Subject: ’Turned to Darkness”—A Graphic
Word-Picture of a Godless World-
Deplorable Condition Into Which In¬
fidelity Would Plunge the World.
Text: “The sun shall be turned into dark¬
ness.”—Acts li., 20.
Christianity is the rising sun of our time,
and men have tried with the uprolling va¬
pors of skepticism and the smoke of their
blasphemy to turn the sun into darkness.
Suppose the archangels of malice and hor¬
ror should be let loose a little while and be
allowed to extinguish and destroy the sun
in the natural heavensl They would take
the oceans from other worlds and pour
them on the luminary of the planetary sys¬
tem, and the waters gc- hissing down amid
tho ravines aud the caverns, and there is
explosion after explosion until there a re
only a few peak: of fir) left In the sun, and
these are cooling down and gojng out un¬
til tho vast continents of flame are reduced
to a small acreage of f re, and that whitens
an'd cool3 off until there are only a few
coals left, and these are whitening and go¬
ing tho out until there is not a spark left in all
mountains of ashes and the valleys of
ashes and the chasms of ashes. An extin¬
guished sun! A dead sun! A burled sun!
Let all worlds wail at the stupendous ob¬
sequies.
Of course this withdrawal of the solar
light and heat throws our earth into a uni¬
versal chill, and the tropics become the
temperate, and the temperate becomes the
arctic,and there are frozea rivers and frozen
lakes and frozen oceans. From arctic to an¬
tarctic regions the inhabitants gather in
tevard the center and find tbt equator as
tli poles. The slain forests are piled up
int > a great bonfire, and around them
gai uer the shivering villages and cities.
The wealth of the coal mines is hastily
poured into the furnaces and stirred into
rage of combustion, but soon the bonfires
begin to lower, and the furnaces begin to
go out, und the nations begin to die. Coto¬
paxi, Vesuvius, Etna, Stromboli, California
geysers, cease to smoke, and the ice of
hailstorms remains unmelted In their
crater. All the flowers have breathed their
hast breath. Ships with sailors frozen at
\he Wheel, mast, and helmsmen frozen at the
aud passengers frozen In the cabin.
All nations dying, first at the north and
chen at the south. Child irosted and dead
in the cradle. Octogenarian frosted and
dead at the hearth. Workmen with frozen
itand on the hammer aud frozen foot outhe
shuttle. Winter from sea to sea. All con¬
gealing winter. Perpetual winter. Globe
of frigidity. Hemisphere shackled to hem¬
isphere by chuins of ice. Universal Nova
Zembla. The earth an ice floe grinding
against other ice floes. The archangels of
malice and herror have done their work,
and now they may have their thrones of
glacier and look down upon the ruin they
have wrought. What the destruction of
the sun in the natural heavens would be
to our physical earth the destruction of
Christianity The would be to the moral world.
sun turned into darkness!
Infidelity in our time is considered a
great joke. There are people who rejoice
to hear Christianity caricatured and to hear
Christ assailed with quibble and quirk and
misrepresentation and badinage aud harle¬
quinade. I propose to-day to take infidel¬
ity and atheism out of the realm of jocu¬
larity into one of tragedy ami and show you
-what infidels propose what, if they are
successful, they will accomplish. There
tire those in all our communities who would
like to see the Christian religion over¬
thrown and who say the world would be
better without it. I want to show you
what is the end of this road, and what is
the terminus of this crusade, and what this
world will be when atheism and infidelity
have triumphed over it, if they can. Isay,
tf they can. I reiterate it, if they can.
In the first place, it will be the complete
and unutterable degradation of woman-
hood. -«I will prove it by facts and argu¬
ments wbioli no honest man will dispute.
In all communities and cities and States
and nations where the Christian religion
has been dominant woman’s condition has
been ameliorated and improved, and she is
deferred to and honored in a thousand
things, and every gentleman takes off his
hat before her. If your associations have
been good, you know that the name of
wife, mother, daughter, suggest gracious
surroundings. You know there are no bet¬
ter schools and seminaries in this country
than the schools and seminaries for our
young ladies. You know that while wom¬
an may suffer injustice in England and the
United States, she has more of her rights
In Christendom than she ha3 anywhere
else.
Now, compare this with woman’s condi¬
little tion in lands where Christianity China, has made
or no 'advance—in in Barbay,
in Borneo, in Tartary, iu’Egypt, in Hiudus-
tan. The Burmese sell their wives and
daughters as so many sheep. The Hindoo
Bible makes it disgraceful and an outrage
fora woman to listen to music or look out
of the window in the absence of her hus¬
band and gives as a lawful ground for di¬
vorce a woman's beginning to eat before
her husband has finished his meal. What
mean those white bundles on the ponds and
riverain China in the morning? Infanticide
following infanticide. Female children de¬
stroyed simply because they are females.
Woman harnessed to the plow as an ox.
Woman veiled and barricaded and in ail
styles of cruel seclusion. Her birth a mis¬
fortune. Her life a torture. Her death a
horror. The missionary of the cross to¬
day in heathen lands preaches generally to
two groups—a group of men who do as
they please and sit where they please; the
other group, women hidden and care¬
fully secluded in a side apartment, where
they may hear the voice of the preacher,
but may not bo seen. Nareflnement. No
liberty. No hope for this life. No hope for
the life to come. Ringed nose. Cramped
foot. Disfigured face. Embruted soul.
Now, compare those two conditions.
How far toward this latter condition that
I speak of would woman go if Christian in¬
fluences were withdrawn and Christianity
were destroyed? It is only a question of
dynamics. If an object be lifted to a cer¬
tain point and not fastened there and the
lifting power be withdrawn, how long be¬
fore that object wiU fall down to the
point from- which ii started? It
will fall down, and 1c will go
still farther than the point from which
it started. Christianity has Hfttd woman
up from the very depths 01 degradation
almost to the skies. If that lifting power
be withdrawn, she falls clear back to the
depth from which she was resurrected,
not going any lower, because there is no
lower depth, and yet notwithstanding the
fact that the sulvation of woman from
degradation aud woe is the Christian re¬
ligion—and the only influence that has
«ver lifted her in the social scales is
Christianity—I reject have Christianity. read that there I make are
women who

servations. be
If infidelity triumph aim the demoralization Christianity
overthrown, it means
of society. The one idea in the Bible that
atheists and infidels most hate is the idea
of retribution. Take away the idea of re¬
tribution and punishmeut from society,
and it will begin very soon to disintegrate,
and take away from the minds of men the
fear of hell, and there are a great many of
them who would very soon turn this world
into a hell, The majority of those who are
ludfgnnnt against the Bible becauso of the
Idea of punishment are mou whose lives are
bkd or whoso hearts are impure and who
hate the Bible because of the idea of fu¬
ture punishment, for the same reason that
- i-iminals hate the penitentiary. Oh, I have
card this brave talk about people fearing

text world, and I have made up my mind

their immoralities in the face it the com-
raunlty, and I have heard them defy the
judgment day and scoff at the Idea of any
further consequenoe of their sin, but when
they could oame hear them to die for they shrieked until you
nearly two blocks, and
In tfie summer the night the neighbors got uf
to put windows down, because they
could pot endure the horror.
The mightiest restraints to-day ngnlnst
theft, against immorality, against libertin¬
ism, against crime of nil sorts-the
mightiest restraints kuow'that are the retributions ol
eternity. Men they can escape sou]
the law, but down In the offenders’
there is the realization of the fact that
they oannot escape God. He stands at ths
end of the road of profligacy, and He will
not clear the guilty. Take all idea of re¬
tribution and punishment out of the
hearts and minds of men, und it would not
bo long before our cities would become
Sodoms. The only restraints against the
evil passions of the world to-day are Bible
restraints.
Suppose now these genernls of atheism
and infidelity got the victory and suppose
they marshuled a great army made up of
the majority of the world. They are In
companies, in regiments, in brigades—the
whole army. Forward, march! ye hosts of
infidels and atheists, banners flying be¬
fore! banners flying behind, banners In¬
scribed with the words: “No God! No
Christ! No Punishmsntl No Bestraints!
Down With the Bible! Do as You Pleasel”
The sun turned into darkness!
Forward, marchl ye great army of in¬
fidels and atheists. And first of all you
will attack the churches. Away with those
bouses of worship] They have been stand-
ing there so long deluding the people With
consolation in their bereavements and sor?
rows. All those churches ought to bo ex¬
tirpated; they have done so muoh to re¬
lieve the lost and bring home the wander¬
ing, and they have so long held up the
idea of eternal rest after the paroxysm of
this life Is over. Turn the St. Peters and
St. Pauls and the temples and tabernacles
Into clubhouses. Away with those oliurches!
Forward, march! ye great army of in¬
fidels and a*heists, and next of all they
scatter the Sabbath schools filled with
bright eyed, rosy cheeked little ones who
are singing songs on Sunday afternoon
and getting Instruction when they ought
to be ou the street corners playing marbles
or swearing on the commons. Away with
them! Forward, march! ye great army all of
infidels and atheists, and next of they
will attack Christian asylums—the institu¬
tions of mercy supported by Christian
philj-. thropies. deaf Never mind the orippled blind
eyes, ind the ears, and the
limbs, and the darkened intellects. Let
paralyzed old age pick up Its own food,
and orphans fight their own way, and the
half reformed go back to their evil habits.
Forward, march! ye great army of infidels
and atheists, and with your battleaxesliew
down the cross and split up the manger of
Bethlehem.
On, ye great army ef infidels and athe¬
ists, and now they come to the graveyards
and the cemeteries of the earth. Pulldown
the sculpture above Greenwood’s gate, for
it means the resurrection. Tear away at
the entrance of Laurel Hill the figure of
Old Mortality and the chisel. On, ye great
army of infidels and atheists, into the grave¬
yards and cemeteries, and where you see I !
“Asleep in Jesus,” cut it away, and where
you find a marble story of heaven, blast it,
and wheu you find over a little child’s
grave, “Suffer little children to come unto
Me,” substitute the words “delusion” and
“sham,” and where you find an angei in
marble, strike oil the wing, and when you
come to a family vault, chisel on the door,
“Dead once, dead forever.”
But on, ye great army of infidels and
atheists, on! They are’heights will attempt to scale
heaven. There to be taken.
Pile hill on hill, and Pelion upon Ossa, and
then they hoist the ladders against the
walls of heaven. On and on until they blow
up the foundations of jasper aud tne gates
of pearl. Theyjeharge up the steep. Now
they aim tor the throne of Him who liveth
forever and ever. They would takedown
from Their high place the Father, the Son,

throne!” they say. “Down forever! Down
out of sight! He is not God. He has no

A world without a head, a universe with-

Patricide, regicide, deicide. That is what
they mean. That is what they will have,
if they can. I say, if they can. Civiliza¬
tion hurled back into semibarbarism, and
semibarbarism driven back into Hottentot
savagery. The wheel of progress turned
the other way aud turned toward the dark
ages. The clock of the centuries put back
2000 years. Go back, you Sandwich Isl¬
ands, from your schools, and from your
colleges, and from your reformed condi¬
tion, to what you were in 1820, when the
missionaries first came. Call home the 500
missionaries from India and overthrow
their 2000 schools, where they are trying to
educate the heathen, and scatter the 140,-
000 little children that they have gathered
out of barbarism into civilization. Obliter¬
ate all the work of Dr. Duff in India, of
David Abeel in China, of Dr. King in
Greece, of Judson in Burma, of David
Brninerd amid the American aborigines,
and send home the 3000 missionaries of the
cross who are toiling in foreign lands, toil¬
ing for Christ’s sake, toiling themselves
into the grave. Tell these 3000 men of God
that they are of no use. Send home the
medical missionaries who are doctoring
the bodies as well as the souls of the dying
nations. Go home, London Missionary
society! Go home, American board of
foreign missions! Go home, ye Moravians,
and relinquish baok into darkness and
squalor and death the nations whom ye
have begun to lift.

the infidels und the atheists who openly
and out and out and aboveboard preach
and practice infidelity and atheism, will be
considered as criminals against society, as
they are now criminals against God. So¬

with soul gangrened and ichorous and ver¬

At the beginning God said, “Let there be
light,” and light was, and light is, and
light shall be. So Christianity is rolling
on, and it is going to warm all nations, and
all nations are to bask in its light. Men
may shut the window blinds so they can¬
not see it, or they may smoke the pipe of
speculation until they are shadowed under
their own vaporing, but the Lord God is a

People Who Eat Arsenic.
The old adage that tvliat is one man’s
poison is another man’s food is strik¬
ingly Illustrated by an account of an
idiosyncracy of the Styrians recently
published Le In a correspondent’s letter in
Figaro of Paris. The Styrians are
said to eat arsenic as the Asiatic eats
opium or the European chews tobacco
—as a matter of taste. There are peo¬
ple whose doses vary from pellets the
size of a millet to pills the size of a
pea, of various kinds of arsenic, the
favorite being the white quality known
as ratsbane. They will take it daily, or
on alternate days, or twice a week, ac¬
cording to circumstances; generally
they abstain from the luxury at the
time of the new moon, beginning small
doses with the young moon and in¬
creasing them to a maximum by the
full moon. Why this lunar observance
it is hard to guess, unless, as the corre¬
spondent says, the arsenic makes them
strong and healthy and they fancy
that the waging moon weakens them
and renders the greater proportion of
the restorative necessary. But what¬
ever be their reason, the fact remains
that the regular consumers live to good
ages, and are strong, healthy and cour¬
ageous.—New York Times.

A Wonderful General Remedy.
Dr. Sloan’s Liniment is known by horsemen
the world over. The fact that it can be used in
?fy way that, any liniment can be used makes
it invaluable for strains, sprains. eorene6s in
muscles and similar purposes. The fact, fur-
thormore, that this remedy is remarkable in
Its penetrating qualities is greatly in its favor,
Where Sloan’s Liniment is used the necessity
Of excessive rubbing is done away with, as it
penetrates quickly to the seat of the trouble
and thus relieves pain without the necessity of
undue friction, which is liable to make swollen
or inflamed J >ints, tender muscles and tendons
still worse. Dr. Sloan’s Liniment can be given
with great advantage internally in cases of
colic, cramp, etc. This famous remedy will
also bo found ns valuable for the use of man,
either internally or externally.
A copy of his Treatise on the Horse, which is
replete with much useiul and valuable informa-
tion in regard to the care of this noble animal,
will be sent to any person writing Dr. Sloan,
Boston, Mass., for it.

Useful Philippine Bonnets.
The hat of a Philippine woman is
useful in almost any emergency. It Is
made of palm leaf or rattan, and has
a brim so wide that it serves as an um¬
brella in case of need. Two women
may sometimes be seen sheltered un¬
der one hat as they cross the street in
the rain. But this broad-brimmed bat
is not only an umbrella and a head
covering, It answers well as a basket,
and in the market the women display
their fruit or fish upon It, placing It on
the ground before them.—Scientific

Kliyine and Reason.
There is a new song going the rounds

Going in some other store.
You can’t sell us any stalo goods,
We have opened wide our eyes;
We don’t want to trade at your store,
’Cause you do not advertise.

A StMBihlp Brake.
Collisions at sea, from the awful ca¬
tastrophe of H. M. 8. Victoria down¬
ward, might have been averted and
valuable lives saved, says a Croatian
onglneer named Czevotkovltch, If the
colliding steamers bad been lifted with
Ills patent marine brake.
The Idea of the thing la simplicity It¬
self. The brake consists of a large
curved plate of steel attached to the
stern of the steamer, which can be low¬
ered at will Into the water. The screw
of a steamship, It should be explained,
when working ahead, causes a stream
of water of terrific force to flow back
in the direction from which the ship
has come, and by lowering the plate of
steel Into this stream the power Is ob¬
tained necessary to check the ship's
way and bring It to a standstill Inde¬
pendently of the engines.
Since the stream caused by the screw
is of greater force when the ship la
steaming fast, the brake would work
equally well whether the speed were
twenty knots or ten knots.
The Clotilde, a steamer of 1,000 tons,
when steaming at a speed of ten knots,
was brought to an absolute standstill
within thirty seconds, during which
she traveled so slowly that only twenty
feet were traversed after the brako
was applied. This result was obtained
in spite of the fact that the engines
