[Copyright, Louis Klopsch, 1899.]
Washington, April 30.—At this time,
when the evils of the drink traffic are be
ing widely discussed and the movement
for the abolition of the degrading and
brutalizing canteen incur military camps
is gaining many supporters, this sermon
by Dr Talmage, dealing with the broader
aspects of tho plague of intemperance,
should cheer and inspire the friends of
temperance everywhere. His text is Ex
odus xi, 6, “And there shall he a great cry
throughout all tho land of Egypt.’’
This was the worst of the ten plagues.
The destroying angel at midnight flapped
his wing over the land, and there was one
dead in each house. Lamentation and
mourning and woe through all Egypt.
That destroying angel has fled the earth,
but a far worse has come. He sweeps
through these cities. It is tho destroying
angel of strong drink. Ear worse devas
tation wrought by this second than by the
first. The calamity in America worse
than the calamity in Egypt. Thousands
of tho slain, millions of tho slain. No
arithmetic can calculate their number.
Once upon a time four fiends met in the
lost world. They resolved that the people
of our earth were too happy, and these
four internals came forth to our earth on
embassy of mischief. The otie fiend said.
I’ll take charge of the vineyards.”- An
other said, “I’ll take charge of the grain
fields.” Another said, “I II take charge
of the dairy. ” Another said, “I’ll take
< hargeof the music.” The four fiends met
in the great Sahara desert, with skeleton
fingers clutched each other in handshake
of fidelity, kissed each other goodby with
lip of blue flame and parted on their mis
sion.
Tito fiend of the vineyard came in one
bright morning amid the grapes and sat
down on a root of twisted grapevine in
sheer discouragement. The flend knew ;
not how to damage tho vineyard or,
through it. how to damage the world.
I The grapes were so ripe and lieautiful and
luscious! 'They bewitched the air with
their sweetness. There seemed to ho so
much health in every bunch! And while
the fiend sat there in utter indignation
and disappointment he clutched a cluster
and squeezed it in perfect spite, and, 10,
his hand was red with the blood of the
vineyard, and the' fiend said: “That re
minds mo of tho blood of broken hearts.
I'll strip tho vineyard, and I’ll squeeze
out al! tho juice of tho grapes, and I’ll al
low the juices of the grapes to stand until
they rot, and I’ll call the process fermen
tation.” And there was a great vat pre
pared, and people came with their cups
and their pitchers, and they dipped up the
blood of tho grapes, and they drank and
drank and went away drinking, and they
drank until they fell in long lines of death, ,
so that when the fiend of tho vineyard
wanted to return to his homo in the pit he
stepped from carcass to carcass and walk
ed down amid a great causeway of the
* dead.
Then the second fiend came into tho
graintleld. He waded chin deep amid tho ,
barley and tho rye. Ho heard all tho
I grain talking about bread and prosperous ,
husbandry and thrifty homes. Hu thrust
his long arms into the grainfield, and he
[lulled up the grain and threw It into tho
water, and he made Ix-neath it great fires j
—fires lighted with a spark from his own
heart —and there was a grinding and a
mashing and a stench, and tho people came
w ith their Ixittlos, and they dipped up the
fiery liquid and they drank, and they ■
blasphemed, and they staggered, and they
fought, and they rioted, and they murder
ed and the fiend of the jilt, tho fiend of 1
the grainfield, was so pleased with their '
liehavior that ho changed his residence
from the pit to a whisky barrel, and there 1
he sat by tile door of the bunghole laugh
ing in high merriment at the thought that
out -if anything so harmless as the grain '
of the field ho might turn this world into i
a o uming pandemonium.
The I’leud of the Dairy.
The fiend of tho dairy saw the cows (
ining home ft' m the pasture field full (
iiddered. and as the maid milked he said: ,
ill soon spoil all that mess. 11l add to ,
It brandy, sugar ami nutmeg, qnd I'll stir ,
it Into a milk punch, and children w ill (
drink it, and some of the temperance peo- ,
pie will drink it. ami if I can do them no ,
more harm 1 11 give them a headache, and ,
then I’ll hand them over to the more vig
orous fiends of the satanfo delegation." j
And then tho fiend of the dairy leaped
. ■ o ■' ■ ' ■ . ■ I
:■ wof h b in Ing mi! k pans a 1 most 'iva’ic-d. '
The fiend of the music entered a grog- j
shop, and there were but few customers. ,
Eluding few customers, he swept the cir- (
unit of tho city, and he gathered up tho ,
musical Instruments, and after nightfall ,
he marshaled a band, and the trombones ,
I blew, and the cymbals clapped, and the
drums beat, and the bugles called, and the ,
people crowded in, and they swung around ,
in merry dance, each one with a wine- (
glass in his hand, and the dance became ,
wilder and stronger and rougher until t
the room shook, and tho glasses cracked, ,
and the floor broke, and tho crowd drop- <
ped into hell. (
Then the four flends—the fiend of the t
vineyard and of the grainfleld and of the <
kb dairy and of the music hall—went back ,
to their home, and they held high carnival (
because their work had been so well done, ,
and satan rose from his throne and an- ,
nounced that there was no danger of the t
earth’s redemption so long as these four j
fiends could pay such tax to the diabolic. .
And then all the demons and all the ’
fiends filled their glasses and clicked them ,
and cried: "Let us drink—drink to the ,
everlasting prosperity of the liquor traffic. |
Here’s to woe and darkness and murder ,
and death! Drink! Drink!”
But, whether by allegory or by appalling ‘
statistics this subject is presented, you .
know as well as I that it is impossible to
pxaggcrate the evils of strong drink. A .
plague! A. plague! In the first place, the j
inebriate suffers from tho loss of a good
name. God has so arranged it that no ,
man loses his reputation except by his j
1“' own act. The world may assault a man ,
and all the powers of darkness may as
sault him—they cannot capture him so
long as his heart is pure and his life is ]
pure. All the powers of earth and hell can- ,
not take that Gibraltar. If a man is right, (
all the bombardment of the world for 5, i
10, 20, 40 years will only strengthen him ,
in hKpositlon. So that all you have to ,
do is to keep yourself right. Never mind .
the world. Let it say what it will. It can 1
do you no damage. But as soon as it is ,
whispered, “Ho drinks,” and it can lx? ,
proved, he begins to go down. What clerk ,
can get a position with such a reputation? (
IVhat store wants him? What church of
God wants him for a member? What dy
ing man wants him for an executor? “lie
di inks. 1 stand bob ire hundreds of young
men and I say it m t in flattery—splen
did young mi n, who have their reputation
a- their on'y capital. Your father gave
you a good education or as gixxl an educa
tion as he could afford to give you. Ho
started you in city life. He could furnish
you no means, but he has surrounded you
with Christian influences and a good
memory of the past. Now. young man,
under God you are with your own right
arm to achieve your fortune, and as your
reputation is your only capital do not
bring upon it suspicion by going in and
out of liquor establishments or by an odor
of your breath or l>y any glare of your eye
or by any unnatural flush on your cheeks.
You lose your reputation and you lose
your capital.
The Lonn of Self Henpect.
The inebriate suffers also in the fact
that he loses his self respect, and when
you destroy a man’s self respect there is
not much left of him. Then a man will
do things he would not do otherwise, ho
will say things he would not say other
wise. 'The fact is, that man cannot stop,
or he would stop now. He is bound hand
and foot by the. Philistines, and they have
shorn his locks and put his eyes out and
made him grind in tho mill of a grqat hor
ror. After he is three-fourths gone in this
slavery, the first thing ho will lie anxious
to impress you with is that he can stop at
any time he wants to. His family become
alarmed in regard to him, and they say:
“Now do stop this. After awhile it will
get the mastery of you.” “Oh, no,” ho
says, “ I can stop at any time. I can stop
now, I can stop tomorrow.” His most
confidential friends say: “Why, I’m afraid
you are losing your balance with that
habit. You are going a little further than
you can afford to go. You had better
stop. ’ “Oh, n>," he says, “I can stop at
any time. 1 can stop now.” Ho goes on
further and further. He cannot stop. I
will prove it. He loves himself, and he
knows nevertheless that strong drink is
depleting him in body, mind and soul.
He knows he is going down, that ho has
less self control, less equipoise of temper
than he used to. Why does he not stop?
Because he cannot stop. I will prove it by
going still further. He loves his wife and
children. lie sees that his habits are
bringing disgrace upon his home. The
probabilities are they will ruin his wife
and disgrace his children. He secs all this,
and he loves them. Why does he not stop?
He cannot stop.
I had a very dear friend, generous to a
fault. Ho had given thousands and tens
of thousands of dollars to Bible societies,
tract societies, missionary societies, asy
lums for the poor, the halt, the lame, the
blind, the, imbecile. I do not believe for
20 years anybody asked him for $1 or SSO
or SIOO for charity but he gave it. I never
heard of anybody asking him for help but
he gave it. But he was under the power
of strong drink, and ho went on down,
down, down. His family implored him,
saying, “You are going too far in that
habit; you had better stop.” He replied:
“I can stop any time; I am my own mas
ter. I can stop." Ho went on down,
down. His friends advised and cautioned
him. He said: “Don't bo afraid of mo.
I am my own master; I can stop now; I
know what I am doing." He went on
down until he had the delirium tremens.
Ou down until he had the delirium tre
mens twice. After the second time the doc
tor said: “If you ever have an attack like
this again, you will die. You had better
stop.” He said, “I can stop any time: I
can stop now." He went on down. He
is dead. What slew him? Bum, rum!
Among the last tilings he said was that
he could stop any time. Hu could not
st< q>.
V Warning to the Toting.
Oh. my young friends, I want to tell
you that- there Is a point in inebriation
beyond which if a man go he cannot stop.
But sometimes a man will be more frank
than that. A victim of strong drink said
to a reformer: “It is impossible for me to
stop; I realize it. But, if you should tell
me I couldn’t have a drink until tomor
row night unless I had all my fingers cut
off, I would say, ‘Bring the hatchet and
cut them off.’ ” I had a very dear friend
in Philadelphia whoso nephew came to
him and was talking about his trouble
and confessed it. He confessed he could
not s:,My friend said, “You must
stop.” He said: “I can’t stop. If there
stood a cannon, and it was loaded, and
there was a glass of wine on the mouth of
the cannon, and 1 knew you would tiro it
off if 1 approached, I would start to get
that glass of wine. I must have it. I
can’t get rid of this habit. I can’t get
away from it." Oh. it is awful for a man
to wake up and feel that he js a captive.
I hear him soliloquizing, saying: “I
might have stopped three months ago, but
I can’t stop now. Dead, but not buried.
I
tion of what I once was. I am a caged
immortal, and my soul beats against tho
wires of my cage on this side and beats
against the wires of my cage oh the other
side until there is blood on tho wires and
blood on the soul, but I can't get out. De
stroyed without remedy'”
Again, the man suffers from the loss of
usefulness. Do you know some of tho
men who have fallen into the ditch were
once in the front rank in churches and in
the front rank in reformatory institu
tions? Do you know they once knelt at
the family altar and once carried the chal
ice of tlie holy communion on sacramental
days? Do you know they once stood in
the pulpit and preached the gospel of the
Son of God? We will not forget the scene
witnessed some years ago in my Brooklyn
church when a man rose in the midst of
tho audience, stepped into the aisle and
walked up and down. Everybody saw
that lie was intoxicated. The ushers led
him out. and his poor wife took his hat
and overcoat and followed him to the door.
Who was he? Ho had once been a mighty
minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ in a
sister denomination, had often preached
in this very city. What slew him? Strong
drink ' Oh, what must be the feeling of a
man who has destroyed his capacity for
usefulness? Do not be angry with that
man. Do not lose your patience with him.
Do not wonder if he says strange things
and gets irritated easily in the family. He
has the Pyrenees and the Andes and the
Alps on him. Do not try to persuade him
that these is no future punishment. Do
not go into any argument to prove to him
that there is no hell. He knows there Is.
He is there now!
But he suffers also in the loss of physical
health. The older people in this audience
can remember Dr. Sewell going through
this country electrifying great audiences
by demonstrating to them the effect of
strong drink upon the human stomach. I
am told he hail eight or ten diagrams
which he presented to the people, showing
the different stages in the progress of the
disease, and I am told tens of thousands
of people turned back from that ulcerous
sketch and swore eternal abstinence from
all intoxicants. Gul only knows what th.i
drunkaid suffer- Pain lilr-s on every
nerve and travel- ■ ■■ mnsde and gnaws
on every Ixine and si i.. with every [xiison
ami [mils with t. tore. What rep
tilescrawl over Ins Bering limbs! What
specters stand by hi- midnight pillows!
What groans tear th. air! Talk of the
rack, talk of the film ral pyre, talk of the
Juggernaut He suffers them all at once.
The I nvhriii :<•’* Dentil.
See the attendants stand ha k from that
Ward in the hospital win re the inebriates
are dying. They cannot stand it. The
keepers come through it ami say: • Hush
up now! Stop making rids noise! Be
still! You are disturbing all the other
patients. Keep still now." Then the
keepers pass on, and after they get past
then the poor creatures wring their bands
and say: ‘Oil, God! Help, help! Give
me rum, give me rum ! Oh, God! Help!
Take the devils off of me! Oh, God; oh.
God!” And they shriek, and they blas
pheme, and they cry for help, and then
they ask the keepers t" slay tiiem. saying:
“Stall me, strangle me. smother me. Oil,
God! Help, help! Bum! Give me rum!
Oil, God I lift;)"' They tear out their
hair by the handful, and they bite their
nails into the quick. This is no fancy pic
ture. It is transpiring in a hospital ij
tliis moment. It went on last night while
you slept, and, more than that, that, is the
death some of you will die unless you stop.
I see it coming. God help you to stop lie
fore you go so far that you cannot stop.
But it plagues a man also in the loss of
home. Ido not care how much he loves
his wife and children, if this habit gets
the mastery over him ho will do the most
outrageous things. If need be. in order to
get strong drink he would sell them all
into everlasting captivity. There are hun
dreds and thousands of homes that have
been utterly blasted of it. Ia: i speaking
of no alistraction. Is then 1 anything so
disastrous to a man for th!; Ji.’.. and for
the life to come? Do you tell mo that a
man can be happy when ho knows he is
breaking his wife's heart and clothing his
children with rags? There are little chil
dren in the streets today barefooted, un
kempt, uncombed, want written on every
pat- h l if th’ ’r fad' d div-s and ,>n every
wrinkle of tliiTr prematurely old counte
nance, who would have been in the house
of God this morning as well clad as you
had it not been that strong drink drove
their parents down into penury and then
down into the grave. Oh, rum, rum,
thou despoiler of homes, thou foe of God,
thou recruiting officer of tho pit, I hate
thee I
But my subject takes a deeper tone
when it tells you that the inebriate suffers
the loss of tlie soul. The BilJe intimates
that if we go into tlie future world unfor
given tho appetites and passions which
were regnant here will torment us there.
I suppose when the inebriate wakes up in
the lost world there will be an infinite
thrist clawing upon him. In this world
he could get strong drink. However poor
he was in this world, ho could beg or he
could steal cents to get: a drink that
would for a little while slake his thirst,
but in eternity where will the rum come
from? Dives wanted one drop of water,
but: could not get. it. Where will the ine
briate get tho draft he so much requires,
so much demands? No one to brew it. No
one to mix it. No one to pour it. No
one to fetch it. Millions of worlds now
for the dregs that were thrown on the
sawdusted floor of the restaurant. Mil
lions of worlds now for the rind flung out.
from the punch howl of an earthly ban
quet. Dives called for water. The inc
briate calls for rum.
It Bitetli I.ike a Serpent.
If a fiend from the lost world should
come up on a mission to a grogshop and,
having finished tlie mission in tho grog
shop. should come back, taking on the tip
of his wing one drop of alcoholic, bever
age. what excitement, it would make all
through the world of tlie lost, and. if that
one drop of alcoholic beverage should drop
from the wing of the fiend upon the
tongue of the inebriate, how he would
spring up and cry: “That'sit! That's it!
Rum! Rum! That’sit!'' And all the
caverns of the lost would echo with the
cry: “Give it tome! Rum! Rum'" Ah,
my friends, the inebriate’s sorrow in tlie
next world will not bo the absence of God
or holiness or light. It will be the ab
sence of rum. “Look not upon the wino
when it is red. when it moveth itself
aright in the cup for at the last, it biteth
like a s. rpint, and it stingeth like an
adder."
When I see this plague in tho bind and
when 1 see this destroying angel sweeping
across our great cities I uni sometimes
indignant mul sometimes humiliated.
When a man asks me, “What are you in
favor of for tlie subjugation of this evil. ’’
I answer, “I am ready tor anything that
is reasonable." You ask me, “Are you in
favorof Sonsof Temperance?” Yes. “Are
you in favor of good Samaritans?" Yes.
“Are you in favor of Good Templars?"
Yes. “Are yon in favor of prohibitory
lav. ” Y< - “ \re you in favor of tlie
pledge' ' Yes. Combine all the influ
ences. O Christian reformers and philan
thropists! Combine tiiem all for the ex
tirpation of this evil.
Thirty women in one of tho western
states banded together, and withanespe
ciai ordination from God they went forth
to the work and shut up all the grogshops
of a large village. 1 liiny women, with
their song and with their prayer. And if
1,000 or “.non Christian men and women
with an esjieelnl ordination from God
should go forth feeling the responsibility
of their work and discharging their mis
sion they could in any city shut up all the
grogshops.
But 1 must not dwell on generalities. I
must come to speeifi, s. Are you astray?
If there is any sermon I dislike, it is a
sermon on generalities. I want jxirHonali
t.ies. Are you astray? Have you gone so
far you think you cannot get back? Did I
say a few moments ago that a man might
go to a point in inebriation where he could
not stop? Yes, I said it, and I reiterate
it. But I want yon also to understand
that, while the man himself of his own
strength cannot stop, God can stop any
man. You have only to lay hold of the
strong arm of the Lord God Almighty.
He can stop you. Many summers ago I
went over to Xew York one Sabbath even
ing. our church not yet being open fi r
theautumnal services. I went intoaroom
in the Fourth ward, New York', where a
religious service was being held for re
formed drunkards, mid I heard a revela
tion that night that I had never heard be
for( >_[j or “t> men standing up and giv
ing testimony such as 1 had never heard
given. They not only testified that their
heartshad been changed by the grace of
God, but that the grace of God had extin
guished their thirst. They went on to say
that, they had reformed at different times
before, but immediately fallen because
they were d'fing tlie wiiole work in their
own streiutth. ' But as soon as wo gave
our bear’s to God. liny said, “anil the
love of t le i.< rd J. - : Christ ha.- come

look off today upon the desolation. Some
, of you are so far on in this habit, although
there may be no outward indications of it
—you never have staggered along tho
street—the vast majority of people do not
know that you stimulate, but God knows,
and you know, and by human calculation
there is not one chance out of five thou
sand that you will ever lie stopped. Be
ware! There are .some of you who are my
warm personal friends to whom I must
say that, unless you quit, this evil habit,
within ten years as to your body, you
will lie down in a drunkard s grave and,
as to you immortal soul, you will lie down
in a drunkard s hell' It is a hard thing
to say, but it is true, and I utter tho warn
ing lest I have your blood upon my soul
Beware! As today you open the door o
your wino closet let tho decanter flash

you pour out tho bevern re let tho foam at

the great day of God’s judgment, when a

Everyone who i,- a sufferer from bad
blood inany firm should write Blood
Balm Company for a sample bottle of
their famous B. B. B.—Botanic Bkicd
Balm.
B. B. B. cures because it literally drives
the poison ot Humor (which produces
blood diseases) out of the blood, bones and
body, leaving the flesh as pure as a new
born babe’s, and leaves no bad after effects.
No one can afford to think lightly of
Blood Diseases. The blood is the life
thin, bad blood won’t cure itself. You
must get the blood out of your bones and
body and strong lien the system by new,
fresh blood, aint in this way the -ores and
ulcers, cancers, rheumatism, eczema, ca
tarrh, etc., are cured. B. B. B. does all
this tor you thoroughly and finally. B B.
B. is a powerful Blood Remedy (and not a
mere tonic that stimulates but don't cure)
and for this reason cures when all else
fails.
No one can tell how tad blood in the
system will show itself. In one person it
will break out in form of scrofula, in
another person, repulsive sores on the face
or ulcers on the leg, started by a slight
blow. Many persons show bad blood by
a breaking out of pimples, sores on tongue
or lips. Many persons’ blood is so bad
that it breakes out in terrible cancer on
the face, nose stomach or womb. Cancer
is the worst form of bad blood, and hence
cannot be cured by cutting, because you
can’t cut out the bad blood; but cancer
and all or any form ot bad blood is easily
and quickly removed by B. B. B. Rheu
matism and catarrh are both caused by
bad blood, although many doctors treat
them as local diseases. But that is the
reason catarrh and rheumatism are never
cured, while B, B. B. has made many
lasting cures of catarrh and rheumatism.”
Pimples and sores on the face can never

People wiio are predisposed to blood
disorders may experience any one or all
of the following symptoms: Thin blood,
the vital functions are enfeebled, constitu
tion shattered, shaky nerves, falling of the
hair, disturbed slumbers, general thinness,
and lack of vitality. The appetite is bad
and breath foul. The blood seems hot in
the lingers and there are hot flushes all
over the body. If you have any of these
symptoms your blood is more or less dis
eased and is liable to show itself in some
form <1 sdre or blemish. Take B. B. B.
at once and get rid of the inward humor
before it grows worse, as it is bound to do
unless the blood is strengthened and
sweetened.
