THE FOES WE FACE. THE SINS THAT BESET THE END OF THE CENTURY. Oo«i Come* Before Man, Sava Dr. Tai-' m»jr The Prevalence of Hluphcmy. The Sine of City Life—And the Final Judgment. JCopyright, IS9B. by American Preen Asso ciation.) Washington, Sept. 18.—This arousing Slsoiurse t»y Dr. Tidningo will excite inter est by the manner in which it assails some of the groat evils now abroad. The sub- Jexst is “Enemies Overthrown,” and the text Psalms Ixviii, 1. God arise, let his enemies ls> scattered.” A prisiession was formed to carry the ark, or wkthl box, which, though only 3 feet W inches in length and 4 feet 3 inches In height and depth, wax the symbol of God’s presence. As the leaders of the pro cession lift<«l this ornamented and bril liant tex by two golden poles run through four golden rings and started for Mount Zion uil the people chanted the bat tie hymn of my text, 'let God arise, let his ene- I mies Im> scattered. ” The Cameronians of Scotland, outraged ' by James I, who forced m*»n them reli gions forms that were off! naive, and by the terrible persecution of Drummond, Dalz.iel and Turner, ami by the oppre- -ive lawn of Charles 1 and Charles 11, were driven to proclaim war against tyrants and went forth U> fight for their religious lllsTty, and the mountain heather became red with carnage, and at Bothwell bridge ami Aird’s Moss and Drumclog the battle hymn and the battle shout of those glo rious old Scotchmen was the text I have shown, “Let God arise, let his enemiesJxt Mattered.” What a whirlwind of power was Oliver Cromwell, and how with his soldiers, named the “Ironsides,” he went, from vic tory to victory! Opposing enemies melted as he 10010 dat them, lie dismissed jiar llamont as easily as a schoolmaster a echo'll. lie pointed his finger at Berkeley castle, and it was taken. He ordered Sir Ralph Hopton, the general, to dismount, ami he dismounted. See Cromwell march ing on with his army ami hear the battle cry of the “Ironsides,” loud as a storm and solemn as a deathknell, standards reeling before it ami cavalry horses going back on their haunches, and armies Hying at Marston Moor, nt Wlnceby Field, at N'uscby, nt Bridgewater and Dartmouth— •‘l*>t God arise, let his enemies be scat tered I" Wlmt Battlecry? So you see my text is not like a compli mentary and tasseled sword that you some times see hung up In n parlor, a sword that was never in battle and only to be used on general training day, but more like some weapon carefully hung up in your home, telling its story of battles, for my text hnngs in the Scripture armory, telling of the holy wars of 3,000 years in with h it has been carried, but still as keen and mighty ns when David first unsheath ed It It He'itis to mo that in tho church of God, and in all styles of reformatory work, what we most need now is a battle cry. Wo raise our little standard and put on it the name of some man who only a tow years ago began to live and in a few years will cease to live. We go into con test against the armies of iniquity, de pending too much on human agencies. We use for a battlecry tho name of some brave Christian reformer, but after awhile that reformer dies or gets old or loses his cour age, and then we take another battlecry, and this time perhaps we put, the name of some one who lietrays the cause ami sells out to tlje enemy What we want for a battlecry is the name of some leader who will never betray us and will never sur render, and will never die. All respect have 1 for brave men and women, but if wo are to get the victory all along the line wo must take the bint of tho (lideonites, who w ipod out tho Bedouin Arabs. commonly called Midianitcs. These Gideon ites had a glorious leader in Gideon, but what was tho battlecry with which they Hung their enemies into the worst, defeat, into which any army was ever tumbled? It was, “The sword of the Lord mid or Gideon.” Put God first, who ever you put second If the army of tho American Revolution is to free America, it must, be, “The sword of the Isjrd and of Washington." If the Germans want to win the day at Sedan, it uui-t be ' The nword of tho Ijord and Von Mollkc.” Wa terloo was won for the English because not only the armed men at the front, but the worshipers in the cathedrals at the rear, were crying. “The sword of the Ix>rd and of Wellington.” God l irnt- The Methodists have pone in triumph across nation after tuition with thecry, “The sword of the Lord and of Wesley The Presbyterians have gone from victory to victory with theory. “The sword of the Lord and of John Knox.” The Baptis's have conquered millions after millions for (’hrist with the cry, “The swe .l of the liord and of Judson." Thu Arne, '' in I j is eopalians have won their might way with tin'cry, “The sword of tie I.( "d and of Bishop M'Hvaine.” The victory istothose who put tied iirst Bid, aswewant a bat tlecry suited toall scctsof religionist sand to all lands, I nominate as the battlecry of Christendom in the approaching Arma geddon tho words of my text, sounded be fore tin? ark as it was carried to Mount Zion. ‘i jet God arise; let his encmiek be scattered As far as our finite mind can judge.lt reams about time for tied to rise Does it not scent to you that the abominations of this emth have go.:e far enough? Was there over a time when sin was so defiant.? Were there ever before so many lists lifted toward God, telling him to come on if he dan.*? Look at the blasphemy abroad! What towering profanity! Mould it be possible for any one to calculate the num bers of times that the name of the Al mighty God and of Jesus Christ are every •lay taken irreverently on the lips? Pro sane swearing is us much forbidden by tho law ns theft or arson or murder ret who executes it? Profanity is worse ttin.ii theft, or arson or murder. for these crimes are attacks on humanity; that is an attack on God. • The Cnruer Cursed. This country is pre-eminent for blas phemy. A man traveling in Russia was supposed to be a clergyman. “Wbydo you take me to be a clergyman?” said the man. "Oh,” said the Russian, “all other Amer icans swear. ” Tho crime is multiplying in intensity. God very often shows what he thinks of it, but for the most part the fatality is hushed up. Among the Adiron daeks I mot the funeral procession of a man who two days before had fallen under a flash of lightning while boasting after a Sunday of work in the fields that he had cheated God out of one day anyhow, and the man who worked with him on the •ame Sabbath is still living, but a helpless invalid under the same Hash. Years ago in a Pittsburg prison two men were talking alnnit the Bible and Christianity, and one of them, Thompson by name, applied to Jesus Christ a very low and villainous epithet, and as he was uttering it hi fell. A physician was called, bu sno help could be given. After a day lying with distended pupils and palsied tongue he passed out of this world. In a cemetery in Sullivan county, in New York state, are eight headstones in a line and all alike, and these are the facts; In 1861 diphtheria raged in the village, and a physician was remarkably successful in curing his patients. So confident did he become that he boasted that, no case of diphtheria could stand before him and finally defied Almighty God to produce a case of diphtheria that he could not cure. His youngest child soon after took the disease and died and one child after an other until all the eight had died of diph theria. The blasphemer challenged Al mighty God. and God accepted the chal lenge. Do not think that because Got! has been silent in your case, O profane swear er, that he is dead. Is there nothing now in the peculiar feeling of your tongue or nothing in the numbness of your brain that indicates that God may come to avenge your blasphemies or is already avenging them? But these cases I have noticed, I believe, are only a few cases where there are hundreds Families keep them quiet to avoid the horrible conspicu ity. Physicians suppress them through professional confidence. It is a very, very, very long roll that contains the names of those who died with blasphemies 0D their lips. Still the crime rolls on. up through par lor:-. up through chandeliers with lights all ablaze and through the pictured cor ridors of clubrooms, out through busy ex changes. where oath meets oath, and down through all the haunts of sin, mingling with the rattling dice and crackling bil liard balls, and the laughter of her who hath forgotten the covenant of her God, and round the city and round the conti nent and round the earth a seething, boil ing surge flings its hot spray into the face of a long suffering God, and the ship captain curses his crew, and the master builder his men, and the hack driver his h r=e, and the traveler the stone that brut st -» his foot or the mud that soils his shoes, or the defective timepiece that gets him too late to the rail train. I arraign profane swearing and blasphemy, two names for tho same thing, as being one of the gigantic crimes of this land, and for its extirpation it does seem as if it were about time for God to arise. The Day of Drink. Then look for a moment at the evil of drunkeo'<->-s Whether you live in Wash ingion or ,\ew York or Chicago or Cin cinnati or Savannah or Boston or in any of the cities of this land, count up the sa loons on that street as compared with the saloons five years ago. and see they are growing far out of proportion to the in crease of tho population. You people who an so precise and particular lest there should ix some imprudence and rashness in attacking the rum traffic will have your son sow' night pitched into your front door deed drunk, or your daughter will come home with her children because her Lusha ,d has by strong drink been turned into a demoniac. The drink fiend has de spoiled wh'Ji streets of good homes in all our cities Fathers, brothers, sons on the fune’-al pyre of strong drink! Fasten tighter the victims! Stir up the flames! iileon the corpses! More men, women and children for the sacrifice! Let us have whole gen* rations on fire of evil habit, and at th • sound of the cornet, flute, harp, eicl.l.tit, psalit ry and dulcimer let all the p- [,!c fall down and worship King Alco hol, or y-- i! -bull l.< east into the lii.ry fur nave under some jstlitical platform I 1 iii'liet this ( ,il as the regicide, tho fratrici le, the patricide, the matricide, tho uxoricide, of the century. Yet under what inn. < ent and delusive and mirthful names alcoholism deceives tin people! It is a “cordial.” It is “bitters.” It is an “eye opemr.” It is an “appetizer.” It is a “digester.” It is an “invigorator.” It is a *■ set,:.'er." It is a “nightcap.” Why don’t, they put on tho right labels—“ E ssence of Perdition,” “Conscience Stupe fler, ” “Five Drams of Heartache,” “Tears of Orphanage,” ‘‘Blood of Souls,” •‘Scabs of an Eternal Leprosy,” “Venom of the Worm That Never Dies?” Only once in luvhile is there anything in the title of liquois to even hint their atrocity, a- in the case of “sour mash.” That I see advertised al! over It is an honest name and any < :ie can understand it. “Sour mn.-'h!” That is, it makes a man’sdisposi tlon sour, and his associations sour, and his prospects sour, and then it is good to mash his body, and mash his soul, and mash his business, and inash his family. “Sour mash I" One honest name at last for an intoxicant! But through lying la bels of many of the apothecaries’ shops, good people, who are only a little under tone in health and wanting some invigo ration, have unwittingly got on their tongue the fangs of this cobra that stings to death so large a ratio of tho human race. The Deadly Cup. Others are ruined by the common and all destructive ha!(it of treating custom ers. And it Is a treat on their coming to town, and a treat- while tho bargaining progresses, and a treat when the purchase is made, and a treat as ho leaves town. Others, to drown their troubles, submerge themselves with this worse trouble. Oh, t he world is battered and bruised and blast ed with this growing evil! Itisnioreand more intrenched and fortified. They have millions of dollars subscribed to marshal and advance tho alcoholic forces. They nominate ami elect and govern the «ast majority of the officeholders of this coun try On their side they have enlisted the miglitiest bitical power of tho centuries, and behind them stand all the myrmidons of the nether world, satanic, Apollyonio ami diabolic It. is beyond all human ef fort to overt hrow this Bastille of decanters or capture this Gibraltar of rum jugs. And while 1 approve of all human agencies of reform 1 would utterly despair if we had nothing else. But what, cheers me is that our best troops are yet to come. Our chief artillery is in reserve. Our greatest com mander lias not. yet fully taken the field. If all hell is on their side, all heaven is on our side. Xow “ Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered.” Then look at the impurities of these great cit ies Ever and anon there are in the newspapers explosions of social life that make the story of Sodom quite respect able, “for such 1 hings, ” Christ says, “wepe more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah” than for the Chorazins and Bethsaidas of greater light. It is no unusual thing in our cities to see men in high positions with two or three families, or refined ladies willing solemnly to marry the very swine of society if they he wealthy. The Bible ; aflame with denunciation against an impure life, but many of the American ministry uttering not one point blank word against this ini(}uity lest some old libertine throw up his church pew. Ma chinery organized in all the cities of the I Uited States and Canada by which to put yearly in the grinding mill of this iniquity thou* inds of the unsuspecting of the coun try farmhouses, one procuress confessing in the courts that she had supplied the in fernal market with 150 victims in six months. Oh, for 500 newspapers in Amer ica to swing open tho door of this lazar house of social corruption! Exposure must come before ext irpation. The City of Siu. While the city van carries the scum of this sin from the prison to the police court morning by morning it is full time, if we do not want high American life to become like that of the court of Louis XV, to put millionaire Lotharios and the Pompadours of your brownstone palaces into a van of popular indignation and drive them out of n sp<>ctablo associations. What pros pect of siH'ial purification can there be as long as at summer watering places it is usual to see a young woman of excellent rearing stand and simper and giggle and roll up her eyes sideways before one of those iirst class satyrs of fashionable life and on the ballroom floor join him in the dunce, the maternal chaperon meanwhile beaming from the window on the scene? Matches are made In heaven, they say. Not such mutches, for the brimstone indi cates the opposite region. The evil is overshadowing all our cities. By some these immoralities are called pec cadillos gallantries, eccentricities, and are relegated to the realms of jocularity, and few efforts are being made against them. God bh'ss the “White Cross” move ment. as it is called—an organization making a mighty assault on this'evil! God forward tho traess on this subject distrib uted by the religious tract societies of the land! God help parents in the great work they art' doing in trying to start their chil dren with pure principles! God help all legislators in their attempt to prohibit this crime! The Day of Judgment. But is this all? Then it is only a ques tion of time when the last vestige of puri ty and home will vanish out of sight. Hu man arms, human pens, human voices, human talents, are not. sufficient. I begin to look up. I listen for artillery rumbling down the sapphire boulevards of heaven. I watch to see if in the morning light there be not the flash of descending scim iters. Oh, for God! Does it not seem time for his appearance? Is it not time for all lands to cry out. “Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered?” I got a letter asking me if I did not think that the earthquake in one of our cities was the Divine chastisement on that city for its sins. That letter I answered by saving that if all our American cities got all the punishment they deserve for their hort-i Me impurities the earth would long agi. have cracked, opening crevices transcontinental and taken down all our cities so far under that the tip of our church spires would be 500 feet below the surface. It is of the Lord’s mercies that we have not been consumed. Not only are the affairs of this world so a-twist, x-jaugle and racked that there seems a need of the Divine appearance, but there is another reason. Have you not noticed that in the history of this planet God turns ale »f about every 2,000 years? God turned a leaf, and this werld was fit ted for human residence. Alxnt 2,000 more j ars along, and God turned moth« r leaf, ind it was the«lelug»'. About 2,000 more years passed on, and it was the Nativity. Almost 2,000 more years passed by, and ho will probably soon turn anoth er leaf What it shall Ims I cannot say. It may l» the demolition of all these mon - i ru-otics of turpitude and the establish ment of righteousness in all the earth. He • ■an do it. and ho will d > it I am as con fident as if it were already accomplished. How easily he can do it- rny text suggests. It. d'x* not a k God.to hurl a great tbnn derlx.lt of his power, but just to rise from the throne on which Le sits. Only that will be necessary. ‘‘Let God arise!” Redemption. It will be no exertion of omnipotence. It will bo no bending or bracing for a mighty lift. It will be no sending down the sky yf the white horse cavalry of heav en or rumbling war chariots. He will only rise. Now he is sitting in the ma jesty and paticnceof his reign. He is from bis throne watching the mustering of all the forces of blasphemy and drunkenness and impuri y and fraud and Sabbath breaking, and when tl, y have done their worst and are niost surely organized he will lx?stir himself and say; “My enemies have denied me long enough, and their cup of iniquity is full I have given them all op[x>n,unity for rejientance. This dis pensation of patience is ended, and the faith of the good shall bo tried no longer.” And now God begins to rise, and what mountains give way under his right foot I know not; but. standing in the full radi ance and grandeur of his nature, he looks this way and that, and how his enemies are scattered! Blasphemers, white and dumb, reel down to their doom, and those who have trallicked in that which destroys the bodies and souls of men and families will fly with cut foot on the down grade of broken decanters, and the polluters of so iely that did their bad work with large fortunes and high social sphere will over take in their descent the degraded rabble of underground city life as they tumble over the eternal precipices, and the world shall be left clear and clean for the friends of humanity and the worshipers of Al mighty God. The last thorn plucked off, the world will be left a, blooming rose on the bosom of that Christ who came to gar denizo it. The earth that stood snarling with its tigerish passion, thrusting out its raging claws, shall lie down a lamb at the feet of the Lamb of God, who took away the sins of the world. And now the best thing ? can wish for you, and the best thing I can wish for my self, is that we may be found his warm and undisguised and eathi.sij.-tic friends in that hour when God shall rise and hi& enemies shall bo scattered. » Modernizing His Metaphor. A farmer who had lost a son in the wai employed the village poet to write an obit uary, which ran as follows: He for his country fit an font Until Death blowed his candle out. “That won’t do,” said tho bereaved par ent, “kaze they don’t use candles now. Take another whirl at it ” The poet squared his jaws and presently produced the following: He fit an Tout with gun an knife Till Death blowed out the gas of life. “That's better, now,” exclaimed the farmer. “I’ve blowed out tho gas myself a many a time!”—Atlanta Constitution. An Editor’s Mishap. A recent issue of the Hardeman (Tenn.) Free Press contained the following para graph: “We wish to explain our lack of editorial this week. We was down to Mem phis, and a smart Alec at the tavern put tram oil on our greens and said it was vinegar. Os course we were horse dew com ba w for three days, and now that we are able to talk our language is not fit for publication. ” Strange Things in Two States. George and Allen Geiger, of Geneva, caught and killed a monster aligator a few days ago. They found him in a cave and pulled him out with a hook. It was 13 feet 8 inches in length. An industry of Levy county is an aliga tor farm located south of Bronson. It is operated by Rev. Andrew Lynn, and he realized good money from the hides of the old ’gators. The young ones are sold when the price warrants it. Orlando Sentinel: Miss Willie Leigh is the boss fisherman of this season, amongst all Orlandoites who have gone to the coast. This young lady caught a sea bass ■at Ormond lately, weighing ten pounds. She will probably keep the belt until next fishing season. Two young men, John Leader and Will Vassar, have returned to Orlando from a prolonged hunt after alligators. They pen etrated the Okechoobee region, and went to sections not often visited by white men. They were quite successful, bringing in a large number of skins of various sizes. 'Gator hides are becoming somewhat scarce in Florida. A few years more and they will have passed, like the buffalo of the West. The Orlando Reporter is responsible for this: There is a little fellow about 6 years old who comes to town shopping on an ancient horse. The little fellow after completing his purchases, has a peculiar way of renvounting his horse. It is a tall old fellow with an eye about as lustreless as that of a sheep, but it knows its boss, so that when the little fellow goes up to the. horse's head, the animal puts his nose on the ground and the boy jumps astride its neck. The horse then resumes its natural position the boy slips down on its back, and away they go. A Narrow Escape. Thankful words written by Mrs. Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. D. “Was taken with a bad cold which settled on my lungs; cough set in and finally terminated in consumption. Four doctors gave me up, saying I could only live a short time. I gave myself up to my savior, determined if I could not stay with my friends on earth I would meet my absent ones above. My husband was advised to get Dr. King’s New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds. I gave it a trial, taking in all eight bottles. It has cured me, and, thank God.

Their Untiring Efforts in Getting Ammu nition and Rations to the Front Saved the D \y. P. E. Butler, of pack train No. 3. writing from Santiago de Cuba, on July 23d, says: “We all had diarrhoea in more or less violent form, and when we landed we had no time to see a doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush night and day to keep the troops supplied with ammunition and rations, but thanks to Chamberlain's Colic Cholera axid Diarrhoea Remedy, we were able to keep at work and keep our health: in fact, I sincerely believe at one critical time this medicine was the indirect sav iour of our army, for if the packers had been unable to work there would have been no way of getting supplies to the front- There were no roads that a wagon train could use.. My comrade and myself had the good fortune to lay in a supply of this medicine for our pack train before we left Tampa, and I know in four cases it saved life.” The above letter was written to he man ufacturers of this medicine, the Chamber lain Medicine Co., Des Moines, lowa.

The Eastman Times-Journal is in a po litical wrangle in which a woman takes up the cause of Populism. The outcome of the argument is being watched with interest. Reidsville Journal: Some of our Popu list politicians imagine that they are 13- ineh guns in the campaign, but October sth will reveal the fact that they are only firecrackers loaded with gas. The Democrats in Oconee county will not run a candidate for the legislature against the Populist nominee, Mr. W. P. Elder, the Populist nominee, however, will have opposition. Mr. W. W. Price, who, up to two years since, was a Populist, but who is now an Independent, will be 'his opponent. Mr. Price is running as an Inde pendent and will make a good race. Fitzgerald Courier: The address of Gen eral Clement A. Evans to our citizens, on Saturday last, was well received by. all. His remarks to the old soldiers present were applauded. He made the duty of all lovers of good government plain, and poin ted out the grave mistakes always made by any set of men when they arranged for fu sion of any kind. ITaise of the "higbeet was heard on all sides. Douglasville New South: The leaders of the Populist party exjressed themselves al most to a man against the use of money and whisky in elections. This is nothing but right. But how Billy it sounds when we know that they are preparing for the hardest battle in their history, and those two things are essential to success in Douglas politics. They have used it and they will use it again. Watch them and see. Dublin ‘’Dispatch: The Populists in this district want to trade with the colored Republicans by promising to support Wil kinson for Congress in November if the negroes will support the state and county tickets in October. But if the negroes ful fill their part of the contract in October, rwhat assurance from the past have they that the Populists will do their part in No vember? How many postoffices in the Eleventh district have the Populists, in stead of Republicans, got since 1896? The colored people in Georgia know who their white friends are, and they will be sure to vote with the Democrats next month. HOW TO LOOK GOOD. Good looks are really more than skin deep, depending entirely on a healthy con dition of all the vital organs. If the liver is inactive, you have a bilious look; if your stomach is disordered, you have a dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are af fected, you have a pinched look. Secure good health, and you will surely have good looks. “Electric Bitters” is a good Altera tive and Tonic. Acts directly on the stom ach, liver and kidneys, purifies the blood, cures pimples, blotches and boils, and gives a good complexion. Every bottle guaranteed. Sold at H. J.

This terrible disease which the doctors are totally unable to cure, is commrmi rated from one generation to another, inflicting its taint upon countless innocent ones. Some years ago I was inoculated with poison by * nurse who infected my babe with blood taint. The little one was unequal to the struggle, and Its life was yielded up to the fearful poison.
