THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION', aTjjANTA. GfA.. TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 23 1884. TWELVE PAGES. li - THE CAUSE OF SUICIDE. DR. TALMAGE'S SERMON oil SELF- DESTRyCTlON. ???*ne Drew Out Hit Sword and Wonld Haro Killed Elmsrif. Bnpposing that tba Prisoner had Tied, Bat Paul Cried With a Load Voice, ???Do Thyself no Harm:?????? Brooklyn, September 21.???[Special].???The opening hymn at the Brooklyn tabernacle to day was: ???Our God, our help In ages past,. Our hope for yean to corner Dr. Talmage expounded the llth chapter'of the epistle to the Hebrews, and preached on ???She Cause of Suicide," taking) hi* text from Acts xvi.27 and 8;???IIe drew out his sword and would have killed himself, supposing that the prieouers had fled, but Paul cried with a loud voice: ???Do thyself no harm 1' " Dr. Talmage spoke as follows: Hero is a would-be suicide arrested fn his deadly attempt. He is a sheriff having prison era in charge. According to the Roman law the bailiff had to suffer the punishment that was due any culprit escaping, and* iftho prisoner breaking jail urns to have been cn dunge.pncd three or lour years then the keeper must lie endungeoned three or four years, and if the prisoner escaping was to have suffered capital punishment then the keeper must suf fer capital punishment. Tho sheriff had*re ceived unusual charge to keep a cleso lookout for Paul and Silas. There wa* something strange and supernatural about them, and the goverment had not much confidence iu bolts and bars to hold fast these two incarcerated clergymen. And now, sure enough, they are loosed by miraculous power, and as they were to die for the crime of preaching Christ, the sheriff supposed he would have to die, and rather than go under tho executioner's axe on tlie morrow and suffer public disgrnco he would precipitate his own decease. But the sharp, keen, cruel dagger which tho sheriff was aiming at his own heart halts at tho com mand of one of tho unloosed prisoners: ???Do thyself no harm 1??? * In Olden times and when Christianity had not interfered with it, suicide was popular and considered a sign of courage. Demosthoues poisoued himself when Alexander's amb.um- ilcr demanded that tho Athenian orators be Mirrendered. Isocrates, tho orator, starvod himself to death rather than surrender to Philip of Maccdon. Cato slow himself rather than submit to Cccsnr, and after tho wound* had been dressed three times Cato tore them open and died. Mithridates poisoned himself to escape Pompey, the conqueror. Hannibal killed himself with poison, which ho always carried in a ring because he thought life un bearable. Lycurgus, a suicide. Brutus great philosopher, at ninty-eight years of ago passing out of a school, fell and put a linger out of joint, and becauso of tho accident hanged himself. Alter his Moscow retreat Napoleon always carried a preparation of opium for self-destruction, and his servant one night heard him riso and put something into a glass aud drink it, and soou after there followed groans that awakened nil his atten dants, and it took utmost medical skill to re suscitate him from the stupor of the opiate. So the crime goes down through tho ages and modern society ueeds some toning-up on the subject of suicide. You can't tako up a newspaper without seeing the account of a pas sage out of life by one's own hand. Defaulters, alarmed at the nros]>ect of exposure, quit life then, you believe in the Ten Commandments; ???Thou sbalt not kill." Do you say all these refer to the taking of tho lile of others? I ask is not a msn as much responsible in regard to his own life as the lile of others? Your life is committed to your especial care. You are its custodian as you are the custodian of no other life. God has given you means for its defense, arms with which to strike back assailants, eyes with which to watch vnvaders, aud a natural love of life that was intended always to be on the alert. Assassination of others is a mild crime as compared with the assassination of yourself, because in this last case you are treasurers of an especial trust, and you sur render a castle you were especially bound to protect. It is nigh treason against natural Jaw, and high treason to God added to mur der. That God is against self-immolation I show you a rogues gallery in tho Bible, the pic tures put there as warning to all men against this unnatural deed. There hangs the Head less trunk ot Saul on tho walls of Bathsham. This is the great big coward who tried to kill little David, ten feet of staturo chasing four. This is tho man who consulted with the clair voyant, the witch of Endor. Completely whipped in battle instead of surrendering his ???word with dignity ns hundreds of hordes havo done, he asks his servant to kill him; and, the servant declining, the giant plants the hilt of his sword in the greuud and turns- tho sharpened point of it up and llings hfmself upon it. And there his picture hangs in tho rogues' gallery of miscreants. There also is Abithophel, the Macceavclli of . . Bible times. He betrayed David iu prospect of being prime minister to Absalom and joined that fellow in his attempt at patricide. Ahithophol's change of politics not securing him what ho wanted, ho took a short cut out of a disgraced life into a suicide's eternity,and In 1st Samuel yon have his post mortem photograph. Yonder also is Abimelcch, practically a self-murderer. While he was bombarding a tower a woman took a grindstone from its placo and dropped it upon his bead, leaving just enough life in bis cracked skull to say to his armor-bearer: ???Draw thy sword and slay rco that men say not ???awomau slew him,'" and, thrust through at his own command, he was practically a suicide, and his picture hangs iu the gallery among cowardly imbeciles. But the hero of this group,!* Judas Iscariot. Dr. Donne, in his celebrated'book, calls him a martyr. And in our time some havo been his apologists. And what wonder, iu this ago which has a book reviewing Aaron Burr as a patron of virtue, and which has a monument recently built to George Band as a boncfactor of literature, aud which has cases of betrayal of Christ among his pretonded apostles so block that in the contrast Judas Iscariot's in famy is white. But there be is, after soiling his Master for about $15,. suspended by his own bnnd for tho execration of all centuries. All the good and honorable men and woraon of the Bible left to God tbo decision of their earthly terminus. And they could all havo exclaimed with Job, who, though ho had good reason for suicide if any man over had, what with liia property jpno and his body allamo with insufferable-carbuncles, and nothing of bis home left except tho curso of it???a pestif- best of things. If you must tako pills, don't chew them. Your heavenly coward will cor respond with your earthly perturbation, as Cam gave to Agrippa a chain of gold as heavy as once had been his chain of iroh.- For the iven to the Italian martyr, Algerius, who dated his letter ???from the delectable orchard of the Leonine prison." Above all, let us realize that therois around our earthly life a rim which it is most peril ous for us to break. All around this brief life a rim beyond which is eternity, and we had better keep out of it till God breaks the rim, thin but important, which separates this from that. To go out of present ilfs,don't rush iuto greater misfortunes. Don???t, to get rid of a swarm of summer insects, plunge Into a jun> gle of Bengal tigers. There is a sorrowlesi world, and so radiant, that the noonday is but one of its lower doorsteps, and the au rora that lights up the northern heavens, con founding astronomers as to what it can be* is only one of tho banners of its procession come out to conduct a conqueror from church mili tant to church triumphant. And you and I have ten thousand reasons for wanting to go there. But we shall not roach it either by self-immolation, or by imponitcncy. All our * /Him who sins slain by the stroke came to the time divinely selected, and from vinely spread. And then the clang of the se pulchral gat,c behind u*. will be drowned out by the clang of the opening of the solid pearl before us. 0, God, whatorer others may choose, give me the Christian's hope and the Christian???s life, and the Christian???s doath,and the Christian???s burial, aud the Christian's im mortality. BY ACCLAMATION. Nomination of Colonel W.A. Tigner, ??t Clay ton, as Senator for the 30th District. ' There was a striking contrast between the senatorial convention which met at noon Fri day in tho city court room, and tho one which assembled in tho Kimball liouso two years ago. Yesterday tho entire session lasted twenty minutes, there was nothing but harmony, and tho best of feel ing prevailed throughout. Two years ago there was a deadlock, continuing two days, numerous spirited speeches aud angry discus sions, and an adjournment with uupleasant feelings among the delegates. A smoother an.. ???

" patience, remorse, envy, grief, destitution and misanthropy are considered sufficient cause fof HUICofiafhg flora tmr Wtmar-By Paris green, by belladona, by laudanum, by leap off an abuttmont, by Othello's dagger, by ropo,*by firearms. Rover so many eases of felo do se in > many any two years as in the last two years. The crime is becoming common by tno day. A pulpit not long ago exprossed a doubt a* to whether there was really anything wrong in ending cue's life when it becomes too disagree able. And thero aro strewn through the com munity among respectable people apologists for the deed that the apostle in tno text arrest- crimo'nnd will lift against it a warning unmii- atakable. At the opening of my sermon let mo say that some of the best Christian people who havo aver lived hove committed suicide, but thoy did so fn dementia and thereforo woro irre sponsible. I would havo no more doubt about their immediate entrance upon otertial happi ness than I havo about those who die in their beds in tho delirium of a typhoid fever. While the shock of tho catastrophe is greater than in ordinary demise, I charge thoso whoso Chris tian friends have in cerebral aberration stopped off the boundaries of this life to havo no fear about their destiny. The dear Lord took them out of their dased and frenzied state in fo perfect safety. If you wont to know how Christ feels toward the insane see his treat ment of the demoniacs of Gadara and tho child lunatic, and the potency with which he hush ed tempests, whether of water or brain. Among all the grand and glorious men of 8cotIanu,the land prolific of intellectual giants no one grander has lived than Hugh Miller. Great in science and great for God. He came from t]ie best highland blood and was a ' de- bim with their comfortless talk will, on an ash-beop, scratching his scabs with a piece of broken pottery yet triumphantly say ing: ???All the days of my appointed tiino well I wait till my change como." Notwithstanding all that the Biblo says against suicide and all tho aversion it would create by tb?? ghastly and loathsome spectacle of those who hurled thomiclvcs out of life, and the fuct that Christianity has always been against it by tho arguments and tho useful lives end illustrious deaths of its disciples, tho fact is alarmingly patent that suicide is on tho increase. And every body asks why is it? I charge the whole thing upen the infidelity and agnosticism abroad. If there be no horo- after, or if that hereafter is blissftil without reference to how wo live and how we die, why not swing back tho sliding doors bctwcon this world end the next? Why not let all those who find this world uncomfortable pass right- over into Elysium? Take this fact for con sideration : In every easo of suicide that has <ycr been warded,.??r ever will bo recorded, the perpotrator was either domented, and henco not responsible, or an infidel. I chal lenge the universe and I challenge tho ages for one exception. Thero never has beon, will bo there never will bo a man who took his own life while appreciating tho fact that ho is im mortal, ana that this immortality will bo ? ;lorious or wretched according to his recop- ion of Jesus Christ as a Savior or the rejec tion of Him. You account for tho increaso of suicide by nfs, by this, by that, by tho other back to the source and sco that it is either through abdication of reason or through the handsome and dclcctnblo work of infidelity, which practically says: ???If you don???t like this world get out of it, and you will either go into annihilation whero you will have no notes to pfty and no persecution to suffer and no gout to torment, or you will pass immedi ately into a world where you will havo every thing glorious without paying for it. Infiibd. scendant of Donald Roy, memorable lor ???pioty and for the rare gilt of second sight. Ills at tainments, climbing up as be did from Quarry and stone. Mason???s wall, drew forth the amazed admiration of Bnckland and Miirchi- eon, the scientists, ond Chalmers, tho theolo gian, and held universities spell-bound as he told them what ho hod seen of God in ??? the old red sandstone. Ho did more than any man that ever lived to show that tho God of the hills is the God of the Bible; striking his tuning-fork on the rocks of Cromarty until geology and theology lifted their voices in the samo psalm of worship; bis books entitled ???Tho Footprints of the Creator" and ???The Testimony of the Bocks," proclaiming the banns of an eternal marriage between science aud revelation. He toiled on this last book day and night from love of nature and love of God until sloop was Jmpossible.and his brain gave way and no was ibund deatf with a revolver by his side, the cruel instrument that had two bullets, one for him and the other for the gunsmith, who after wards fell dead while examining it. Can any one doubt the beatification of Hugh Miller when his hot brain ceased to throb that winter night in his study at Porto Bello? Among the mlghtest of earth, among the mightest of heaven. No one ever doubted the piety of William Cowper, author of ???Oh, for a closer walk with God, ???There is a fountain filled with blood,??? ???What various))hindranccs we meet," William Cowner. who with Isaac Watts and David Ilumo writes? ???You admit that that it would be no crime in me to direct the Nilo nr Danube from its course, if I could. Whero then is tho crimo of turning a low ounces of blood out of their natural channel?" Hume lent this essay to a friend, who. after reading it, returned it with thanks, and tho next day shot himself. Voltaire, Rousseau, Gibbon, Montaigne wore advocates for suicide under certain conditions. Infidelity puts not up ono bar to hinder people rushing voluntarily William Cowper, who with Isaac Watts an* Charles Wesley wears the chief honors of the ???acred hymnology. In hypochondria William Cowrer resolved on sell-destruction, rode to the Thames river for this purpose, but found a man seated upon some goods on the bank from which the sacred poet expected to spring, and co returned to his house, and that night lay on the blade of a knife which broke, and then suspended himself with a rope which parted. No wonder when he got out of his abnormal condition he wrote that other hymn: nys ter lorn way, But while we make oil ibis merciful and righteous allowance for those Christian people who have been plunged in a state of mental incoherence, I declare that he who, ^ while in the possession of his reasoning faculties by bis own band nnteniionaU/ snaps the bind be tween body and soul, goes straight into perdi tion. Shall I prove it? Revelation xxi. 8: ???Murderers shall have their part in the lake that burnetb with fire and bnmstoue.?????? Reve lation xxii. 15: ???Without are dogs and ??'**- rerers ar.d whoremonger# and murderers." Don???t belisre in the new Testament? Perhaps, bar to hinder people rushing voluntarily out of this life info tnc next. They all tell you that you will land safely anyhow either in nowhere or a happy somewhere. So infidelity holds tho upper end of the rope of the suicide and fires off the pistol with which the man blows his brains out and mixes the strychnine for the last swallow. If infidelity could carry the dnv ond persuade the majority of people tb8t it is right, and that however men go out of this life they land well in tho next existence, the East river and Hudson would soon be so full of corpses that tbo ferryboats would bo impeded on their way to Now York, and the craclc of the suicide's pistol would be os common as the rumble of a street car. Lot coroner???s juries get brave enough to render a verdict according to the case,and as in tho irre sponsible cases they say,???While in a state of in sanity the deed was done;" in other cases,say, ???While suffering from the results ot reading infidel books or hearing infidel loeture* whinh destroyed all idea of retribution, the deceased took his own life." Let brazen infidelity stand up and get its sentence; its lip blistered with every blasphe my, and its cheek scarred with every lust,and its breath, foul with tbo corruption of tho ages, this satyr, this filthy goat, this unclean buzzard ot nations, this leper of centuries. Blond up, thou monster, part man, part pan ther, part vulture, part reptile, and part dra gon, and take the sentence for that thou art the instigator of self-murder, and thy hands are red with the carnage in which thou bast washed, and thy feet crimson with the human gore through which thou hast waded. Go down, sentenced to the pit, and sup on the sot* end groans of families whom thou hast bis e ted, and roll on bed of knives, which thou hast sharpened for others, and thy music be tbe unending ???miserere??? of those* thou hast damned. I brand infidelity and agnosticism with the crime of all those *ho, in possotsiou of their mind, committed self-slaughter dur ing the last century. My hearer#, if yon ever, because life, by reason of its trial# aud molestations, is unbear able, should be tempted to quit it at your own behest, do not condemn yourself above all otfcrrs. Christ himself was tempted to cost himself down from the roof of the temple; but cs be resisted, so resist ye. Christianity c ,mes in to medicine all our wounds, and give us victory. People who bad it worse than you bare been songful all the way. Beside that, God has arranged with the precision the chro nology of your life ss well as the chronology of nations, the time to die as well a* the time to be born, your grave as well as your cradle. Tbe Egyptians were slain in Egypt at precise ly 12 o'clock at night, and the Israelites emancipated. Why at 12 o???clock at night? Because -130 years were up at that hour. God knows when to let you out of earthly bondage. By Ilia grace don???t make the wont, but tbe session than that of Friday it would be hard to imagine. At 12 o'clock the convention was called to order by Colonel John L. Doyal, of Clayton, chairman of the district executive committee, who said: ???In calling this convention to order I return my thanks for the honor conferred upon me for the past two years. It is an honor which any man might covet, and I trust I havo worthily dis charged the duties it imposed upon me. J. M. Stone, of Cobb, was chosen secretary. R. L.

Ho was unanimously elected, and on taking the chair said: Gentlemen???This is an unex pected honor which you have conferred upon me.' I thank you sincerely, and now declare the convention ready for business. The secretary announced tho following as the roll of the delegates who were present: LIST or DKLKOATKS. Clayton???W. M.

Glover, of Cobb, nominated W. A. Tigucr, of Clayton. Air. Barry, of Fulton, saidi ???It is with plcasuro that I ??? riso to second the nomination. The people of Clayton county have with unprecedented unanimity presented tho namo of ono whom they delight to honor and who is worthy of to be honored by this entiro district. He has ability and efiaracter. He has a heart that lovos peace. He is a defender of the truth and would speak no word to tho injury of hia fellow man.

The motion prevailed, aud tbo chair appointed R. L. Barry, J. W. Btone of Cobo, and A. C. Blalock of Cluyton.
