4^ ' v *• *~ 1* 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?” Largest Steel Hall on the Mississippi. The largest steel hull ever floated on the Mississippi was launched at the shipyard of the Iowa Iron Works at Dubuque, Iowa. The boat is 303 feet long, fifty-six feet boau? and eighty-seven feet over all. She covers a space of 28,000 square feet, or about five- eighths of an acre. She was built for' the Texas & Pacific Railway Oompany, and will be used at Now Orleuns in transferring 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. CURIOUS FACTS.

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. —Paris correspondence of the London Standard. The Esquimau gi Artists.

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.

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.
