they could appeal, and yet grief muitalwaya
find eipretaion. If there ho no human oar to
hear it then the agonized aonl will cry it alrud
to the wind tend the wood* and the watorr.
But there wat an ear that war willing to llatoa.
There la a tondtr pathos, and at tho fame tlraj
a most admiriblo picture, in tho words of ray
tut: “They went and told Jeona.” He oonld
understand all their grief, and Be Immediately
soothed it Our burdens are not more than
half to htnvy to any If anothor la thrott
under the other end of them. Here we
find Cbrlet, Ills brow ahadomd
with grief, standing amid the gronp of disci-
pics, who, with tears, and violent gesticula
tions, and wringing of hands, and outcry of be
reavement are oxpreaslog their woo. Baphael,
with hi* itUlfhl brash patting upon tho wall
of a palace tome seine of sacred story, gave
sot to sklllltal % stroke as when the plain hand
of tho evangelist writes: “They went and told
Jeana.”
Ths old Gotha end Vandals once earns down
upon Italy from tho north of Europe, and tboy
upect the gardens, and they broke down tho
alum, and swept array avory thing thatwai
seed and brsnuftil. So there la orar and anon
in tbs history of all tba tots and daughters of
car race an incursion of ronghbanded tioobloe
that como to plunder and ranmek and put to
the torch all that men highly price. There la
no cave ao deeply cleft into the mountains ai
to allow ns shelter, and tba foot of fleetest
courier cannot bear ns beyond the quick par-
suit. The arrows they pnt to the string fly
with nnontng dart, nntil wa fall pierced and
stnaned.
I feel that I bring to yon a moot appropriate
menage. I mean to bind np all your griefs in
to a bundlo, and set them on fin with a spark
from God's altar. Tho tame prescription that
ennd tho sorrow of tho dladples will earn all
jour heartaches. I have read that when God
frey and his army marched out to capture Jo>
roaalem, as thoy cams over the hills, at the
first Hath of the plnnaeloo of that boantlfol
city, the army that had marched la alienee
lifted a shout that mada the earth tremble.
O, yen toMItre of Jesus Christ, marching on
toward leaven, I would that today, by
sonic gloim from tho palace of God’s mercy
and God’s strength, yon might ho lifted into
grsat rejoicing, and that before this terries Is
end id yon might talas one glad hosanna to tho
Lord!
In the fltst place, I commend the behavior
of them dladplee to all thoaeln this audionoo
who are tinfol and nnperdoned. Than comes
ailme In almost every man'o history when he
feele from some sourco that bo has as erring
nature. Tha thought may not have mch heft
as to fell him. It may ha only like the flash
of an owning cloud joat after a very hot sum
mer day. One man to get rid of that Impress
ion will go to prayer; another will itimnlato
himself with ardent apirlte, and another man
will dive deeper in oecnlarltles. Bat some
times a man cannot got rid of theao impress*
Iona. Tha fact Is, when g man finds out that
bis eternity Is poised upon a perfect uncer
tainty, and that tho next moment his foot
may slip, be must do aomolhiag violent to
make himself forgot where he stands, or elm
fly for refuge.
If there ato any here who have resolved that
they would rather die of this awful cancer of
siu thin to have the heavenly surgeon cit it
out, let mo say, my dear brother, yon mingle
for yonnelf a bitter cop. Yon fly In tha fact
of yonr everlasting interests. You crouch un
der a yeihe and yen bite the dust, when, this
moment, yon might rise np a crowned conquer
or. Driven and perplexed and harressad as
yon have been by sin, go and tell Jesus. Tore-
lax tbo grip of death from yoor soul, and plant
yonr unshackled feet upon the golden throne,
Christ let tho tortureo of tho bloody mount
transfix Him. With the beam of Bis own cross
Ho will break down tba door of your
dongeon. From tha thorns of hla own crown
he will pick enongh gems to make yonr brow
Maze with eternal victory. In ovary tou on
hla sret cheek, In every gash of hla aids. In
every long blackening mark of laceration from
shoulder to shooldtr, In tho gsava-ahsttering,
heaven-storming death groan, I hoar him say,
“Him that comoth unto mo, I will In no wise
cast out.”
“Ob,” but yon say, “Instead of curing mv
wound yon want to make another wound,
namely, that of conviction!" Hava yon aver
known a surgeon to coma and dad a chronic
disease, and then with sharp oanatio barn II alt
out) Bo the grace of God cornea to the
old ion of sin. It has long bean
rankling than, but by divine
grace It la burned out through tbaao fires of
conviction, “tho flesh coming again as tha flash
of s little child;” “where iln abounded, grace
much atom aboundnth.” With tha tea torn-
sand annrdousd sins of yonr lifo, go and tall
Jems. You will never gat rid of yonr due In
any other era;; and remember that tha bread
invitation which I extend to yon trill not al-
ways bo extended.
King Alfred, before modern time pieces wore
invented, oicd to divide tbo day into three
parts, sight hours each, and then had three
was candles. By tba time tha first candle had
horned to tha socket, eight hoars had gone,
and when tba aeoood candle had burned to tha
socket, another eight hours had foot, and when
all tha tbrea etadkg were gone out, then the
day bad poised. Oh, that aoaa of ns
instead of calcnUtlng our days, and nights,
and sears by any ssithly timo-pfeco, might
calculate them by tha nnmbara ?of opportuni
ties and mercies which are horning down nnd
nut, never to bo relighted, loot nt lsat wo bo
amid tba foolish virgins who triad: “Oar
loops have gone out!”
Again: I command tha behavior of tha dis
ciples to all who are tempted. I have hoard
mm in midlife sty they had never boon led
into teupatton. If yon have not fait tempts-
ticn it la because yon have not triad to do
right. A man hoppled and handenffod, as
long ao bo lies quietly, does not teat tho power
of tba chain: but whon ha riles np, and with
determination resolves to snap tha
handcuff or brack tho hopple, then he finds the
power ef the Iron. And there ere men who
have been for ten, and twenty, end thirty
can bound band and foot by evil habit! who
have never felt the power of the chain, bocaoso
they have never tried to break it. It It very
easy to yoos down with tha stream and with tbo
wind, lying on yonr oars: but Just tarn nroanl,
and try to so up against tho wind and tho tl-le,
and you will find it la a different nutter. As
long as we go down tbo current of oar evil
habit wa seem to got along quite smoothly; bat
if after awhile are turn around and bead tho
other way. toward Christ, had pardon, and
heaven, oh, th» how wo have to lay to tha
ears! Yon all have yonr temptation. You
have ona kind, yon another, yon another, not
owe person escaping.
It is all folly far you tom? to woe on* “I
•onld not bo tempted as you arm” Tha Ban
■kinks It le ao strange that tho fish should ho
caught with a hook. Tho flak thinks tt teas
strange that the lien should be caught with a
trap. Yon see oome mu svith a eold, phleg
matic temperament, and you any: “I aupposo
that man has not any temptation.” Yes, u
much as you havo. In hie phlegmatic nature
he has a temptation to indolence and conirr-
“»*«« *® a over-eating and drinking; a temp-

phatie, yon will have temptation. Satan has a

Aik tha usd Christian whether ha la never

think yon have conquered the power of tempt
ation you are very mnoh mistaken.
A man who wan tads throne pretended ho
was very walk and sleklyjtadithowas elevated
ha would soon begone. Ho crawled upon hla
cratches to tho throne, and having attained It,
Ha laid; “It waa troll for

flnenos; but give it a chance, and It will bo a
tyrant In your aonl; It will grind yon to at
oms. No man has finally and forever over
come temptation nntil he hu left the world.
Bnt what are you to do with theao tempta
tion? Tell everybody about them? Ah, what
a silly man yon would be! As well might a
commander in a fort send word to the enemy
which gate of the caatlo la leut barred, as for
yon to go and tell what all yonr frailtlot are.
Tba world will only caricature yon, will oaly
aooff at yon. What then must a man do?
When the ware Strikes him with! terri le dash
shall he have nothing to hold onto? In this
contest with “tho world, tho Utah, and tho
devil,” shall a man havo no help, no counsel?
Our teat Intimate* something different. In
those ayes that weft with the Bothany listen
I sea shining hope. In that voice which apsko
nntil tbs gnvo broke and tha widow of Naln
had hack her lost son, and tha sea slept, and
sorrow stupendous woko npln tho arms or

and tho promise; “Gait thy burden on the
land, and He will snttaln thee.” Why should
y on carry yonr tendons any longor ? Oh, yon
weary rcul, Christ has been In tbia conflict.
He asy* “My grace shall be sufficient for you,
Yon shall not be tempted above that yoa are
able to bear.” Therefore, with all yonr temp
tations, go, aa there disciples did. and tall

Again: I commend tha behavior of tho dis
ciples to all those who are abused, and also-
dried and persecuted. Whan Herod put John
to death tho disciples knew that tbair own
hoada ware not aate. And do yon know that
every John has a Harod? Than are parsons
In life who do not wish yon very well. Yonr

Vo man gets through llfo without having a

trample yon; and what are yon to do? I tell
yen plainly, that all who aenre Christ must suf
fer persecution. It la the wont sign iu tho world
for yon to bo ablo to lay: “I haven’t an
enemy in tho world.” A woe la pronounced -n
the Bible against tho one of whom everybody
speaks well. If yoa are at pesos with all tha
world, and everybody like* yon and approves
- mi work, It la because yon are an idler In the
Did’s vineyard and are not doing yonr duty.
AU those who havo served Christ, however
eminent, hare been maltreated at oomo stage of
their expeitenon. Yon know it was ao In tho
time of George Whitfield, when ho atood and
Invited men Into tba kingdom of God. What
did tho learned Dr. Johnson say of him? Ho

iW waa It whon Hobart Hall stood and opoks

lie Toro the Confederate EnrviTora 1 AmcU*
i. tlcu in Avguttn ou Memorial Day.
Mr. President, Ltdiea and Brother Soldiers:
y.y crmitijmcr, I thank your pr r ”idlag officer for
his ccmpliincntary Introduction, aud you for jour
net ms tctepUon.
I am phj rirally unable to do more than seek to
imp: cis upon your mind* uud heart* one thought,
v hich fills my cwn with anxious apprehensions.
OJiat thought Is this: There Is danger that the
south may be Inadequately represented, or wholly
mlMtprt rented, In the fhturo history of this coun
try. Misrepresentation threatens the conquored
altrays-the conqueror never. At remarked oy mo
on another occasion, In the average estimation of
maiklnd, victory vindicates, while defeat dooms to
mlrjudiment and thonghtleia condemnation.
There to in this troth a phyloeophy as plain
and profound at the Jaws of human nature, in
volving consequences so calamltlous that every
lover of his people should unite to avert them,
bhtnld tueh misfortune befall us, U requires no
prophet to forfeit the character and extent of those
consequences. First, there;would : follow a decrease
of our appreciation of this section and of Us people.
Second, ss an inevitable consequence, a dlmlnu-
tion of onr own self respect, next, gradual but cor*

characteristics which are the traditional, recogniz

Let us do our part In their erection hero this
morning. Let us straiifthen the foundations ol
cur ftotutc manboed and thuacter by enhancing
the self respect of s-.nthero youth. Let us ground
that self respect on the facts, not oa the Actions of
onr history. Jn order to contribute to this cticu-
tisllj patriotlo cud I call your attention briefly to
itmo cl tho many seasons which should forever sc-
curelfor the south a measure of Aril Justice, If not
of commanding precedence In American history.
In dlsctttfiog this subject 1 shall indulge in no
crltichmsol otherrections. Ill know the spirit
of this people, or my own, wo loro onr country—
our wholo country—bccauto It Is our country. Wo

enloglums, nor even Indulge tn commendation* of
the south, ot her than those which are pronounced
by the historic records of tho past. I shall not ig
nore the far t that this wasa slave-bolding section,
and that It was tho lrut homo of slavery on the
North American continent. Unt in the Interest

great were the evils (nnd they wore many) of ne*
Bio slavery, it was fsr, very tor, from itelng au
unmitigated evil. lamented by philanthropists..
denounced by nolltidans, exaggerated by the
uninformed, these evils have >»ecn dtouuwed ami
the arguments against that Iiutitmlon poured;
into the public car through liooks. In magazlnej,:
from plstforms and pulpits, until tho trnth ha*
been obscured, the very elect deceived, and
tho faith of our "children In the justico aud
humanity of their folhers seriously threatened.,
Forever Ally years the record of ttheao evils, and
these adverse arguments have been conspicuously
placed upon ono side of the balance sheet. It la a;
remarkable feet that the beneddent results from;
that institution have rarely, if ever, been frilly aud
fairly prsonttd upon the other. With every psge
of American history brimftit of thoeo bencftcjut
resulto, we have been too tardy In amphaslzlug
them to onr children and to those who have Igno
rantly a wailed ns. Of course, tn tho brief remarks
I shall be able to make this morning, I can only
prerent a few of those bcncQcial results, and with,
the hope that inch Imperfect presentation may In-
dure others to underlako the patriotlo task.
In tho Orit place it will be admitted ptrhapt—
but whether admitted or not, Ills true-that no age
nor country has ever produced a civilization or a
nobler type than that which waa born In tha aooth
era plantation home, and which drear its nutri
ment and Inspiration from tha rural life of tho'
southern people. It was a civilization where par-
cay ol ronthern manhood, and Increase our loy
alty and devotion to our whole country.
l.c t us trace the south's career steo by step,
through every stoge of American progress. Wh it
was tho lint oRlclal and conspl jnous act leading to
i: dependence? It was the action of North Caroll
i a, a loutbern colony, weak In numbers and rc
sources, dcclaringSheiself a free and independent
remmanwealth more than a year iuadvauca of the
general declaration and laangtiratlng her state gov
enmenL Ibis southern colony thus became the
Aug btatcr < i the colonies, and her movement the
great land-mark In tho early progress of our revo
lution.
lil hat next? Then came doubt and apprchonvlon
agitation end Indecision among alt tho colonists.
Who was it that then came to the rescue? Who
waa it that wrote the pungent resolution* embody
ing American menace, and, with lm par toned e'e
quence, sent them like clectrio currants throuth all
tho colonics? It was an unheralded and un
trained member of the house of Bargeiscs In the
colony ol Virginia.
What next? Then came additional British laws
bringing Increased Its Utah burdens, and Indopea-
deuce Is every whore demanded. Who then w rote
for the American people their united and deAant
declaration? It waa a patriotic and gifted young
southerner.
Note the next step. Rebellion became a nooetM
ty. Separation waa decreed and war ensaod. II
waa still a southerner who lad the raw troons of tho
colonies against the trained armies ofOreat Britain?
Hnt the south's leadership did not end with the
cessation of hostilities. When Independence was
achieved and the momentous problem of freo and
stable government was to be solved, aud It wa*
•gain a southerner whoso marked aseendency
ach'eved fbr him the proud distinction of "Father
of the Constitution."
When the glgantlo power of fireat Britain wav to
bo met In a second great conAict, again U wav a
southern commander who led the undisciplined
soldiery of this newly catabUshed republic to an
other great victory.
W'bcu Mexico waa to bo met and onr boundaries
lo be extended it was a Virginian and a Louisian
ian, both southerners, who led tho American hotls
through burning sauds to repoated, swift and com
plete furcesreo.
Let me now briefly present the south's record in
furnishing chief magistrates to the nation. For
mote than twenty Avc years tho results of our un
happy war havo practically debarred tho xouth
from the presidency, but there was a period of sev
enty-two years antedating that era of paaa'on and
of blond. Bow stands tho record of presidential
services for that seventy-two year*? The south fur
nished presidents for forty-nine years and three
months: the other sections for twenty-two years and
nine months. Frior to ttCO every president, with
out an exceptton, whose administration was in
dorsed by a second election %ss furnished by these
southern stales During tbs entire llfo of the re
public but ten presidents have been re-elected by
the people. Of these ton the sooth furnished eight:
the other sections two, and on* of these two was of
southern birth, blood and lineage.
Lnl perhaps impartial history writ contain no re
cord of this section more cherished by
people than the acknowledged
Integrity of Its public servants end
the Incorruptible and religions llfo of Its cHIzstm.
It Is perhaps suAlclcnt to say lor our public men
that their record oT incorruptibility has nover boon
surpaiscd, if ever ©quilled, In the governmental
experience of mankind. Tho Irrefutable proof to
found In the fact that from Goorge Washington
down through all onr national life, with tempta
tions ever present and opportunlUcsjalmndant,,
ro southern representative his eve? grown rich In
onicc. This Is Indeed high praise; but I think It
Just praise or onr pnbllo men.
To the private citizen of tho wmth tho same gen-'
cral characteristics may be trnthfrilly ascribed. It
to admitted that tho character or a people to not

fortunato for tho whole cotmlry that
