The usual estimate of Mr. Field’s wealth

richer every day, but it is absurd to put

Now that is the substance of what infidel

the Bible is accompanied by great jocosity,
and there is hardly any subject about which
more mirth is kindled than about the Bible.

What a mission infidelity has started on'
' he extinguishment of lighthouses, the
breaking up of lifeboats, the dismissal of all
thcpilotf., the turning of the inscription on
’ our child’s grave into a farce and a lie.
Walter Scott’s “Old Mortality,” chisel in
nan 1, went through the land to cut out into
plainer letters tho half obliterated inscrip
tions ou the tombstones. and it was a beau-
• itul mission; but infidelity spends its time
vith hammer and chisel trying to cutout
iVum the tombstones of your dead all the
story of resurrection and heaven. It is the
iconoclast of every village graveyard and of
every uty cemetery and of Westminster Ab-
bey. Instead of Christian consolation for
the dying, a freezing sneer. Instead of
prayer a grimace. Instead of Paul’s
triumphant defiance of death, a going out
you know not where, to stop you know not
when, to do you know not what. That is in
fidelity.
Furthermore: 1 cannot be an infidel, be
cause of the lalse charges infidelity is all the
tune making against the Bible. Perhaps the
slander that has made the most impression
and that some t hristiaus have not been in
telligent enough to deny is that the Bible
favors polygamy Does the God of the Bible
uphold polygamy, or did He? How man)’
wives did God make for Adam? He made
one wife. Does not your common sense tell
• ou when God started the marriage institu-
ion He started it as Ho wanted it to con
tinue? If God had favored polygamy He
could have created for Adam live wives or
ten wives or twenty wives just as easily as
i He made one.
At the very first of the Bible God shows
i Himself in favor of monogamy anti antago-
| uistie to polygamy. Genesis ii., £4, “fliere-
| tore shell a man leave his father and mother,
j .oid shall cleave unto his wife.” Not his
| wives, but his wife. How many wives did
! God spare for Noah in the ark? Two and
two tho birds; two and two t'oe cattle; two
and two the lions; two and two the human
race. If the God of the Bible had favoretl
a multiplicity of wives He would havespared
j a plurality of wives. When God first
i launched the human race He gave Adam
i one wife. At the second launching of tho
J human race lb* -pares for Noah one wife,for
: Ham ono wife, for She in one wife, for
I Japlict one wife. Does that look as though
; God favored polygamy? In Leviticus xviu.,
IS, God thunders His prohibition of more
than one wile.
God permitted polygamy. Yes; just as
He permits to-day's murder and theft and
m '"son and all kinds of crime. He permits
I these things, as you well know, but He does
; not saiiefi'in them. IVho would dare to say
j Uc i»:r.t*lu'ns i hem? Because the Presidents
T the United States have permitted poly
semy in Utah, you are not, therefore, to con-
| elude that they patronized it, that they ap
proved it, when, on the contrary, they de-
I nounced it. Ail of God’s ancient Israel
knew that the Go 1 of the Bible was against
i “oiygamy, for in the four hundred and thirty
i years of their stay iu Egypt there is only
j ..no case of polygamy recorded—only one.
j Ail the mighty men of the Bible stood aloof
; from polygamy except those who, falling
into the crime, were ehastizjd within an inch
of their lives. Adam, Aaron, Noah, Joseph,
Joshua, Samuel, monogamists. But you say,
; ‘Didn'tDavid and Solomon favoi pedogamy?”
Yes: and did they not grt well punished for
iD
Read the lives of those two men and you
will come to the conclu>ion that all the at-
tribut' s of God’s nature were against their
behavior. David suffered for his crimes iu
the caverns of Adullam and Massada, in the
wilderness of Muhauuim, in the bereave
ments of Zi king. The Bedouins after him,
sickness after him, Absalom after him.
Ahithopel after him, Adonijah after him,
the Edomites after him, the .Syrians after
: him, the Moabites after him. death after
him, the Lord God Almighty aft'u* him.
I he poorest peasant in all the empire mar
ried to the plainest Jewess was happier than
i the King in his marital misbehavior. How
did Solomon get along with polygamy?
Read his warnings in Proverbs; read hisself.:
disgust in Ecclesiastes. He throws up hi
hands in loathing and cries out, “Vanity o
\unities, all is vanity.” Ilis seven hundred
wives nearly pestered the life out of him.
Solomon got well paid for his crimes—well
paid.
I repent that nil the mighty men of th©
Scriptures were aloof from polygamy, save
, as they were pounded and flailed and cut to
pieces for their insult to holy marriage. If
the Biblo is the friend of polygamy why is it
that in all the lands where the Bible pre
dominates polygamy is forbidden, and in the
unds where there is no Bible it is favored.
Polygamy all over China, all over India, all
over Africa, all over Persia, all over heathen
dom, save as the missionaries have done
their work, while polygamy does not exist in
Ungland and the United States, except in de
fiance of law. The Bible abroad, God hon
ored monogamy. The Bible not abroad,
God abhorred polygamy.
Another false charge which infidelity has
mmje aeainst the Bible is that it is antago
nistic to woman, that it enjoins her degrada
tion and belittles her mission. Under this
| impression many women have been over
come of this plague of infidelity. Is the
Bihl© the enemy of woman ? Com© into the
picture gallery, the Louvre the Luxembourg
of tin* Bible, and see which pictures are the
more honored. Here is Eve, a perfect
woman; as perfect a woman as could l>e

with her womanly arm hurling a host into
battle. Here is Miriam, leading the Israel
ii ish orchestra on the banks of the
Red Sei. Here is motherly Hannah,

’ iidrobeof her son Samuel, tho prophet.
Here is Abigail, kneeling at the foot of the
mountain until the four hundred wrathful
men, at the sight of her beauty and prowes:

: um I mother, Grandmother Lois. Who has
'■*i' , ro worshipers to-day than any being
that ever lived on earth except Jesus Christ?
Mary. For what purpose did Christ perform
His first miracle upon earth? To relieve the
! embarrassment of a womanly housekeeper
at the falling short of a beverage. Why
did (’lirist break up the sileneo of the tomb,
and tear off the shroud, and rip up the rocks?'
It was to stop tho bereavement of the two
: bethany sisters. For whose comfort was
< ’hrist most anxious in the hour of dying
! excruciation? For a woman, an old woman,
a wrinkle faced woman, a woman who in
other days had held Him in her arms, His
ih>t friend. His last friend, as it is very apt
j i » be, JIG mother. All the pathos of the ages
i compressed into one utterance, “Behold thy
| mother.” Does the Bible antagonize
• woman?
if the Biblo is so antagonistic to woman,
how do you account for tho difference in
woman’s condition in China and Central
| Alrica, and her condition in England and
( A merica? There is no difference except that
| which the Bible makes. In lands where there
i -no Bible she is hitched like a beast of bur-
j (I'li to tho plows, she carries the hod, shesub-
I mils to indescribable indignities. She mint
i e kept in a private apartment, and if she
i ce forth she must be carefully hooded mid
hgiously veiled as though it were a shame
| t tbca woman. Do you not know that tin*
very I'l'M thing the Bible docs when itCOOMM
into a new country is to strike off the shackles
of woman’s serfdom? O woman, where are
vour chains to day ? Hold ud both vour arms
and let us see your handcuffs. Oh, we see
the handcuffs. They are bracelets of gold
bestowed by husbandly or fatherly .or
brotheHy or sisterly or lovely affedtidn. Uri-
Ibosen the warm robe from your neck, O
woman, and let us see the yoke of your bond
age. Oh, I find the yoke a carcenetof silver,
or a string of carnelians, or a cluster bf
pearls, that must gall you very much. How
bod you must all have it.
dince you put the Bible on your stand in
the sitting room, has the Bible been to you,
O woman, a curse or o bleseing? Why is it
that a woman when she is troubled will go
to her worst enemy, the Bible? Why do
you not go for comfort to some of the
great infidel books, Spinoza’s “Ethics,”
or Hume’s “Natural History of Religion,”
or Paine’s “Age of Reason,'’ or any one of
the 230 volumes of Voltaire? No, the silly
deluded womau persists in hanging about
our Bible verses, “Let not your heart be
troubled,” “All things work together for^
good, ’ “Weeping may onduro for a night,”
“1 am the resurrection,” “Peace, be still.”
Furthermore, rather than in vita I resist
this plague of infidelity because it lies
wrought tio positive good for the world mid
is al .v&ys a hindrance. I ask you to mention
the name of the merciful and the education
al institutions which infidelity founded and
is supporting, and has supported all the way
through—institutions pronounced against
God and tho Christian relic ion, and yet pro
nounced in behalf of suffering humanity.
What arc the names of them? Certainly not
the United States Christian commission, or
the sanitary comuiBsion, for Christian
George H. Stuart was the President of the
one, and Christian Henry XV. Bellows was
the President of the other.
Where are the asyiu.ns and merciful in
stitutions founded by infidelity and sup
ported by infidelity, pronounced against
God and the Bible, and yet doing work for
the alleviation of suffering 9 Infidelity is so
very loud in its braggadocio it must have
some to mention. Certainly, if you come to
speak of educational institutions it is not
Yale, it is not Harvard, it is not Princeton,
it is not Middletown, it is not Cambridge or
Oxford, it is not any institution from which
a diploma would not be a disgrace. Do you
point to the German universities as excep
tions? I have to tell you that all the German
universities to-day are under positive
Christian influences, ex jpt the University
of Heidelburg, where the ruffianly students
cut and maul and mangle and murder each
other as a matter of pride instead of infamy.
Do you mention Girard College. Philadelphia;,
as att exception, that coll, g * established by
the will of Mr. Girard which forbade re
ligious instruction and the entrance of
clergymen within its gates. My reply it
that 1 lived for seven years near that college
• and I knew many of its professors to be
Christian instructors, and no better Christian
influences are to be found in any college than
in Girard College.
There stands Christianity. There stands
infidelity. Compare what they have done.
Compare their resources There is Chris
tianity, a prayer on her lip; a benediction oil
her brow; both hands full of help for all who
want help; the mother of thousands of col
leges; the mother of thousands of asylums
for the oppressed, the blind, the sick, the
lame, the imbecile; the mother of missions
for the bringing back of the outcast; tho
mother of thousands of reformatory institu
tions for the saving of the lost; the mother
of innumerable Sabbath-schools bringing
millions of children under a drill to prepare
them for respectability and usefulness, to
say nothing of the groat future. 'I hat is
Christianity.
Here is infidelity; no prayer on her lips, no
benediction on her brow, bot h hands clenched
—what for? To fight Christianity. That is
the entire business. Tho complete mission
of infidelity to fight Christianity. Where
are her schools, her colleges, her asylums of
mercy? Let me throw you down a whole
ream of foolscap paper that you may fill all
of it with the names of her beneficent in
stitutions, the colleges and the asylums, the
institutions of mercy an I learning, founded
by infidelity and supported alone by infidel
ity, pronounced against God and the Chris
tian religion, ami yet in favor of making the
world better. “Oh,” you say, “a ream of
paper is too much for the names of those in
stitutions.” Well, then, i throw you a quire
of paper. Fill it all up now. 1 will wait
until you get all tho names down. “Oh,”
you say, “that is too much.’’ Well, then, i
will just hand you a sheet of letter paper.
Just Jill up the lour sides while we arc talk
ing of this matter with the names of the
merciful institutions and the educational in
stitutions founded by infidelity and supported
all along by infidelity, pronounced against
God and the Christian religion, yet in favor
of humanity.
“Oh,” you say “that is too much room.
We don't want a whole sheet of paper to
write down the names.” Feriiaps l hud hot
ter tear out one leaf from my memorandum
book and ask you fill both sides of it with the
names of such institution-. “Oh,” you say,
“that would be too much room. I wouldn’t
want so much room as that.” Well. then,
suppose you count them on your ten fingers.
“Oh,” you sa}’, “not quite so much as that.”
Well, then, count them on tho fingers of one
hand. “Oh,” you say, “we don’t want quite
so much room as that.” Hupnose, then, you
halt and count ou one finger tlie name of any
institution founded by infidelity, supported
entirely by infidelity, pronounced against
God and the Christian religion, yet toil
ing to make the world better. Ffot one!
Not one!
Is infidelity so poor, so starveling, so
mean, so useless? Get out, you miserable
pauper of the universe ! Crawl into some
rathole of everlasting nothingness. Infidelity
standing to-day amid the suffering, groaning,
dying nation, and yet doing absolutely
nothing save trying to impede those who are
toiling until they fall exhausted into their
graves in trying to make the world better.
Gather up all the work, all the merciful
work, that infidelity has ever done, add it
all together, and there is not so much nobil
ity in it as in the smallest bead of that sister
of charity who last night went up the dark
alley of the town, put a jar of jelly for an
invalid appetite on a broken stand, and then
knelt on the hare floor praying tho mercy of
Christ upon the dying soul.
Infidelity scrapes no lint for the wounded,
bakes no bread for the hungry, 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 tho old fashioned
Bible—blessed be His glorious name forever!
our Christ stands this hour pointing to the
hospital, or to the asylum, saying: “I was
sick and ye gave me a couch, I was lame and
ye gave me a crutch, 1 was blind and ye
physicianed my eyesight, I was orphaned
and ye mothered my soul, 1 was lost on the
mountains and ye brought me home; inas
much as ye did it to one of t; • Vast of these,
ye did it to me.”
But I thank God that this plague of infi
delity will be stayed. Many of those who
hear mo now by tho Holy Ghost upon their
hearts will cease to be scoffers and will be
come disciples, and the day will arrive when
all nations will accept the Scriptures. The
book is going to keep right on until the fires
of the last day are kindled. Some of them
will begin on one side and some on the other
side of the old book. They will not find a
bundle of loose manuscripts easily consumed
like tinder thrown into the fire. When the
fires of the last day are kindled, some will
burn on this side, from Genesis toward
Revelation, and others will burn on this
side, from Revelation toward Genesis, and in
all their way they will not find a single
chapter or a single verse out of place. That
will be the first time we can afford to do
without the Bible.
What will be the use of the book of Gen
esis, descriptive of how this world was uia le,
when the world is dHttr<»ycd v What will be
tho use of tho prophecies when they are all
fulfilled? What will be the use of the
evangelistic or Pauline description of Jesus
Christ when we see Him face to face? What
will be the use of Ilis photograph when wo
have met Him in glory? what will be the
use of the book of Revelation, standing as

•ud the ancient Romans called ever-
dripping Ireland “Hibernia”—the land
of | crpctual winter. Hut the experience
that raiu in winter is tho only alternative
of snow expresses a rule with notable ex
ceptions. It holds good in many parts
of tropical Australia ami all over the
Stste of California, but in southern
Mexico, eastern South America, and near
ilie southeastern extremity of our own
territory the heaviest rains come from
June to October, and winter is, in fact,
the dryest acasou of tho year. In
southern Florida, for instance, the aver
age rainfall in November is only two
inches, in January three; while in July
lie aggregate often exceeds twelve and
ourtceu inches. In Punta Gorda three
uccessive weeks of perfectly dry days is
>thiug unusual at Christinas.—Jkl/urd.

THE HISTORY OF BEARDS.
CHANGES AND FASHIONS IN THE
HIRSUTE APPENDAGE.
Sonictliip’* ISftrnrilrrt ns a Mark of
Kerrituiic, mid at Ollier Tillies as
a Bails*! of LiHierly.
BrardS have had rt most eventful his
tory. At one time they were coilsidered
a distinctive b;idyc of old a^e and wis
dom, none but those of advanced a^t
and philosophers being permitted lo
wear them. Afterward they came to be
looked upon as one of the requisites of
manly beauty. Then both old and
youn" vied with each other in cultivat
in'; luxurious specimens. The inhabit
ants of what is now called Germany wore
lon^ beards, ns did id«o the Lombards, or
Lsrgobards, df Italy, front which Circum
stance they took their name. Otha’s
beard was lamed for ils lem;tb, ami his
most solemn oaths '•.ire taken upon it.
Scipio Afiicanus, one of the most
famous of the warriors of ancient Rome,
who secintd to erne little for tin fiats of
fashion, ventured the bold experiment of
ehavin" off his beard. Ilis example was
immediately followed by all of his coun
trymen. Slaves and servants alone were
commanded, under pair, of severe pun
ishment, to wiar beards, and thus the
adornment deecndid from the high rank
of being a b;oi;(c of honor and became
the distinctive feature of the lowest
menials. It was not until the accession
of Hadrian that it was restored to its
original pest of honor, and the slave
again became known by its absence from
their faces. This Emperor's reason for
resurrecting the old fashion was that in
order to cover up some very disfiguring
sears ou his chin it was absolutely neces
sary for him to cultivate the growth of a
beard.
Prior to the time of Alexander the
Great, the L'recks wore full beards, but
that monarch required his soldiers to
shave so that their enemies could not
grasp them by that appendage during
battle, a very ordinary proceeding iu
those days in a hand-to-hand contiict.
In the early days of Franco a beard
was considered a badge of liberty, and
great care was bestowed upon it, the
possessor of n long curly beard being
looked upon with envy by his less-favored
brethren. Ti c pious monks and friar-
regarded this as a mark of frivolity and
shaved off their beards. The Bishop ol
Koueu, espousing their cause, hurled in
vectives from the pulpit at the cuslotr
of wearing them, lie so impressed hun
dreds of the religious-minded that they
immediately followed the priesly ex
ample. Many, however failed to do so
and, as a consequence, there existed ii
numerous localities two factions—th(
smooth-faced and tiic bearded—and many
bloody meetings occurred between them
In fact, these conflicts became so genera
and sanguinary that Louis VII., iu ordei
to bring about peace, removed his beard
and thus for a time settled the vexet
question, “To shave or not to shave.”
This marked another period in the
downfall of the beard, ami it quickly
came into disrepute. Persons elected to
the office of magistrate, or who desirec
to become members of Parliament, wen
not allowed to assume their positions un
less their chins were clean shaven. Tim!
it was that many a beard, but a shori
time before the pride of its wearer, fcl!
before the ruthless edict of fashion. It
the case of petty magistrates, however,
an exception was made and they were al
lowed to retain this facial ornament.
It was not until 109 years later that it
again become fashionable, and for the
self-same reason as that which caused its
restoration iu the days of Hadrian.
Francis I. received a disfiguring cut on
his chiu which precluded shaving, and
to conceal tho scar he was compelled to
allow his beard to grow.
Louis XIII. became King at the agt
1ft nine, and, as a matter of course, was
beardless. His wily courtiers, desiring
to show their allegiance and respect, im
mediately scraped their chins and aga'n
the beard was relegated to obscurity.
They did not, however, sacrifice al. ol
this hirsute adornment, but grew Mus
taches and a small tuft of hair under the
lower lip. This was also done when
Philip V ascended the Spanish throne
The early history of the rise and fall
of the beard in England is somewhat
similar to that nleady detailed, am! dur
ing the reign of tjuceu Elizabeth long
beards were inteidieted by statute. Tinea
who had the temerity to wear one ol
“above a fortnight's growth” were lined
and lost many of tiieir privileges. This
state of affairs lan d one year; then
fashion proved triumphant, and the
odious law was repealed.
Peter the Great rendered himselt very
unpopular by levy a tax ou beards, re
quiritig any nobleman, gentleman.trades
man or artisan wearing one to pay 19tl
roubles for the luxury, if any member
of the lower elas-es affected one he wa-
taxed one copeck and compelled to pay
it to a regularly appointed collector.
Upon refusal or dereliction the beard
was summarily removed by a public bar
ber, who often performed the operation
with a dull razor in the public street,
surrounded by a throng of indignant
friends of the victim. .Many of those
who could uot afford to pay for tin
maintenance of such an expensive ap
peudage, reluctantly parted with it, and
in numerous instances preserved tin
severed beard with tire greatest care, di
reeling that it should be placed in then
coffins at the time of their decease. Thi>
custom was also observed by the Jew!
of the olden time.
Among the Turks,Persians, Arabs and
Mohammedans the removal of the beard
always was and is still looked upsu as i
mark of degradation. In ancient Egypt
tire men were smooth-faced except ir
time of mourning, when they allowed
their beards to grow,as a distinctive sign
of grief.
The orthodox Jews of the present day
still cling to the mourning customs of
their forefathers, and for thirty days
neither trim nor cut their beards.
In America, no edict has ever been is
sued cither for or against beards, it be
ing left to the individual taste whethet
or not to cultivate this adornment. Thf
great majority of men who became prom
inently identified with the early history
of America were smooth-shaven, but at
present time the fashion among om
statesmen and other noted personages is
to cultivate, if possible, luxuriant mus
taches or beards.—Detroit Fret Fret*.

One by one the fictions of the alcohol so
