ILGENCES DAY SERMON. i s tie Ch 'rue* r L f-.'s (.rent Kev. Dr. J. Wil- i popular of out J preached a more ermon than the Si?r?e From Sin." "In the tombs. If with stones."' You a.e doubtless famihar with this New Testament chanter in which our Lord is represented as having power over devils, disease and death. Over devils when He cast out the evil spirits from the man in the tombs, finding enough iu him to fill i herd of swine, and enough swine to fill the sea. as an old preacher r.<**d to say; over disease? when He heaied th* J woman who had faith enough to touch j His garment's hem. and power over death when He stands at the home of Jairus end ( his little daughter to awake and restores her to her weeping parents. It is a comforting chapter in the light of the fact that ue is the same yesterday, to- j dr.v and forever. J In sjieaking of "the sinfulness of sin" I desire to present it at. this time in its effect upon the mind. Insanity has been described as a chronic disease of the brain inducing chronic disorder of the mental condition, yet there is a sense in which the fevered uatient in his delirium and the drunkard in his excitement or stupor is insane. There arc two kinds of insanity, first, congenital, or that which is inherited where brain development is arrested. Second. acquired, or that in which the brain is born healthy, but has suffered from morbid processes affecting it primarily, diseased states of the general system inibiicstinir it secondarily. In our treatment of this theme I have to do with both of the?e, for in the first we see how the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children ur.to the third and fourth generations, while in the second we behold an exhibition of that insanity of sin which is due to individual excesses or the breaking of God's laws. The Bible is full of illustrations. It is not necessw that I should go to an institution to find men who are insane. I?tnrn to the pages of this old book and Jfad the story of Nebuchadnezzar, the Ming. Now you see hint on his hands and ^nees eating grass, and his nails arc like birds' claws and his hair like eagles' feathers. Yet as we read we find he lifted his e'-es to heaven and God set him free. There is rot less for a man in this City of New Yo-k?no matter what his bondage? if he will but lift his eyes up he may be free. Then we turn to I. Samuel, second chapter. and we see the man who wrote the 'rwenty-rhird Psalm. David playing the fool before the man of whom he_ was afraid, crouching upon the sides of the door on?is and becoming disgusting. In the tenth chapter of Exodus we read the sto*\v of the roan who was the king? whose face T had the privilege of seeing as a mummy in Egypt?the man who said. 4'J will let the people go now if you will take away the swarm of flies?if vou will take away the frogs." And the frogs were taken away, and the flies, and he did not let them go. for God hardened his heart?an insane man. but not more insane than the man who has promised ever since be was a child that he would he a Christian ard give up sin. and is still its slave. Turn to the New Testament, and here we find the nieture of the orodigal. When he came to himself?when he was not himself he was satisfied with swine, so long as he had forgotten his father and his mother, whom tradition says he killed, he was satisfied, but when he came to himself he was not. Ah. the young man, with the memory of a sweet mother back in Ohio, who has stepped into the evil of cin in Vpvv Vnrlr nnil inmprl liic uop away from Christ. be is insane. Tt is the hope of the minister and the prayer of at least one hundred reople in this church that during this series of meetings some of these vonng men may conic to themselves, and then come to Christ. i. T have been going through the institutions. where I have had the privilege of looking upon the insane people confined there, and I have found out the following: First, many people arc insane because the sins of their parents, llesults of Wrime on future generations. V At the recent meeting of the Congress oWCrimiual Anthropology at Geneva, S/BWjWrland, Dr. Legrain, physician-in./hief of the asylum of Ville-Kvrard. gave the results of his investigation, which extended over a period of years and showed how sin, like disease, is transmitted from drunken father to appetite enslaved son: how in such soil the seeds of crime and madness develop and ripen in the last generation into sterile idiocy and the extinction of the race. First Generation. He traced the course of four generations of drinkers in 215 families. One hundred and sixty-eight families showed umnistak ab.e symptoms of degeneracy; sixty-three cases of mild insanity; eighty-eizht were mentally uftsound; forty-five at times dangerously insane; many of the children were weaklings and died at an early age, six out of eight in one case, ten out of sixteen in another. These six latter who remained were all feeble minded and had epileptic tits and a prey to evil instincts. Thirty-nine families found convulsions; epilepsy in fifty-two; hysteria in sixteen: meningitis in five; 108 families out of the 215 counted one out of every two individuals victims of periodical alcoholic delirium; 106 families of the 215 insanity had developed. Second Generation. Ninety-eight observations gave the following: Fifty-four families had one or more members who were imbeciles or idiots; twenty-three families there were those who were morally irresponsible, untimely births, ^ extraordinary mortality and hereditary diseases caused the children to die in appalling numbers. At this stage fathers and mothers had become common drunkards with bul eight exceptions. In forty-two families he found chronic cases of convulsions, and epilepsy in forty. In twenty-three families insanity exists. Third Generation. Seven observations, or families, gave him a total of seventeen children; all were mentally unsound and physically ^stunted: two were insane, four subject to convulsions, two epdepsv, two hysteria, ''one meningitis, three scrofula. JSumming up me si* cases iouna in xne 215 families he found 32.2 per cent, were alcoholics, 60.9 per cent, are degenerates. 13.9 per cent, morally irresponsible, 22.7 per cent, have convulsions, nineteen per cent, are incurably insane; 174 disappeared from this wor'd before or almost before hiving drawn their first breath; ninety-three cases of tuberculosis, which bring the total of those who died from hereditary alcoholism up to one-third. The-e is no fifth generation, for the last line is a microcephalous idiot. Thus Moses wai right, as proven by science, when he said, "God visits the iniquities of the parents unto the third and fourth neni.ation of them tha. hate Him." There % is no fifth. Sin is an awful thing. If I could uncover it so {hat some of you could see if you wouldy&nuk back from it as yoa would a man who is a leper. TBre arfr very many pcopie who are inover work. It is the tendency Permit me to read tcr you an editorial given m one of our recent paper.:: "Never v.as there such a craze for speculation as our age presents. Young and old more or less feel its force. Slow gains are discounted. Stock gambling is patronized and recognized to an alarming extent. The speculating spirit is rife in all directions and in all ways. Those who cannot ren* an otiice in Wall Street patronize the bucket ?liop and curbstone brokers. The tricks of trade are mastered, and fortune j hunting is pursued with avidity, llisks , Rre lucunt'll <1IIU |U IU? iptC !<miiriiv? the haute to become rich, (iresit syndicates are formed day by day and tlieli luring baits temi?t many people. Litl'c savings are insured ample profits. Trade is becoming largely speculative. Old-fashioned business methods and ideals are passing away, and much is being sacrificed fo more rapid modes of enrichment. Some succeed, but the larger number fall in their ventures. Fortunes are lost as well as won. Money changes hands, and thousands suffer where hundreds gain. Wrecks of characters lie all along the pathway of speculation. In all ranks and grades of so.'ie'.y are found the victims of wild, ie?h'c-s gambling. (freed of wealth is becoming too much an American vice. Its allurements are proving too strong for our bright, energetic and ambitious young men, and there is a ca'l for a steadier, wise, and sr.'*r spirit in business affairs." Second, there are many people insane todr.v because of self-indulgence, the lack of self-restraint. Self-indulgence ruins men.* self-denial makes them; self-indulgence sells a man's birthright for a mess of pottage. and he tries to get it again only to find that it is inporsible; self-denial make* one to be possessed of increasing strength; self-indirgcr.ee led Belshazzar on until we find hint in the centre of the feast where the fingers of a man's hand write upon the wall, '"Weighted in the balances and found wanting." and the same thing is true to-day, it is the lack of self-restra.nt that has made many a man to lose his soul. Dr. Talmage tells of the man whom he saw on the shores of a lake in Scotland creeping out from under the hull of rtn old wrecked vessel and lifting up his hands tremblingly said. "Please, sir. will you give me a penny?" "For what?" said the minister. The answer was, "For strong drink." Dr. Talmagc said to nun. 1 am a minister aim i i-anum give you the money for that, hut I will litln vou. What is your name?" and he said the man buried his face in his hands, shook with emotion, and then finally said. "Mv name is"?and he sobbed it out. "Why," said Dr. Taimage. "I knew a man by that name in Edinburgh, a i>roniinont merchant; did you know him?" "God pity me, sir," said he. "I am that man: sin slew me. and I am here; jnv wife is dead, my children are in the noor house and I am on my way to hell." What a warning for every man who gives way in the least to sin. There are many men in the insane institutions to-day because of self-indulgence and lack of self-restraint. Who was it that said. "Detter is he that ru'etli his snirit than he that taketh a city?" Why. if a man could only take a city what a hero lie would be' The word of flod says that every man mr.v he greater than he that taketh a city if he will rale his own spirit. Self-indulgence ruins, self-denial makes men. Self-indulgence sells a man's birthright for less than a mess of pottage. Re not deceived. God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows that shall he reap. 1 came across one young man in the insane asylum who came from one of the first families in the country. There is not a man better born than he. He had everything that money could buy. Not only was he lacking in self-restraint himself, but bis people were lacking in self-restraint. If the boy desired to go to school lie was at liberty to go; if he preferred not to go to school he could stay at home. After a while there came a defect in the brain: after a little while it was incanitv cKiit nmv hp is in an insane asylum. I heard him sav. "Will you permit me to go to father and mother?" "Certainly, certainly," the keeper said. "He will never go. lie will never be rtadv to go. He rises in the morning, then he falls back on his cot: he begins to dress and then steps: he will just about be ready to-night; to-morrow morning he will have the delusion again. He never quite pets up to his desire. That is his mania." There is many a boy, possibly in our church, whose home atmosphere is like that, and >t is a most dangerous one. I do not know that the fathers were strict enough. I do not think my father was too strict. In my boyhood's home life was the forming of my character. I should like to hold up to every hoy and everv young man the highest ideals of manhood, and I ask you to take Christ. Third, there are very many people mentally unbalanced to-day because of some hallucination. A poor woman cried out as I passed alone through the wards of the institution. "Doctor. I am burning up; if I could only have a breath of fresh air I would feel perfectly well again." A man who used to he a leader of society was actually burrowing in the ground like an animal, all the dignity of his manhood gone, and the woman who was once the pride of her home a mental wreck, and when I said to the doctor "What is it that causes this?" his answer was. "It is sin in very many cases." I know very well that thpre are many who are insane because of inherited tendency and some because of over work, their poor overstrained nerves h ive given wav, but I have seen a countless number in these latter days insane hecause of sin. and it is against this that 1 erv out. II. There is a hind of insanity in the position which men occupy with regard to being Christians. First, let us suppose a case of sickness where the patient gradually grows worse, the temperature is high, the pulse is rapid, the heart is entirely wrong, the skin is dried and parched, the case is critical, a cure mast come quickly or not at all, and you go to the afflicted one and propose a cure because your disease was the same and you have been cured. Suppose the patient should remark, "I do not feel that this remedy will cure me, after a while I will try it." Possibly that is a specie of insanity, but suppose he declares that he will wait until he grows better and the disease has practically left him; in this, too, he is insane. But suppose he tells you that he cannot understand how the remedy would cure him, and that until he can comnrehend it he will not accent it. Could anything he more insane than such a position? Or suppose he should say, "I would take it. but I know one who tried it and failed." I ask you, is not this a species of insanity? Second, what would you say concerning the position of ?uch a sick man? I know what you would say. You would look at him and say, "Poor man; he is insane; feelings have nothing to do with the matter; you cannot grow better without a remedy. The doctor understands the case and you do not need to understand it." This is what you would say, but I know thousands of people who are away from Christ ami staying away-from Him for these very reasons Some years ago a young man threw himself into the nver from a steamboat, and at once the cry of "Mm overboard!" startled all the passengers. They threw back the searchlight in the darkness of the night and could see that lie v.as sinking, but suddenly some one threw him a rope, and a cheer went un beeau-e he hr.d caught hold of it. He drew the rope toward him until at last they saw him lift himself oui cf the wrier and then throw it as far as he could and go down beneath the waves. He was an jnsane man, having escaped from his keepers, but the man who rejects Christ, it would etcm to me, is mbrai insane, for he has turned away froyi the only cure for sin and rejected the only hope of heaven. III. C There is a beginning to all of this. Have you heard the old fable of the ring, valuable because of its "old. to be sure, but * that was not all? Whenever its wearer I steoned wron? the ring pre??ed his finger f and lr- would ?iep right again. It was a fable of something that is true. That ling is conse:ence. There is many a man in 0 my audience whose consciousness of sin I five years ago kent him from cil. Mac- e bet", or.e of Shaxesoeare's characters. . having committed murder says: "Will ail - ?1?' u.,.? k..J. s tr-far M'pnint* s tn-rmi ipihc 1111........r. ' Van?" And. lifting them up. cries: l "These hands will make the very sea red." j I sneak to some young men in this church whose conscience is stiil working. Von can put your hands over vour eves P and there is before vou the face of a g sweet mother, who said to you: "My bov. it is a very wicked world. I am afraid for you without a mother's presence." f Yon have a memory of that mother. Your c conscience is saving. "You had hetter give up that sin." God keep you from it. There ate special sins which I should like to suggest this evening in closing. I ? reed not sneak of the sin of drunkenness, t You havn heard of it this evening. John Vt Gough used to say. "God forgive me. I do not speak it boastingiy. Five years a of mv life were a dark blot. I know what the burning appetite for stimulants is. I have felt its woes and I have seen it in ] nanv men who have died the drunkard's dp.ath hut as God is mv witness. I sav. take awav from me the friends of my old 1 age. let the hut of poverty he mv dwelling place, let me walk in the storm and live in the whirlwind, when I do good let evil t come upon inc. and the shouts of my ene- t rnies an the sound of many waters, do all this. 0 merciful God. hut snare me from . the death of a drunkard." I beseech you. if conscience appeals to von now that you yield at once to its teachings. Charles the Ninth nRer the massacre of St. llarthoVmew said to the doctor. "I am f?vered in body and mind; oh. if T had only spared the innocent, the preachers and the children." Rousseau declared in o!d age that j the sins committed in hi< youth ?ave him sleepless nights. Richard tlm Third having s'ain his two neohews in the tower 1 would sometimes in th" night soring from J his conch and touch his sword as if to PVht the demons coming tin against him. i All th'.s was o-soifnee. In the name of God do not stifle its voice and reject its warning. I should like to say a special word to th? boys. I have the memory to-night of , a hoy who told urn that he had left his father's home and his father's emptor he- 1 l.? U?.l V <IU9C lit* ll/iu UCVit'l iu iiiuiki iiuiii him. and the habit, ind :-o grown upon j him that it \va? immiscible for him to resist. "I bean." said he. "with a pen^v; ' mv ^ast tlmft was 85 at a sine'e t:me. Oh. 1 sir." said he. "do yon think Cr' wi" for- j i give me if T confers it to my fa*hcr?" Tt is a mistake to sten aside the least in a i life of sin and I call upon the boys to turn I smarely about. I remember the man of whom thev told me his mania was that h? con'd not for- | ret. This man eou'd rot forget. nor do T think v.e can forget. There is fain with the mark of murder. He cannot fo-get. 1 There is Pilate, with the memo-y of .Tesrs before him and lvs hand* rod wi-h His b'ood. He cannot forget. Judas, with the clinking of the thirty pieces oe silve-. he o.annot forget. Abraham, looking down into the denths. says. "Son, rememher." When Richard Cour de T/eon was a prisoner the people could not tell where he was. The ?*ry went up. "Where is the king?" An old musician said. "I will find N him." And so to every penal institution he made his wav and played the tune of Richard Cour de Leon. After a while there came a fluttering sign that Richard de Leon heard. I wish I could awaken | the memories of your boyhood. I wish every man here could remember his mother and father, the old minister and the qjusic of the chime, "Delay not. Delay 1 not. 0 sinner draw nigh." They told me that, sometimes in the minds of the poor j people who are insane there will come a streak of light, a little prophecy of hope. 1 i I have an idea in every man's soul there has been such a ray of hone from heaven. Vqu can be a Christian if you will. Cod help you to he a free man. - - ^ . * _ .. i I.ove For Cod. -* ' Praver becomes a necessity when wc know what God's love for us means. To ' ( read the story, as the Bible tells it, of | , the love which made the world and man. i j and of the love which sent God to live anc! : . die on earth for i:s; to go over the years of j living and see how goodness and mercy j have followed all the days; to pick out: ' the blessings till they grow into glowing j clouds always hovering over the human j experience?these show the divine love so ! mightily that one cannot keep away from the contemplation!

Prayer?why we cannot help loving then! The very life is a praver, a clinging, delighted gazing into a Face which knows no turning, a holding to the Hand which never loosens its grasp, a speaking to a Father whose ' one great desire is the child's happiness.

At the end of the j hour he made a dot at the day of the i month on a calendar near him. and Erayed for help for the next hour. So the i ,c d carried him through the day, and so he exnected the Lord to carry him through his life. Eyerv Min'i Duty. "Doing as well as we know how" is better than not doing even as well as that. But doing as well as we know how is not enough, unless we know just what is right, and then do that. God's commands . are positive and exact. We are told to do J this, or not to do that.
