Dr. TlilnuiRo HoNcrihcM I lie I>uiik»tb nnd Temptatlona That SnrrOund Him—Ail« n u t ntic, of l.arl}' ChriM- tian TrnlnlnH. Washington, Oct. 14.—Dr. Tulninge staid in London to occupy the famous Wesley pulpit In the City Hoad chapel, where he preached several times be fore, always receiving hearty welcome. Thence he went to Ireland, preaching in Belfast and Dublin. The discourse he has sent this week describes the be havior of a young man away from home and suggests practical lessons for people of every age and class. The text is Daniel 1, 5, "And the king ap pointed them a daily provision of the king’s meat and of the wine which he drank, so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king.” My text opens the door of a college in Babylon and introduces you to a young student 17 years of age, Daniel by name. Be not surprised if in the col lege you find many hilarities. But a hundred young men together, and they are sure to have a good time. There is no harm in that. God does not write out the trees, and the grass, and the blossoms, in dull prose. The old robin does not sit moping in the nest because of the chirpings and the lively adven tures of the fledgelings that have just begun to fiy. Do not come into .in or chard looking for winter apples on a May morning. But Daniel of our text is far from be ing gay. What oppressive thoughts must have come over him as lie remem bered that he was a captive in a strange land! The music that came into his study window was not the song of Zi on, but the sound of flute, saekbut and dulcimer in the worship of the heathen god. Moreover, he had no hope of ever getting back home again and meeting those who had missed him long and missed him bitterly, wondering if he were still alive and finding many a lux ury tasteless because they did not know but Daniel might be lacking bread. When you and I were in school or college and the vacation approached, we were full of bright anticipation, and we could not study the last day, and we could not study the last night. The lexicon and the philosophical ap paratus were transparent, so we could see right through them into the mead ows and the orchards. Not so with poor Daniel. He did not know that he should ever escape from captivity, or. escaping, he did not know but when he got home the loved ones would he dead and he would go, wandering and weep ing, among the sepulchers of his fa- thorn. Besides that, the king tried to make him forget his home and forget Ids country and for that purpose ac tually (hanged ids name. The king wanted him to he a prodigy in personal appearance, and so he ordered meat and wine sent from ids own table to Daniel, hut Daniel refuses all this and puts himself upon the humblest diet, the poorest of all herbs, called pulse, and plain water. His attendants cry out against this and tell him he will perish under such a diet. “No,” he says; “you try us for ten days, and if at the end of that time wo are not full cheeked and robust as any it will be surprising.” Ten days pass along, and the students come up for examination, and all declare that none are so ruddy and robust as Daniel and Ids fellow captives. The days of industrious pu pilage and the years pass by, and the day of graduation lias come, and Dan iel gets ids diploma, signed by the king and reading ns follows: “In all matters of wisdom and understanding that the king inquired of them he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all ids realm.” And so Daniel took the first honor, and here the story ends, for Daniel, the student, hereafter will he Daniel, the prime minister. DuiiKern of Kvll IlnltltH. The next thought suggested to me by lids subject is that young men may he carried into captivity by their enemies. There is a captivity more galling than the one in which Daniel was trans ported. It is the captivity of evil hab it. Men do not go into that wittingly. Slyly and imperceptibly are tin* chains forged upon them, and one day they wake up to find themselves away down in Babylon. Cyrus afterward consent ed that some of his captives should re turn, and .10,000 of them accepted the opportunity. But fell me what evil habit ever consented to let n man go. Ten plagues made Bharaoh consent to the departure of God’s people, but tell me what Bharaoh of evil habit ever cheerfully consented to let any of its victims go. Men talk of evil habits as though they tvore light and trivial, but they are scorpion whips that tear the flesh: they are spikes more bloody than the path of a Brahman; they make the poisonous robe of Nessus; they are the sepulchers in which millions are burn ed alive. The young are in more peril because they are unsuspecting. The lions are asleep in their soul, and their power is not suspected. The time when a ship’s company makes mutiny Is when the watchman Is off his guard. When a spider meets a fly, it does not say, “Go down with me to the place where I murder insects.” No; it says, “Come and take a bright morning walk with me on this suspension bridge of glittering gossamer.” Oh, there Is- a difference between the sparkle of a ser pent's eye and the crush of its slimy folds! There is a difference between the boar's paw toying with a kid and the crackling of the hones in the terri ble ling. Bike’s peak looks beautiful in the distance, but ask the starved trav elers by the roadside what they think of Bike’s peak. Are there those around whom suspicions companions are gatli- eilng'/ Do their Jests and their enter- taininehts make the hours go blithely by when you are with them? Have you taken n sip from their cup of sin or g< ne with them in one path of un righteousness? Turn hack. From Bab- jlcin they came, and to Babylon they would carry you. If so many plague stricken men would like to enter your companionship, before any one is al lowed to pass into the Intimacy of your heart put on them severest quarantine, Inefrucenble I tu im-i-mm I on ■, My subject also Impresses mo with the fact that early impressions are al most Ineffaceable. Daniel had a nil- gimiM bringing up. From fho gowtl meaning of Ids name 1 know lie had pious parentage. But as soon as ho Comes into the possession of the king his name Is changed, nil his surround ings are changed, and now, you say, will begin the demoralization of his character. Before, ids name was Dan iel, which means “God my Judge;” now Ids name is to be Belteshazzar, which means “the treasurer of the god Bel." Now you expect to see him overthrown amid all these changed circumstances Oh, no! Daniel started right, and ho keeps on right. When l ibid what Dan iel Is In Jerusalem, I am not surprised to ttml what he is in Babylon. 1 wish 1 could write upon all parents’ hearts the fact that early Impressions are well nigh Ineffaceable. When I see Jo- seph, a pious lad, In the house of his father, Jacob, I am not surprised to see him acting so nobly down in Egypt. When I find Samuel, a pious lad, in the house of ids mother, Hannah, I am not surprised that he gives a terrible smit ing to idolatry as soon ns he comes to manhood. David planued the temple at Jerusalem and gathered the mate rials for Its building, but Solomon, the son, came and put up the structure, and that goes on in all ages. The fa ther plans the character of the child and its destiny for time and eternity, then the son completes the structure. You might as well put down a founda tion ten feet by live and expect to rear on it a great cathedral as to put down a contracted character in a child’s soul and yet rear upon it something exten sively grand and extensively useful. Let me say to those Christian parents who are doing their best In the educa tion of their children: Take good heart. Your sons this moruing may be far away from you and in a distant city, but God, to whom you dedicated them, will look after them. The God of Dan iel will take care of them far away in Babylon. “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when ho is old lie will not depart from it.” He may wan der away for awhile and fall Into sin and break your heart, but before lie is (lone with his life, you, having com mended him to God, he will come hack again, for I put the emphasis in the right place and on the word “old” when I repeat that passage and say, “Train up a child In the way he should go, and when he is old he will not de part from it.” May you all have the glorious satisfaction of seeing your children walk In paths of righteous ness and peace! One with them on earth, may you be one with them in heaven! KoNtrain Appetite. But I learn also from this subject the beauty of Christian sobriety. The meat and the wine that were to come to Daniel’s table were to come from the king's table. Well, Daniel had no right to take that food. The ki.ig was a heathen and, like all the heathen, was accustomed to ask a blessing before he partook of food, and in that blessing they always dedicated the food to the gods. So that If Daniel had taken this food lie would have broken the law which forbade the taking of food dedi cated to idols. He chose pulse. It was a miracle that he did not dwindle away. There is nothing in pulse, such a poor herb, to make a man ruddy and healthful. Some people talk as though that were a kind of diet which would make a man swarthy and competent to do the duties of this life. That is not the lesson at all. But for a positive miracle Daniel would have dwindled away, and when God, for his self de nial. puts upon him this benediction he puts a benediction upon all Christian sobriety. I would not have you class your preacher among those who would put unnecessary restraints upon lawful appetites. There are those in this day who dispute the grant which God gave to man for animal food, and they make a religion of their hunger ns the Phari sees expected heaven for their fasting. Daniel did not always live on pulse. He was not a Grahamite, he was not a vegetarian. He went through that self denial because the food offered him was idolatrous food. Wheu I see God lilling the earth with all varieties of food, I have not much confidence In the teaching of those who would put us ou severe regimen. There are par ents who, with a wrong theory !n tills respect, deny their children all harm less luxuries and without sufficient In quiry send them out to hoarding schools where their Intellects are cul tured to the* disadvantage of their starved bodies, so that from many a hoarding school a class of 20 will grad uate, 11) of them ghosts. Now, when 1 see the three angels eating the calf which Abraham slew and when I And Christ eating broiled fish even after his resurrection I come to the conclu sion that the theories of the vegetarian are not, from a religious standpoint, well founded. Woes of Drunkenness. But. oil, how many temptations to dissipation! With so many things to tempt the appetite how many tempta tions to gluttony! With so many spar kling beverages how much temptation to drunkenness! Could I bring before you tills morning the mothers and the wives and the sisters who have wept at th<> graves of the Inebriate your soul would lie overpowered with the specta cle. Could I show you the manly forms robbed of their beauty, the eye flash ings quenched in the wine cup, the rud- dv cheek from which rum has wormed the rose, your souls *uulil recoil witn horror, and you would rise up and cry, “Begone, thou dream of hell!” Charles Lamb, who made all the world laugh at his humor and then aft erward made all the world weep at his fate, who outwitted everybody and w as at last outwitted of his own appe tites, wrote thus: “The waters have gone over me, hut out of the depths could I lie heard I would cry out to all those who have set a foot In the peril ous flood. Could the youth to whom the flavor of the first wine is delicious us tin.* opening scenes of his life or the entering upon some newly discovered paradise could he look Into my deso lation and lie made to understand what a dreary thing it Is when a man shall feel himself going down a precipice with open eyes and u passive will; to Bee ids destruction and have no power to stop It, yet feel it all the way ema nating from himself; to see all godli ness empty out of him and yet not aide to forget the time when it was other wise; to hear about the piteous specta cle of ills own ruin—could he see my feverish eye, feverish with Inst night's drinking and feverishly looking for to night's repetition of that folly; could he hut feel the body of the death out of which I cry hourly with feeble out cry to be delivered, Jt UCfo enough to nintto litm flnsli tbr> npAYkllug iiercrngo to the earth in all the pride of Its man tling temptation.” Are you fond of pictures? Here is one drawn by Solomon: "Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? Who hath babbling? Who hath wounds without cause? They that tarry long at the wine, they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it Is red, when it mov- etli itself aright In the cup. At the last It blteth like a serpent and stlngeth like an adder." “Do you know what you are doing?” said a mother who had broken into a restaurant, the door locked against her, her son Inside. She came up to the counter and saw the man of the restau rant mingling the Intoxicating cup for her own son. She said to the man be hind the counter, “Do you know what you are doing?” “No,” said he; “I don’t.” Says she, “You are fattening graveyards." Perils of StronR Drink, I was told at Des Moines of a train of cars going through a very stormy night over one of the western prairies. The young man who was present told us the story. In the night there was a little child in the sleeping ear, fretful and worrying and crying hour after hour. A man on the opposite side of the car lost his patience and said, “Ei ther make that child shut up or take it to its mother!” Then another man on the opposite side of the sleeping ear, a man with a broken heart, pushed back the curtain and looked out and said, ‘Young man, that child’s mother is dead In the baggage car, and the little tiling is wailing for her.” Then the man who had committed the affront rose and offered ids services for the night and took care of the child until the morning, and all the passengers in the car were broken down with emo tion. Oh, if the cry of one child could arouse so many sympathies what ought to be the effect of the ten thousand voiced shriek of orphanage and widow hood from the inebriate’s grave! God save this country from the perils of strong drink. My subject also impresses me with the beauty of youthful character re maining incorrupt away from home. If Daniel had plunged into every wicked ness of the city of Babylon, the old folks at home would never have heard of it. If he had gone through all the rounds of iniquity, it would have oast no shadow on his early home. There were no telegraphs, there were no rail roads. But Daniel knew that God's eye was on him. That was enough. There are young men not so good away from home ns at home. Frederick tending his father's sheep among the hills or thrashing rye in the barn is different perhaps from Frederick on the Stock Exchange. Instead of the retiring disposition there Is hold effron tery. Instead of an obliging spirit there is perhaps oppressive selfishness. Instead of open handed charity there is tight listed stinginess. Instead of rea sonable hours there is midnight revel. I speak to many young men on this matter—you who may have left your father’s house and others who, though still under the parental roof, are look ing forward to the time when you will go forth to conflict, alone In tills world, with its temptations and Its sorrows, and when you will build up your own character. Oh, that the God of Daniel might be with you In Babylon! Beware of Temptation. I think the most thrilling passage of a young man’s life,Is when he leaves home to make his fortune. The novel ty and the romance of the thing may keep him from any keen sorrow, but the old people who have seen the de struction of so many who have started with high hope cannot help but be anx ious. As long ns he was in his father’s house his waywardness was kindly chided, and although sometimes he thought the restraint rather bitter and rather severe In his calmer moments he acknowledged it was salutary and Gghteous. Through the Influence of metropolitan friends the father has ob tained a situation for Ids son in the city. The comrades of the young man come the night before his departure to bid farewell to the adventurer. The morning of his going away he walks around the place to take a last look at tilings, perhaps comes upon some ob ject that starts a tear, some old famil iar place, hut no one sees the tear. The trunk is put upon the wagon, the young man is off for the city. Ho is set down amid excitements and amid .’ssoeiates who are not overcareful about their words and thoughts and notions. Morning comes. No family altar. Sabbath comes. No rural quiet. The sanctuary comes, but all the faces are strange, and no one cares whether he comes to church or does not come. On his way from the store he sees a placard announcing a rare and a vi cious amusement. He has no greeting at the door of the boarding house. He has no appetite for the food. No one cares whether he eats or does not eat. Rather he wduld not eat. It Is cheap er. After the tea he goes Into the par lor, takes up a book, linds It dull, no sister to look over it with him. Goes up stairs to ids room In the third story, finds It cold and uninviting, and in de spair he rushes out, caring for nothing hut to get something to make him stop thinking. Tie Is caught in the first whirl of sin. Ho has started out on the dark sea where the gleam of the joy Is the Hashing of the pit and the laughter is the creaking of the gate of the lost. Oh, how many graves there are In the country churchyard which if they could speak would tell of young Uien who went off with high hopes and came hack blasted and crushed to dis grace the sepulcher of their fathers. And yet tlds exodus must go on. As from distant hills the rivers are pour ed down through tunnels to slake the thirst of our great cities, so from dis tant country places the streams of In corrupt imputation must pour down to purify our great cities. Tomorrow morning on nil Die thoroughfares, In •verj steamboat and in every rail car will be young men going fortli to seek their fortunes in our great towns. O Lord God of Daniel, help them to be as faithful In Babylon ns they were at Je rusalem! Forget not, O my young friend, In the great seaports the moral and religious principles inculcated by parental solicitude, and If today seated In the house of God you feel the ad vantage of early Christian culture forget not those to whom you are most Indebted and pray God that ns old age comes upon them and the shadow of death the hope of heaven may beam through the darkness. God forbid that any of us through our misconduct should bring disgrace upon a father’s Dame or prdVe recreant 16'the love of n mother. The dramatist made no exag geration when he exclaimed, “How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it Is to have a thankless child!” Oh, that God would help you as parents and ns young people to take to heart Die les sons of this Important subject, and If we shall learn that there is danger of being carried Into captivity and that early Impressions are almost Ineffacea ble and that there Is something beauti ful in Christian sobriety and Dint there Is great attractiveness in piety away from home, then It will be to you and to me a matter of everlasting congrat ulation that we considered how Daniel behaved when he became a college stu dent at Babylon. [Copyright, 1900, by Louis Klopsch.] The Urcat Cirous Day. In almost every home and hamlet the announcement of the coming to Gastonia, Thursday Oct. 18th, and Spartanburg on Friday Oct. l!Uh, of the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Bro thers union of big shows will be greeted as tidings of great joy. Aside from its national reputation it presents very strong special proof to support its claim of being the only big show in America today. Since the Barnum & Bailey show went to Europe it is the only menagerie, circus and hip podrome that has exhibited in New York city, and the general metro politan verdict, recorded by immense audiences for two seasons at Madison Square Garden, and in the press, seems to be that it has ec'ipsed its great and popular predecessor. The World echoes the drift of public opinion in pronouncing it “the big gest circus that New York has ever seen,“and what held good there will doubtless be maintained in the coun try at large, as the same attractions, whether on four legs or two, on th* earth or in the air, or water—and all of them—will be as effectively pre sented wherever the biggest tents on earth are pitched. From start to finish, from the magnificent street parade to the last of the hippodrome races, the exhibition is at once u co lossus and a corker. There are acres and acres of instruction, elation, fun and wonder. Hours may be profita bly and pleasantly passed in inspect ing the largest and finest collection of rarest wild beasts and birds. When it comes to the circus and hippo drome performances there appears to be no limit to the thrills and tickles. Hundreds of distinguished artists and admirably trained animals par ticipate in a hundred acts. Even the very air is alive with wizard bi cyclists, Hying sprites and trapeze heroes and heroines, while in the three rings below appear the nine teen finest male and female bareback riders of both Europe and America. Intermingling with all this and fill ing the very air with laughing gas are clowns of all kinds and countries to the number of twenty-five, whose music, mirth and infinitely humor ous hits and skits at current fads add fashionable follies make tens of thou sands hold their sides and hilariously howl.
