In mi Kloitnent Seriiu.n Me Depict* the Drunknnl’N Woe — The Mum I'leml’s Mission Is to Destroy All Good—A Call to Chrl.tl luns. [Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1899.] Washington, April At this time, when the evils of tho drink traffic are being widely discussed and the movement for the abolition of the de grading and brutalizing canteen in our military camps is gaining many sup porters, this sermon by Dr. Talmage, dealing with tho broader aspects of the plague of intemperance, should cheer and inspire the friends < f temperance everywhere. His text is Exodus xi, 0, “And there shall he a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt.” This was the worst of the ten plagues. The destroying angel at midnight Hap ped his wing over the land, and there was one dead in each house. Lamenta tion and mourning and woe through all Egypt. That destroying angel has lied the earth, but a far worse has come. He sweeps through these cities. It is the destroying angel of strong drink. Far worse devastation wrought by this second than by the first. The calamity in America worse than the calamity in Egpyt. Thonsandsof the slain, millions of the slain. No arithmetic cun calcu late their number. Once upon a time four fiends met in the lost world. They resolved that the people of our earth were too happy, and these four infernnls came forth to our earth on embassy of mischief. The one fiend said, “I’ll take charge of the vineyards.” Another said, “I’ll take charge of the grainfields.” Another said, “I’ll take charge of the dairy.” Another said, “I’ll take charge of the music.” The four fiends met in the great Sahara desert, with skeleton fin gers clutched each other in handshake of fidelity, kissed each ether goodby with lip of blue finma and parted on their mission. The fiend of the vineyard came in one bright morning amid the grapes and sat down on a root of twisted grapevine in sheer discouragement. The fiend knew not how to damage the vineyard, or, through it, how to damage the world. The grapes were so ripe and beautiful and luscious. They bewitched the air with their sweetness. There seemed to be so much health in every bunch, and while tho fiend sat there in utter indig nation and disappointment he clutched a cluster and squeezed it in perfect spite, and, lo! his hand was red with Hie blood of the vineyard, and the fiend said: “That reminds me of the blood of broken hearts. I’ll strip file vineyard, and I’ll squeeze out all the juice of the grapes, and I’ll allow tho juices of the grapes to stand until they rot, and I’ll call tho process fermentation.” And there was u great vat prepared, and people camo with their cups and their pitchers, and they dipped up the blood of the grapes, and they drank and drank and went away drinking,and they drank until they fell in long lines of death, so that vdien the fiend of the vineyard wanted to return to his home in the pit he stepped from carcass to carcass and walked down amid a great causeway of the dead. LanKhter «»f Hie Fie ml. Then tho second fiend came into tho grainfield. He waded chin deep amid the barley and the rye. He heard all the grain talking about bread and prosper ous husbandry and thrifty homes. He thrust his lung arms into the grainfield, and he pulled up the grain and threw it into the water, and lie made beneath it great fires—tires lighted with a spark from his own heart—and there were a grinding and a mushi! g and n st* uch, and the people came with their Lotties, I and they dipped up tb : fiery liquid, and they drank, and they blasphemed, and they staggered, and they fought, and they rioted, and they murdered, and the fiend of the pit, the fiend of the grainfield, was to pleased with their be- navior that he changed bis residence from the pit to a whisky barrel, and there be sat by the doer of the buugbolo laughing in high merriment at the thought that out of anything so harm less as the grain of the field ho might turn this world into a seeming pande monium. The fiend of the dairy saw the cow# coming homo from tho pasture field, full nddered, and as the maid milked he said, “I’ll soon spoil all that mess; I’ll add to it brandy, sugar and nut meg, and I’ll stii it into a milk punch, find children will drink it and some of the temperance people will drink it, and if I can do them no more harm I’ll give them a headache, and then I’ll hand them over to the mere vigorous fiends of the satanic delegation.” And then the fiend of the dairy leaped upon the shelf and danced until the long row of shining inilkpans almost quaked. The fiend of the music entered a grogshop, and thero were but few cus tomers. Finding few customers, he swept the circuit of the city, and he gathered up the musical instruments and after nightfall ho marshaled a band, and the trombones blew an * the cymbals clapped and tho drums beat and the bugles called and the people crowded in, and they swung around in merry dance, e«."h one with a wineglass in his hand, and the dance became wilder and stronger and rougher, until the room shook and tho glasses cracked and the floor broke and the crowd drop ped into hell. Then the four fiends—the fiend of the vineyard and of the grainfield and of the dairy and of the music hall—went back to their home, and they held high carnival because their work had been so well done, and nutiin Fuse from his tiirone and announced that Hi re was no danger of the earth’s redeuiptioiJ so long as these four fiends could pay such tax to the diabolic. And then all the demons and all tho sprites and all the fiends filled their glasses and clicked them and cried; “Let us drh.k —drink to the everlasting prosperity of the liq uor traffic I Here’s to woe and darkness and murder and death! Drink! Diinkl” Tli«- I'lilK'iM* of Drink. But whether by allegory or by ap palling stutihtic this subject is present ed you know as well as 1 that it in im possible to exaggerate the evils of strong drink. A plague) A phigue! In the first place the inebriate iuIIus from il;e 1( s« of u good name. God has so arranged it that no man loses his reputation c:;<ept , by his own act. The world uu-y iiskbiU | n man, and all the powers of d; rkne-s mar unsuuit him—tLev cannot cunture mm so long us his h: art is pure and Dm life is ]me. All fbe powers of earth and hell cannot take that Gibraltar. If a mnn is right, all tho bombardment of the world for 5, 10, '20, 40, years will only stri ngtlu :i him in his pof-ition. So that all you have to do is to keep your self right. Never mind the world. Let it say what it will. Jt can do yon no damage. But as soon as it is whispered, “He drinks,” and it can be proved, bo begins to go down. What clerk can get a position with such a reputation? What store wants him? What church of God wants him for a member? What dying man wants him for an executor? “He drinks!” 1 stand before hundreds of young men—and I say it not in flat tery—splendid young men who have their reputation as their only capital. Your father gave you a good education, or as good an education as he could afford to give you. He started you in city life. He could furnish you no means, but he has surrounded you with Christian influences and a good memory of the past. Now, young man, under God yon are with your own right arm to achieve your fortune, and as your reputation is your only capital do not bring upon it suspicion by going in and out of liquor establishments or by an odor of your breath or by any glai'e of your eye or by any unnatural flush on your cheeks. You lose your reputation and you lose your capital. The Inebriate*# I)eRra«1atlon. The inebriate suffers also in the fact that lie loses his self respect, and when you destroy a man’s self respect there is not much left of him. Then a man will do things he would not do other wise, he will say things he would not say otherwise. The fact is, that man cannot stop or he would stop now. He is bound hand and foot by the Philis tines, and they have shorn his locks and put Ins eyes out and made him grind in the mill of a great horror. After he is three-fourths gone in this slavery the first thing he will be anxious to impress you with is that he can stop at any time he wants to. His family become alarmed in regard to him, and they say: “Now, do stop this. After awhile it will get the mastery of you.” “Oh, no!” he says. “I can stop at any time. I can step now. I c: n stop tomorrow.” His most confidential friends say: “Why, I’m afraid you are losing your balance with that habit. You are going n little further than you can afford to go. You had better stop.” “Oh, no!” he says. ”1 can stop at anytime. I can stop now.” He goes on further and fur- tier. He cannot stop. I will prove it. He loves himself, and he knows never theless that strong drink is depleting him in body, mind and soul. He knows he is going down; that he has less sell control, less equipoise of temper, than he used to. Why does he not stop? Because he cannot stop. 1 will prove it by going still farther. He loves his wife and children. He sees that his habits are bringing disgrace upon his home. The probabilities are they will ruin his wife ami disgrace his children. He sees all this, and ho loves them. Why does he not stop? He cannot stop. 1 had a very dear friend, generous to a fault. He had given thousands and tens of thousands of dollars to Bible so cieties, triu t societies, missionary soci eties, asylums for the poor, tho halt, the Lime, the blind, the imbecile. I do not believe for 2U years anybody asked him i jr a dollar, or flOO for char ily but he gave it. I never beard of anybody asking him for help but lie gave it. But hewasunder the power of strong drink, and he went on down, down, down. His family implored him, saying: “You are going too far in that habit. You had better stop. ” Ho re plied: “I can stop any time. I am my own master. I can stop. ” Ho went on down, down. His friends advised and cautioned him. He said: “Don’t be afraid of me. I am my own master. I can stop now. 1 know what I am do ing. ” He went on down until be had the delirium tremens. On down until he had the delirium tremens twice. Aft er the second time the doctor said : “If you ever have an attack like this again, you will die. Yon had better stop. ” He said: “I cun stop any time. I can stop now.” lie went on down. He is dead. What slew him? Rum, rum! Amoijg the last things he said was that ho could stop any time. He could not stop. !-<»«« <-r of l!u* Hum DniKOii. Olj, my young friends, I want to tell you that there is a point in inebriation beyond which if a man go he cannot stop! But sometimes a man will bo more frank than that. A victim of strong drink said to a reformer: “It is impos sible for me to stop. I realize it. But if you should tell me I couldn’t have a drink until tomorrow night unless l had all my fingers cut off, I would say, ‘Bring the hatchet and cut them off.’ ” I had a very dear friend in Philadelphia whose nephew came to him and was talking about his trouble and confessed it. He confessed he could not stop. My friend said, “You must stop. ” He said: “I can’t stop, if there stood a cannon, and it was loaded, and there was a glni-s of wine on the mouth of the can non, and I knew you would fire if off if I approached, I would start to get that glass of wine. I must have it. I can’t get rid of this habit. I can’t get away from it.” Oh, it is awful for a man to wake up and feel that he isa captive! I hear him soliloquizing, saying; “I might have stopped three months ago, but I can’t stop now. Dead, but not buried; I uni a walking corpse. I am an apparition of what I once was. 1 am a caged immortal and my sonl beats against the wires of my cage on this side and lusts against the wires of my cage on the other side until there is blood on the wires and blood on the soul, but 1 can’t get out. Destroyed without remedy!” Again, the man suffers from the lors of usefulness. Do you know some of tho mi u who have fallen into tho ditch P’ereonce in the front rank in churches and in the front rank in reformatory institutions? Do you know they once knelt at the family altar and once car ried the chalice of the holy communion on sacraimntul days? Do you know they once stood in the pulpit and preach ed the gospel of the Mon of God? We will not forgot the scene witne-sud some years ago in my Brooklyn ehun h when a man rose in theuiid.-tof the audience, stopped into tin.* aisle and walked up and down. Ev< rybody saw that he was intoxicated. Tho u. hers led him out, and his poor wife took his hat and over coat and followed him to the door. Who was he? He had once b. on a mighty mini Li r of the gospel of .)>. is ( lu ist in a id ttr denomination, had often preached in this very city. What slew him? Hirong drink! OUT what must bo i the feeling of a man who baa deHtrovcd ms capacity tor usetuinesBi uo inn tn align with that man. Do but lose your ] alienee with him. Do not wonder if be says stiange things and gets irritated easily* in the family. He has the Pyre nees and tliw Andes and the Alp * on him. Do not try to pn -nade him that there h no future j miishmeiit. Do not. go in to any argument to prove to him that tin re is no hell. He knows there is. lie is there now! Itorrorn «:f AU-oIioIIhiii. But he suffers also in the loss of phys ical health. The older p ople in tiiis au dience can remember Dr. Sewell going through this country electrifying great audiences by demonstrating to them the effect of strong drink upon the hu man stomach. 1 am told ho had eight or ten diagrams which he presented to the people, showing the different stages in the progress of the disease, and I am told tens of thousands of people turned back from that ulcerous sketch and swore eternal abstinence from all intox icants. G id only knows what the drunkard suffers. Pain files on every nerve and travels every muscle and gnaws on every bone and stings with every poison and pulls with every tor- ture. What reptiles crawl over his shiv ering limbs 1 What specters stand by his midnight pillows! What groans tear the air! Talk of the rack, talk of the funeral pyre, talk of the Juggernaut— he suffers them all at once. See the attendants stand back from that ward in the hospital where the in ebriates are dying. They cannot stand it. Tho keepers come through it and say: “Hush up, now! Stop making this noise! Be still! You are disturbing all the other patients. Keep still now*!” Then the keepers pass on, and after they get past then the poor creatures wring their hands and say: “OGod! Help, help! Give me rum, give me rum! OGod! Help! Take the devils off of me! O God! O God!” And they s hriek and they blaspheme and they cry for help and then they ask the keepers to slay them, saying: “Stab me, stran gle me, smother me! O God! Help, help! Rmn! Give me rum! OGod! Help!” They tear out their hair by the handful, and they bite their nails into the quick. This is no fancy picture. It is transpiring in a hospital at this mo ment. It went on last night while you slept, and, more than that, that is the death some of you will die unless yon stop. I see it coming. God help you to stop before you go so far that you can not stop. DcNpoiler of Hnnicrt. But it plagues a man also in the loss of home. I do not care how uineli he love., hia wife and children, if this habit gets the mastery over him he will do the most outrageous things. If need be, in oid< r to get strong drink he would sell them all into everlasting captivity. There are hundreds and thousands of homes that have been utterly blasted of.it. I am speaking of no abstraction. Is there anything so disastrous to a man for this life and for the life to come? Do you tell mo that u man can be happy when he knows he is breaking his wife’s heart and clothing his chil dren with rags? There are little chil dren in the streets today, barefooted, unkempt, uncombed, want written on every patch of their faded dress and on every wrinkle of their prematurely old countenance, who would have been in the house of God this morning as well clad as you had it not been that strong drink d^pe their parents down into penury and then down into the grave. Oil, mm, rum, thou despoiler of homes, thou foe of God, thou recruiting officer of the pit, I hate thee! But my subject takes a deeper tone when it tells you that the inebriate suf fers the loss of the soul. The Bible in timates that if we go into the future world unforgiven the appetites and pas sions which were regnant here will tor ment us there. I suppose when tho ine briate wakes up in the lost world there will be an infinite thirst clawing upon him. In this world he could get strong drink. However poor he was in this world, he could beg or he could steal 5 cents to get a drink that would for a little while slake his thirst, but in eter nity v,-here will tho rum come from? Dives wanted one drop of water, but could not get jt. Where will the inebri ate get the dwft ho so much requires, so much demands? No one to brew it. No one to mix it. No one to pour it. No one to fetch it. Millions of worlds now for tho dregs that were thrown on the sawdusted floor of the restaurant. Millions of worlds now for the rind flung out from tho punch bowl of an earthly banquet. Dives called for water. The inebriate calls for rum. Look Not l lion the Wine. If a fiend from the lost world should come up on a mission to a grogshop and, having finished the mission in the trrotrhlioi), should come back, taking on the tip of his wing one drop of alcoholic beverage, what excitement it would make all through the world of the lost, and, if that one drop of alcoholic hover age should drop from tho wing, of tho fiend upon the tongue of the inebriate, liow lie would spring up and cry; “That’s it! That’s it! Rum! Rum! That’s it!” And all the caverns of the lost would echo with tho cry: “Give it tome! Hum! Rum!” Ah, my friends, the inebriate’s sorrow in the next world will not be the absence of God or holi ness or light; it will he the absence of rum. “Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it moveth itself aright in the cup, for at th" last it biteth like a serpent, and it stingetb like an ad der.” When 1 see this plague in the land, and when 1 see this destroying angel sweeping across onr great cities, X am Homi tinicN indignant and sometimes hu miliated. When a man asks me, “What are yi u in favor of for tho subjugation of this evil?” I answer, “I am ready fi»r anything that is reasonable. ” You ask me, “Are yon in favor of Mon.i of Temperance?" Yes. “Are you in favor of good .Samaritans?” Yes. “Are you in favor of Good Templars?” Yea. “Are yon in favor of prohibitory law?” Yea. “Are you fit favor of the pledge?” Yes. Com! i>i«' all the influences, O Christian reformers ni.d philanthropists! Com bine them all for the extirpation of this evil. Tiilrst May lie QuenelMMl. Thii iy wojik n in one of tho western stales banded together and with an especial mfiinatioii from God they went forth to tho work anil shut up all the grogshops of a large village.

But I must not dwell on generalities; I must come to specifies. Are yon astray? If there is any sermon I dis like, it is a Rernnn on generalities. I want personalties. Are you astray? Have you gone so far you think you can not get buck? Did I say a few moments ago that a man might go to a point in inebriation where he could not stop? Yes, i said it, and ] reiterate it. But I want you also to understand that while tho man himself, of his own strength, cannot stop, God can stop any man. Yon have only to lay hold of the strong arm of the Lord God Almighty. He can stop yon. Many summers ago I went over to New York one Mabhath even ing—our church not yet being open for the autumnal services. I went into a room in the Fourth ward, New York, where a religions service was being held for reformed drunkards, and I heard a revelation that night that I had never heard before—15 or 20 men stand ing up and giving testimony such as I had never heard given. They not only testified that their hearts had been changed by the grace of God, but that the grace of God had extinguished their thirst. They went on to say that they had reformed at different times before, but immediately fallen, because they were doing the whole work in their own strength. “But as soon as we gave our hearts to God,” they said, “and the love of the Lord Jesus Christ has come into our soul the thirst has all gone. We have no more disposition for strong drink. ” NVarnlfiK to Drunknriln. It was a new revelation to me, and I have proclaimed it again and again in the hearing of those who have far gone astray and I stand here today to tell you that the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ cannot only save your soul, but save your body. I look off today upon the desolation. Some of you are so far on in this habit, although there may be no outward indications of it—yon never have staggered along the street— the vast majority of people do not know that you stimulate, but God knows, and you know, and by human calcula tion there is not one chance out of five thousand that you will ever be stopped. Beware! There are some of yon who are my warm personal friends to whom I must say that unless you quit this evil habit within ten years, as to your body, you will lie down in a drunkard’s grave and, as to your immortal soul, you will lie down in a drunkard’s hell! It is a hard thing to say, but it is true, and I utter the warning lest I have your blood upon my soul. Beware! As today you open the door of your wine closet lot the decanter flash that word upon your soul, “Beware!” As yon pour out tho beverage let the foam at the top spell out the word, “Beware!” In the great day of God’s judgment, when a hundred million drunkards shall come np to get their doom, I want you to testify that this day, in love of your soul and in fear of God, I gave yon warning in regard to that influence which has already been felt in your home, blowing out s( mo of its lights— premonition of the blackness of dark ness forever.. Oh, if yon conld only hear intemper ance with drunkards’ bones drumming on the top of the wine cask the “Dead March” of immortal souls, you would go home and kneel down and pray God that rather than your children should ever become the victims of this evil habit you might carry them out to the cemetery and put them down in the last slumber, waiting for the flowers of sining to come over the grave—sweet prophecies of the resurrection! God hath a balm for such a wound, but what flower of comfort ever grew on the blasted heath of a drunkard’s sepulcher? WnltlnK For Fnita to Deelde.

IMMENSE CROV/D ON HAND Miss l{().iO Surtoti* Looarii# Folds of White Clolli Hiding the Splendid M< mortal From I’ubllc GnZo mid Im pressive Orriuouies Follow. Phii.adklpiiia, April 27.—The final details of the ceremonies incident to the unveiling of the Grant statue m Fair- niont park this afternoon weie com pleted last niuht and this morning every thing was in readiness for the moment when Miss Rose Maria Sartoris, grand daughter ot the dead hero, loosens the folds of snow-white cloth which now bides the statue from public gaze. This morning broke cloudy and raw and gave every indication of giving way to steady rain. In a few hours the clonds lifted and the sun shoito bright and warm. Long before noon tho tide of travel began to move towardstbecentral point of interest, thy broad and picturesque park river drive, which the statue over looks, and several hours before the care- monies began every point of vantage was taken and the crowds streteln l along the river drive into the heart . the city a'ong tho route which the mili tary march* I. In the bands of nearly every person was carried * small American flag and throughout he city, homes and places of business flung the stars and stripes to the breeze. During the morning the cruiser Raleigh rivalled the statue as the ob jective point of interest. Crowds thronged the docks along the river front, or added to tbe wealth of Loat- men and ferry companies, in their de sire io get a good glimpse at tbe dull leaden color tnd shining brass works of tins famous igkier. The trim-looking crufi-er was decorated in honor ot the occasion and a tow visitors were per mitted to go aboard at intervals Late this afternoon the statue was formally unveiled with impressive e? erefisos. Pre> dent McKinley and severu. members of us cabinet attended the ceremonv. Tho Grant monument as it now stands is exactly tne same siz* as the one in Union Square, New York. It was designed by Daniel Chester Franck and Edward C. Potter, both American artists. The former modeled the figure of General Grant and tbe latter the horse. Tuey have endeavored to depict the hero iu the posiiion of a dignified and quietly imposing “silent man on horseback” and in so doing have de parted entirely from the conventions There is an absence of the dramatic ac tion shown in tho prancing steed and tho waving sword. Instead tho general rides his horse deep in thought. Iu expression uud feature the face is indicative of a strong though latent, modest personality. He i-; clad in a field garb, w'ith high cavalry boots, close uittoued coat, and a loop cape or coat fall# in folds over the horse The latter stands firmly on his four feet, with head turned slightly to one side. Tho whole ar.pect of the statue is one of restrained strength. Tho idea was conceived by the Fair mont Park Art association and the work is presented by that body to the city to be placed in the park. Th height of the statne irom tho bottom < the plinth to the ton of tho rider’s ha is 15 feet 1 inch. The total weight Is five tons. "he pedestal is built of Jonesboro granite and tbe total cost was $52,675 55. GALENA FOLK CELEBRATE. Anniversary of Grant’s Birth Observed With Appropriate Exercises. Galena, Ills., April 27.—For the sev enth time in as many years, citizens of Galena today paid tribute to the mem ory of General U S. Grant, with exer cises in commemoration of the anniver sary of his birthday. The celebration surpassed any similar event under tho auspices of the Grant Day association. Tho orator of the day was Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith, who ar rived over the Illinois Central from Chi cago at 1 o’clock, accompanied by a large delegation of Chicago citizens. Mr. Smith said in conclusion: “Looking down tbo vista of timo from the serouc elevation, his conscious place on the borderliue of earth and eteruity, lifted above all the passions of the hour, with bis work done and his fame secure, General Grant saw and said that our country was entering on a new era. “Yes, on a new era of unity and progress and power.
