AT THE TABERNACLE.
A SERMON ADDRESSED TO VOT-
ERS JUST BEFORE ELECTION.
fchc Examples of Nineveh, Babylon, Tyre,
Sidon and Many More Warn U» —This
Nation Is Also Becoming Corrupt and
Licentious—“ Reform Is Necessary.’’
BROOKLYN, Nov. 6. —Rev. Dr. Talmage
today selected for his sermon a subject suf
ficiently appropriate for these times, when
throughout the United States great polit
ical questions are being discussed and the
nation is about to go to the ballot box and
decide who shall rule in the neighborhood,
town, city and nation. The text chosen
was Revelation xviii, 10, “Alas, alas, that
great city Babylon, that mighty city, for
in one hour is thy judgment come!”
Modern scientists are doing a splendid
work in excavating the tomb of a dead em
pire holding in its arms a dead city—moth
er and child of the same name, Babylon.
The ancient mound invites the spades and
shovels and crowbars while the unwashed
natives look on in surprise. These scien
tists find yellow bricks still impressed
with the name of Nebuchadnezzar, and
they go down into the sarcophagus of a
monarchy buried more than two thousand
years ago. May the explorations of Raw
linson and Layard and Chevalier and Op
perto and Loftus and Chesney be eclipsed
by the present archaeological uncovering!
THE AWFUL RUIN.
But is it possible this is all that remains
of Babylon—a city once five times larger
than London and twelve times larger than
New York? Walls three hundred and sev
enty-three feet high and ninety-three feet
thick. Twenty-live burnished gates on
each side, with streets running clear
through to corresponding gates on the oth
er side. Six hundred and twenty-five
squares. More pomp and wealth and splen
dor and sin than could be found in any
five modern cities combined. A city of
palaces and temples'? A. city having within
it a garden on an artificial hill four hun
dred feet high, the sides of the mountain
terraced. All this built to keep the king’s
wife, Amytis, from becoming homesick for
the mountainous region in which she had
spent her girlhood. The waters of the
Euphrates spouted up to irrigate this great
altitude into fruits and fl urs and arbo
rescence unimaginable. A great river run
ning from north to south clear through the
city, bridges over it, tunnels.under it,
boats on it.
A city of bazaars and of market places,
unrivaled for aromatics and unguents, and
high mettled horses with grooms by their
side, and thyme wood, and African ever
green, and Egyptian linen, and all styles
of costly textile fabric, and rarest purples
extracted from shellfish on the Mediter
ranean coast, and rarest scarlets taken
from brilliant insects in Spain, and ivories
brought from successful elephant hunts in
India, and diamonds whose flash was a
repartee to the sun. Fortress within for
tress, embattlement rising above em bat
tlement. Great capital of the ages. But
one night, while honest citizens were
asleep, but all the saloons of saturnalia
were in full blast, and at the king’s castle
they had filled the tankards for the tenth
time, and reeling and guffawing and hic
coughing around the state table were the
rulers of the land, General Cyrus ordered
his besieging army to take shovels and
spades, and they diverted the river from its
usual channel into another direction, so
that the forsaken bed of the river became
the path on which the besieging army en
tered.
When the morning dawned the conquer
ors were inside the outside trenches. Baby
lon had fallen, and hence the sublime
threnody of the text, “Alas, alas, that
great city Babylon, that mighty city, for
in one hour is thy judgment come!” But
do nations die? Oh, yes; there is great
mortality among monarchies and republics.
They are like individuals in the fact that
they are born; they have a middle life; they
have a decease; they have a cradle and a
grave. Some of them are assassinated,
some destroyed by their own hand. Let
me call the roll of some of the dead civiliza
tions and some of the dead cities and let
some one answer for them.
AS FORETOLD BY THE PROPHETS.
Egyptian civilization, stand up. “Dead!”
answer the ruins of Karnak and Luxor, and
from seventy pyramids on the east side of
the Nile there comes up a great chorus, cry
ing, “Dead, dead!” Assyrian empire, stand
up and answer. “Dead!” cry the charred
ruins of Nineveh. After six hundred years
of magnificent opportunity, dead. Israel
itish kingdom, stand up. After two hun
dred and fifty years of divine interposition,
and of miraculous vicissitude, and of heroic
behavior, and of appalling depravity, dead.
Phoenicia, stand up and answer. After in
venting the alphabet and giving it to the
world, and sending out her merchant cara
vans in one direction to central Asia, and
sending out her navigators to the Atlantic
ocean in another direction, dead.
Pillars of Hercules and rocks on which
the Tyrian fisherman dried their nets all
answer, “Dead PHtenicia.” Athens, after
Phidias, after Demosthenes, after Mil
tiades, dead. Sparta, after Leonidas, after
Euribiades, after Salamis, after Ther
mopylae, dead. Roman empire, stand up
and answer—empire once bounded by the
British channel on the north, by the Eu
phrates on the east, by the great Sahara
desert in Africa on the south, by the At
lantic ocean on the west; home of three
great civilizations, owning all the then dis
covered world that was worth owning—
Roman empire, answer. Gibbon in his
‘‘Rise and Fall of the Roman Em
pire” says, “Dead!” and the forsaken
seats of the ruined Coliseum, and
the skeleton of the aqueducts, and
the miasma of the Campagna, and the
fragments of the baths, and the
useless piers of the Bridge Triumphalis,
and the Mamertine prison, holding no more
apostolic prisoners, and the silent Forum
and Basilica of Constantine, and the.arch
of Titus, and the Pantheon come in with
great chorus, crying, “Dead, dead.” After
Horace, after Virgil, after Tacitus, ifter
Cicero death After Horatius on the
bridge, and Cincinnatus, the farmer oli
garch, after Pompey, after Scipio, after
Cassius, after Constantine, after Caesar—
dead. The war eagle of Rome tlew so high
it was blinded by the sun and came whirl
ing down through the heavens, and the
owl of desolation and darkness built its
test in the forsaken eyrie. Mexican em
pire—dead. French empire—dead.
WE, TOO, ARE THREATENED.
You see, my friends, it is no unusual
thing for a government to perish, and in
the same necrology of dead nations and in
the same graveyard of expired govern
ments will go the United States of Ameri
ca unless there be some potent voice to call
a halt, and unless God in his mercy inter
feres, and through a purified ballot box
and a widespread public Christian senti
ment the catastrophe be averted. This na
tion is about to go to the ballot box to ex
ercise the right of suffrage, and I propose
to set before you the evils that threaten to
destroy the American government and to
annihilate American institutions, and if
God will help me I will show you before I
get through the mode in which each and
every one may do something to arrest that
appalling calamity. And I shall plow up
the whole field.
The first evil that threatens the anni
hilation of our American institutions is
the fact that political bribery, which once
was considered a crime, has by many come
to be considered a tolerable virtue. There
is a legitimate use of money in elections,
in the printing of political tracts, and in
the hiring of public halls, and in the ob
taining of campaign oratory, but isothere
PEOPLE’S PARTY PAPER, ATLANTA, GEOk^A,/ECEMfoEwA’’WSdI
any homunculus who supposes that this
vast amount of money now being raised by
the political partiesis going in a legitimate
direction? The vast majority of it will go
to buy votes.
Hundreds and thousands of men will
have set before them so much money for
a Republican vote, and so much money for
a Democratic vote, and the superior finan
cial inducement will decide the action.
You want to know’ which party will carry
the doubtful states day after tomorrow?
I will tell you. The party that spends the
most money. This moment, while I
speak, the peddlers carrying gold from
Wall street, gold from Third street, gold
from State street and gold from the Brew
ers’ association, are in all the political
headquarters of the doubtful states, deal
ing out the infamous inducement.
There used to be bribery; but it held its
head in shame. It was under the utmost
secrecy that many years ago a railroad
company bought up the Wisconsin legis
lature and many other public officials in
that state. The governor of the state at
that time received §50,000 for his signa
ture. His private secretary received $5,000.
0 hirteen members of the senate received
$175,000 among them in bonds. Sixty
members of the other house received from
§5,000 to §IO,OOO each. The lieutenant gov
ernor received §IO,OOO. The clerks of the
house received from §S,OCX) to §IO,OOO each.
The bank comptroller received §IO,OOO.
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars
were divided among the lobbyists. You
see the railroad company was very gen
erous. But all that was hidden, and only
through the severest scrutiny on the part
of a legislative committee was this in
iquity displayed. Now political bribery
defies you, dares you, is arrogant, and will
jirobably decide the election next Tuesday.
A TERRIBLE DANGER.
Unless this diabolism ceases in this coun
try Bartholdi’s statue on Bedloe’s island,
with uplifted torch to light other nations
into the harbor, had better be changed and
the torch dropped as a symbol of universal
incendiarism.
Unless this purchase and sale of suffrage
shall cease the American government will
expire, and you might as well be getting
ready the monument for another dead na
tion and let my text inscribe upon it these
w’ords, “Alas, alas, for Babylon, that great
city, that mighty city, for in one hour is
thy judgment come!” My friends, i's you
have not noticed that political bribery is
one of the ghastly crimes of this day, you
have not kept your eyes open.
Another evil threatening the destruction
of American institutions is the solidifying
of the sections against each other. A solid
north. A solid south. If this goes on we
shall after awhile have a solid east against
a solid west; we shall have solid middle
states against solid northern states; we
shall have a solid New York against a
solid Pennsylvania, and a solid Ohio against
a solid Kentucky. It is twenty-seven
years since the warcloud, and yet at every
presidential election the old antagonism is
aroused. When Garfield died and all the
states gathered around his casket in sym
pathy and in tears, and as hearty telegrams
of condolence came from New Orleans and
Charleston as from Boston and Chicago, I
said to myself, “I think sectionalism is
dead.” But, alas, no! The difficulty will
never be ended until each state of the na
tion is split up into two or three great po
litical parties.
This country cannot exist unless it ex
ists as one body, the national capital, the
heart, sending out through all the arteries
of communication warmth and life to the
very extremities. This nation cannot ex
ist unless it exists as one family, and you
might as well have solid brothers against
solid sisters, and a solid bread tray against
a solid cradle, and a solid nursery against a
solid dining room, and you might as well
have solid ears against solid eyes, and solid
head against solid foot. What is the in
terest of Georgia is the interest of Mas
sachusetts; what is the interest of New
York is the interest of South Carolina.
Does the Ohio river change its politics
w hen it gets below Louisville? It is not
possible for these sectional antagonisms to
continue for a great many years without
permanent compound fracture.
HAS THIS NATION FORGOTTEN GOD?
Another evil threatening the destruction
of our American institutions is the low
state of public morals.
What killed Babylon of my text? What
killed Phoenicia? What killed Rome?
Their own depravity, and the fraud, and
the drunkenness, and the lechery w’hich
have destroyed other nations will destroy
ours unless a merciful God prevent. To
show you the low state of public morals I
have to call your attention to the fact that
many men nominated for offices in differ
ent states at different times are entirely
unfit for the positions for which they have
been nominated.
They have no more qualification for
them than a wolf has qualification to be
professor of pastoral theology in a Hock of
sheep, or a blind mole has qualification to
lecture a class of eagles on optics, or than
a vulture has qualification to chaperon a
dove. The mere pronunciation of some of
their names makes a demand for carbolic
acid and fumigation! Yet Christian men
will follow right on under the political
standards.
I have to tell you what you know al
ready, that American politics have sunken
to such a low’ depth that there is nothing
beneath. What w’e see in some directions
w r e see in nearly all directions. The pecu
lation and the knavery hurled to the sur
face by the explosion of banks and busi
ness firms are only specimens of great Co
topaxis and Strombolis of wickedness that
boil and roar and surge beneath, but have
not yet regurgitated to the surface. When
the heaven descended Democratic party
enacted the Tweed rascality it seemed to
Eclipse everything, but after awhile the
heaven descended Republican party out
witted pandemonium with the star route
infamy.
My friends, we have in this country people
who say the marriage institution amounts
to nothing. They scoff at it. We have
people walking in polite parlors in our day
W’ho are not good enough to be scavengers
in Sodom! I went over to San Francisco ten
or fifteen years ago—that beautiful city,
that queen of the Pacific. May the bless
ing of God come down upon her great
churches and her noble men and women!
When I got into the city of San Francisco
the mayor of the city and the president of
the board of health called on me and in
sisted that I go and see the Chinese quar
ter, no doubt so that on my return to the
Atlantic coast I might tell what dreadful
people the Chinese are.
But on the last night of my stay in San
Francisco, before thousands of people in
their great opera house, I said, “Would
you like me to tell you just what I think,
plainly and honestly?” They said, “Yes,
yes, yes!” I said, “Do you think you can
stand it all?” They said, “Yes, yes, yes!”
“Then,” I said, “my opinion is that the
curse of San Francisco is not your Chinese
quarter, but your millionaire libertines!”
LIBERTINES IN HIGH PLACES.
And two of them sat right before me—
Felix and Drusilla. And so it is in all the
cities. I never swear, but when I see a
man go unw’hipped of justice, laughing over
his shame and calling his damnable deeds
gallantry and peccadillo, I am tempted to
hurl redhot anathema and to conclude that
if, according to some people’s theology,
there is no hell, there ought to be!
There is enough out and out licentious
ness in American cities today to bring
down upon them the wrath of that God
W’ho, on the 24th of August, 79, buried
Herculaneum and Pompeii so deep iu
ashes that the eighteen hundred and thir
teen subsequent years have not been able
to complete the exhumation. There are
in some of the American cities today whole
blocks of houses which the authorities
know to be infamous, and yet by purchase
they are silenced by hush money, so that
such places are as much underlliUdefense
of government as public libraries and
asylums of mercy.
These ulcers on the body politic bleed and
gangrene away the life of the nation, and
public authority in many of the cities looks
the other way. You cannot cure such
wounds as these with a silken bandage.
You will have to cure them by putting
deep in the lancet of moral surgery, and
burning them out with the caustic of holy
wrath, and with most decisive amputation
cutting off the scabrous and putrefying
abominations. As the Romans w’ere after
the Celts, and as the Normans were after
the Britons, so there are evils after this
nation which will attend its obsequies un
less we first attend theirs.
NATIONAL ROT THREATENING.
Superstition tells of a marine reptile, the
cephaloptera, which enfolded and crushed
a ship of war; but it is no superstition when
I tell you that the history of many of the
dead nations proclaims to us the fact that
our ship of state is in danger of being
crushed by the cephaloptera of national
depravity. Where is the Hercules to slay
this hydra? Is it not time to speak by pen,
by tongue, by ballot box, by the rolling of
the prison door, by hangman’s halter, by
earnest prayer, by Sinai tic detonation?
A son of King Croesus is said to have
been dumb and to have never uttered a
w’ord until he saw his father being put to
death. Then he broke the shackles of
silence and cried out, “Kill not my father,
Croesus!” When I see the cheatery and
the w’antonness and the manifold crime of
this country attempting to commit patri
cide—yea, matricide—upon our institu
tions, it seems to me that lips that here
tofore have been dumb ought to break the
silence with canorous tones of fiery protest.
I want to put all of the matter before
you, so that every honest man and woman
will know just how matters stand, and
what they ought to do if they vote, and
what they ought to do if they pray. This
nation is not going to perish. Alexander,
when he heard of the wealth of the Indies,
divided Macedonia among his soldiers.
Some one asked him what he had kept for
himself, and he replied, “I am keeping
hope!” And that jewel I keep bright and
shining in my soul, whatever else I shall
surrender. Hope thou in God. He will
set back these oceanic tides of moral dev
astation. Do you know what is the prize
for which contention is made today? It is
the prize of this continent.
l^ r ever since, according to John Milton,
when “satan was hurled headlong flaming
from the ethereal skies in hideous ruin and
combustion down,” have the powers of
darkness been so determined to win this
continent as they now are. What a jewel
it is—a jewel carved in relief, the cameo of
this planet! On one side of us the Atlantic
ocean,’ dividing us from the wornout gov
ernments of Europe. On the other side the
Pacific ocean, dividing us from the super
stitions of Asia. On the north of us the
Arctic sea, which is the gymnasium in
which the explorers and navigators develop
their courage. A continent 10,500 miles
long, 17,000,000 square miles, and all of it
but about one-seventh capable of rich cul
tivation.
THE GREAT NATION.
One hundred millions of population on
this continent of North and South America
—one hundred millions, and room for many
hundred millions more. All flora, and all
fauna, all metals, and all precious woods,
and all grains, and all fruits. The Appa
lachian range the backbone and the rivers
the ganglia, carrying life all through and
out to the extremities. Isthmus of Darien
the narrow waist of a giant continent, all
to be under one government, and all free,
and all Christian, and the scene of Christ’s
personal reign on earth if, according to the
expectation of many people, he shall at last
set up his throne in this world.
Who shall have this hemisphere? Christ
or satan? Who shall have the shore of
her inland seas, the silver of her Nevadas,
the gold of her Colorados, the telescopes
of her observatories, the brain of her uni
versities, the wheat of her prairies, the
rice of her savannahs, the two great ocean
beaches—the one reaching from Baffin’s
bay to Terra del Fuego, and the other
from Behring straits to Cape Horn—and
all the moral and temporal and spiritual
and everlasting interests of a population
vast beyond all computation save by him
with whom a thousand years are as one
day? Who shall have the hemisphere?
You and I will decide that, or help to de
cide it, by conscientious vote, by earnest
prayer, by maintenance of Christian insti
tutions, by support of great philanthro
pies, by putting body, mind and soul on
the right side of all moral, religious and
national movements.
Ah, it will not be long before it will not
make any difference to you or to me what
becomes of this continent, so far as earthly
comfort is concerned. All we will want of
it will be seven feet by three, and that will
take in the largest, and there will be room
and to spare. That is all of this country
we will need very soon, the youngest of us.
But we have an anxiety about the welfare
and the happiness of the generations that
are coming on, and it will be a grand thing
if, when the archangel’s trumpet sounds,
we find that our sepulcher, like the one
Joseph of Arimathea provided for Christ,
is in the midst of a garden. By that time
this country will be all paradise or all dry
tortugas. Eternal God, to thee we com
mit the destiny of this people!
Light from Celestial Bodies.
Light travels at the rate of 213,000 miles
a second, a velocity which causes the rays
from the moon to reach us in a little less
than a second and a quarter. The rays of
Jupiter are fifty-two minutes in reaching
use. It would take millions of years for the
same beams to reach us if their starting
point was from one of the fixed stars. —St.
Louis Republic.
Her Education Aids Her Husband.
Mrs. John Foster, wife of the secre
tary of state, received in her youth a
thorough classicaleducation, and during
her long residence abroad she gained a
knowledge of court life and an experi
ence in etiquette that do good service in
her present position. She is of great as
sistance to her husband by the familiar
ity with French that enables her to
translate from the Canadian papers any
thing of importance.—Exchange.
