DR. TALMAGE’S SERMON
The Eminent Divine’s Sunday
Disoourse.
Subject: "Kncmlea Overthrown”—In the
Church of God and In All Styles of
Reformatory Work What Is Reeded
Most Is a Battle Cry#
Text: "Let God arise, let His enemies
De scattered.”—Psalms lxvllt., I.
A procession was formed to carry the
srk, or sacred box, which, though only
three feet nine inches in height And depth,
was the symbol of God's presence. As the
leaders of the procession lifed this orna
mented and brilliant box by two golden
poles run through four goluen rings, and
started for Mount Zion, all the people
chanted the battle hymn of my text, "Let
God arise, let His enemies be scattered.”
The Cameronians of Scotland, outraged
by James I., who forced upon them relig
ious forms that were offensive, and by the
terrible persecution of Drummond, Dalziel
and Turner, and by the oppressive laws of
Charles I. and Charles II., were driven to
proclaim war against tyrants, and went
forth to fight for religfous liberty; nnd the
mountain heather became red with car
nage, and at Dothwell Bridge and Aird’s
Moss nnd Drumclog the battle hymn and
the battle shout of those glorious old
Scotchmen wu9 the text I have ohoson:
"Let God arise, let His enemies be scat
tered.”
What a whirlwind of power was Oliver
Cromwell, and how with his soldiers,
named the "Ironsides,” ho went from vic
tory to vietoryl Opposing enemies melted
as he looked at them. Ho dismissed Parlia
ment as eusily as a schoolmaster a school.
He pointed his finger ut Berkeloy Castle,
and it was taken. Ho ordered Sir Ralph
Hopton.the general, to dismount, and he
dismounted. See Cromwell marching on
with his army, and hear tho battle-cry of
"Ironsides,” loud us a storm and solemn as
a death-knell, standards reeling before it,
and cuvnlry horses going back on their
haunches, and armies flying at Marston
Moor, at Wlnceby Field, at Naseby, at
Bridgewater and Dartmouth—"Let God
arise, let His enemies be scattered!” '
So you see my text is not like a compli
mentary and tusselled sword that you
sometimes seo hung up In a parlor, a
sword that was never In battle, and only
to bo used on general training day, but
more like some weapon oarefully hung up
in your home, telling its story of battles,
for my text hangS'ln the Soripture armory,
telling of tho holy wars of three thousand
years in which ft has been carried, but
still as keen and mighty ns when David
first unsheathed it. It seems to me that In
the Church of God, and lu all stylos of re
formatory work, what we most need is
now a battle-cry. We raise our little stan
dard, and put on it the name of some man
who only a few years ago began to live
and In a few years will cease to live. We
go into conquest against the armies of
Iniquity, depending too much on human
agencies, we use for a battle-cry the name
of some brave Christian reformer, but after
awhile that reformer dies, or gets old, or
loses bis courage, and then we take an
other battle-cry, uud this time perhaps wo
put the name of someone who betrays the
cause and sells out to the enemy. What
we want for a battle-cry is the name of
some leader who will never betray us, and
will never surrender, and will never die.
All respect have I for brave men and
women, but if we are to get the victory all
along the line we must take the hint of the
Gldeonltes, who wiped out the Bedouin
Arabs, commonly called Mldlanltes. These
' Gideonites had a glorious leader In Gideon,
but what was the battle-cry with which
they flung their enemies Into the worst de
feat Into which any army was ever tumbled?
It was "The sword of ths Lord and of
Gideon.” Put God first, whoever you put
second. If the army of the American revo
lution Is to free America, It must be "The
aword of the Lord and of Washington.” • If
the Germans want to win the day at Sedan.
It must bo "The sword of the Lord and
Von Moltke.” Waterloo was won for the
English, because not only the armed men
at tho front, but the worshipers in the
cathedrals at the rear, were crying "Tho
sword of the Lord and of Wellington.”
The Methodists have gone In triumph
across nation after nation with the cry,
"Tho sword of the Lord and of Wesley."
The Presbyterians have gone from victory
to victory with the cry, "The sword of the
Lord and of John Knox.” The Baptists have
conquered millions after millions for
Christ with tho cry, "The sword of the
Lord and of Judson." The American
Episcopalians have won their mighty wuy
with theory, "The sword of the Lora and
of Bishop M’llvatne.” The victory is to
those who put God first. But as we want
a battle-cry suited to all sects of religion
ists, and to all lands I nominate as the
battle-cry of Christendom In the approach
ing Armageddon the words of ray text,
sounded before the ark as it was carried to
Mount Zion: "Let God arise, let Hla
enemies be scattered."
As far as our Unite mtnd can Judge, It
seems about time for God to rise. Does it
not seem to you that the abominations of
this earth have gone far enough? Was
there ever a time wheu sin was so defiant?
Was there ever before so many flsts llfted
toward God telling Him to come On If He
dare? Look at the blasphemy abroadl
What towering profanity! Would it be
possible for anyone to calculate the Dum
pers of times that tho name of the Almighty
God and of Jesus Christ are every day
taken Irreverently on the Ups? Profane
swearing Is as much forbidden by the law
ns theft, or arson, or murder, yet who
executes It? Profanity is worse than theft,
or arson, or murder, for these crimes aro
attacks on humanity—that Is an attack on
God.
This country is pre-eminent for bias
pbemy. A man traveling in Russia was sup
posed to be a clergyman. "Why do you take
mo to be a clergyman?” said the man. "Oh,”
said the Russian, "all other Americans
swear." The crime Is multiplying In io'
sity. God very often shows what He th
of it, but for the most part the futallty Is
bushed up. Among the Adlrondacks I met
the funeral prooession 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 unyhow, and the man
who worked with him on the same Sabbath
is still living, but a helpless Invalid, under
the same flash.
Years ago, In a Pittsburg prison, two men
were talking about the Bible and Christi
anity, and one of them, Thompson by name,
applied to Jesus Christ a very low and vil
lainous epithet, and, us he was uttering It,
he fell. A physlan was called, but no 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-llne and all alike, and
these are the faots: In 18C1 diphtheria raged
in tho village and a physician Remark
ably successful In curing his patients. 80
confident did he become that he boasted
that no case of diphtheria could stand be
fore him, and finally defied Almighty God
to produce a case of diphtheria sthat he
could not cure. Hfs youngest child soon
after took the disease nnd died, and one
child after another, until all the eight had
died of diphtheria. The blasphemer chal
lenged Almighty God, and God accepted
the challenge. Do not think that because
God ha9 been silent In your case, 0 pro
fane sweurer! that He is dead. Is there
nothing now in the peculiar leellng 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^avold the horrible consplcuity.
Physicians euppress them through profes
sional confidence. It Is a very, veiy long
roll that contains the names of those who
died with blasphemies on their lips.
Still the crime roils on, up through par
lors, up through chandeliers with lights all
ablaze, and through pictured corridors of
club-rooms, out through busy exchanges,
where oath meets oath, and down through
all the haunts of sin, mingling with the
rnttllng dice and crackling billiard-balls,
and the laughter of her who hath forgotten
the covenant of her God; and round the
city, and round the continent, and round
the earth a seething, boiling surge flings
its hot spray into the face of a long-suffer
ing God. And the ship-captain curses his
crew, and the master-builder his men, and
the haok-driver his horse; and the traveler
the stone that bruises his foot, or the mud
that soils his shoes, or the defective time-
f lecetnat gets him too late to the rail train.
arraign profane swearing and blasphemy,
two names for the same thing, 09 being one
of the gigantlo crimes of this land, and for
Its extirpation It does seem as if it were
about time for God to arise.
Then look for a moment at tho evil of
drunkenness. Whether you live In Wash
ington, or Now York, or Chicago, or Cin
cinnati, or Savannnh, or Boston, or In any
of theoitte9 of this land, count up the sa
loons on that street as compared with tho
saloons five years ago, and seo they aro
growing far out of proportion to the In
crease of the population. You people who
are so proolse and particular lest thero
should be somo Imprudence and rashness
In attacking tho rum trafilo will have your
son somo night pltohed Into your front
door dead drunk, or your daughter will
come home with her children beoause her
husband has, by strong drink, been turned
into a demoniac. The drink has despoiled
whole streets of good homos in all our
cities. Fathers, Mothers, sons on tho
funeral pyre of strong drink! Fasten
tighter the victims! Stir up the flamesl
Pilo on the corpses! More men, women and
ohlldren for the sacrifice! Lot us have
whole generations on fire of ovll habit, and
at the sound of tho cornet, flute, harp.saok-
but, psaltery, and dulcimer let all tho peo-
plo fall down and worship King Alcohol, or
you shall be cast Into tho fiery furnace ufl-
dersome political platform! <
I indict this evil as the regicide, the
fratricide, the patrlolde, the matricide, the
uxoricide of the century. Yet under what
Innocent and delusive and mirthful names
nloohollsm deceives the people! It Is a
"cordial.” It Is "bitten.” It Is an "eye-
opener.” It Is on "appetizer.” It Is a
"digester.” It is an "Invigorator.” It Is
a "settler.” It Is a "night-oap.” Why
don’t they put on the right labels—"Es
sonoo of Perdition,” "Conscience Stupe-
fler," ‘‘Five Drachms of Heort-aohe,"
"Tears of Orphanage,” "Blood of Souls,”
"Soabs of an Eternal Leprosy,” "Venom of
the Worm thut Never Dies?” Only onoe in
a while Is thero anything in tho title of liq
uors to even hint their atrocity, as In tho
case of "sour mash.” That I see adver
tised all over. It is an honest name, and
anyone can understand It. "Sour mashl”
That Is, It makes a man’s disposition sour,
and his associations sour ana his prospeots
sour; and then it 19 good to mash nls body,
and wa9h his soul, aud mash his business,
and mash his family. "Sour mashl” One
honest name at last for an intoxioantt But
through lying labols of many of the
apothecaries’ shops, good people, who are
only a little under tone in health, and
wanting some Invigoratlon, have unwit
tingly got on their tonguo the fangs of this
cobra, that stings to death so large a ratio
of the human race.
Others are ruined by the common and
all-destruotlve habit of treating customers.
And It Is a treat on their oomlng to town,
and a treat while the bargaining progresses,
and a treat when the purchase Is made,
and a treat as he leaves town. Others, to
drown their troubles, submerge themselves
with this worse trouble. Oh, the world Is
battered and bruised and blasted with this
growing evill It is more and more en#
trenched and fortified. They have millions
of dollars subscribed to marshal and ad
vance the alooholla forces. They nominate,
and elect, and govern the vast majority or
the officeholders of this country. On their
side they have enlisted the mightiest
K olltlcal power of the centuries. And bo-
indthem stand all the myrmidons of the
nether world, Satanic, Apollyonio and
Diabolic. It Is beyond all human effort to
overthrow this Bastile of decanters or
capture this Gibraltar of rum jugs. And
while I approve of all human agenoies of
refdrm, I would utterly despair if we had
nothing else. But what cheers mo Is that
our best troops are yet to come. Our chief
artillery is in reserve. Our ^greatest com
mander has not yet fully tuken the field.
If all Hell Is on their side, all Heaven is on
our side. Now "Let God nrlse, and let
His enemies bo scattered."
Then look at tho impurities of these
great cities. Ever and auon thero aro In
the newspapers explosions of soolul life
that make the story of Sodom quite re
spectable; "for such things," Christ says,
"were moro tolerable for Sodom and Go
morrah” than for the Ohornzlns and Beth-
saldus of greater light. It Is no unusual
thing In our cities to see men In high, po
sitions with two or three families, or ro-
fined ladies willing solemnly to marry tho
very swine of society, if thoy be wealthy.
The Bible all aflame with denunciation
ugniust an Impure life, but many of tho
American ministry uttering not one point-
blank word against this Iniquity lest some
old libertine throw up his church pew.
Machinery organized in all the cities of tho
United States and Canuda by whlob to put
yearly In the grindlng-mill of this Iniquity
thousands of the unsuspecting of tho
country farm-houses, one procuress con
fessing lnthe court that she had supplied
the Infernal market with one huudrea and
fifty victims In six months. Obi for five
hundred newspapers in America to swing
open the door of this lazar-house of Bocial
corruption! Exposure must come before
extirpation.
While the city van carries the scum of this
sin from the prison to the polloe court
mornlug by morning, It 19 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 Pompadour!
of your brown-stone palaces Into a van of
popular indignation, and drive them out of
respectable associations. What prospect
of social purification can there be, us long
as at summer watering places It is usual to
see a young woman ol excellent rearing
stand and simper and giggle and roll up
her eyes sideways before one of those llrst-
olass satyrs of fashionable life, and on the
ballroom floor join him In tho dance, the
maternal chaperon meanwhile beaming
from the window on tho scene? Matohes
aro made In Heaven, they say. Not such
matohes; for the brimstone indicates the
opposite region.
The evil Is overshadowing all our cities.
By some these lmmoralties are called pec
cadilloes, gallantries, eccentricities, and
are relegated to the realms of jocularity,
and few. efforts are being made against
them. God bless the "White Cross” move
ment, as it Is called—an organization mak
ing a mighty assault on this evill God for
ward the tract societies of the land! God
help the parents In the great work they are
doing* In trying to start their children with
pure principles! God help all legislators
In their attempt to prohibit this crime!
But Is this all? Then it is only a question
of time when the last vestige of purity and
home will vanish out of sight. Human
arms, human pens, human voices, human
talents are not sufficient. I begin to look
up. I listen for artillery rumbling down
tho sapphire boulevards of Heaven. I
watch to see if In the morning light there
be not the flash of descending scimitars.
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 en
emies be scattered?”

ANCIENT NAMES OF CUBA. s
Bow the Original Indian Designation
Survived All Othors.
The ultimate survival of the original
Indian name is of somewhat rar#
occurrence in the history of Spanish
conquest. When Columbus first saw
Cnba, about sixteen days after his
difficulties had been laid at rest by
the sight of Quauahaui, he was con
fident that at last he had come to the
shore of Asia. Further to ingratiate
himself and his designs with Queen
Isabella, he named tbe place Juana, in
honor of her son, PrinceJnan. When,
a few years later, the Prinoe diod,
Columbns promptly transferred the
honor of the name to Ferdiuand, the
bereaved father, and for a time Cuba
was known as Fernaudina.
This aot of flattery could not have
had the desired effect, for the island
was next put under tho patronage of
the greatest of Spauish saints by being
oalled Sant Iago.
The next name suggests probable
perils of the deep from which colon
ists esoapod by pious recognition of
the ever watchful cure with which tho
Virgin proteotsmnriners. They named
the haven of reftigo Ave Maria. Other
colonists, noting the irregular, jagged
coast linos, oalled their home La
Lengua do Pajaro (sparrow’s tongue).
Finally the use of the old Indian
name became established, and to-day
we speak of the island as it has boon
spoken of by generations that passed
away in happy ignorance of the op
pressions that were to crush their race
to the ground and blot it from the
faoe of the earth. The original
Havana was on the southern shore of
Ouba—San Cristobal de la Habana,
so called in honor of the discoverer.
Baracoa first onjoyed tho honor of
being the capital, then Santiago de
Cuba became the ohief oity, but about
the year 1649 the name Havana and
the seat of government were trans
ferred to the oity on the northern
oonBt, where they still remain.
Philip II. gave the oity a coat of
arms and a liberal local government,
and since that time it has easily main
tained its supremaoy among Caban
towns.

The dissecting-room of tho Military
Hospital of Algiers has just witnessed
the resuscitation of a soldier who had
been supposed to be dead for three
days. It was at the very moment
when the professor of surgery was
about to dissect tbe supposed corpse
that the soldier suddenly awoke from
a prolonged lethargy. The three per
sons who witnessed the scene were
struck with such amazement that they
were at first unable to do anything.
It was not till after they had seen the
supposed corpse quietly slip off the
marble slab on which he was to have
been disseoted, and go into an adjoin
ing room to write a few words on a
sheet of paper to aesure himself that
he was really alive and awake, that
the dootor and his assistant came to
his aid. It is stated that the recovery
of the soldier is absolutely complete.

The Esquimau gi Artists.
With all his artistic ability the
Esquimau is not skilled in his por
trayal of the human form, and he is
well aware of this deficiency. While
he attempts elaborate representations
of all other created forms which have
come within his ken he attempts
nothing bat the crudest suggestion of
the human figure, usually indicating
the lord of creation merely by means
of a circnlar spot, from which a line
is suspended, terminating in two other
lines to represent legs, while a couple
of lateral lines emanating from either
side of the eircle suggest arms. Al
most any schoolboy can discount his
art in this respect. Yet he is by no
means lacking in imagination, and is
capable of portraying tho most mag
nificent and impossible sea serpents
that ever the inventive mind of mar
iner conceived. — Han Francisco

MRS. PINKHAM’S WARNING TO WOMEN.
Negleot in the Forerunner of Misery and Suffering—A Orateful Hus
band Writes of jHla Wife's Recovery.
Nearly all the 111 health of women la traceable to some derangement of the
feminine organs. These derangements do not cure themselves, and neglect of
the sensations resulting from them Is only putting
off trouble. '
Pathetic stories are constantly coming to Mrs.
Pinkham of women whose neglect has resulted in
serious heart trouble and a whole train of woes.
Hero is the story of a woman who was helped
by Mrs. Pinkham after other treatment failed:
DKAn Mrs. Pinkiiau:—It affords me very
great pleasure to be able to state that I believe
my wlfo owes her health to your mediolne
and good advice. For three years her
health failed rapidly; she had heart trou
ble, often falling down in dizzy and
fainting spells, shortness of breath,
choking and smothering spells, bloat
ing of tbe stomach, a dry cough, dys
peptic symptoms, menses irreg
ular, scanty, and of an un
natural color. She had been
treated by physicians with but
littio benefit. She hoe taken
your treatment according to
your directions, and is better
in every way. 1 am well pleased
with the resnlt of your
treatment, and give you
permission to use my letter
for tho benefit of others.—
Cdab. H. and Mrs' May Butcher,
Fort Meyer, Va.
The healing and strengthening power of Lydia
E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for all fe
male Ills Is so well established that it needs no argument. For over twenty
years it has been used by women with results that are truly wonderful.

to her at Lynn, Mass., for advice. All such correspondence Is seen by women
only, and no charge is mode.
