way homo at eventide; on .Satur
day, wh( a the wagt s are paid, it

American nation.”

The following circumstances came
vutitr our olitenratiou: A young uir.u
worked hard to earn his $<IU0 or $700
|
had inherited $500 from her grand
father. She spent every dollar of it on
the wedding dress. Then they rented
two rooms in a third story. Then the
young man took extra evening cmploy-
Eicut—almost exhausted with the day's
work, yet took evening employment.
It almost extinguished his eyesight.
Why did he add evening employment to
the day employment? To get money.
Why did he want to get money? To lay
up something for a rainy day? No. To
t) t iiis life insured, so that in case of
his death his wife would not Lo a keg-
gar? No. He put the extra evt niug
work to tho day work that he might get
$150 to get his wife a s’calskiu coat.
The sister of tho bride heard of this
achievement, and was not to be ec lipsed, j
She was very poor, and she sat up work* j
ing nearly all the night for a great while
until she bought a sealskin coat. I have
not heard of the result on that street.
The street was full of those who are cu
small internes, but I suppose the con
tagion spread aud that everybody bad a
sealskin coat and that the people came
out and cried, practically, not literally,
“Though the heavens fall, we must ka\o
a sealskin coat. ”
Tlie RecKleftnly luiproiiiieiit.
I was out west, aud a minister of
the gospel told me in Iowa that his
church and the neighborhood hud been
impoverished by the fact that they put
mortgages on their farms in order to
send their families to the Philadelphia
centennial. It was not respectable not
to go to the centennial, lii tween such
evils autl pauperism thtre is a very
short s:tep. The vast majority of chil
dren in your almshouses are there be
cause their parents are drunken, lazy or
recklessly improvident.
I have no sympathy for skinflint sav
ing, but I plead for Christian pre- ,
dt nee. You say it is iniis ssible now to
lay up anything for a rainy day. I
know it, but we are at the daybreak of
national prosperity. Mine people* think
it is mean to turn the gas low when
they go out of the parlor. They fet 11 m-
barraesed if the doorbell rings before :
they have the hall lighted. They apolo
gize for the plain meal, if you surprise
them at the table. Well, ir is mean if
it is only to pile up a mi rrly board.
Dut if it he to educate your children, if
it be to give more help to your wife'
when she tlt ts not fed strong, if it lo
to keep your funeral day irem being
horrible beyond all endurance, bt cause
it is to be the disruption and annihila-
ti' n t f the done stic eirelt —if it, be for
that, then it is magnifici nt.
There are those who are kept in pov
erty because of their own fault. Tin y
might have been well iff, hut they
smoked or eht wed up their earnings,
or tiny lived beyond their means, while
olhers on the same wages and on the
same salarit s went on to <■< nipt tt ncy. I
know a man wh" is all the time com

More Doles In tlie Rag,
If by some gem it us fiat t f the capi
talists ' f this country < r by a m-w law
of tin* governmt nt of the United .States
25 ] i r t < nt oi 50 per t<nt or 100 per
ct nt wore add'd to the wages of the
working classes of America, it would
be i:o advantage to liuntlrtds of thou
sands of tiit in unit -s they steppt d strong
drink. Aye, until they quit that t vil
habit the more money the more ruin,
the more wages the more holes in the
! bag.
Mypha is to the‘■e working people
who are in a diw ijilt ship to tho whisky
bottle, the betr jug anti the wine flask.
And what I say to them will not be
mt re appropriate to tho working classes
1 than to the husint-s classt s and tho lit-
era.y < la-s< and the j rob ssional ehust-s
anil all t la- 's, and not with the people
ct one age mi tf than ti all ages. Take
< no* geotl square h,ok at the suffering of
the man whom strong drink has en
thralled ami renu mbt-r that toward that
goal multitudes aie running. The dis
ciple of ulecheliMii suffers the loss of
self respect. Just as soon as a man
v.akis up and tiudn that he is tho cap-
tiv« of sti» ng tlrink, 1"; 1' els dt moaned.
1 tio not caie how rockhly he at fs. Ho
may say, “I don’t care;” he th < s care.
He cannot look a pure man in tho eye
unli ss it is with positive force of r> so
lution. Thn e-fourths of his nature is
| d'stn ytd; his self iesp« ct is g« i * ; lie
says things he would not otherwise say;
■ be tie's things lit wt uld nt.t otbt rwiso
do. W)i< n a man is niii' -tenths gt ii'i
with strong drink, the fii>t thing he
v ants to tlo is to pt isur.de you tliat ho
i can stop any time fit: wants to. Ho can
not. Tlie HiilistiUt s have bound him
hand and font, anil slioin his locks, and
put t.ut his •yes, and are making him
grind in the mill ot a great horror. Ho
cannot stop. J will prove it. He knows
that his course is bringing ruin upon
himself. H»* lev s him-elf. If he could
stop, he would, ll" knows his course is
bringing ruin upon his family. He loves
tliein. He would stop if be could. Ho
cannot. IVrhups he could three months
or u year ago; not now. Just ask him
to stop for a month. He cuiiin I—he
knows he cannot, so he <1 s not try.
Kitlftl by Drink,
I had .a friend who w as fi r 15 year*
going down under this t vil habit. Un
had large means. He hail given thou
sands <1 dollars to Dibit soon tits anti
reformatory institutions of all sorts. He
was vi ry genial, very gun rous and very
lovable, mid whenever he talked about
| this evil habit he would say, ”1 can
■top any time.” Hut he kept going on,
going on, down, (town.dow n. HIn family
would say, “1 wish yon would stop.”
“Why,” he would reply, “I can stop
yearly. Marriage day cuiue. The ht<db , <ujy time, if I want to.” After uv/hib
he had delirium tremens—he had it
twice, and yet after that he s-aid, “I
could step at any time, if I wanted to.”
He is dead now. What killed him? :
Drink! Drink! And yet among hia last i
utterances was, “I can stop at any
time.” Ho did not stop it because ho
could not stop it. Oh, there is a jwint
in inebriation beyond which if a man
goes he cannot stop! One of these vic
tims said to a Christian man, “Sir, if
I were told that I couldn’t get a
drink until tomorrow night unless I
bad all my ling' rs cut off, I would say,
‘Bring the hatchet and cut them off
now.’ ” I have a dear friend in Phila
delphia whese nephew came to him one
day, aud when he was exhorted about
his evil habit said: “Uncle, I can’t
gm it up. If there stood a cannon and
it was loaded, and a glass of wine were
set on the mouth of that cannon, and I
knew that you would fire it off just as I
came up and took the glass, I would
start, for I must have it.” Oh, it is a
sail thing for a man to wake up in this
life and ft el that he is a captive! He
says: “I could have got rid of this cnee,
but I can’t now. I might have lived an
honorable life and died a Christian
death, but there is no hope fui me now.
Thtre is no escape for me. Dead, but
not buried. I am a walking corpse. I
am an apparition of what I once was. I
am a caged immortal beating against
the win s t f my rage in this direction—
boating against the cage uutil there is
blood on the wires aud blood upon my
soul, yet not able to got cut. Destroyed
without remedy!”
The Drunkard's Sefft-ring.
I go on aud say that the disciple of
rent suffers from the loss of health. The
cider men may remember that some
years ago Dr. fcewt ll went through this
country and electrified the people by his
lectures, in which he showed the effects
of alcoholism on the human stomach.
He had seven or eight diagrams by
which he showtd the devastation of
str< ug drink upon the physical system.
There were thousands cf people who
turned back frt in that ulcerous sketch,
swearing eternal abstinence from every
thing that could intoxicate.
God only knows what the drunkard
suffers. Pain files cn every nerve, and
travels even'muscle, and gnaws every
bone, and burns v\ith every flame, and
stings with evt ry poison, and pulls at
him with every torture. What reptiles
crawl over his sit < ping limbs. What
fiends stand l y his midnight pillow.
What groans tear his ear. What hor
rors sliivt r through his soul. Tt Ik of the
rack, talk of the inquisition, talk of tiie
funeral pyre, talk of the crushing Jug-
gi ruaut—he feels them all at once.
Have you ever been in the ward of the
hospital where these itnLriatts are
dying, the stench of their wounds
driving hack the attendant-, their voices
Founding through the night? The keep
er (■t.nies up and says: “Hush, now lo
still. Mop making all this noise. ” Dut
it is effietual only for a moment, frr as
sr: n as the kcept r is gone they begin
again: “O God! O God! licipf
Help! Drink! Give me drink! H* Ip!
Take tin m off me! Take them off me!
O God!” And tli<n they’ si rick, and
they rave, and they pluck out their hair
by handfuls and bite tin ir nails into
the quick, anti tin u tiny groan, and
they shriek, and they Ida-pheme, and
tiny ask the keepers to kill linn.—
“Stab i! « ! Smother me! Strangle me!
Take the tit vils off me!” Ob, it h- no
fancy skt t'Jj. That thing is going on
now ail up aud down the* land, aud I
tt 11 y< u further that this is going to he
tlie death tiiat : une of you will die. i
know it. I e it coming.
A DfStroj-fr «>f tin* Home.
Again the inebriate suflVrs through
the h>s of home. 1 do not care hov
much he loves his wife and children, if
this pa.—ion for strong drink has mus-
tcicd him he will do tho most outra
geous things, and if he could net get
di ink in any other way he would sell
bis family into eternal bondage. How
many homes have been broken up in
that way tin one but God knows. Oh,
is there anything that will so tit -troy a
man for this life aud damn him for the
life that is to t ome? Do not tell me that
a man ran It happy when he knows
that he is freaking his v. ife’s heart and
clothing hit ehildn n with rags. Why.
there are on the rout’s and streets of this
land today little children, bare footed,
unwashed and unkempt, want on every
patch of tin ir faded dress and en every
wrinkle of their prematurely old t-ouii-
temiiifCH, who would have been in
church' s today anti us well clad us you
un- but for tlie fact that run. destroyed
tin ir parents aud drov them into the
grave. Oh, rum, thou foe of God, thou
d* spoilt r of homes, thou recruiting olfi-
ct r of the pit, 1 hate thee.
Dut my sulijtet tala s a deeper tone,
anti that is that tho unfortunate of
whom I speak suffers from the It-s tf
tlie •< ul. Tin Dilde intimates that in
the future world, if we aie unforgivcu
hue, our 1 .al pasfions anti upp* tites,
uni' strain! d, will go along with us and
m our torni' ut there, fcn that, I sup-
pi *, wh n an inebriate wakes up in
that world lie will ft el un infinite thirst
consuming him. Nov/, down in this
world, altht ugh li» may have been vi ry
just, lie could beg or he co uld steal 5
edits with which to git that which
would f lake his thiist ft r a little while,
but in t U mity where is the rum to
come from?
Oh, the di < p, exhausting, exasperat
ing, everlasting thirst of the drunkard
in hell! Why, if a fiend f ame up to
earth for some infernal work in u grog-
shop and should go Luck tal.iug on itt
wing jmt one tin p of that fer which
tho inebriate- in the It t world longs,
vhut i xciti ini nt would it make tht re!
Hut that one drop from t ff tin fi< nd'a
v.ing on tin tipi f tlie tongue of the tic-
sfroyetl iuebriate, let the liquid bright-
lit — just touch it, let tho drop b» vi ry
small, if it only have in it the smack ot
ulf’ohnliodrink; let that drop just touch
the It rt ini briute iu the lost world, ami
he v/i uhl spring to Lin feet and t ty:
“That is riirn, aim! That is rum!” And
it would wake Up the cchotM of tho
damned: “Give me rum! Give me rum!
, Gm- me rum!’' In the future world I
do not believe that it will to the absence
of God that will make the drunkard’s
sorrow. I do m t believe it will be tho
ab: c nee of light. I do not b< lieve that
i{ will be the absence of holiness. I
think it will be the absence of rum.
Oh, “Lotk not upon the wine when it
is red, win n it movetli itself aright in
the c up, for at the last it biteth like a
serpent, and it stmgeth like an adder.”
T!u* Hflp of liod’K Grace.
While I declared some time ago that
there was a point beyond which a niau
could not stop, I want to tell you that,
while a man cannot stop in his own
, strength, the Lord God by his grace can
help him to stop at anv time. I was
iu a room in New York where there
were many men who had been reclaimed
from drunkenness. I heard their testi
mony, and frr the first time in my life
the re flashed out a truth I never under
stood. They said: “We were victims of
strong drink. We trhd to give it up,
but always failed, hut somehow since
we gave cur hearts to CJirist he has
taken rare of us.” I believe that the
time will scon come when the grace of
God will show its power not only to
save man’s soul hut’ hi« body and re
construct, purify, elevate and redeem it.
I verily believe that although you
feel grappling at the roots of your
tongues an almost omnipotent thirst, if
you will give your heart to (-rod, ho will
help you by his grace to conquer. T:y
it. It is your last chance. I have look
ed oft upon the desolation, fitting next
to you in our religious assemblages
thtre are a good many people in awful
peril, ami judging from ordinary cir-
cunistances there is not one chance in five
thousand that they will get clear of it.
There are men in every emigre gation
from fc'al bath to Sabbath of whom I
must make the remark that if they do
not change their course within ttn
years they will, as to their bodie s, lie
down in drunkards’ graves, aud as to
their pe nis, lie down in a drunkard's
i perdition. I know that is an awful
thing to say, but I cannot help saying
it.
Darkness Fort-vt-r.
Oh, beware' You have not yet been
captured. Dew a re! Whether the Lever
age be poured in golden chaiie? or pew-
! ter mug, in the foam at the top, in
white letters, let there be spelled out to
your st ul, “Beware!” When Hit books
of judgment are open, and 10,000,000
drunkards come up to get their doom, I
want you to Lear witness that i, in tb?
fear cf God and in the love for your
soul, told yen, with all affection aud
with all kindness, to beware eif that
which has already exerted ir* influence
upon your family, blowing tut some of
it- lights—a preuie.niti(>u cf the black
ness cf darkness lorevt r.
Oh, if you could only bear intomprr-
ance with drunkards’ hones drumming
on the head t f the liquor task the (h ad
march of immortal souls, mi thinks the
very glance of a wine cup v. mid make
you Fhudtltr, and the color of the liquor
would make you think of the blood of
th'- st ul, and tho foam on the tt ;< of the
