I ( ) THE LEDGER: GAFFNEY, S. C., MAY 5, 1898. A) BRAWNY RELIGION. TALMAGE HERALDS IMPENDING DR. CH RICH AN REVOLUTIONS. Jicw Con<WtInn« Neetlpd In Onr Charchrn and In Our Home* — Pride and Exclu- Rivenetf Mu«t Come Down—Welcome tLc Day of Great Revivals. (Copyright, 1808, by American Press Asso ciation. | Washington, May 1.—This discourse of Dr. Tiilnmi’o is revolutionary for I good in families and churches and na tions, and especially appropriate for these times; text, Acts xvii, <J, “These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also.” There is a wild, bellowing mob around the house of Jason in Tbessa- lonica. What has the man done so greatly to offend the people: He has been entertaining Paul and his comrades. The mob surround the bouse and cry: “Bring out those turbulent preachers. They are interfering with onr business. They aro ruining our religion. They are actually turning the world upside down." The charge was true, for thsre is nothing that so interferes with sin, there is nothing so ruinous to every form of established iniquity, there is nothing that has such tendency to turn the world upside down, as our glorious Christianity. The fact is that the world now is wrong side up, and it needs to bo turned upside down iu order that it may be right side up. The time was when men wrote books entitling them “Apologies For Christianity. ” I hope that day has passed. We want no more apologies for Christianity. Let the apol ogies be on the part of those who do not believe in our religion. Wo do not mean to make any compromise in the matter. We do not wish to hide the fact that Christianity is revolutionary, and that its tendency is to turn the world upside down. Onr religion has often been misrep resented as a principle of tears and mildness and fastidiousness; afraid of crossing people’s prejndices; afraid of making somebody mad; with silken gloves lifting the people up from the church pew iuto glory, as though they were Bohemian glass, so very delicate that with one touch it may bo demolish ed forever. Men speak of religion as though it were a reliued imbecility; as though it were a spiritual chloroform that the people were to take until the sharp cutting of life were over. The Bible, so far from this, represents the religion of Christ as robust and brawny —ransacking and upsetting 10,000 things that now seem to bo settled on firm foundations. I hear some man iu the house say, “I thought religion was peace.” That is tho final result. A man's arm is out of place. Two men come and with groat effort put it back to the socket. It goes back with great pain. Then it gets well. Onr world is horribly disordered and out of joint. It must come under an omnipotent surgery, beneath which there will bo pain and anguish before there eau come perfect health and quiet. I proclaim, there fore, iu tho name of my Lord Jesus Christ—revolution! Christian Devolutions. The religion of tho Bible will make a revolution iu tho family. Those things that aro wrong in the family circle will be overthrown by it, while justice and harmony will take the place. Tho hus band will be tho head of the household only when he is lit tube. I know a man who spends all the money ho makes iu drink as well ns all the money that his wife makes and sometimes sells tho children’s clothes for rum. Do you tell mo that he is to he the head of that household? If tho wife have more no bility, more conrage, more consistency, more of all that is right, she shall have the supremacy. You say that tho Bible says that the wife is to bo subject to the husband. I know it. But that is a hus band, not a masculine caricature. Thoro is no human or divine law that makes a woman subordinate to a man un worthy of her. When Christianity comes iuto a domestic circle, it will give the dominancy to that one who is the most worthy of it. As religion comes in at the front door, mirth and laughter will not go out of the back door. It will not hopple the children’s feet. John will laugh just as loud, and George will jump higher than ho ever did before. It will steal from tho little ones neither ball nor bat, nor hoop, nor kite. It will es tablish a family altar. Angels will hov er over it. Ladders of light will reach down to it. The glory of heaven will stream upon it. Tho books of remem brance will record it, and tides of ever lasting blessedness will pour from it. Not such a family altar as you may have seen, where the prayer is long and a long chapter is read, with tedious *x- planation, and the exercise keeps on until the children’s kuees are sore and their backs ache and their patience is lost and for tho seventh time they have counted all tho rungs iu tho chair, bat I mean a family altar such as may h: vs been seen in your father’s house. You may have wandered far off in the paths of sin and darkness, but you have never forgotten that family altar where father and mother knelt, importuning God fur year soul. That is a memory that a mar never gets over. There will ho a hearty joyful family altar iu every domestr circle. Yon will not have to go far to find Hannah rearing her Samuel for the temple, or a grandmother Lois instruct ing her young Timothy iu the knowl edge of Christ, or a Mary and Martha and Lazarus gathered in fraternal and sisterly affection, or a table at which Jesus sits, ns at that of Zaccheus, or a home iu which Jesus dwells, us in tho house of Simon the tanner. The religion of Jesus Christ, coming into tho domes tic circle, will overthrow all jealousies, all jaugliugs, and peace and order and holiness will take possession of the home. Again, Christianity will produce a revolution iu commercial circles. Find me 50 merchants, and you find that they have 50 standards of what is right and wrong. You say to some one about a merchant, “Is he honest?” “Oh, yes,” tho una siys, “he is honest, but he grinds tho faces of his clerks. Ho is honest, but ho exaggerates the value of his goods. Hu is honest, hut he loans money on bend and mortgage with tho understanding that the mortgage can lie quiet for ten years, but as soon as ho gets the mortgage ho records it and begins a foreclosure suit, and tho sher iff’s writ conies down, and the day of sale arrives, and away goes the home stead, and the creditor buys it iu at half price.” Honest? When ho loaned the money, ho knew that he would gei tho homestead at half price. Hcncst? But ho goes to tho insurance office to get a policy on his life and tolls tho doctor that ho is well when he knows thaU4jpr ton years be has had but one lung. Honest? Though he sells property by tho map, forgetting to tell tk? purchaser that the ground is all under water; but it is generous iu him to do that, for ho throws the water into the bargain. Standard of Uiglit und Wrong. Ah, my friends, there is but one standard of tho everlasting right and of the everlastingly wrong, and that is tho Bible, and when that principle shall get its pry under onr commercial houses I believe that oue-half of them will go over. The rnin will begin at one end of the street, and it will bo crash, crash, crash all the way down to the docks. “What is the matter? Has there been a fall in gold?” “Oh, no.” “Has there been a new tariff?” “No.” “Has there been a failure in crops?” “No.” “Hasthere been an un accountable panic?” “No.” Thisiatho secret: The Lord God has set up his throne of judgment in tho exchange. He has summoned the righteous and tho wicked to come before him. What was was 18H?? A day of judgment. What 1857? A day of judgment. What was tlie extreme depression of two years ago? A day of judgment. Do you think that God is going to wait until he has burned the world up before ho rights these wrongs? I tell yon, nay. Every day is a day of judgment The fraudulent man piles np his gains, bond above bond, United States security above United States security, emolument above emolument, until his property has become a great pyramid, and as he stands looking at it ho thinks it cah never be destroyed, but tho Lord God comes, and with his little finger pushes it all over. You build a house, and you put into it a rotteu beam. A mechanic standing by says, “It will never do to put that beam in; it will rain your whole build ing. ” But yon put it in. Tho house is completed. Soou it begius to rock. You call iu the mechanic and ask, “What is the matter with this door? What is tho matter with this wall? Everything seems to be giving ont.” Says tho mechanic, “You put a rotten beam iuto that structnre, and the whole thing has got to come down.” Here is an estate that seems to he all right now. It has been building a great many years. But 15 years ago there was a disnouest transaction in that commercial house. That one dishonest transaction will keep on working ruin iu tho whole structure until down tho estate will come iu wreck and rnin about the pos sessor’s cars—one dishonest dollar in the estate demolishing all his posses sions. 1 have seen it again and again, and so have you. Here is your money safe. The manu facturer and yourself only know how it can he opened. You have tho key. Yon touch the lock, and tho ponderous door swings buck. But let me toll you that however firmly barred and bolted your money safe may bo you cannot keep God ont. Ha will come, some day, iuto your counting room, and he will de mand: “ Where did that note of hand come from? How do yon account for this security? Where did you get that mortgage from? What does this meau?” If it is all right, God will say: “Well done, good and faithful servantx Be prospered in this world. Bo happy in the world to como. ” If it is all wrong, he will say: “Depart, yo cursed. Bo miserable for your iniquities iu this life, and then go down and spend your eternity with thieves and horse jockeys and pickpockets.” You have au old photograph of tho signs on your street. Why have those sigus nearly all changed within the last 20 years? Does tho passing away of a generation account for it? Uh, no. Docs the fact that there are hundreds of honest meu who go down every year ac count for it? Oh, uo. This is tho secret: The Lord God has been walking through the commercial streets of our great cities, and he has been adjusting thiugs according to tho principles of eternal 'ectitude. The time will come when, through iho revolutionary power of this gospel, \ falsehood instead of being called ex aggeration, equivocation or evasion will bo branded a lie, and stealings that now sometimes go under tho head of percentages and commissions and bonnses will be put into the catalogue of state prison offenses! Society will be tamed inside ont and upside down and ransacked of God’s truth until business dishonesties shall come to au end and all doable dealing, and God will over turn and overturn and overturn, and commercial men iu all cities will throw up their hands, crying out, “These that have turned the world upside dowu are come hither.” Christian Conquest. The religion of Jesus Christ will pro- t*ce a revolution iu our churches. The joucomiuittal, do nothing policy of the church of God will give way to a spirit of bravest conquest. Diety iu this day seems to me to be salted dowu just so as to keep. It seems as if the church were chiefly anxious to take cure of it self, and if we hour of want and squa lor and heathenism outside we say, “What a pity!” and we put our hnuds in our pockets, and we fuel around for a 2 cent piece, and with a great flour ish we put it upou the plate and are amazed that the world is not converted in six weeks. Knppo.ie there were a great xvar, and there were .100,000 sol diers, but nil of those <100,000 soldieraex cepting 10 men were iu their tents or scouring tbeir muskets or cooking ra tions. You would my, “Of course defeat must conic n that case. ” It is worse than that in the church. Millions of tho pro fessed sjUUcrs cf Jesus (Jhrit-t aro cook- i: ; rations or asleep in their tents, while only one man here and there goes out to do battle for the Lord. “But,” says tome cue, “wo art es tablishing a great many missions, and I think they will save the masses.” No, ! they will i.ot. Five hundred thou and , of them will net do it. They are doing a magnificent work, but every mission , chapel la a confession of the disease and weakness cf the church. It is making a dividing lino between the classes It is saying to the rich and to tho well con ditioned, “If yon can pay your pew rente, cumo to the main audience room." It is saying to the peer man: “Your coat is too Lad and your shoes are m<t good oiicugb. If you want to get to heaven, you will have to go by tho way of the mission chapel.” Tho mission chapel has become tho kitchen, where the church docs its sloppy work. There are hundreds aud thousands of churches iu this country—gorgeously built aud supported—that, even on bright and sun shiny days, are not half full of wor shipers, aud yet they aro building mis sion chapels, because by some expressed or implied regulation tho great masses cf the people are kept out cf the main audience room. Now 1 say that any place of worship which is appropriate for one class is ap propriate for ail classes. Let the rich and the poor meet together, tho Lord the maker of them all. Mind you that I say that mission chapels are a necessity, the way churches are now conducted, bat may God speed tlie ti.no when they shall cease to bo a necessity. God will rise up and break dowu the gates of the church that have kept back the masses, aud woo be to those who stand iu the way! They will be trampled under <.'oot by the vast populations making a stam pede for heaven. I saw in some paper au account of a church iu Boston in which, it is said, there were a great many plain people. Tho next week the trustees of that church came out iu the paper and said it was not so at all; “they were elegant people aud highly conditioned people that went there.” Then I laughed out right, and wheu I laugh I laugh very loudly. “Those people,” I said, “are afraid of tho sickly sentimentality of the churches.” Now, my ambition is not to preach to you so much. It seems to me that you must Le faring sumptu ously every day, and tho marks of com fort are all about you. You do not need tlie gospel half as much as do some who never como here. Bather than Lo prid ing myself on a church in front of w hi^b theio shall halt 50 splendid equipages on tho tiabhath day, I would have a church up to whose gates there should como a long procession of tho suffering, aud tho stricken, aud the dying, Leg ging for admittance. You do not need the gospel as much as they. You have good thiugs iu this life. Whatever may be your future destiny, yon have had pleasant time here. But those dying populations of which I speak, by reason of their want and sufferiug, whatever may bo their future destiny, are in per dition now, and if there be any com fort iu Christ’s go-pel, for God’s sake give it to them ! iicvclutiou! Tho pride of tho church mir.st come down. The exclusiveness of tbe church must come dowu! The finan cial boastings of the church must como down! If monetary success were the chief idea iu tho church, then I say that the present mode of conducting fiuanci . is the best. If it is to see how many dollars you can gain, then tho present mo le is the host. Br.t if it is the saving of souls from sin and death, aud bring ing tho mighty populations of our cities to tho knowledge of God, then I cry, Revolution! It is coming fast. I feel it iu tho air. I hear the rumbling of au earthquake that shall shake dowu, in one terrific crash, tho arrogance cf onr modern Christianity. The sea is covered with wrecks aud multitudes aro drowning. We como cat with the church lifeboat, and tho peo ple begin to clumber in, aud wo shunt: | “.Step, stop! You must think it costs ; nothing to keep a lifeboat. Those seats at the prow aro $1 apiece, these iu tho middle 60 cents, and those seats in tho stern 2 shillings. Please to pay up, or else flounder on u little longer till tho mission boat, whoso work it is to save you pi uuiless wretches, shall come along and pick you up. We sqve ouly first class sinners iu this boat. “ Thu talk is whether Protestant churches or Roman Catholic churches aro coming out ahead. I tell yon, Prot estants, this truth plainly, that until your churches aro as free as are tho Ro man Catholic cathedrals they will beat you. Iu their cathedrals tho millionuiro and tho beggar kueel side by side. And until that time cornea iu our churches wo cannot expect the favor of God or permanent spiritual prosperity. Revolution! It may he that before the church learns its duty to the massea God will scourge it and come with tho whip of omnipotent indignation and drive out tho money changers. It may be that there is to bs a grout day of up setting before that time shall come. If it must come, O Lord God, let it come now. Day «>f Great KovivaU. Ii that future day of tho reconstruct ed church of Christ the church building ) ♦/ill bo the most cheerful of all build- ! figs. Instead of the light of tho sun i strained through painted glass until au i intelligent auditory looks green and : blue and yellow and cupper colored we ' will have no such thiugs. Thu pure at- I mesphuro of heaven will sweep out the fetid atmosphere that has been kept in many of our churches boxed up from Sunday to Sunday. The day of which 1 speak will he u day of gn at revivals. There will bo such a time as there was Ut tho parish of Shotts, where 6U0 souls were horn to God in one day; sneb times aa were seen in this country when Edwards gave the alarm, when Tonnent pr<:du d and Whiteficld thundered and Edward Payson prayed; such times as soiu0 of you remember i:i 1857, when the voice of prayir and praise was heard iu theater, aud warehouse, and blacksmith nil op, and factory, aud en gine house, and tho auctioneer’s cry cf “a half, and a half, and a half” wao drowned out by the adjoining prayer meeting, in which the people cried out ; “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” In those days of which I am speaking tho services of the church of God will ho more spirited. Tho ministers of Christ, instead of being anxious about whether they aro going to lose their place in their notes, will get on fire with the theme aud pour the living troth of God upon au aroused auditory —crying out to the righteous, “It shall bo well with you!” aud to tho wicked: “Woe! It shall be ill with you.” Iu those days the singing will be very dif ferent from what it is now. The music will weep and wail and chant and tri umph. People then will not he afraid to open their mouths when they sing. The man with a cracked voice will risk it on “Windham” aud “Ortonville” and “Old Hundredth.” Grandfather will find the place for his grandchild iu the hymnbook.or the little child will be spec tacles for the grandfather. Hosanna will meet hosanna, and together go climbing to the throne, and tho angels will hear, aud God will listen, and the gates of heaven will hoist, and it will ho as when two seas meet—the wave of earth ly song mingling with the surging an thems of tho frep. O my God, let me live to see that day! Let there bo no power in disease or accident or wave of tho sea to disap point my expectations. Let all other sight fail my eyes ruther than that 1 should miss that vision. Let all other sounds fail my ears rather than that l sbonld fail to hear that sonnd. I want to stand on the mountain top, to catch tho first ray of the dawn and with fly ing feet bring the news. And, oh, when we hear tho clattering hoofs that bring on the king’s chariot may wo all bo ready, with arches sprung aud with hand on tho rope of the bell that is to sound tho victory and with wreaths all twisted for the way, and wheu Jesus dismounts let it be amid tho huzza, huzza of a world redeemed! Where and when will that rovolntion begin? Here aud now. In yonr heart aud mine. Sin most go down; our pride must go down; enr worldliness must go down, that Christ may come up. Revolution! “Except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Why not now let the revolu tion begin? Not next Sabbath, hut now. Not tomorrow, wheu you go ont iuto commercial circles, but now. Archius, the magistrate of Thebes, was sitting with many mighty meu, drinking wine. A messenger came iu, bringing a letter informing him of a conspiracy to end his life aud warning him to flee. Archias took the letter, but instead of opening it put it into his pucket and said to the messenger who brought it "Business tomorrow.” The next day he died. Before he opened the letter the government was captured. Wheu he read tho letter, it was too late. Today I put into tho baud of every man aud woman who hears or reads these words a message of life. It says, “To day, if yo will hear his voice, harden not your heart.” Do not put away the message and say, “This busiuesii tomor row. ” This night thy soul may be re quired of thee. How tlie Si>anlHh Defeated Napoleon. The Spanish press has been indulging iu much glib talk about how “wo de feated Napoleon” aud how “we drove the French ont of Spain.” One unac quainted with tho facts might infer that tho emperor met his Waterloo in Spain at the hands cf tho Spaniards instead of iu Belgium at the hands of the English. It is true that tho popular uprising in Spain beginning in 1808 was the inception of the popular revolution against Napoleon which ultimately spread all over Europe aud led to tho great commander's final overthow. It is not true that the Spanish defeat ed Napoleon or drove him out of Spain. Napoleon was never driven out of Spain, and his armies were not driven ont un til Wellington’s fourth successive at tempt, after live years iu the peninsula. In tho first popular revolt a Spanish army under Castanos besieged General Dupont with 20,000 men at Bay Ion, and finally starved him iuto surrender. But punishment fur this defiance of tho emperor was sodden and awful. Napo leon himse lf entered Spain in 1808, and made short work of the English and Spanish. In four days Marshal Lefevre dispersed Blake’s army aud Lanues overwhelmingly defeated Castanos at Tndela. On Dec. 2 Napoleon appeared before Madrid iu person, and on the 4th the city surrendered. The emperor forthwith abolished feudalism aud swept the hoary inquisition out of ex istence. Tho Spanish patriots were soon crushed, except for guerrilla bauds, and Sir John Moore, before the combined advance of Napoleon and Sonlt, fell hack iuto Portugal aud embarked hia troops, losing his own life iu the stub born battle of Coruna. Compelled to leave Spain by the menacing attitude of Austria, which was preparing itself for another whipping, Napoleon left Soult and Victor to preserve order in Spain. And they did for the most part until Wellington's victory ut Victoria in 1818 gave him control of the peninsula. That is the way the Spanish defeated Napoleon.—Minneapolis Journal. A BwOnenH Judge, The Kansas City J jurnal tells two or three good stories of a well known and highly respected judge, regarded as one of the ablest in Missouri. Ho believes iu convicting tho guilty and does not waste much time in vexatious delays. Some time ago ho was called to St. Louis to try a case. After hearing cvi. donee all day he adjourned the court until 8 o’clock the next morning. “Eight o’clock, your honor!” said cue of tho St. Louis attorneys. “Why, iu tlie city our judges never begin to hold court until 10 o’clock.” “Well,” said the judge, “if yon must have country judges, you must Lear with country ways. Court will meet at 8 o’clock while I am on the beueb. ” And court did. On another occasion he granted a change of venue frotn St. Louis to Cooper county. Tho defendant's conn- sol, an ex-governor, had looked up the regular terms of court in the Cooper comity circuit and found that there was no regular term for some mouths. As ho was anxious for delay tho lawyer was much surprised wheu after grant ing the cb-augo of venue tho jndge said, “I will set this case for a week from next Monday.” “But, your honor, there is no term of court iu Boonville fur several mouths.” “You aro mistaken, governor,” said tho jndge. “I live iu Boonville aud hold court at any time. Moreover, tho constitution guarantees a speedy trial, and I am sworn to support the constitu tion. ” But a speedy trial was just what the governor did not want for his client, and so he contiuned: “I can’t bo in Boonville during that month. That will be my regular vaca tion. ” “Yon bear what your lawyer says,” remarked the judge to the prisoner. “Your trial will begin at tho time stated, aud if the governor cannot be present yon would better arrange to have some one else to represent you. ” Tho trial came off as stated, aud tho lawyer was on hand.
