WASHINGTON, Joly 10.—This sermon of
when bo many are leaving by
<«t a*
XVI 28 “Do thyself-’noharm.’’
11 ere is a would tw suicide arrested in
his deadly attempt. He was a,sheriff, and,
according to tie Roman law, a t»Hlff
hlrafelf must suffer the punishment due
an escaped prisoner, and if the prisoner
breaking jail was sentenced to be endun
geoned for three or four years then the
sheriff must be endungeoned for three or
four years, and if the prisoner breaking
jail was to have suffered capital punish
ment- then the sheriff must staffer capital ■
punishment. The sheriff had received:
especial charge to keeps sharp lookout for
Paul and Silas. The government h*d DO*
much confidence in bolts and bars to keep
safe these twa clergymen, about whom
there seemed to be something strange and
supernatural. Sure enough, by yniraou
lous.power, they are free, and faehherlff,
waking out of a sound sleep and auppos
ing these ministers have run away and
knowing that they were to die for preach
ing. Christ and realising that he must
therefore die, rathep than go Under the
executioner’s ax on the morrow and staffer
public disgrace resolves to precipitate his (
own decease. But before the sharp, keen,
glittering dagger of the sheriff could
strike his heart one of the unloosened pris
oners arrests the blade by the command,
“Do thy self no harm.”
Suicide Among the Ancients.
In olden times and where Christianity
had not interfered with it suicide was con
sidered hpnorable and a sign of courage.
Demosthenes poisoned himself when told ‘
that Alexander’s embassador had demand
ed the surrender of the Athenian orators.
Isocrates killed himself rather than sur
render to Philip of Macedon. Cato, rather
than submit to Julius Csesar, took his
own life, and three times after his wounds
had been dressed tore them open and per
ished. Mithridates killed himself rather
than submit to Pompey, the conqueror.
Hannibal destroyed his life by poison from
his ring, considering life unbearable. Ly
curgus a suicide, Brutus a suioide. After
the disaster of Moscow Napoleon always
carried with him a preparation of poison,
undone night his servant heard the ex
emperor arise, put something in a glass
and drink It, and soon after the groans
aroused all the attendants, and it wail
only through utmost medical skill that he
was resuscitated. Times have changed,
and yet the American coasciaMie need* to
be toned up on the subject of suicid*.
Have you seen a paper in the lart month
that did not announce the passage oat'of
life by one’s own behest? Defaulter*,
alarmed at the idea of exposure, qult ilfe
precipitately. Men losing large fortunes
go out of the world because they cannot
endure earthly existence. Frustrated af
fection, domestic infelicity, dyspeptic im
patience, anger, remorse, envy, jealousy,
destitution, misanthropy, are considered
sufficient causes for absconding from this
fe by parts green, by laudanum, by IjM
donna, by Othello’s dagger, by halter,
leap from the abutment of a bridge, by
earms. More cases of felo de se in the;
st two years than any two years of the
world’s existence, and more in the last
month than in any 12 months. The evil
is more and more spreading.
A pulpit not long ago expressed some
doubt as to whether there was really any
thing wrong about quitting this life when
it became disagreeable, and there an found
in respectable circles people apologetic for
the crime which Paul in the text arrested.
I shall show you before I get through that
suicide is the worst of all crimes, and I
shall lift a warning unmistakable. But
in the early part of this sermon I wish tc
admit that some of the best Christians
th*t have ever lived have committed self
destruction, but always in dementia and
not responsible. I have no more doubt
about their eternal felicity than I have of
the Christian who dies in his bed 'la fffa
delirium of typhoid fever. While the
shock of the catastrophe is very great, I
charge all these who have had Christian
friends under eerebral aberration step off
the boundaries of this life to have no
doubt about their happiness. The dear
Lord took them right out of their dazed
and frenzied state into perfect safety.
How Christ feels toward the insane you
may know from the way he treated the de
moniac of Gadara and the child lunatic,
ftnd the potency with which he hushed
tempests either of sea or brain.

While we make this merciful and right
eous allowance in regard to those who
were plunged into mental incoherence I
declare that the man who in the use of his
reason, by his own act, snaps the bond be
tween hie. body and his soul, goes straight
late perdition. Shall I prove it? Revela
tion xxi, 8, “Murderers shall have their
part In the lake which burneth with fire
and brimstone.’’ Revelation xxii, 10,
'‘Without ate dogs and sorcerers and
whoremongers and murderers.” You do
not belipve the New Testament? Then
perhaps you believe the Ten Command
ments, “Thou shalt not kin.” Do you
w that all these passages refer to the tak
ing of the life of others? Then I ask you
if you are not as responsible tor your own
life as for the Use of others? God. gave
you a special trust in life and made you
the custodian of your life, and he made
you the custodian of no other life. He
fenqrt wo arms to strike pack assailants,
two eyes to watoh tin invasion, and a nat
. fatal Idvb of Use whiah ought ever to be on
tire alert. Assassination pt others is a
mild.erima compared with the assassina
tion of yourself, because In the latter case
it is treachery to an especial trust. It is
-the stranger of a castle you were especial
ly appointed to keep. It is treason to a
natural law, and it is treason to God added
to ordinary murder.
To show how God in the Bible looked
Unoptiiftsmrime I point you to the rogues’
picture galjery in some parts of the Bible,
'She pictures Of-the people who have com
mitted this unnatural crime. Here is the
headless trunk of Saul on the walls of
Bathshan. Here is a man who chased
little David —10 feet in stature chasing 4.
Here is the man who consulted a clairvoy
ant, witch of finder. Here is a man who,
whipped in battle, instead of surrendering
his sword with dignity, as many a man has
done, asks his servant to slay him, and
when that servant declined, then the giant
plants the hilt of his sword in the earth,
the sharp point sticking upward, and he
throws his body on it and expires—the
coward, the suicide! Here is Ahltophel,
the Machiavelli of olden times, betraying
his bwt friend, David, in order that he
may become prime minister of Absalom,
ana joining that fellow In his attempt at
pasriclde. Not getting what ha wanted by
change of yefatis* he take* a ghort sfit fMt
tat A disgnMeful life into the suicide’s
eternity. There he is, the ingrate!
’’Hero is Abimelech, practically a suicide.
He is with an army, bombarding a tower,
when a woman in the tower takes a grind
stone from it* place end drops it upon his
head, and with what life he has left in his
cracked skull he commands his armor
bearer, “Draw thy sword and slay me,
lest men say a woman dew me.” There
is his post mortem photograph in the book
of Samuel.
But the hero of this group is Judas Is
cariot. Dr. Donne say* he was a martyr,
and we have in our day apologists for him.
And what wonder, In this day when we
have a book revealing Aaron Burr as a
pattern of virtue, and this day when we
uncover a statue of George Sand as the
benefactress of literature, and fa tills day
when there are betrayals of Christ on the
part of some of his pretended apostles—a
betrayal so black it makes the infamy of
Judas Iscariot white! Yet this man by
his own hand hung up for the execration
of all ages, Judas Iscariot.
Increase of Self Murder.
All the good men and women of the Bi
ble left to God the decision of their earthly
terminus, and they could have said with
Job, who had a right to commit suicide if
smxT
ipgufferuble carbuncles and everything
people pelting him with comfortless talk
while hp fits on aheap of ashes scratching
hie amhawitha'yltae es broken pottery,
yet crying out in triumph, “All the days
of my appointed time will I wait till my
change comes.”
Notwithstanding the Bible is against
this evil and the aversion which it creates
by the loathsome and ghastly spectacle of
those who have hurled themselves-out of
lite, and notwithstanding Christianity is
against it and arguments and the use
ful lives and tire 111ustrieps deaths of its
disciples, it U • fact alarmingly patent
thatjsnleidata oa the increase. What is
the cause? I Charge upon "infidelity and
agnosticism tfas whole thing. If there be
no hereafter, or if that hereafter be bliss
fiil Without reference to how we live and
how we di >vhy not move back the fold
tag doors between this world and the
next? ARff when our existence here be
oonres troublesome why not pass right
over into elysium? Put this down among
your most solemn reflections. There has
never been a case of suicide where the
operator was not either demented and
therefore irresponsible or an infideL I
challenge all the ages and I challenge the
universe. There never has been a case of
self destraction while in full appreciation
•. rs hisfajjjnortality and iff fae fact that
that ImmortaUty <<»>d be glorious or
wretched according as he accepted Jesus
Christ or rejected him.
You say it is a business trouble or you
Say It is electrical currents or it is this or
it Is that or it is the other thing. Why not
go clear back, my frienp, and acknowledge
that fa every case it 1* the abdication of
reason or the teaching of InfHpMty, which
practically says, “If you don’t like this
life, get out of it, and you will land either
in annihilation, where there are. no notes
to pay, no persecutions to suffer, no gout
to tiprment, or you will land where there
will be eveiytklng glorious and nothing
to pay tor it?’ Infidelity has always beefi
apologetic fcnmett Immolation. After Tom
Paine’* “Art,* Reason” was published
«®d was a marked in-
H«H« «< UadtotiaC.
Ama in London heard Mr. Owen de
liver hl* infidel lecture socialism and
want home, sat drtwt and wrote these
words, “Jesus Christ is one of the weakest
characters fa history, and the Bible is the
greatest possible deception,” and then
shot himself. David Hume wrote these
words: “It would be no crime for me to
divert the Nile or the Danube from its
natural bed. Where, then, can be the
crime in my diverting a few drops of blood
froffi their ordinary otefifeif ’ And, haf*
lug written the essay, ho loaned it to a
friend, the friend rend it, wrote a letter at
thanks and admiration and nhot himself.
Appendix to the same book.
Rousseau, Voltaire, Gibbon, Montaigne,
were apologetic for self Immolation. In
fidelity puts up no bar to people rushing
out from this world Into the next. They
teach us it does not make any difference
how you live here or go out of thia world.
You will land either In an oblivious no
where or a glorious somewhere. And In
fidelity holds the upper end of the repe for
the suicide and alms the pistol with which
a man blows his brains out and mixes the
strychnine for the last swallow. If Infidel
ity could carry the day and persuade the
majority of people fa this country that it
docs not make any difference how you go
out of this world you will land safely, the
Potomac would be se full of corpses the
boats would bo impeded In their progress,
and the crack of the suicide's pUtol would
be ne more alarming than the rumble of
a street car.
I have sometimes heard it discussed
whether the groat dramatist was a Chris
tian or not. He was a Christian. In his
last will and testament he commends his
soul to God through the sacrifice of Jesus
Christ. I know that he considered appre
ciation of a future existence the mightiest
hindrance to self destruction:
For who would bear the whips and acerns of
time,
The appresser’s wrong, the proud man’s con
tumely,
The pang* of despised love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin ? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death 1 —
The undiscovered country from whose bourne
No traveler returns—puzzles the will?
Would God that the coroners would be
brave fa rendering the right verdict, and
when in a case of irresponsibility they,
say, “While this man was demented he
took kis life," in the other case say, “Hav
ing.read Infidel books and attended, infidel
lectures, which obliterated from this
man’s mind all appreciation of future
retribution, he committed self slaughter. ”
Religion’* Bright Light.
Have nothing to do with an infidelity so
cruel, so debasing. Come out of that bad
company Into the company of those who
believe the Bibl& Benjamin Franklin
wrote, “Os this Jesus of Nazareth I have
to say that the system of morals he left
and the religion he has given us are the
best things the world has ever seen or is
likely to see. ” Patrick Henry, the electric
champion of liberty, says, “The book
worth all other books nut together is the
Bible.” Benjamin Rush, the leading
physiologist and anatomist of kis day, the
great medical scientist—what did he say?
“The only true and perfect religion is
Christianity.” Isaac Newton, the leading
philosopher of his time—what did he say?
“The sublimest philosophy on earth is the
philosophy of the gospel.” David Brew
ster, at the pronunciation of whose name
every scientist the world over bows his
head—David Brewster saying, “Oh, this
roligien ha* bean a great figfeb to ms, a
very great light all my days.' ’ Piwment
Thiers, the great French statesman, ac
knowledging that he prayed when he sold,
“I invoke the Lord God, in whom lam
glad to believe.” David Livingstone, able
to conquer the Hon, able to conquer the
panther, able to conqfler the savage, yet
conquered by this religion, so when they
find him dead they find him on his knees.
Salmon P. Chase, chief justice of the
supreme court of the United States, ap
pointed by President Lincoln, will take
the witness stand. “Chief Justice Chase,
please to state what you have to say about
the book commonly called the Bible.”
The witness replies: “There camo a time
fa my life when I doubted the divinity of
the Scriptures, and I resolved as a lawyer
and judge I would try the book as I would
try anything fa the courtroom, taking evi
dence for and against. It was a long and
serious and profound study, and, using the
same principles of evidence fa this reli
gious matter as I always do In secular mat
ters, I have come to the decision that the
Bible Is a supernatural book, that It has
come from God, and that the only safety
for the human race is to follow its teach
ings.” “Judge, that will do. Go back
again to your pillow of dust on the banks
of the Ohio.” Next I put upon the wit
ness stand a president of the United
States—John Quincy Adams. “President
Adams, what have you to say about the
Bible and Christianity?” The president
replies: “I have for many years made it a
practice to read through the Bible once
a year. My custom is to read four or five
chapters every morning immediately after
rising from my bed. It employs about an
hour of my time and seems tomathemost
suitable manner of beginning the day. In
what light soever we regard the Bible,
whether with reference to revelation, to
history or to morality, it is an invaluable
and inexhaustible mine of knowledge and
virtue.” “Chancellor Kent, what do you
think of the Bible?” Answer: “No other
book ever addressed Itself so authorita
tively and so pathetically to the judgment
and moral sense of mankind.” “Edmund
Burke, what do you think of the Bible?”
Answer: “I have read the Bible, morn
ing, noon and night and have ever since
been the happier and the better man for
such reading. ”
Sentence of Infidelity,
Young men of America, come out of
the circle of infidels—mostly made up of
cranks and Imbeciles—into the company
of intellectual giants and turn your back
on an infidelity which destroy* body and
soul.
Ah, infidelity, stand up and take thy
sentence! In the presence of God, angels
and men, stand up, thou monster! Thy
Up blasted with blasphemy, thy cheek
scarred with uncleanness, thy breath foul
with the corruption of the ages! Stand
up, satyr, filthy goat, buzzard of the na
tions, leper of the centuries! Standup,
thou monster, infidelity! Part man, part
panther, part reptile, part dragon, stand
up and take thy sentence! Thy hands red
with the blood in which thou hart washed,
thy feet crimson with the human gore
through which thou hast waded, stand up
and take thy sentence! Down with thee
to the pit and sup on the sobs and groans
of those thou hast destroyed and let thy
music be the everlasting miserere of these
whom thou hart ifanned! I bzand the
forehead of Infidelity with all the crimes
of self Immolation for the last century on
the part of those who had their reason.
My friends, if ever your life, through
Its abrasions and its molestations, should
seem to be unbearable, and you are tempt
ed to quit it by your own behest, do not
consider yourself as worse than others.
Christ himself was tempted to cast him
self from the roof of the temple, but as he
resisted so resist ye. Christ came to medi
cine all wounds. In your trouble I pre
scribe life instead of death. People who
have had it worse than you will ever have
it have gone songfully on their way. Re
member that God keeps the chronology of
your life with a* much precision as he
keepe fad Ahronotafff of fiAfams,
grave as well as your cfadle.’

Why was it that at midnight, just at

and too late. The 480 yearn were up at 19
o’clock, and the destroying angel struck
the blow, and Israel was free. And God

lead you an from earthly bohdaso. By
his grace, make not the worst of things,
but the best of them. If you must take
the pills, do not chew them. Your ever-

earthly perturbations, jurt as Caiua gave
to Agrippa a chain of gala as heavy as had
been a chain of iron. For the asking you
may have the same grace that was given
the Italian martyr, Algsrius, who down iu
the darkest of dungeons dated his letters
from “the delectable orchard of the Leon
ine prison.” And remember that this
brief life te surrounded lw a rim.—a very
thin but very important rim—and close
up to that rim 1* n great eternity, and you

that rim and separates this from that To

There is a sertowless werid, and M is se

church militant to church triumphant,
and you and I have 10,000 reasons for
wanting to go there, but we will never get
there either by self Immolation or Impim

came to do that thing, we want to ga in
at just the time divinely arranged, and
from a couch divinely spread, and then
the clange of the sepulchral gates behind
us will be overpowered by the clang of the
opening of the solid pearl before us, O
God, whatever others may choose, give
