Washixotom, May 14.—In this aer-
mon Dr. Tahnuge glvea a gliiuyse of
what the world would be if the gospel
were abolished and tbo human race left
without divine guidance. The text i«
Acts ii, 20, “The buu bhall be turned
into darkness. ”
Christianity is the rising sun of our
time, and men have tried with the up-
rolling vapors of skepticism and the
smoke of their blasphemy to turn the
sun into darkness. Suppose the archan
gels of malice and horror should be let
loose u little while and be allowed to
extinguish and destroy the sun in the
natural heavens! They would take the
ceeans from other worlds and pour
them on the luminary of the planetary
system, and the waters go hissing down
amid the tavines and the caverns, and
there is explosion after explosion until
there are only a few peaks of lire left
in the sun, and these are cooling down
and going out until the vast continents
of flame are reduced to u small acreage
of fire, and that whitens and cools off
until there are only a few coals left,
and these arc whitening and going out
until there is not a spark left in all the
mountains of ashes and the valleys of
ashes and the chasms of ashes. An ex
tinguished suul A dead sun I A buried
snul Let all worlds wail at the stu
pendous obsequies.
Of course this withdrawal of the
solar light and heat throws our earth
into a universal chill, and the tropics
become the temperate, and the temper
ate becomes the arctic, and there are
frozen rivers and frozen lakes and fro
zen oceans. From arctic to antarctic
regious the inhabitants gather in to
ward the center and find the equator as
the poles. Tire slain ft rests are piled up
into a great bonfire, and around them
gather the shivering villages and cities.
Tiro wealth of the coal mines is hastily
injured into the furnaces and stirred
into rage of combustion, but soon the
bonfiies begin to lower, and the fur
naces begin to go out, and the nations
begin to die. Cotopaxi, Vesuvius, Etna,
Stromboli, California geysers, cease to
smoke, and the ice of hailstorms re
mains unmelted in their crater. All the
flowers have breathed their last breath.
Ships with sailors frozen at the mast,
and helmsmen frozen at the wheel, and
passengers frozen in the cabin. All na
tions dying, first at the north and then
at the south. Child frosted and dead
in the cradle. Octogenarian frosted and
dead at tbo hearth. Workmen with
frosan band on tbs baminsv and ftosan

petnal winter. Qloba of frigidity.

other ice floes. The archangels of malice
and horror have done their work, and
now they may have their thrones of
glacier and look down upon the ruin
they have wrought. What the destruc
tion of the sun in the natural heavens
would be to our physical earth the de
struction of Chrisitanity would be to
the uroral world. The sun turned into

What Atheism Wonld Do.
Infidelity in our time is considered a
great joke. There are people who re
joice to bear Christianity caricatured
and to hear Christ assailed with quib
ble and quirk and misrepresentation
and badinage and harlequinade. I pro
pose today to take infidelity and atheism
cut of the realm of jocularity into one
of tragedy and show you what infidels
propose and what, if they are success- I
fill, they will accomplish. There are
those in all our communities who wonld
like to see tire Christian religion over
thrown and who say the world wonld
he better without it. I want to show
you what is the end of this road, and
what is the terminus of this crusade,
and what this world will he when athe
ism and infidelity have triumphed over
it. if they can. I say, if they can. I re
iterate it, if they can.
In the first place, it will be the com
plete and unutterable degradation of
womanhood. I will prove it by facts
and aiguments which no honest man
will dispute. In all communities and
cities and states and nations where the
Christian religion has been dominant
woman’s condition has been ameliorat
ed and improved, and she is deferred to
and honored in a thousand things, and
every gentleman takes off his hat be
fore her. If your associations have been
good, you know that the name of wife,
mother, daughter, suggest gracious sur
roundings. You know there are no bet
ter schools and seminaries in this coun
try than the schools and seminaries for
our young ladies. You know that while
woman may suffer injustice iu England
and the United States, sire has more of
her rights in Christendom than she has
anywhere else.
Now, compare this with woman’s
condition in lauds where Christianity
has made little or no advance—in
China, in Barhary, in Borneo, iipTar
tary, in Egypt, iu Hindustan. The Bur
mese sell their wives and daughters us
so many sheep. The Hindoo Bible
makes it disgraceful and an outrage for
a woman to listen to musie or look out
of the window in the absence of her
bus) and and gives as a lawful ground
for divorce a woman’s beginning to eat
before her husband has finished bis
meal What mean those white bundles
on the ponds and rivers iu China in the
morning? Infanticide fallowing in
fanticide. Female children destroyed
simply because they are female. Wom
an harnessed to the plow as an ox.
Woman veiled and barricaded and in
all styles of cruel seclusion Her birth
a misfortune. Her life a torture. Her
death a horror. The missionary of the
cross today in heathen lands preaches
generally to two groups—a group of
men who do as they please and sit
where they please; the other group,
women hidden and carefully secluded
k iu a side .apartment, where they may
hear tlie voice of the preacher, but may
not be seen. No r« finement. No liber
ty. No hope for this life. No hope for
the life to come. Hinged nose. Crumped
foot. Disfigured face. Embrnted soul
Now, compare those two conditions.
How far toward this latter condition
that I speak of would woman go 11
Christian influences were withdrawn
and Christianity were destroyed? It is
only a question of dynamics. If an ob
ject be lifted to a certaia point and not
fastened there and the lifting power he
withdrawn, bow long before that object
will fall down to the point from which
it started? It will fail down, and it
will go still farther than the point from
which it started. Christianity has lifted
woman up from the very depths of
degradation almost to the skies. If that
lifting power bo withdrawn, she fulls
clear buck to thu depth from which she
was resurrected, not going any lower,
becauB-e there is no lower depth, and
yet notwithstanding the fact that the
only salvation of woman from degrada
tion and woe is the Christian religion
—and the only influence that has ever
lifted her iu the social scales is Chris
tianity—I have read that there are
women who reject Christianity. I make
no remark in regard to those persons.
In the silence of your own soul make
your observations.
Demoralisation of Boeletr-
If infidelity triumph and Christiani
ty he overthrown, it means the demor
alization of society. The one idea in
the Bible that atheists and infidels
most hate is the idea of retribution.
Take away the idea of retribution and
punishment from society, and it will
begin very soon to disintegrate, and
take away from the minds of men the
fear of hell, and there are a great many
of them who would very soon turn this
world into a hell. The mujoirty of those
who are indignant against the Bible
because of the idea of punishment are
men whose lives are bad or whose
hearts are impure and who hate the
Bible because of the idea of future pun
ishment, for the same reason that crim
inals hate the penitentiary. Oh, I have
heard this brave talk about people fear
ing nothing of the consequences of sin
in the neat world, and I have made up
my mind it is merely a coward's whis
tling to keep bis courage up. I have
seen men flaunt their immoralities in
the face of the community, and 1 have
beard them defy the judgment day and
scoff at the idea of any further conse
quence of their sin, but when they
came to die they shrieked until you
could hear them for nearly two blocks,
and in the summer night the neighbors
got up to put the windows down, be
cause they could not endure the horror.
I would not want to see a rail train
with 500 Christian people on hoard
go down through a drawbridge into a
watery grave; I would not want to see
500 Christian people go into such disas
ter, but I tell you plainly that I could
more easily see that than l could for any
protracted time stand and see an infidel
die, though his pillow were of eider
down and under a canopy of veru ilion.
I have never been able to brace up my
nerves for such a spectacle. There is
something at such a time so indescriba
ble in the countenance. I just looked in
upon it for a minute or two, hut the
otatnk of his fist was so diabolic and
tk# stfscjgth of Ms votes wee so unuet-
•sel I #o*14 not smlos* it. “TbM# is
ns hall, there la bo ball* there is no
belli" the man had said for 00 years,
but that night when I looked In the
dying room of my infidel neighbor
theie was something on bis countenance
which soemed to say, “There is, there
is, there is, there isl"
The mightiest restraints today against
theft, against immorality, against lib
ertinism, against crime of all sorts—the
mightiest restraints are the retributions
of eternity. Men know that they can
escape thu law, bat down in the offend
ers’ soul there is the realization of the
fact that they cannot escape God. He
stands at the end of the road of prof
ligacy. and he will not clear the guilty.
Take all idea of retribution and punish
ment out of the hearts and minds of
men, and it would not be long before
our cities would become Sodouis. The
only restraints against the evil passions
of the world today are Bible restraints.
Suppose now these generals of atheism
and infidelity got the victory and sup
pose they marshaled a great army
made up of the majority of the world.
They are in companies, in regiments,
in brigades—the whole army. Forward,
march! ye hosts of infidelsand-atbeists,
banners fiying before, banners flying
behind, banners inscribed with the
words: “No God! NoCbristl NoPun-

Forward, march 1 ye great army of
Infidels and atheists. And first of all
pou will attack the churches. Away
with those houses of worship 1 They
have been standing tbsro so long delud
ing the people with consolation in their
bereavements and sorrows. All those
ihurches ought to be extirpated; they
have done so much to relieve the lost
and bring home the wandering, and
they have so long held up the idea of
eternal rest after the paroxysm of this
life is over. Turn the 8t. Peters and
St. Pauls and the temples and taber
nacles into clubhouses. Away with
those churches 1
Forward, march 1 ye great army of
infidels and atheists, and next of all
they scatter the Habbatb schools filled
with blight eyed, rosy cheeked little
ones who are singing songs on Sunday
afternoon and getting instruction when
they ought to be on the street corners
playing marbles or swearing on the
commons. Away with them I Forward,
march' re ureal army of infidels and
atheists, and next of all they will attack
Christian asylums—the institutions ol
mercy supported by Christian philan
thropies. Never mind the blind eyes,
and the deaf ears, and the crippled
limbs, and thu darkened intellects. Let
paralyzed old age pick up Its own foot!,
and orphans fight their own way, and
the half reformed go hack to thejr evil
habits. Forward, march! ye great army
of infidels and atheists, and with your
battleaxes hew down the cross and
split up the manger of Bethlehem.
On, ye great army of infidels and
atheists, and now they come to the
graveyards ami the cemeteries of the
earth. Pull down the sculpture above
Greenwood’s gate, for it means the res
urrection. Tear away at the entrance
of Lunrel Hill the figure of Old Mortal
ity and the chisel. On, ye great army of
infidels and atheists, into the grave
yards and cemeteries, and where you
see, “Asleep In Jesus," cut it away,
and where yon find a marble story of
heaven, blast it, and when you find
over a little child’s grave, “Huffer little
children to come unto me," substitute
the words “delusion" and “sham," and
where you find an angel in marble,
strike off the wing, and when you come
to a family vault, chisel on the door,
“Dead olice, dead forever."
But on, ye great army of infidels and
atheists, on! They will attempt to scale
heaven. There are heights to be taken.
Pile billon bill, and Pelion upon Ossa,
and then they hoist the ladders against
the walls of heaven. On and on until
they blow up the foundations of jasper
and the gates of pearl. They charge up
the steep. Now they aim for tiie throne
of him who liveth forever and ever.
They would take down from their high
place the Father, the 8un, the Holy
Ghost. “Djwii with them!" they ray.
“Down with them from the throne!”
they say. “Down forever I Down out
of sight 1 He is not God. He has no
right to sit there. Down with him!
Down with Christ!"

A world without a head, a universe
without a king. Orphan constellations.
Fatherless galaxies. Anarchy supreme.
A dethroned Jehovah. An assassinated
God. Patricide, regicide, deicide. That
is what they mean. That is what they
will have, if they can. I say, if they
can. Civilization hurled back into
semibarbarism, and semi barbarism
driven back into Hottentot savagery.
The wheel of progress turned the other
way and turned toward the dark ages.
The clock of the centuries put back
2,000 years. Go back, you Sandwich
Islands, from your schools, and from
your colleges, and from your reformed
condition, to what you were in 1H20,
when the missionaries first came. Cull
home the 500 missionaries from India
and overthrow their 2,000 schools,
where they are trying to educate the
heathen, and scatter the 140,000 little
children that they have gathered out
of barbarism into civilization. Obliter
ate all the work of Dr. Duff in India,
of David Abed in China, of Dr. King
in Greece, of Judson in Burma, of
David Bruinerd amid the American
aborigines, and send heme the 3,000
missionaries of the cross who are toil
ing in foreign lands, toiling for Christ’s
sake, toiling themselves Into the grave.
Tell these 3,000 men of God that they
are of u<* use. Send home the medical
missionaries who are doctoring the
bodies as well us the souls of the dying
nations. Go home, London Missionary
society! Go home, American board of
foreign missions 1 Go home, ye Mora
vians, and relinquish hack into darkness
and squalor and death the nations
whom ye have begun to lift.
Oh, my friends, there has never been
such a nefarious plot on earth us that
which infidelity and atheism have plan
ned. We were shocked a few years ago
been use of the attempt to blow up the
parliament houses in London, but if in
fidelity and atheism succeed in their at
tempt they will dynamite a world. Let
them have their full way, and this
world will he a habitation of three
rooms—a habitation with just three
rooms; the one a madhouse, another a

And iu the former, atheists and infidels

himself will laugh and mock. He says
so. “I will laugh ut their calamity and

From such a chasm of individual, na

Oh, young men, stand back from that
chasm! You ses the practical drift cf

that road leads. Mtund buck from that

hut it will come, just ns certainly ns
there is a God, it will come) when the
infidels and the atheists who openly
and out and out and aboveboard preach
and practice infidelity and atheism,
will be considered as criminals against
society, as they are now criminals
against God. Society will push out the
leper, and the wretch with soul gan

be denied decent burial, and men will
come with spades and cover up the car

{ osephus says shout the time of the
estructiou of Jerusalem the sun was
turned Into darkness, but only the
clouds rolled between the sun and the
earth. The sun went right ou. It is thu
same sun, the same luminary, us when
at the beginning it shot out like an
electric Kpark from God’s finger, and
today-it is warming the nations, and
today it is gilding the sea, and today it
is filling the earth with its light. The
same old sun, not ut all worn out,
though its light steps one hundred and
ninety million miles it second, though
its pulsations are four hundred and fifty
trillion undulations in a second. The
same sun with beautiful white light
mude up of the violet, and the* indigo,
and the blue, and the green, and thu
red, and the yellow, and the orange —
the seven beautiful colors, now just as
when the solar spectrum first divided
them.
At the beginning God said, “Let
there be light," and light was, and
light is, and light shall be. So Chris
tianity is rolling on, and it is going to
warm all nations, and all nations are
to bask iu its light. Men may shut the
window blinds so they cannot see it, or
they may smoke the pipe of spocnlutfon
until they are shadowed under their
own vajiorlug, but the Lord God is u
sun! This white light of the gospel
made up of all the beautiful colors of
eurfb and heaven—violet plucked from
amid the spring grass, and the indigo
of the southern jungles, and the blue of
the skies, and the green of the foliage,
and the yellow of the autumnal wocjs,
and the orange of the southern groves,
and the red of thu sunsets. All the
beauties of earth and heaven brought
out by this spiritual spectrum. Great
Britain is going to taku all Europe for

take America for God. Both of them
together will take all Asia for God. All
three of them will take Africa for God.

A NOVEL CIGAR HOLDER.
Cutitiilii Wit it tsmil Po»bCSM*nOm» Murte
Kroni it l.oliMter'n 1 Intv.
There is a novelty in the shape of a
cigar bolder which is being introduced
into Kansas City. It is distinctly Eng
lish and decidedly uncanny. The holder
is made of the inside daw of thu left
fin of the deep sea lobster.
Captain Maitland of the zoo lias one
of the cigar holders, and he has present
ed several others to his friends. As one
would naturally expect from the cap
tain, who has many interesting curios
about his person, his possessions are
very much out of thu ordinary. He se
cured his lobster fin cigar bolder some
time ago wbilo on the Atlantic coast.
He was In u market place one day and
noticed a very line specimen of lobster.
The captain is an Englishman, and,
having seen and used many of the
unique holders, decided that the claw
of this lobster wonld make a very fine
holder for his Havana. He purchased
the lobster and cut off the claw and put
it in his trunk. A few weeks ago, struck
with the novelty of the thing in a city
where even the lobster is not common,
to say nothing of the trinkets made
from the shell, he got out the shell and
polished it. up. It makes an ideal cigar
holder. It is about two inches in length,
and one side of it is serrated. When it
is first used, it is a bright red, the color
of a boiled lobster. As the smoko and
nicotine penetrate the soft shell it grad
ually turns black as ebony. At first the
color begins in spots and then spreads
entirely over the entire bolder, with the
exception of the teeth, which still retain
their vermilion hue.
In England, where the lobster shell
is much need in the manufacture of
trinkets, the cignr holder madu of the
claw is very common. It is, however,
only about one lobster In 50 that is
available for this use. The jeweler takes
the holder In the rough and polishes it.
He puts an amber tip on it and a silver
or gold band ou thu large end, and it
sells easily. It much resembles a meer
schaum, and people who have used
these holders for long periods of time
say that they get to like the taste jt
the lobster holder us much as thu cigar
itself.
The captain was presented a few
days ago with the left paw of a mon
key, which was formerly the property
of little Edna, who belonged to Bert
Scott of the Capital saloon. Mr. Scott
was the advance agent of Cole’s, Mid
dleton’s and Lumen Bros.’ circuses.
The paw has become mummified, and
gold bands have been placed around it.
It is intended for a watch charm and
will hereafter be displayed upon the
vest ut the captain.—Kansas City
