New Yoke, April 5.?Continuing
his course of sermons on "ThcTni Pla
gues oftlio Cities," Key. Dr. Talmago
to-day took for his subject "The Plague
of Infidelity." The discourse was daliv
ered to large aud appreciative pudlences
at the Brooklyn Academy ot Music in
the forouoon and the Now York Acade
my of Mucslc in the evening, The text
ras Kornau? dl,: 4: "Let God be true,
) every man a liar."
Chat Is if God says ono thing and the
>le human race says tho opposite,
Paul would accept tho divine voracity.
Tint thero are many in our time who
have dared arraign the Almighty for
falsehood. Infidelity is not only a
plaguo, but it is the mother of pla
gues.
It seems irotn what we hoar on all
sides, that the Christian religion is a
huge blunder, that tho Mosaic account
of tho creation is an absurdity largo
enough to throw all nations into rollick
ing guffaw; that Adam and Eye never
existed; that tho ancient flood and
Noah's Ark wcro impossibilities, that
there never was a miracle; that tho
Biblo is tho friend of cruelty, of murder,
of polygamy, of all forms of baso crime;
that the Christian roligion U woman's
tyrant and man's stultification; that tho
Biblo from lid to lid is a fablo, a cruolty,
a humbug, a sham, a lie; that tho mar
tyrs who died for Its truth were misera
ble dupes; that tho Church of Jesus
Christ Is proporly gazetted as a fool;
that when Thomas Carlyle, tho scoptic,
said, "Tho Biblo is a noblo book," he
was dropping into imbecility; that who'i
Thoodoro Parker declared iu Music Hall,
Boston, "Never a boy or girl iu all
Christendom but was prolittcd by that
great book,"ho was becoming very weak
minded; that it Is something to bring
a blush to tho cheek of every patriot,
that John Adam9, tho father of Ameri
can independence, declared, "Tho Biblo
is tho best hook in all tho world;" and
that lion-hearted Andrew Jackson
turned Into a snivelling coward whon ho
?aid, "That book, sir, is'tho rock on
which our republic rests;" aud that
Danlol Webster abdicated tho throne of
his intellectual power aud reslgnod his
logic, and from being tho great oxpoun
dor of tho Constitution and tho great
lawyer of his ago, turned into an idiot,
when ho said, "My heart assures aud re
assures mo that tho Giospol of Josus
ChriBt must bo a divine reality. From ,
the tlmo that at my mother's feet, or on
my father's knee, I first learned to lisp
verses troin tho sacred writings, they
have been my daily study aud vlgliant
contemplation, and If thero is anything
in my style or thought to bo commended,
tho credit Is duo to* my kind parents In
instilling into my mind an early lovo Oi
tho Scriptures;" and that Wtlllam II.
Seward, tho diplomatist of tho century,
only showed his puerility when he de
clared, "The wholohopo of human prog-1
ress Is suspended ot. tho evergrowing
infiuences of tho Bible;" and that It is
wisest for us to take that book from tho
throno in the affections of ulcoun ted
mulitudes, aud put it under our foot
to bo trampled upon by hatred aud hiss
ing contempl; and that your old farther
was hoodwinked, and cajoled, and chca
ed, aud bo fooled, whon ho leaned on this
as a stall' after his hair grow gray, and
his hands woro tremulous, and his slop
shortened as he came up to tho verge of
the grave; and that your mother Bat with
a pack .of lies on her lap whllo reading
of tho better country, and ot tho ondlng
of all her aches aud pains, and re
union not only with those of you who
stood around her, but with tho children
she . had buried with infinite hoartache,
?o that she could re id no more until she
took off her spectacles, aud.wiped from
them tho heavy mist of many tears.
Alas! that for forty and fifty years they
should have walked under this delusion
and had It under tholr pillow when they
lay a dying in tho back room, and asked
that somo words from tho old book might
bo cut ""upon the tombstone under the
i shadow of the old country meeting houso
whero they, slcop to-day waiting for a
resurrection that will nover come. This
book, having deceived thorn, and having
deceived the mighty intellects of tho past,
must not bo allowed t.o deceive our larg
er, mightier, vaster, more stupendous in
tellects. And so out with tho book
from tho court-room whero it is used
in tho solemnization of testimony. Cut
with it from under tho foundation ot
church and asylum. Out with it irom
the domestic circle. Gather together all
the Bibles?tho children's Bibles, the
family Bibles, thoso nowly bound, aud
thoso with lid nearly worn out and pa
!;es almost obliterated by the fingers
ong age turned to dust?bring them all
togother, and let us mako a bonfire of
them, and oy It warm our cold criticism,
and after that turn undor with tho
poloughshare of public Indignation tho
polluted ashos of that loathsome, ad
ulterous, obscene, cruel and deatliful
book which is so antagonistic to man's
liberty, and woman's honor, and tho
world's happiness.
Now that Is the substance of what
infidelity proposes and declares, and
tho attack on tho Bible is accompanied
by great jocosity, and there is hardly
any subject about which moro mirth is
kindled than about tho Biblo. I liko
fun; no man was ever built with a keener
appreciation of it. Thero is hcnltli
In laughter instoad of harm?physcial
health, mental health, moral health,
spiritual health,?provided you laugh at
tho right thing. Tho morning is jo
cund. Tho Indian with its own mist
baptizes tho cataract Mlnnehaha, or
laughing water. You have not kept
Jfour eyes open, or your ear alert, if you
mve not seen tho sea smilo, or hoard
tho forests clap thoir hands, or tho
orchards in blossom-week ogico with re
dolence. . But there is a laughter which
?? is deathful, there is a laughter which
has t*io rebound of despair. II is not I
healthy to giggle about Cod, or chucklo
about eternity, or smirk about the tilings
of the immortal soul. You know what
caused the accident years ago on tho
Hudson Ilivcr railroad. It was an in
toxicated man who lor a joko pulled the
string of tho alrbrako and stopped tho
train, at the most dongcrous point of tho
journey. But tho lighting train, not]
knowing thero was any im pediment in
?Jie way, came down, crushing rait of 1
the mangled victims the immortal souls
that went speeding instantly to God and
judgment. It was only a joke. Ho thought
it would be such fun to stop the train.
Ho stopped itl And so Infidelity is
chiefly anxious to stop tho long train of
tho Bible, and the long train of tho
churches, and the long train of Christian
influences, while coming down upon
us are death, judment, and eternity,
coming a thousand miles a minute,
coming with more force than all tho
avalanches that ever slipped from the
Alps, coming with moro strength than
all the lightning express trains that ever
whistled, or shrieked, or thundered
acroos the continent.

infidelity has no good substitute for the [
consolation it proposes to take away. |
You kuow there are millions ol' people (
who get their chief consolation front tnls I
hook. What would you think of n cru
sade of this sort? Suppose a man should I
resolve that he would orgauize a con
sniracy to destroy all tho medicines from
all tho apothecaries and from all the hos
pitals ol the . arth. Tho work is done. I
Tho medicines arc taken and they are
thrown into tho river, or tho lake, or the I
sea. A patient wakes up at midnight
in a paroxysm of distress, and wants an
anodyne. "Oh," says the uurso, "the
anodynes are all destroyed; we have uo I
drops to givo you, hut instead of that I'll I
read you a hook on tho absurdities of I
i .or phii ir, und on the absurdities of all
remedies." I3ut the man continues to
\ '.lh<* in pain, und tho nurse, say.--: "I'll
continue to read you some discourses on I
0 odyncs, tho cruelties of auodynes. the
Indeceec'es of anodynes, the absurditios
of anodynes. For your groan, I'll give
you a laugh." Here in tho hospital is a
patient having a gangrened limb ampu
tated. Ho says, "Oh, for ether. Oh, J
for chloroform." The doctor says,
"Why, thoy aro all destroyed; wo don't
have any more chloroform, or ether; but
1 have got something a groat deal bet'er.
I'M read you a pamphlet against James I
Y. Simpson, tho discoverer of chloro
form as an niucsthotic, and against Doc
tors Agnow, and Hamilton, and Hos?ck.
aud Mott, and Harvey, and Abornothy."
"But," says tho man, "I must have
somo auajsthotlcs." "No," says the I
doctors, "they aro all destroyed, but wo
have got something a great deal better/'
"What is that?" "Fuu." Fun about
medicines. Lio down, all ye patients
in Bcllovuo hospital and stop your |
groaning?all yo broken-hearted of all
tho cities, aud quit your crylug; we have
tho i a(hulk-on at last! Hero is a doso

M ill ions of pcoplo willing with uplifted I
hand toward heaven to aflirm that tho |
Ciospcl of Jesus Christ is full of conso

poses to tako it away, giving nothing,
absolutely nothing except fun. Is thero
any greater height, or depth, or leogt.i, I
or breadth or immensity of meanness in
all God's univeric!
Infidelity is a religion of "Don't I
know." Is there a God? Don't know.
Is the soul immortal? Don'tknow. If I
we should meet each other in the luture
world will we recogni/.o each other? I
Don't knowl A roligion of "don't know"

proposes to substituto a religion of aw
ful negatives for our roligion of glorious I
positives showing right belbro us a world I
of reunion nnd ecstasy, aud high com
panionship, and glorious worship, and
stupendous victory; tho mig'htiest joy of
earth not high enough to roach to tho
base of tho Himalaya of uplifted splen
dor awaiting all thoso who ou wing of I
Christian faith will soar toward it,
llavo you heard of the conspiracy to
put out all the lighthouses on the coast?
Do you kno.v that, on a certain night ot
next, month, Eddystono llghthouso, Bell
Kock llghthouso, Shcrryvoro lighthouse,
Montauk lighthouse, Hattoras light
house, Now London lighthouse, Barno
gat lighthouse, and tho G10 lighthouses
on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts aro to
bo extinguished? "Oh," you say, "what
will become of tho ships on that night ?
Wont will bo tho fate of the ono million
sailors following tho sea? What will bo
tho doom of the millions ofpassengers ?
Who will arise to put down such a con
spiracy?" Every man, woman, and child
in America, and tho world. But that is
only a fable. That is what iufidelity is
trying to do, put out all the lighthouses
on tho coast of eternity, letting tho soul I
go up tho "Narrows" of death with no j
light, no comfort, no peace?all that
coast covered with tho blackest of dark- I
ness. Instead of the great lighthouse, a j
glowworm of wit, a firclly of jocosity. I
Which do you like tho better, O voyager J
for eternity--the firefly or the lighthouse? I
What a mission infidelity has started
on.! The extinguishment of lighlhousos,
tho brcakiug up of lifoboals, tho dismis- I
sal of all tho pilots, the turning of tho in-1
ciiptionou your child's grave into a farco J
and a lio. Walter Scott's "Old Mortal
ity,!' chisel in hand, went through the I
land to cut out into plainer letters tho J
half obliterated inscriptions on the tomb- J
stones, and it was a beautiful mission. I
But infidelity spends its tlmo with ham- j
mor and chisel tryiug to cut out from the I
tombstones of your d? ad all the story of I
resurrection aud heaven. It is the icon- I
ocla8t of every vil lago graveyard, and of I
every city cemetery, and of Wostmin-}
stcr Abbey. Instead of Curistian con- j
eolation for tho dying, a freezing sneer, j
Instead of prayer, a grimace. Instea.l I
o.' Paul's triumphant defiance of death, j
a going out you know not whero, to ttop j
you know not when, to do you know not.
what. That is Infidelity.
Furthermore: I cannot bo an infidel,
because of tho false charges Infidelity is
all the time making against tho Bible.
1 'erhaps the slander that has made the J
most impression aud thai- somo Chris-1
tians have not been intelligent enough I
to deny is that tho Biblo favors polyg- J
I nmy. Docs tho God of tho Bible uphold |
polygamy, or did he? How many wives I
did God* mako for Adam? Bo made
one wife. Does not your common sense J
tell you when God started tho marriage J
institution, ho started it ns he wanted
(it continued? If God had favored poly
' gamy he could havo created for Adam
!fwo wives, or ten wives, or twouty
wives, just as easily us ho made one. |
At tho very first of tho Biblo God shows
himself in favor of monogomy and nn
j tagonistic to polygamy. Genesis 2: 24:
I "Therefore shall a man leavo his fattior
and mother and shall cleave unto his
1 wi(o." Not his wives, but his wife.
How many wives did God spare for Noah
in tho ark? Two and two tho birds; two
i nnd two tho cnttlo; two and two tho
I Hons; two aud two the human race. If I
tho God of tho Biblo h id favored a mul
tiplicity of wives, ho would havo spared
a plurality of wives. When God first
iaunched tho human race, be gave Adam I
ono wlfo. At tho second lau'.ching of I
the human raco ho spares for Noah ono
wile, for Ham onp wlfo, for Shem one
wile, lor Jabhet one wlfo. Docs that
look as though God favored polygamy ?
In I .evil ie.ua XVlii, 18. < ?od thunders his
prohibition of moro than ono wife.
God pormlttcd polygamy. Yes; just
as ho permits to-day murder nnd theft
and arson aud all kind of crimo. He
Eormlta theso things as you well know,
ut ho does not sanction them. Who
would daro to say ho sanctions them ?
Because tho presidents of tho United!
States havo permitted polygamy In Utah, ]
you are. not, therefore, to conclude that
thoy patronized it, that thoy approved it
when, on the contrary, thoy denounced
It. All of God'n anciont Israel knew
that the God of the Biblo was against
polygamy, for in tho four hundrod and
thirt y years of their stay in Egypt thero J
la only ono caso of polygamy recorded? j
only ono. All the mighty men of the }
Bible stood aloof, from '-polygamy, ex
cept those who, tailing into tho en no,
were chastised within an inch of their I
fives, Adam, Aaron, Noah, Joseph,
Joshua, Samuel, monogamists, lint f
get well punished for it? Road the live?
of those two men, and you wi'l como to
the conclusion that ill the attributes of
God's nature were against their be
havior. David suffered for his cranes
in the caverns of Adullara and Massada,
tu the wilderness of Mahana'uu, in tbe
bcreavemeuts of Ziklag. Tbe Bedouins
after him, sickness after him, Absalom
after him, Ahltbopel after him, Adon
tjah uflcr him. the Edomltes after bint,
tbo Syrians after him, the Moabites after
him, death after blm, the Lord God Al
mighty after him. The poorest peasant
in -til the empire married to the plainest
Jewess was happier than the king in bis
marital misbehavior. How did Solomon
get along with polygamy? Head Ins
warnings, in Pr ?verbs, read his selt-dis
gust in Ecclesiastes. He throws up hla
hands in loathing, and cries out: "Van
ity of vanities, all is vanity," His seven
hundred wives nearly pestered the life
out of him. Solomon got well paid for
his crimes?well paid. I repeat that all
the mighty mou of the Scriptures were
aloof from polygamy, save as they wcro
pounded and Hailed, and cut to pieces
for their insult to holy marriage. If the
Bible is the friend of polygamy why is it
that in all the lands where the Bible
predominates, polygamy is forbidden
and In the lands where there Is no Bible,
it is favored? Polygamy all over China,
all over India, all over Africa, all over
Persia, all over heathendom, save ns
the missionaries have dono tbeir work,
while polygamy does not exist in Eng
land and the Uulted States, except in
defiance of law. Tho Bible abroad, God
honored monogamy. The Bible not
abroad, God abhorred polygamy.
Another false charge which infidelity
has made against the Biblo is tha t it ?
antagonistic to woman, that It enjoins
bor degradation and belittles her mis
sion. Under this Impression many wo
men have been ovorcomo ot this plnguo
of iuQdelity. Is tbo Biblo the enemy of
womnn? Como into tho picture gallery,
tho Louvre* tho Luxembourg of tho Bl
olo; and seo which pictures nro tho more
honored. Here is Evo, a perfect woman,
as perfect it woman as could bo made by
a perfect God. Hero is Deborah, with
her womanly arm hurling a host into tho
bailie. Hero is Miriam, lending tho
Israeli I ish ore lies Ira on tbo banks of the
Rod Sen. Hero is motherly Hannab,
with her own loviug band roplenisbiug
the wardrobe of her SOU Samuel, the.
prophet. Here is Abigail, kneeling at
tbo .not of tho mountain until tbo four
hundred wrathful men, at tho sight of
her beauty and prowess halt, halt?a
huriicane stopped ut tbo sight of tho
water lily, a dewdrop dashing back Niag
ara. Hero Is Ruth, putt'ng to shnmo all
modern slang about mothers-in-law as
she turns her back on her homo and her
country, and faces wild boasts aud exile
and death, that sho muy be with Nuomi,
her husband's mother. Ruth, the. queen
of tho harvest holds. Ruth, the grand
mother of David, Ruth, tho ancestress
of Jesus Christ. The story of her vir
tues and her lifo sacrifice the. most beau
tiful pastoral ever written. Here is
Vashti, dotyiug tho bacchanal of a thous
and drunken lords, and Esther, willing to
throw her lito away that sho may deliver
her people. And here is Dorcas, the
sunlight of eternal famo giluing her phil
anthropic neodls, aud the woman with
per fume in a box, made from tbo hills of
A1 abas Iron, pouring the holy chrism on
the bend of Christ, tho aroma lingering
all down tbe corridor of tbo centuries.
Hero is Lydin, tho merchautess of Tyrian
purple, immortalized for her Christian
behavior. Here is tbo widow with two
mites, more famous than the Peabodys
and tho Lenoxes of all ages, whdo hero
comes in slow of gait aud with cureful
attendants and with especial honor and
high favor, leaning on tho arm of inspir
ation, ono who is the joy and pride of
any homo so rarely tortunate as to have
ono?an old Christian graudmother.
Grandmother Lois. Who has more
worshippers to-day than acy being that
over lived on earth, except Jes is Christ?
Mary. For what purpose did Christ per
form Ills first mirnc'o rpon earth? To
relievo the embarrassmout of a womau
ly housekeeper at tho falling short of a
beverage. Why did Christ break up the
silence of tho tomb, and tear off tbe
shroud aud rip up tho rocks? It was to
stop tho bereavomeut of tho two Beth
any sisters. For whoso comfort was
Christ most anxious in the hour of dying
excruciation? Fora woman, an old wo
n.*an, a wrinkle-faced woman, a woman
who in other days hid hold him in her
arms, his first friend, his last friend, as
is it very apt to be, his mother. All the
pathos of tho ages compressed into ono
utterance, "Behold thy mother." Does
tho Biblo antagonize woman?
If tho Biblo is so antagonistic to wo
man, how do yon account for tho diller
cuco in woman1,, condition in China and
Central Africa, and her condition in
England and America? There is no dif
ference except that which the Biblo
makes. In lands where there is no Bi
blo, sho is hitched like a beast of bur
den to the ploughs, she carries tbo bod,
sho submits to indctcribablo ind.gnitles.
She must be kept in a privato apartment
and .if she como forth she must be care
fully hooded and religiously veiled as
though it were a shame to be a woman.
Do you not know that the very first thing
the Bibie docs when it comes into a now
country is to strike off tho skackles ot a
woman's serfdom? O woman, where
nro your chains to-day? Hold up both
your arms and let us seo your handcuffs;
they are bracelets of gold, bestowed by
husbandly, or fatherly, or brotherly, or
sisterly, or loverly atlcction. Unloosen
the warm robo from your neck. O wo
mnn, and lot us seo tbo yoke of your
bor.da<ve. Oh, I find the yoke a enrcenct
of silver, or a string, of cornelians, or a
cluster of pearls that must gall you very
much. How had you must all havo it.
Since you put the Bible on your stand
in tbe silting room uas tho Bible been to
you, O woman, a curso or a blessing?
Why is it that a woman when sho ig
troubled will go to her worst enemy the
Bible? Why do you not go for comfort
to some of the groat Infidel books, Spi
noza's Ethics, or 11 nine's Natural His
tory of Religion, or Paine's Ago of Rea
son, or Dedro's Dramas, or any ono of
tho two hundred and sixty volumes of
Voltaire? No, tho silly, deluded woman
persists in hanging about tho Bible
verses,"Let not your heart bo troubled,"
"AH things work together for good,"
"Weeping may endure for a night," "I
am tho resurrection." "Poaco, bo still."
Furthermore: rather than invito I re
sist this plaguo of infidelity because it
has wrought no positive good for tho
world, and is always a hindrance. I ask
you to mention tbo names of tho merci
ful and the edeatioual institutions
which infidelity founded and is support
ing, and has supported all tho way
through: institutions pronouucod against
God ami tho Christian relllgion, and yet
pronouncod in behalf of suffering hu
manity. What are tho names of them?
Certainly not the United States Chris
tian commission; or the. sanitary com
mission; for Christian Georgo H. Stuart
was the presld mt o? tho one, and Christ
ian Henry W. Belows was tbo prosidont
of tho other. Whore nro the asylums
and merciful instituions founded by in
fidelity' and supported by infidelity, pro
nounced against God and the Bible, and
yet doing work for the alleviation of
suffering? Infidclly is so very loud In
its braggadocio it must havo some to
mention. Certainly, if you come to
speak of eduoaMohol institutions It Is
not Yale, it Is not Harvard, it is not
Princeton., it is not Mlddletown, it is not
Cambridge or Oxford, it is not miyin
stituttion from which a diploma would
not bo a disgrace. Do you point to the
vereitle? as exceptions? I
have to tell you that all the German
universities to-day are under positive
Christian iiituieuce, except tho Universi
ty of Heidelberg, were the . rulllanly
students cut and man and mangle arid
murder each other as a matter of pndc
instead of infamy. Do you mention
Girard college, Philadelphia, as an ex
ception, that college established by the
will of Mr. Girard, which forbade relig
ious instruction und tho cutruue-o of cler
gymen within its gutes? My reply Is
that I lived for seven years neur that
college and know many of its professors
to bo Christian Instructors, and no bet
ter Christian influences aro to be found
in any college than in Girard college.
Thero stands Christianity. There
stands infidelity. Comparo what thoy
have done. Compare their resources.
There is Chrintianity. a praver on her
lip; a benediction on her brow; both hands
lull of help; tho mother of titousands of
colleges; the mother of thousands of asy
lums for tho oppressed, tho blind, the
sick, tho lamo, the hnbeo le; the mother
of missions for the bringing back of the
outcast; ths mother of thousands of re
formatory institutions for the saviug of
tho 4 ; tho motlier of'innumerable Sab
both schools bringing milllous of children
undor a drill to preparo them for res
pectability and usofuincss, to say noth
ing of the groat future. That Is Chris
tip nty.
Hero is Infidelity; no prayer on her
Hps, no benediction on her brow; both
hands clenched?what for? To fight
Christianity. ;That is tho entire business.
Tho complete mission of infidelity is to
fight Christianity. Where are her schools,
her colloges, her asylums of mercy?
Let mo throw you dowu a whole
ream of foolscap papor that you may fill
all of it with tho names of her beneficent
institutions, tho colloges and the asy
lums, tho institutions of mercy and of
icnriilug, founded by Infidelity, aud sup
ported nlono by Inllcdllty, pronounced
against God and tho Christian rollgion
aud yet in favor of making the world
better. "Oh," you say, "a ream of
paper Is too much for tho names of those
institutions." Well, thou, 1 throw you
a quire of paper. Fill itali up now. I
will wait until you got all the names
down. "Oh," you say, "that is too
much." Well, theu, I will just hand
you a sheet of lotter paper. Just till ujr
tho lour sidos while wo are talklug of this
matter, with tho names of tho merciful
institutions and the educational institu
tions founded by Infidelity nnd.supported
all along by Infidelity, pronounced
gainst God aud tho Christian religion,
yet iu favor of humanity.
"Oh," you say, "that is too much
room; wo don't want a whole sheet of
I paper to write down tho na.nes." Per
haps I had better tear out ono leaf from
ray memorandum book, and nsk you to
fill up both sides of it with tho names of
such institutions "Oh," you say, "that
I would be too much room; I wouldn't
I want so much room as that." Well,
theu, ?qppose you couut them on your
ton lingers, "Oh," you say, "not quito
so much ns that." Well, then, count
them on the Augers of ono hand. "Oh,"
you say, "wo don't want quite so much
room as Hint." Supposo, theu, you
halt and couut on ono llugor tho n amo
of any institution fouuded by infidelity,
supported entirely bo infidelity, pro
nounced against God and the Christian
religiou, yet toiliug to make tho world
bolter. Not one! Not ono!
Is infidelity so poor, so starveling, so
mean, so unless? Got out, you misora
blo pauper of tho universe! Crawl into
somo rat hole of everlasting nothingness.
Infidelity standing to-day amid tho suf
fering, groaning, dying nations, aud yet
doing absolutely nothing save trying to
impede those who aro toiling until thoy
fall exhausted iuto their graves In trying
to mako the world - bettor. Gather up
nil the work, all tho merciful work, that
inlidclily has ever done, add it all to
pe'her, aud thero is not so much nobilty
in it as in the smallest bead of that sis
ter of charily who last uight went up
tho dark alley of tho town put a jar of
jelly for an invalid appteite on a broken
stand, and then knelt on the have floor,
praying tho mercy of Christ upon tho
dying soul.
Infidelity scrapes no lint for tho
wounded, bakes no bread for the hun
gry, shakes up no pillow for the sick
rouses no comfort for tho bereft, gilds
no grave for the dead. While Christ,
our Christ, our wounded Christ, our
risen Christ, the Christ of this old fash
ioned Bible?blessed be his glorious
name forever!?our Christ stands this
hour pointing to tho hospital, or to the
asylum saying: "I was sick and yo gave
me a couch, I was lamo and ye gave mo
a crutch, I was blind and ye physiclan
od my eyesight, I was orphaned and ye
mothered my soul, I was lost on the
mountain and ye brought me home;
inasmuch as ye did it to one of the
least of these, ye did It to rae."
But I thank God that this plaguo of
infidelity will be stayed. Many of those
who hoar me now by tho Holy Ghost
upon their hoarts will cease to bo scof
fers and will become disciples, and the
day will arrive.when all nations will
accept tho Scriptures. Tho book is
going to koep right on until the fires of
tho last day are kindled. Somo of them
will begin on one side and some on tho
other side of tho old book. They will
not find a bundle of loose manuscripts
easily consumed like tinder thrown
into tho fire. When the fires of the
last dsy are kindled some will
burn on this side, from Genesis toward
ltevelation. and others will burn on this
side, from ltevelation towards Genesis,
and in all their way they will not find a
single chapter or single verso out of
place. That, will bo the first timo wo
can afford to do without tho Bible.
What will be the use of tho book of
Genesis, descriptivo of how. the world
was made, when the world is destroyed V
What will be the use of the prophecies
when they are all fulfilled V What will
be the use of the evangelistic or Pau
lino description of Jesus Christ when
wo see him face to face? What will be
the use of his photograph when wo have
met him in gloryV What, will bathe
use of the Boole of ltevelation, stand
ing as you will with your foot on the

ONLY HOME-MADE GOODS FOR THEM
lllcliluud'n AUIanco Iteulu? an Important
MoTomont.
Columbia, S. O, April 0.-The far
mers of Itichland County have inaugu
rated a very important movement,
which they hope will sproad over this
and all other of the Southern States.
They have decided to use only goods
manufactured in this State, particular
ly in Columbia, and will confine their
purchases to only those merchants who
will handle the home manufactured
articles. It looks like the genesis of a
big boycott against the Northern manu
factures, yet they ask them to build fac
tories here then they will buy.
A largo meeting of the Itichland
County Farmers' Alliance was held In
Agricultural Hall Friday and nearly all
the members were present. The follow
ing resolutions wore offered by Mr.
Stoeber and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, we fully recognize the im
portance, not only to the farmers, labor
ers and mechanics, but to the peoplo at
large, that mechanical and industrial
pursuits be fostered and encouraged in
our midst.
Resolved, That we pledgo ourselves
not only to support and sustain all new
manufacturing enterprises in this State
and county, personally as Farmers'
Alliancemen, but will also endear or to
induce others outside the Allianco to do
the same.
Resolved, That wo pledgo ourselves
to buy articles of whatever kind manu
factured in this State and comity and
particularly in the city of Columbia, in
preference to Imported articles, and
make it also obligatory upon the mer
chants with whom wo deal to do tho
same;pro/ided, however, that the home
manufactced articlo is as cheap and as
good as the imported.
Resolved, That we further pledgo our
selves, in case any merchant, e ce_)t for
?oodand Sufficient reasons, siiouid re
use or neg'ect to purchase and keep for
salo any of said homo manufactured ar
ticles, that we will refuse to trade with
said merchant.
Resolved, That wo request tho several
newspapers of the city of Columbia to
arouse tho peoplo to this important
measure, and call public meetings for the
purpose of passing simular resolutions.
Resolved, That the secretary is re
quested and required to furnish copies
of these resolutions to newspapers of the
manufacturing centres of the Union for
publication.
Resolved, That we extend the right
band of fellowship to the manufacturers
from tho North, Fast, West and South
who will conlldo In these our promises
by erecting factories in our midst.
Resolved, That the City Council of
Columbia be requested to extend such
facilities and privileges as may bo in
their power to grant to said manufact
uring establishments to bo established.

MarlaBAHoiin liarbitrlty.
London, April 4.?On top of the ac
count of the recent horrible massacre by
tho Ilova Governor of Nos<uve,Madagus
car, comes another story illustrating tho
ferocity of those peoplo, who aro nomi
nally under French protection. It ap
pears that Rannisilofo, Governor of Ma
hunoro, had an unfortunate native tor
tured in tho most horriblo manner bo
cause ho refused to oboy him. The vic
tim was bound to a pole, and in that
position paraded through the villiago
for two whole days. When freed from
tho polo ho was placed in a sort of a
coffin, hollowed from tho trunk of a trco,
and covered with a plank. In the box
thoro was nothing but a small holo of
about three inches, for tho victim's eyes
and nose. The unfortunate nativo was
kept screwed down in this collln not less
than two months, and actually lived
during that time. Ho was fed by tho
aperture, hisrolatatives being permitted
to give him food. At length, upon tho
payment of 100 piastres, tho govern
ment allowed the man to bo released.
To linns O'MiWlcy.
Nkw ORLEANS, April 4.?Tho Vigi
lance committee last evening held a
meeting and considered what disposition
should bo mado of O'Malloy, who ap
peared in the, criminal court yestorday
morning to V.iswer the indictments
found against him, and was roleasod on
?3,000 bail. There was a strong senti
ment in favor of hanging him Irom tho
Clay statuo at once, out it was finally
ngreed that he should bo permitted to
stand trial, and if not conyictcd, to be
s'-mmarlly dealt with. As the indict
ments so far aro framed on such llimsy
evidence, an acquittal is pretty sure, if
an impartial jury is found.

"HAMB?RG REDEEMED.
Governor ltsn Tlllman Cloaca f'p Its Am
phitheatre.
Augusta, April 3.?Tho Chronicle's
protest lias not been in vain. Hamburg
has been redeemed.
Tho sporting town of the two slates
will now havo to retire on its unsavory
record and live it dowu. No more cat
and dog lights, chicken lights or any
other kind of fights will bo allowed to
make night or day hideous. This is what.
Governor Ti.lman says, aud so it must
be. This town of ancient business im
portance, but which has sprung lately
into national notoriety because of tho
cruel animal and chicken fights that havo
taken place within its limits, will now
resume its waited quiet, so far as wild
cat and bull-dog lights arc concerned.
A big cocking main between North
and South Carolina commenced yester
day in Hamburg and occupied a greater
part of tlio day, a good crowd being in
attendance. Six lights of the main were
fought. These fights wero witnessed
with considerable interest, as a good
deal of money was up on the issue.
They resulted 3 to 3, and neither state's
cocks could crow over tho victory'. "Af
ter these "main" fights fo'.ir spirited
hack lights took place, which, Id their
turn, resulted 2 to 2, leaving hones still
easy.
Just before the lights were concluded
a piece Of intelligence was received which
caused something of a sensation. The
news which somewhat startled tho crowd
was that an olllcial order had been re
ceived by tho local authorities of the
town from Governor Tillrnan, calling on
them to slop all such lighting and to ar
rest those who participated in such sport.
This was nows, indeed, and of the
worst convincing sort. It was moving
intelligence, with tho accent on the
move, The main, which was to bo con
tinued for three days, it was quite evi
dent, could not go on. Fortunately for
tho participants, however, they could.
And they went. They probably had
some uncomplimentary things to say of
Governor Tlllman, Possibly The Chron
icle, whose stand in thin mnttcr has
brought the question to Governor Tin
man's attention, came in for a share of
the compliments that wero passed. But
the procession mo.cd on, just tho same.
The h?bt of day will not be heralded
in Hamburg this morning by the clarion
notes of the chanticleer from tho old
North State. Tho tar heel has dusted,
closed up his coops nnd quietly gone
away. No longer is the message fron
the Governor of Smith l/iirolina to tho
Governor of North Carolina to bo one
of historic con vlvialily. Now it is, keep
your gamo cocks on your on dung hill,
am. don't, send them into my domain to
enter tlio prizo ring.
A now battlefield will have to be se
lected if tho fights aro to go on to a fin
ish. The authorities aro now armed
With the law and if auy more lighting is
carried on, thoy aro compelled to see
that it is stopped. This Is pretty hard
on the sports, but it Is tho edict ?f the
farmer govornor. It is understood that
a now placo :.s to bo selected and that
tho fights will be continued elsewhere In
Carollua?at some point out of tho reach
