Bold, exhilarant, nnique, j divine imagery of the text. At the close j I of a week in which fur three days our ; ' national capital was a pageant, and ail ; that grand review and hauncred pro- j cession and national anthems could do | celebrated peace, it may not he inapt to anticipate the time when the Prince j of Peace and the Heir of Universal Do- | minion shall take possession of this na tion and “thy laud shall lie married.'' In discussing the final destiny of this I nation, it makes all the difference in ! tlio world whether wo are on the way to j a funeral fir a wedding. The Bible I leaves no doubt on this subject. In pul- j pits and on platforms and in places of i public ooneonrso I hear so many of the j imifilcd drums of evil prophet;)’sounded, as though we were on the way to na tional interment, and beside Thebes i and Babylon and Tyre in the cemetery of dead nations onr republic was to be entombed, that 1 wish yon to under stand it is not to be obsequies, hut nup tials, not mausoleum, hut carpeted al tar; not cypress, hut orange blossoms; not requiem, hut wedding march, for “thy land shall be married.” 1 propose to name some of the suiiors who are claiming tho hand of lld^ re- 1 nhlic. This land is so fair, so beauti ful, so affluent that it has many suitors, and it will depend much upon your ad vice whether this or that shali he ac cepted or rejected. In the first place. I remark’ There is a greedy, all grasping monster who comes in as suitor seeking the hnnd of tins ta public, and that tnonstf r is known by the name of mo- tiopi Iv. His sis ptev is made out of the iron of the rail track and the wire of telegraphy He d »«•« everything fur his y.vn advantage and for the robbery of the pi i pie Things went on from bad to worse until iu tho three legislatures of New York, Ni w Jersey and Pennsylvania for a long time monopoly decided every thing. If monopoly favor a law, it passes; if monopoly opposes a law it is rejectid Monopoly stands in the rail road one r asonable chavgi s ft r The Mcnuci* of MliiliNiii. He owns nothing hut a knife for uni- vir.-al entthroateiy and a nitroglycerin bomb for universal explosion. He be lieves in no (tod, no govt iJinient, no le aven and no hell except what he can make on earth! He slew the czar of Russia keeps many a king practically impn-onrd, killed Abraham Lincoln, would put to death every king and president on earth, and if he had the powci would climb up until he could drive the God of heaven from his throne and take it himself, the universal bt.teher In Franco it is called com munism; in the United States it is called anarchism; in Russia it is called nihilism, hut that last is the most kiaphic and descriptive term. It means complete and eternal smash up. It would make the holding of property a crime, and it would drive a dagger through your heart and put a torch to to your dwelling and turn ov»r this whole land into Ihe possession of theft and lust and rapine and murder. Win re does this muster live? In all the towns and cities of this land It oilers its hand to this fair republic. It proposes to tear to pieces the ballot box. the legislative hall, the congres sional assembly. It would take this land and divide it up, or rather divide it down. It would give as much to the idler as to the worker, to the had as to the good. Nihilism! This panther, hav ing prowled across other lands, has set its paw on our soil, and it is only wait ing for the time in which to spring upon its prey. It was nihilism that burned the railroad property at Pitts burg during the gieat riots; it was ni hilism tjiat slew black people in our northe rn citus during the war; it was nihilism that mauled to death the ('l)i- nese immigrants years ago; it is nihil ism that glares out of the windows of the dn nkeries upon sober people as they go by. Ah! Its power has never yet be u tested. I pray God it* power may never be fully tested.

That Herod shall not have this Abigail. It shall not lu to all devour jug monopoly that this land is to he mart h d. lege in ashes. L* t me say it is the woist enemy of the laboring classes in any country The honest cry for reform lifted by op pressed laboring men is drowned out by the vociferation for anarchy. The criminals and the vagabonds who range through our cities talking about their rights, when their first tight is the penitentiary—if they could he hushed up and the downtrodden laboring men of this country could lie heard there would lie more bread for hungry chil dren Hi this land riot and bloodshed never gained any wages for the people or gathered up any prosperity. In this land the best weapon is not the club, not the shiiiahtli, not firearms, but tho ballot Let not our oppressed laboring men be beguiled to coming under the bloody bnnm.-r of nihilism. It will make your taxes heavier, your wages smaller, your table scantier, your children hun grier your suticring greati r Yet this nihilism, with feet red of slaughter, comes forth and offers its hand for this r* public. Shall the banns be proclaimed V Amt this suitor presses ins case ap pallingly. Shall the banns of that mar riage he [u* claimed V “No!" say the home missionaries of tho w< st. a mart) r liatul of whom the world is not worthy, toiling amid fatigues and malaria and starvation. “No! not if we can help it By what we and oifr childien have suf fen d. we forbid the banns of that mar- j riage!” “No!” saj all patriotic voices, 1 “our institutions were bought at too ■ dear a price and were defended at too | great a sacrifice to ho so cheaply sur rendered." “Not” says the Go<l_of Bunker Hill and Independence hall and j Gettysburg, “I did not start this nation for such a farce.” “NoI” cry 10,000 j voices, “to infidelity this land shall not i be married!” < lirlst u* the ltrl<l(‘»roo;n. But there is another suitor that pre sents his claim for the hand of this re public. He is mentioned in the verse following my text where it says, “As the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice ever thee.” It is not my figure—it is the figure of the Bible. Chris* is so desirous to have this world love him that he stops at no hu miliation of simile. He compares his grace to spittle on the eyes of the blind man He compares himself to a ben gathering the chickens, and in my text he compare* himself to a suitor begging a hand in marriage. Does this Christ, the king, deserve this land? Behold Pi late’s hall and the insulting cxpectora- i tion on the face of Christ. Behold the j Calvarean massacre and the awful | hemorrhage of five wounds. Jacob serv- | ed 14 years for Rachel, but Christ, my Lord, the king, suffered in torture 33 years to win tho love of this world. As often princesses at their very birth are pledged in treaty of marriage to princes or kings of earth, so this nation at its birth was pledged to Christ for divino marriage. Before Columbus and his 120 men embarked on the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Nina, for their won derful voyags, what was the last thing they did? They sat down and took the holy sacranu A of the Lord Jesus Christ. After they .aught the first glimpse of this country and tho gun of one ship had announced it to the other vessels that land l ad been discovered, what was the song that went up from all tho three decks "Gloria in excelein. ” Aft er Columbus and his Piemen had step ped from the ship’s deck to the solid ground, what did they do? They all knelt and consecrated the new world to God. What did the Huguenots do after they landed in the Carolinas? What did the Holland refugees do after they had landed in New York? What did the pilgrim fathers do after they landed in New England? With bended knee and uplifted face and heaven besieging pray er, they took possession of this continent for God. How was the first American congress opened? By prayer, in the name of Jesus Christ. From its birth this nation was pledged for holy mar riage with < hrist. And then see how good God has been tons! Just open the map of the con tinent and see how it is shaped for im- measurable prosperities. Navigableriv- OOO.ffOb people.

Tbe one state of Texas far surpasses in si/.** the Germanic empire, yet the Germanic rinpire supports 41,001),LOO people. I tell yon the great want of the western j states is more population. While some people may stand at the j gates of the city, saying, “Stay hack!” ! to foreign populations, I press out as far beyond those gates as I can press , out beyond them and beckon to foreign nations, saying, “Come, come, all ye peoplo who are hune-t and industrious and God loving!” But say yon, “I am so afraid that they will bring thtir prejudices for foreign governments and plant them here.” Absurd. They are sick of the governments that have op pressed them and they want fr ica! Give them the great gospel of wel come. Throw around them all Christian hospitalities. They will add their in dustry and hard earned wages to this country, and thy* wo will dedicate all to Christ and “thy land shall be mar ried.” But where shall the marriage altar be? Let it be the Rocky moun tains, when, through artificial and mighty irrigation, all their tops shall be covered, as they will be, with vine yards and orchaids and grainth Ids. Then let the Bostons and the New Yorks and the Charlestons of the Pacific coast come to the marriage altar on one side, and then let the Bostons and the New Yorks and the Charlestons of the At lantic coast come to the marriage altar on the other side, and there between them let this bride of nations kneel, and then if the organ of the loudest thunders that ever shook the Sierra Nevadas on the one side or moved tho foundations of the AlleghaiMes on the other side should open full diapason of wedding march that organ of thunders could not drown the voice of him who would take the hand of this bride of nations, saying, “As a bridegroom re joiceth over a britfr, so thy God rejoic eth over thee.” At that marriage ban quet the platters shall be of Nevada sil ver, and the chalices of California gold, and thefruitsof northern orchaids, and the spices of southern groves, and the tapestry of American manufacture, and tlio congratulations from all the free nations of earth and from all the tri umphant armies of heaven, “And so thy land shall be married.” Opt ra 11 COURT OF CASSATION LISTENS TO DEBATE Application For Revision of puust.

Pauls, May 20.—The court o? cassa- Amer- j Lou met today to hear the debates in the application for a revision of the Dreyfus case. The doors of the palace of justice were opened at 11 o’clock. Persons con nected with the case, newspaper men and others began to arrive halt an hour previously. There was much anima tion in the lobbies of the palace, but the crowds in the vicinity were not large. Extensive precautions were taken to preserve order inside and outstye the j buildings. The colonel commanding j the guard at the palace has been given j special reinforcement, by the nnniary i governor of Paris, General Zurlimien, I and considerable forces of military and | mounted polioWtave been assembled at tiie barracks m the vicinity of t he court. The wilnessei who nave tostili-d on | the Dreyfus case were admitted by a I door on tho left of the palace and tko.-e i connected with the trial of Jim. De Rouiede and Marcel Habort, for inciting soldiers to insubordination in connec tion with th-' election ot President Lou- bet, which is also K-fore the court to day, were admitted by a door on the right of the building. Speculators about tho palace were seiling seats at points of vantage lor from 10 to 20 francs each, but the bii-:- iie-s done was not as good as during the Zola trial, when thev easily obtained 40 francs for sears. The courtroom was tilled with Parisian celebrities, the greater part of the hall having bee n re served for ti eke tiio.dei’s. Many juuges belonging to the other conus were among those present and absolute tran quility prevailed. There were about 20 laities among tho audience filling the galleries.

T Stewart in St. Mark’s churchyard, everybody was shocked, but infidelity prop .-u s something worse than that— the robbing * f all the graves of Chris tendom of the hope of a resurrection. It proposes to chisel out from the tomb stones of your Christian dead the words, “Asleep In Jesus” and substi tute the words, “Obliteration—annihi lation.” Infidelity proposes to take the letter from the world’s Father, inviting the nations to virtue and happiness and tear it up into fragments so small that you cannot read a word of it. It pro poses to take the consolation from the broken hearted and the soothing pillow from the dying Infidelity proposes to swear in the president of the United States and the supreme court and the governors of states and the witnesses in the courtroom with their right hand on ['aine’s “Age of Reason" or ’’oltaire’s Kate (’tiiiMC SfirMaae.
