of a Sermon.

FAMOUS NOVEL.

Willt uu tntcrralcd Audience.-
lieligiou ana Imagination.
Nashville American.
Bcv. Dr. C. 11. Strickland repeated
his lecture on “Dr. Jckly and Mr.
Hyde” at the First Baptist church
last night to a large and appreciative
audience. The plot of Stevenson’s
celebrated story was graphically re
viewed and many valuable lessons
deducted therefrom. Portions of
his address are given, and it is re
gretted that lack of spaee prevents
its reproduction in full.
The speaker read Romans vii., 21,
“When l would do good evil is pres
ent with me,” as suggestive of the
thought and substance of the topic
to bo discussed.
“I am persuaded that the author
of the little book ‘Dr. Jekyl and Mr.
Hyde’ was inspired possibly in part
by his experience, by his observation
and surely in part by the chapter, a
portion of which I have read to you.
This plainly shows the contention
and struggle that is going on in the
minds of men good and true —a
struggle between an impulse to do
right; a struggle between a man’s
moral sense and his lower nature.
Paul here touches upon the ex peri
cnee of all thinking men and all
who know anything at all of their
own mental processes. I find a law
in my members warrying against
the law of my mind ; a disposition
on the part of my body to rebel
against the region of my higher
nature. One is drawing a man in
that direction and another in this.
This is true though the Bible had
never been written. Here is a great
fundamental fact that scarcely needs
the demonstration of argument; and
the apostle touches upon huTnan ex
perience, his own possibly, and
experience of which no thinking
man can bo ignorant. You and I
just, coyeious of an impulse to do
t's&kks. 4 ifeu c?i
--... some fbrm ahl w
desire or’inspfcvt.iun uPCC
causo it is right. You and 1 have
made up our minds fully and we
have resolved to avoid a certain form
of sin, but some how or other we
permit the, commission of that sin
for the fiS&th time. We know the
right arid choose the right, and yet
the wrong pursue. You have done
it a thousand times; so have I ; wept
over it ; been sorry tor it; prayed
God to forgive us, and sometimes
with the bans of resolution around
us we have tried to lash ourselves to
’<mc good purpose or some good life,
as the old sailor is said to have lashed
himself to the mast of the vessel that
he would not be enabled to throw
himself in ruin upon the isles of the
syrens. Wo had desired to do right,
3'et appetite came along and crushed
pitilessly’- that desire and intention,
and 10, we did very wrong. Good
and evil commending in the same
man, now one is in the ascendancy
and now the other. Now a man is
good, and now he is bad ; and some
time in life the last and decisive
conflict will be fought and then good
will prevail finally and forever, and
the man will grow better and better
in closer affinity and sympatly with
God, or he will grow worse and
worse until lie is a hopeless alien
from God and from all that is God
like.
1 affirm that these truths which I
have merely* glanced at are great
and fundamental truths that are
recoginized by all religionists. Be
yond a given line—where that is
located t cannot sa3* —a man will go
on in the direction in which he is
going as long as we have knowledge
of him, and reason says that he will
go on in that direction for all time
and enternity. liis character is
unalterably fixed.
If he shall undergo any change in
the great beyond, it is contrary to
any law that has been revealed to
us, physical, mental or moral.
This little story of Dr. Jck3'l and
Mr. Hyde is a character study re
markable for its keen insight into
human nature, for its simplicity and
truthfulness. 1 mean the deep, un
derlying truths which show how
habit binds a man in chains, and
how be must walk in these fetters
to the end, which shows how a man
may be coneious of his danger and
captivity and ruin and be tilled with
remorse because of the same, and
\'et he is utterl)' powerless to throw
off the manacles that bind him.
The powerful hand of evil nestling in
the human heart is portrayed graph
ically by this book. It shows man
in secret -dallyance with his destroy
er. A man playing with a beautiful
serpent, wraps it around his wrists
and tO3'S with it about his neck, and
even Kisses it, until, finally, this
beautiful serpent —this secret sin—
stings him to the death. Yon re
member something of a fable of
death in the old legend. It was said
that there was a fountain which
possessed a two-fold property. To
look upon it and see its beautiful
ripple was to have the thirst intense
13' excited. One single draught and
another produced laughter loud and
long: hut the laughter diy h* in
wailing of mortal Rg<:nv. tSo we
find it portrayed in this little book.
1 commend it to you.” JL.
The speaker graphically
in sublime thought aB<J beautiful
language, the interesting events in
the life of Dr. Jekyl and tbedeplora
ble ending of Mr. Hyde. Af, its con
clusion he continued-:
“It is a most rmplontMe story as
written but there are groa-rttrtel *eo
mentuous truths underneath the
figures used by the author that com
mend themselves to all
men and women —evil indulged in
secretly and appetite growing upon
that which it feeds upon until it is
too strong for restraint; occasional
and temporary reformation like the
tides that come and go at the bid
ding of sins of dissipation jj, evil and
good contending within the arena of
a man’s own mind and sc‘wr the
possession of that which * Aieeless;
hell mov’ng beneath tc oyk the
ruin of a man, and heavdn -looping
to give him life; the fatal-Waterloo
at last that cuds his Lamenting
punishment.
Notice the good and the cyil con
tending for mastery in man. .One or
the other must finally Jbi,supreme
with you and with me. \V .veannot
serve God and Mammon; vou can
not run with the hare and hold with
the hounds; you cannot be this and
that at tho same time. Tins is self
evident, but also we too' Afyen un
conscious!}’ try to be good it ml are
willing to bo bad at the same time,
good one day in the week and bad
five or six; and when conscience
reproaches us how softly we walk
and how careful we are, and how
morally perpendicular wbiimain for
quite awhile, until cooseie'fcc ceases
to upbraid us! Man is obliged to be
at peace with himself. Evil and
good contending for the miistery in
the man ; right and wrong\wrestling
like two athletes; obedience on one
hand and disobedience on the other,
and here is will standing between
and will must choose one or the
other. Evil says ‘choose me’ so soft
ly and sweetly and winsomely.
There is the clear sweet voice of
right, of good, of obedience, of truth
clad in white garments, earnestly
inviting us in. You ami I must
choose between 4 tjfe tw' e can
not walk in both dir W
H W
gr. ~ ■ ■
want Vi- Without owing it
\vE are nearear the end of the line
•vhcre the bad is. Ido not pretend
to know the origin of moral evil in
this world, but that it exists there can
he no manner of doubt. It exists
even in the poorest human heart I
believe, and the result of sin, when
yielded to, is not only death to re
demption, death to honor, death to
to hope, but you and 1 understand
the Bible to teacli that it is that
death which knows no resurrection
—death eternal. In your nature
and mine are inclinations and pro
pensities and appetites that war
against the law of the mind, against
conscience and the law of right; and
we can also say that ‘when we would
do good, evil is with us,’ and we
do evil when we do not mean to and
do not desire to. I was looking at evil
and the first thing I knew evil had
me by the hand. Hundreds of men
and women are in this situation.
You are undecided as to which way
to go; your inclination says it will
be nice to go in one direction, but
duty says ‘no.’ Your will must de
cide. You decide the question your
self. A struggle might have secured
a different result, but }'OU made it
not. Men are born with their faces
in the wrong direction. To do wrong
is natural and eas}*; to do right re
quires some effort and men have to
be taught to do right.
When a man has a so-called
“change of heart” there has been a
change in his affections, and hopes,
and fears, and ends, and aims,
and purposes. If God had not
shown us that such was desirable we
would never have chosen good. God
must act upon our reason in some
way. We are better than the savage,
because we have been brought under
the influence of God’s word, and
been instructed in the Christian
civilization, and our mind, reason
and soul have been acted upon by
revelation from God. Secret sin in
dulged in, according to the law of
God and even according to the law
of nature, must at last destroy the
sinner.
:jc :}: jjc
We can be good men and true men
and keep getting better and better
while we live. Asa ph}’sician or a
lawyer may ascend the scale and be
come more and more useful and
honored, so in morals we may grow
better and nobler and stronger.
:jc % 3c :)c
Not only is it true that good or
evil must obtain the mastery, but it
is true that the downward course of
those who are walking in the path
way of evil is gradual.

WHISKY TAX NOT A WAR TAX.
Judge Stewart on the Question of the
Day.
Judge Stewart thus states his
| views on the tariff and internal
i revenue: “The business interests of
| the country demand that the sur
plus in the treasury shall be reduced,
i nnd this can be done by a reduction
! of the tariff on the necessaries of life,
| such as woolen goods, sugar, hoop
| iron, etc., all articles of prime no
! cessity in which all classes of our
I people are largely interested.”
I asked him if repeal ofthe intern
al revenue laws would not reduce
the surplus, and was it not claimed
that this was a war tax.
To this he replied: “It is somo
wliat amusing to see tho various ar
guments made in favor of the repeal
of the internal revenue laws. The
repeal of these laws will create a
deficiency. A reduction of about
§118,000,000 will require that a
higher tariff be placed on the articles
of prime necessity. To claim that
the tax on whisky, etc., is a war
measure is an unfair statement of
the question, and one calculated to
deceive the people. The war tax
on whisky was about two dollars
per gallon. Since the war a reduc
tion was made to ninety cents per
gallon. During the war a high tariff
was made upon articles of prime ne
cessity, due to the influence of rao
nopolies,corporations and syndicates.
These have only been reduced in
part. The claim that the war is
over and therefore the internal reve
nue laws should be repealed is an
argument without force when we
remember as the result of the war
that the government has to raise
annually about §73,500,000 as a
pension fund and this fund is likely
to be increased, and may continue
for many years. Now,
THE REAL QUESTION IS,
shall whisky, which no one con
to ids is an a! s >lute necessity, c< n
tribute a part to this fund, or shall
articles of food and raiment he taxed
to raise this enormous sum of money,
which, in twenty years, will amount
to nearly a billion and a half of dol
lars? For myself, I think the in
terests of the poor, tho millions that
toil for a living, should be required
to bear as lightly as possible the
i of government, and that
' indulge in luxuries should
f ./ -<
“Y uat sa \ ' ' jl 1,1 E states
regulating the whisky tax?”
He replied: “This argument is
most fallacious. Under the constitu
tion of Georgia taxes arc uniform
and ad valorem on all species of
property taxed, and our Supreme
court has repeatedly held that one
species of property cannot be taxed
at a greater rate than another. A
simuiar provision will be found in
the constitutions of twenty-seven of
the states, and I apprehend that our
people will not be in a hurry to hold
a convention with the purpose of
CHANGING THE CONSTITUTION,
so that the state can tax whisk}’. It
is well calculated to deceive where it
can only be taxed as other property*.
If our peoplo would only fully real
ize the fact that last v r ear, under the
internal revenue laws, there was
raised in Georgia about 8336,000 and
in Illinois 824,825,704.34,they would,
no doubt, be less inclined to clamor
for the repeal of those laws, but
would be more willing to let those
states whose inhabitants are receiv
ing most of the pension money con
tribute most larged* to pa3' the same,
and rather keep this than adopt some
other system which would require
the poor to contribute largely from
incomes to pay* this pension debt.”

An exchange commenting on the
proper course to be persued by
young men sa}*s:
Young man, you are responsible
for your success or failure ; if you are
sober, honest and industrious you
will find employment. If }*oa are
determined to drink, idle away
}’our time, and neglect }’our inter
est, don't blame }'our friends or
employers for not wanting 3-our
services. For, even if your employer
is a drunkard, he wants sober em
ployes in his business. The two
roads are before you. One leads to
health, prosperity and happiness,
the other to ruin and eternal woe !
HIGH TONED KLEPTOMANIACS.
If They Were Nobodies They Would be
Sent tojail.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Every once in a while we hear of
kleptomaniacs, and pity them ac
cording to their circumstances. If
the victim is poor we generally de
ride the idea of kleptomania and
charge tho weakness to common
thievery, but if the victim is rich we
are more charitable and ready to
concede that there may be something
more in kleptomania than a polite
excuse for inordinate knavery. A
story is told of the late John D. Dry
den, father of the brilliant and gen
ial Nat C. Dryden, of Troy, known
to all Missourians, that goes far to
illustrate the character of kleptoma
nia. Judge Dryden and two of his
friends were talking one day and
relating incidents growing out of
strange human impulses. One of
the men said that the great struggle
of his life was to keep sober; that
he loved whisky better than any
thing else in the world, and it requir
ed all the strength of will he had to
resist it. The second man said that
his weakness was a love of speech
making; that he would rather make
a speech than do anything else in
the world, and that ho never saw
a crowd together that the impulse to
elevate his voice and make a speech
did not attack him. Judge Dryden
said that the struggle of his life was
to be honest; that he never saw any
thing that he took a fancy to that
the impulse to take it did not come
upon him strong. He said that if lie
did not bring an iron will to resi.-t
his inclinations he would be one of
the greatest rouges in Missouri. This
coming from a man who was a mod
el of integrity and fairness during a
long active life, is a powerful illustra
tion. Some things go to show how
much will power has to do in direc
ting the lives of people, and how
easy it is for people not able to con
centrate their will to fall victims to
their passions. The present earl < f
Derby, an ex-British cabinet officer,
and one of the richest men in Eng
land, is a confirmed kleptomaniac.
The earl’s particular weakness is for
old silver, and the greater its antiq
uity and beauty the more certain it
is to find its way into his pocket.
There is a story to the effect that once
when Le was kneeling at the com
munion table only f he. ready hand
&'*. fP’Wiwi saved H’VVA old
wine cup from sliui’ng i. A
sleeve. It is the duty f his aiet
to examine his master’s clothes everv
morning when he has dined out the
night before. What ever is found is
taken out to the countess, a beauti
ful and good woman who returns it
to the owner with a pretty note cl
apology. The earl is quite awarcof
his unfortunate weakness, and is said
to have struggled against it in vain.
No fear of detection or exposure
makes heavy his light fingers, and it
is said lie will not trust himself to go
alone to a public sale where old sil
ver is displayed. How many peo
ple with the noble earl’s weakness
are to be found in every day life?
Suppose the head of the powerful
Stanly family were poor and unti
tled, would the pleadings of the
kleptomania keep him out of the
penitenitiary.
The Wealth of a Home
Is dependent upon the happiness
therein. If sickness is there, what
a shadow falls. Parents, }’ou should
never neglect a slight cough or cold,
but give in time Taylor’s Cherokee
liemedy of Sweet Gum and Mullein.
Claiming in Spite of Facts.
Enquirer Sun.
The protectionists still claim that
the tariff sentiment is weak through
out the country, and they may do so
even after the question comes up in
an election and results in a tariff
overthrow. Their claim is almost
as absurd now as it would be then,
for wherever the people have had
a chance to express themselves on
the subject, tiieir expression bas
been for reform.
The prominent republicans who
spoke in Boston for tariff reform, ex-
Minister Lowell among them, and
the manufacturers in New England
who have been demanding taiff re
reduction, ought to have settled the
question so far as the east is concern
ed, but the protectionists seem dis
posed to claim everything in spite of
facts.
And now the loss of the control of
the democratic party in Pcnsylvania
by Mr. Randall, shows that even in
that state, where the tariff is in
trenched behind the strongest bar
riers of self interest, it finds few
supporters, except republicans. The
battle there has been fought, and it
resulted in an endorsement of the
administration, and a victor}’ for
tariff reform.
An}* candid man must admit that
the idea of tariff reduction is much
stronger than the democratic party.
Even in the meeting of' bloody-shirt
wavers, in Mineapolis, a few days
ago—a meeting in which none ex
cept repnblicans participated—the
prevailing sentiment was found to
be in favor of tariff reform.
