TALMAGE'S SERMON.
THE DOCTOR TAKES FOR HIS SUB
JECT, “THE BEAR A RAI OF GOB,”
And Preaches to a Largo Avdience the 'Evils
of the World and the Work Neces
sary to Subdue Them.
Brooklyn, January 21.—Singularly appro
priate and Impressive was the old gospel
hymn as it was sung this morning by the
thousands of Brooklyn tabernacle led on
by cornet and organ:
“Arm of the Lord, awake, awake!
I’ut on thy strength, the nations shake.
Rev. Dr. Talmage took for his subject,
••The Bare Arm of God.” the text being
Isaiah Lii: 10—“ The LoriX hath made bare
His holy arm.”
It almost takes our breath away to read
Borne of the Bible imagery. There is such
boldness of metaphor in my text that 1
have been for some time getting my cour
age up to preach from it. Isaiah, the evan
gelistic prophet, is sound.ng the jubilate of
our planet redeemed, and cries out. Ihe
Lord hath made bare His holy arm. W hat
overwhelming suggestiveness in that figure
o£ speech, “The bare arm of God!" The
people of Palestine to this day wear much
hindering appare., and when they want
to run a special race, or lift a special bur
den, or fight a special battle, they put
off the outside apparel, as in our land, wiien
u man proposes a special exertion he puts
oft his coat and rolls up his sleeves. It alk
through our foundries, our machine shops,
our mines, our factories, and you will find
that most of the toilers have their coat
off and their sleeve rolled up.
Isaiah saw that there must be a tremend
ous amount of work done before this world
becomes what it ought to be, and he fore
becomes what it ought to I e, and He tore
secs it a;' aceumpli'lied, and accomplish 1
by the Almighty; not as we ordinarily think
of Him, but by the Almighty with the
sleeve of His robe rolled b.. k to His shoul

out all

tence? Tin* Bible sp-aks a fin and again
of God’s outstr-tcherl arm. b it only once,
and that in the text, of the bare arm of
Jiy text makes it plain that the rectifica-
tion of this world is a stupendous undertak
ing. It takes more power to make this world
over again than it took to make it at first.
A word was only necessary for the first cre
ation. but for the new creation the unsleev
ed and unhindered forearm of the Almighty!
The reason of that I can understand. In
the shipyards of Liverpool, or Glasgow, or
New York, a great vessel is constructed.
The architect draws out the plan, the length
of the beam, the capacity of tonnage, the
rotation of wheel or screw, the cabins, the
masts and all the appointments of this
great palace,of the deep. The architect
finishes his work without any perplexity,
and the carpenters and the artisans toil on
the craft so many hours a day, each one
doing his part, until with flags flying, and
thousands of people huzzaing on the docks,
the vessel is launched. But out on the sea
that steamer breaks her shaft and is limp
ing slowly along toward harbor, when Carib
bean whirlwinds, those mighty hunters of
the deep, looking out for prey of ships,
surround that wounded vessel and pitch it
on a rocky coast, anil she lifts and falls in
the breakers until every joint is loose, and
every spar is down, anil every wave sweeps
over the hurricane deck as she parts mid
ships. Would it not require more skill and
power to get that splintered vessel off the
rocks and reconstruct it than it required
originally to build her? Aye! Our World
that God built so beautiful, and which
started out witii all the flags of Edenic foli
age and witii the'chant of paradisaical
bowers, has been sixty centuries pounding
in the skerries of sin and sorrow, and to get
her out, and to get her off, and to get her on
the right way again, will require more of
Omnipotence than it required to build her
and launch her. So I am not surprised that
though in the dry-dock of one word our
world was made, it will take the unsleeved
arm of God to lift her from the rocks and
put her on the right course again. It is evi
dent from my text, and its comparison with
other that it would not be so groat an
undertaking to make a whole constellation
of worlds, and a whole galaxy of worlds,
and a whole astronomy of worlds, and
swing them in their right orbits, as to take
this wounded world, this stranded world,
this bankrupt world, this destroyed world,
and make it as good as when it started.
Now, just look at the enthroned difficul
ties In the way, the removal of which, the
overthrow of which seem to require the bare
right arm of Omnipotence. There stands
heathenism, with its f'.'.OiW.O'iO victims. 1
do not care whether you call them Brah
mins, or Buddhists, Confucians or Fetish
idolaters. At the world's fair in Chicago
last summer those monstrosities of religimi
tried to make themselves respectable, but
the long hair and baggy trousers and trink
eted robes of their representatives cannot
hide from the world the fact that those reli
gions are the authors of funeral pyre, and
Jugcrnaut crushing, and Ganges infanticide,
and Chinese shoe torture, and the aggre
gated massacres of many centuries. They
have their heels on India, on China, on Per
sia, on Borneo, on three-fourtlis of the
acreage of our poor old world. 1 know that
the missionaries, who are the most sacri
ficing and Christ-like men and women on
earth, are making steady and glorious in
roads upon these built-up abominations of
the centuries. All this stuff that you see in
some of the newspapers about the mission
aries as living in luxury anil idleness is
promulgated by corrupt American or Eng
lish or Scotch merchants, whose loose be
havior in heathen cities has been rebuked
by the missionaries, and these corrupt mer
chants write home or tell innocent and un
suspecting visitors in India or China or the
darkened islands of the sea, these falsehoods
about the consecrated missionaries who,
turning t.qcir backs on home and civilization
and emolument and comfort, spend their
lives in trying to introduce the mercy of
the gospel among the downtrodden of hea
thenism. Some of tiiose merchants leave
their families in America or England or
Scotland, and stay for a. few years in the
ports of heathenism while they are making
their fortunes in the tea or ri or opium
trade, and while they aie thus absent from
home, give themselves to orgies of disso
luteness, such as no pen or tongue could,
without the abolition of all decency, at
tempt to report. 'l’he presence of the mis
sionaries witii their pure aril noble house
holds in those heathen ports, is a coi tant
rebuke t ■ sm< h del 1 miscreants.
If Satan should visit h< aven, from which
he was once roughly but justly expatriated,
and he should write home to the realms
pandemoniac, his correspondence published
in Diabolos Gazette, or Apollyonic News,
about what he had seen, he would report
the temple of God and the lamb as a
broken-down church, and the house of many
mansions as a disreputable place, and the
Cherubium as suspicious of in >ia!s. Sin
never did like holiness, and you had better
not depend upon Satani*' report of the svib
lime and multipotent work of our mission
aries in foreign lauds. But notwithstanding
ail that these men and women of God have
aohievi d, they feel, and we all foci that if
the idolatrous lands are to be Christianized,
there not !s to be a power from th- heavens
tlmt has not yet condescended, and we feel
like crying out in the words of Charles
M'Sley:
Arm of the I.ord, awake, awake,
Put on Thy strength, the nations shake!
Aye, it is not only the laird's arm that
is needed, the holy arm, the outstretched
arm, but the bare arm!
There, too. stands Mohammedanism, with
its 176,000.000 victims. Its Bihl is the Ko
ran, a book not quite as large as our New
Testanuni, which was revealed to Mo
hammed when in epileptic fits, and resusci
tated from these fits, he dictated it to
pie than any other book > ver written. Mo
hs inmed, the founder of that religion, a po
lygamist, with superfluity of wives, the first
s:. p of his religion on the body, mind and
•aven of the Koran is an everlasting Sod
om, an infinite seraglio, about which Mo
hammed promised that each follower shall
have in that place seventy-two wives, in
lition to all the wives he had on earth,
but that no old woman shall ever enter
heaven. When a bishop of Englund re
cently proposed that the 'nest way of saving
Mohammedans was to I t them keep their
religion, but engraft upon it some new prin
ciples from Christianity, lie perpetrated an
evclesia tlcal joke, at which no. man can
laugh, who has ever seen the tyranny and
domestic wretchedness which always ap
pear where the religion gets foothold. It
lias marched across continents, and now
proposes to set up its filthy and accursed
banner in America, and what, it has done
for Turkey, it would like to do for our na
tion. A religion that brutally treats wo
manhood ought never to be fostered in our
country. But there never was a religion so
absurd or wicked that it did not get dis
ciples, and there are enough fools in Amer
ica to make a large discipleship of Moham
medanism. This corrupt religion has been
making steady progress for hundreds of
years, and notwithstanding all the splendid
work done by the Jessups, and the Goodells,
and the Blisses, and the Van Dykes, and
the Posts, and the Misses Bowen.., and the
Misses Thompsons, and scores of other men
and women if w horn the world was not
worthy, there it stands, the giant of sin,
Mohammedanism, with one foot on the
heart of won an and the other on the heart
of Christ, whil« - mumbles from its mina
rets this stupendous blasphemy: “God is
great, and Mohammed is his prophet.” Let
the Christian printing presses at Beyrout
and Constantinople keep on witii their work,
and the men and women of God in the mis
sion fields toil until the Lord crowns them,
but what we are all hoping for is something
supernatural from the heavens, as yet un
seen, something stretched down out of the
skies, something like an arm uncovered, the
bare arm of the god of nations!
There stands also the arch demon of al
coholism. Its throne is white, and made of
bleached human skulls. On one side of
tlmt throne of skulls kneels in obeisance
and worship, democracy, and on the other
side, republicanism, and the one that kisses
the cancerous and gangrened foot of this
despot the oftencst gets the most benedic
tions. There is a Hudson river, an Ohio, a
Mississippi of strong drink rolling through
this nation, but as the rivers from which I
take my figure of speech empty into the
Atlantic or the gulf, this mightier flood of
sickness, and insanity, and domestic ruin,
anil crime, and bankrupc.y, and woe, emp
ties into the hearts, and the homes, and the
churches, and the time and the eternity of
a multitude beyond all statistics to number
or describe. All nations are mauled and
scarified with baleful stimulus, or killing
narcotic. The pulque of Mexico, the cashew
of Brazil, the hasheesh of Persia, the opium
of China, the guavo of Honduras, the wedro
of Russia, the soma of India, the aguar

THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION; A r . * ...A, GA., TUESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1894.
Arabia, the mastic of Syria, the
raki of Turkey, the beer of Ger
many, tlie whisky of Scotland,
the ale of England, the all-drinks of Amer
ica are doing their best to stupefy, inflame,
dement, impoverish, brutalize and slay the
human race. Human power unless rein
lorced from the heavens can never extir
pate the evils I mention.
Much good has meen accomplished by
the heroism and fidelity of Christian re
formers, but the fact remains that there are
more splendid men and magnificent women
this moment going over tlie Niagara abysm
of inebriety than at any time since the first
grape was turned into wine, and the first
bead of rye began to soak in a brewery.
When people touch this subject they are apt
to give statistics as to how many millions
are in drunkards’ graves, or with quick
tn a 1 marching on toward them, 'i’he land
is full of talk of high tariff anil low tariff,
but what about tlie highest of all tariffs In
this country, the tariff of $900,000,000 which
rum put upon the Cnited States in IS9I, for
that is what it cost us. You do not trembie
or turn pale when 1 say that. 'l’he fact is
we have become hardened by statistics and
they make little impression. But if some
one could gather into one mighty lake all
the tears that have been wrung out of or
phanage and widowhood; or into one organ
diapason' all the groans that have been
uttered I>y the suffering victims of this
holocaust; or into one whirlwind all the
sighs of centuries of dissipation; or from
the wicket of one immense prison have look
upon ns the glaring eyes of all those
whom strong drink lias endungeoned. we
might perhaps realize the appalling
di solation. But, no. no, the sight would
forei'T blast our vision: tlie sound
would forever still our souls. Go on with
your lemperance literature; go on with
your temperance platforms; go on with
your temperance laws. But we are all hop
ing for something from above, and while
the bare arm of suffering, and the bare arm
of invalidism, and the bare arm of poverty,
and the bare arm of domestic desolation,
from which rum hath torn the sleeves, are
lift' d up in beggary and supplication and
despair, let tlie bare arm of God strike
the breweries, and tlie liquor stores, and
the corrupt polities, and the license laws,
and the whole inferno of grog shops all
around tlie world. Down, thou accursed
bottle, from the throne! Into the dust,
Hum king of the demijohn! Parched be
thy lips, thou wine cup, with fires tlmt
shall never be quenched!
But 1 have no time to specify tlie mani
fold evils that challenge Christianity. And
I think I irnve seen in some Christians, and
read in some newspapers, and heard from
some pulpits, a dislpartenment, as though
Christianity were so worsted that it is
hardly worth while to attempt to win this
world for God, and that all Christian work
would collapse, and that it is no use for
you to teach a. Sabbath class, or distribute
tracts, or i xhort in prayer meetings, or
preach in a. pulpit, as Satan is gaining
ground. To rebuke that pessimism, ‘lie gos
pel of -mashup, I preach this sermon, show
ing that yon are on the winning side. Go
ahead! Eight on! What I want to make
oal today is that our ammunition is not
exhausted; that all which has been, accom
plished Ims been only the skirmishing be
fore the great Armageddon; that not more
than one of the thousand fountains of
beauty in the King’s park has begun to
play; that not more than one brigade of
the innumerable hosts to be marshaled
by the rider on the white horse lias yet
taken the field: that what God has done
yet has been with arm folded in flowing
robe; but that the time is coming when
he will rise from his throne, and throw oft
that robe, and come out of tlie palaces of
eiernitv. and come down the stairs of heav
en with all-conquering step, and halt in
the presence of expectant nations, and
flashing his omniscient eyes across the work
to be done, will put back the sleeves of his
ri ;iit arm to tlie shoulder, ami roil it up
there, and for the world’s final and com
plete rescue make bare his arm. Who can
doubt the result when according' to my text
Jehovah docs his best: when th ' ■''•«-

when th'* last sword of eti warm all tlio c

slip GOT ON A DRUNK.
ho Antics of a Female “Physician” in
Charlotte, N. C.
Charlotte, N. January 21.—(Special.)—
The quietude of this city was disturbed
yesterday by the appearance in our midst
of a handsomely dressed woman in the
garb of a New York hospital nurse claim
ing to be a doctor from that city. On her
arrival in Charlotte she took rooms at the
Central hotel and soon afterwards was in
troduced io Charlotte's female doctor, Dr.
Annie L. Alexander.
'ibis strange woman, on entering the ho
tel, in quite a masculine hand, wrote on
the register: "Dr. Catharine Taylor, New
York." and as such she was introduced to
I >r. Alexander. \ strong atta. hint nt for
o.di other immediately sprung into exist
ence b-.-iw -e.-i the two female doctors and
Dr. Taylor was invite-’, at once to the resi
.- of Dr. Annie Alexander, on Tryon
S tr--. I. Whil there, Dr. Taylor made a fa
. :,i >ie ixnpn - on on the household of
Dr. Alexander, and a pi. .-sing invitation
was . x tended the New York female expert
to repeal her visit.
Orders the Drinks.
Returning to the hotel, Dr. Taylor sent
down to the saloon for a whisky punch,
telling the servant that she felt in need
of such a stimulant, as she was weary of
her long journey. This was repeated sev
eral times and after getting pretty well un
der the influence of hex- toddy, she hurried
ly put. on her hat and went around to the
it doctors of the city, paying Hi- -m
ii: . liv call. She introduced herself as
an a. i. iant of Dr. T. G.dlliard Thomas,
ot Nt w York, and also said that she was
at one time associated with Dr. Austin
Elint, also of New York.
Tlie impression she made on the medical
fraternity of Charlotte was that she was I
a fraud, but her manner and familiarity
with nr lie-.1 lit. i.m.n ■ kept the doctors
p nest ing for awhile. On entering one ol
the drug stores she was introduced to a
Phy ia.li, who at this time is not. practie- t
i:e- his profession. The two drank several
pla sos wiiiskv an I started out to call on
mother physician. They had not gone far
before both were staggering. Dr. Taylor
became boisterous and the police wore
ah .nt to run her in. Seeing that she was
going io be arrested, she braced up and
apparently realized her situation.
Ordered to Vacate.

Who ever knew of a shoe lace to break

This is pure, unadulterated malice; that

And there are times, moreover, when in
animate objects exhibit a fiendish ingenuity
in these outrages against mankind. This
is evidenced by the fact that when a man
comes home at night and wants to light
the gas he goes all t.Moiigh his clothes and
invariably discovers a lone match in his

eludes his fingertips and after five
