Washington, Nov. 10.—In this dis
course Dr. Talniage depicts the strug
gle of a man who desires liberation
from the enthrallment of evil and
shows how he may be set free; text.
Proverbs xxiil, 35: “W'hen shall 1
awake? I will seek It yet again.”
With an insight into human nature
such as no other man ever had. Solo
rnon in these words is sketching the
mental processes of a man who has
stepped aside from the path of recti
tude and would like to return. Wish
ing for something better he says:
“When shall 1 awake? When shall I
get over this horrible nightmare of in
iquity?" But seized upon by unerndi
cated appetite and pushed down hill
by his passions he cries out: "I will
sick it yet again. I will try it once
more.”

Moral Gea vltnliou Oiercinnc.
Years ago. atnl while yet Albert
Barnes was living. 1 pi . aclieil in his
pulpit one night to Hu* young iu '!i of
IMiiiaileiphia. In the opening of my
iliseottrse I said, "O Lord, give me one
soul tonight!” At tlb' elese of the serv
ice Mr. Barnes introduced a young
mail, saying. "Tills is the young man
you prayed for.” But 1 see now it
was a too limited prayer, i offer no
-ueli prayer today. It must take in a
wider sweep. ‘ Lord, give us all these
mills today for happiness and heaven!"
So far as God may help me I propose
to show what are the ohstaeie.s t yottr
•‘turn and then how you are to sur
mount those obstacles. The first di!!i-
eitlty in tin* way of your return is the
force of moral gravitation. Just as
:h re is a natural law which brings
' >wn to earth anything you throw into
I he air. so there is a correspond ing
moral gravitation. 1 never shall forget
i prayer I heard a young man make in
.he Young Men's Christian association
of New York. With trembling voice
ami streaming eyes he said: "O God.
thou knowest how easy It Is for me to
do wrong ami how hard it is for me to
do right! God help me!" That man
knows not Ids own heart who has nev
er felt the power of moral gravitation.
in your boyhood you had good asso
ciates and had associates. Which most
impressed you? During the last few
years yog have heard pure anecdotes
and impure anecdotes. Which the eas
iest stuck to your memory? You have
had good habits and bad habits To
which did your soul more easily yield?
But that moral gravitation may be re
sisted Just as you may pick up any
thing from the earth and hold it In
your hand toward heaven, just so. by
the power of God's grace, a fallen sdtil
may be lifted toward peace, toward
pardon, toward salvation. The force
of moral gravitation is In every one of
us. but also {tower In God’s grace to
over me that force.
The next tiling in the way of your
return is 'he power of evil habit. I
know there are those who say it is
.'cry easy for them to give up evil hub
its. I caun t believe them. Here is :i
man given to intoxication, who knows
it is disgracing his family, destroying
ids property and ruining him body,
mind and soul If that man. being an
iutelligeiu man and loving Ids family,
eouhl easily give up Mint habit, would
he not do so? The fu"t that he dis's
not give It up proves that It Is hard to
give it up It is a very easy tiling to
*ail down s ’vRm. the tide currying
von with great force, but suppose you
turn the boat up stream is it so easy
then to row It? As long as we yield to
the evil inclinations in our heart and
lo our bad lutbil* we are Hailing down
stream, hut tiie moment we try to turn
the return of their father’s genial dis
position. What wave of color has
dashed blue into the sky and green
ness into the mountain foliage and
the glow of sapphire into tiie sunset?
What enchantment has lifted a world
of beauty and joy on his soul? lie
has resumed tobacco.
The fact is we all know' In our own
experience that habit is a taskmaster.
As long as we obey it it does not chas
tise us. But let us resist it and we
find that we are lasl.ed with scorpion
whips and bound with ship cable and
thrown into the track of bone break
ing Juggernauts.
In Baris there Is a sculptured repre
sentation of Bacchus, the god of revel
ry. He is riding on a panther at full
leap. Oh, how suggestive! Lei every
one who is speeding on bad ways un
derstand he is not riding a docile and
Weil broken sleed, but that he is riding
a moaster wild and bloodthirsty and
going at a death h ap.
1 have also to say if a man wants to
return from evil practices society re
pulses him. The prodigal, wishing to
return, tries to take some professor of
religion by the hand. The professor of
religion looks at him. looks at the fad
ed apparel ami the marks of dissipation,
and instead of giving him a firm grip
of tiie hand offers him the tip end of
the loager fingers of the h ft hand,
which is equal to sinking a man in ike
face. Oh, !: w few Christian people uu
derstaud how much gospel there is in a
goud. honest handshaking! Sometimes
wlien \ mi have felt the need of uicottr-
agen.ij nt and some ChrisCan man lias
taken you heartily by tiie hand have
you not felt thrilling through every
liber of your body, mind and soul an en-
courng' .amt. that was just what you
necdi d ?

but if there come to the house of God
a man with marks of dissipation upon

This hour the door of mercy swings
wide open. Hesitate not a moment.
In many a ease hesitation is the loss of
all. At the corner of a street I saw a
tragedy. A young man evidently
doubled as to which direction he had
better take. His hat was lifted high
enough so you could see he bad an in
telligent forehead. He had a stout
chest and a nibust development. Splen
did young man! Cidtured yoiing man!
li mored young man! Why did lie stop
there while so many w < iv . ling up and
down? The fact is that every young
man lias a good angel and a had and
contending for the mastery of Ids spir
it, and there were a good angel and a
bad angel struggling with that young
man's soul at the corner of the street,
“t ome along with me,” said the good
angel; "I will talo' y u home. I will
spread my wings over your pillow. 1
will lovingly escort you al! through life
tinder supernatural protei tion. i will
bless every cup you drink out of. every
couch you rest on, every doorway you
enter. 1 w ill cousecrnie your tears when
you weep, your swn at when you toil,
and at the last I will hand over your
grave into the hand of the bright angel
of a Christian resurrection. I have
been sent of the Lord i > he your guard
ian spirit. Come with me,” said the
good angel in a voice of unearthly sym
phony. It was moeie like that which
drops from a lute of heaven when a
sercpli breathes on it.
"Oh. no.” sail! the had angel; “come
with me. 1 have something better to
offer. The wines I pour are fr oil eka!-
ices of bewitching carousal. The < am-e
I lead is over floors tessellated with un
rest rained imitiigenee. There is no
God to frown on the temples ef sin
where I worship. The skies are Ital
ian. The paths ! tread are through
meadow s daisied and primrosi d. Come
with me.”
AnKoi* of Destiny.
The young man hesitated at a time
when hesitation was ruin, and the laid
angel smote the good angel until it de
parted, spreading wings through the
starlight, i:fj^:rd and away until a
door swung open in the sky, and for
ever the wings vanished. That was
the turning point in that young man’s
history, for. the good angel flown, he
hesitated no longer, hut started on a
pathway which is beautiful at the
opening, but blasted at tbe last. Tbe
bad angel led the way through gate
after gate, and at each gate the road
became rougher and the sky more
lurid, and, what was peculiar, as the
gate slammed shut it came to with a
Jar that Indicated it would never open.
Past each portal there were a grinding
of locks and a shoving of bolts, and
tbe scenery on each side of the road
better, but because the mercy of God
has protected us. Those that are
brought up In Christian circles and
watched by Christian parentage should
not lie so hard on the fallen.
