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.

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?

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. For, under the
impulse and influence of the nationn'
uprising and patriotic reawakening o
the past year, we witness more tba:
ever on this anniversary of his birti
such a reunion of tbe north and th
south iu heart and in hand as his grea.
and magnanimous spirit yearned for.
“And with this uplifting of the na
tional sentiment at home we see on the
border field what his tranquil view pr<
figured in the advance ot the Eugiit- t
speaking nice and our own portion oi
it to a larger part in the commerce and
civilization of the world.”
