TALMAGE'S SERMON.
Among the Mightiest of the Nation???s Perils in tbo
l net Thai Politic/il Bribery Hu Ceased to be
Called a Vice. American Institutions
Threatened Vfith Destruction.
Bbookltn, October 12.???Dr. Talmsge began
a very interesting series of political sermons
to-day. The Brooklyn tabernacle was crowd
ed. Indeed, if the church were twice aa large
now it would no more than Accomodate the
people that come. The hymn sung to-day
was,
"My country ???Ms of thee
Sweet laml ot liberty |???
The subject of tho sermon was: ???Things
that Threaten the Dectruciion of Amerioan
Institutions." The text Was Revolutions xviii
10 to 18; ???Alas, alas, .that great city Babylonj
that mighty city l for in one hour is thy judg
ment come. And tho merchants of the earth
???hall weep and mourn over her; for no man
buyeth their merchandise flay more. Tho
merchandise of gold,andl silver, and precious
ftones, and of pearls nod fine linen, and pur
ple, and wlk, and scarlet, and all thyino
wood, and all manner .vessel?? of ivory, and
all manner vessels of most precious wood,
and of brass, andiroti; and marble, and
cinnamon, and odors,'/an# ointments, and
freiikineense, and wjne,und oil r and fineilour,
and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses,
and chariots, and slaves; and souls of men."
On cis-Atiantic shores, said Dr??? Tulma^e, is
a group of Americans now loading oft their
way to find the tomb dfft dead empire holding
n its arms a dead city, mother and child oi
the same name???Babylon, fhoy will find
here and thero a mound inviting their spade

low bricks, most of them stamped with tho

Is this all that is left of Babylon? Once fivo

larger than New York. With walls 373 feet

An.org the mightiest of the nstioial perils
is .the foci that political bribery has cease I to
f*- called a vice, and is by many looked HfK>o
ts a'commci.dsble virtoe. The five hundred

1 arty if they can raise it???whs' for? It is le
gitimate and right to spend money for polfti-
< at tracts, and.lor hall rent, ami Aw ewuipnirn
??? rr.tr ry, but is there here any homunculus who
???tij.t i+*t that these great sums of money are
jdl to be thus expended. Everybody knows
that most of it is to buy votes. Hundreds of
people will have put before them so much for
the republican voto'and so much for tho dem
ocratic vote, and the superior financial in
ducement will decide tho action. Next Tues
day Ohio, the pivotal state, will speak. I can
tell you which party will carry the day. The
party that spends the most money. My sym
pathies are (or Ohio (rom Lake Erie.to Ken
tucky???s borders, its 39,064 square miles swept
by the scourge of political bribery. The ped
dlers with gold (rom Wall street, aud gold
from State street, and gold from Third street,
ore now in the hotels or Cincinnati and Cleve
land and Columbus, and in all the political
headquarters of the state, dealing out tho in
famous inducements. Iu addition to the brib
ery o( voters in that state the success of this
election will be used as a bribo to tho whole
nation, inducing the meu who ait on the
fence to get off and go with the triumphant
party for some one of the hundred thousand
offices at disposal.. The election in Ohio, no
matter which way it will go, will not be any
indication of whom that state wants for presi
dent, but only an indication as to which party
has the fullest exchequer.
At the close of the last presidential election,
at a banquet in New York, celebrative of the
jrcnult, and in tho presenoe of one ex-presi
dent, and in the presence of one who after
ward became president, it was stated without
rebuke that Indiana had been carried by
bribery, although that word was not used, but
a more proverbial word, namely, soap.
In other days bribery existed,, but???was a sin
that held down its head in shame. Utmost
secrcsy was enjoined, when, many years ago,
the legislature and other oflleiala of Wiscon
sin w ere bought up by a railroad company,
The governor received $50,000 for his signa
ture. His privato secretary received $5,000.
Thirteen members of the senate received
$176,000 among them in bonds. Sixty mem
bers of tho otber houso received from fivo to
tenYbousand dollars each. ' The lieutenant-
g overnor received $10,000, tho clerks of the
ouse from five to ten thousand dollars each.
The bank comptroller received $10,000. Two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars were dis
tributed among the lobbyists. So you ace
that the railroad company was very liberal.
But nothing except the severest scrutiny and
an exploration of a legislative committee ex-
j used it. Bribery is to-day fearless of arrest
arrogant and defiant, and will decide the elec
tion on the first Tuesday of next November.
It this diabolism go on, Bartholdi???s statue of
liberty on Bedloc???s island, with uplifted torch
to light nations into our harbor, had better bo
changed so that the torch shall bo dropped, as
a symbol of national incendiarism. If there
be no power to stop this purchase and snlo of
suflrsges, our government will perish; not by
foreign hand, but by its own perfidy, aud you
had better get ready the monument for an
other Read nation aud let my text chisel on it
the epitaph: "Alas, alas, that great city Baby
lon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy
judgment conic. ???
Another thing threatening tho destruction
of American institutions is the soliditVing of
the sections against each other???a solid north
against a solid south. Unless this is broken
up, alter a while wc shall h&vo a solid west
against a solid east, solid middlo states against
solid northern states. It is nineteen years
since the war ended, and yetovery presiden
tial election somehow revives the old antag
onism. When Garfield died and all the states
of ihe union gathered around his casket in
sympathy and in tears, I did hone that sec
tionalism was done. But no. what is ncod*
ed is to split every state in tho union into two
or three great parties. Tho nution, if it is to
live, must become one great body; tho na
tional capital the heart, sending through ell
the arteries^ of communication warmth and
life to the utmost extremities. You might&s
well havo a solid head against a solid foot,
solid eyes against solid ears, and a solid noso
against a solid cheek. Yea, wo are one fam
ily, and you might as well havo brothers
solid against their sisters, and tho bread tray
solid against the cradle, and this dining room
solid against the parlor. That which is the
Interest oi Georgia is the interest of Massa
chusetts, and that which is best for Now York
is best for South Carolina. Tho Ohio river
does not change its politics after it goes below
LouinvilIc,yct every four years on Mason and
Dixon???s Ifno both sections hang out theft,po
litical' washing. Have you any idea that
thero great sectional antagonisms can exist
itli< ut permanent compound Iracturo?
Another thing threatening the destruction
! cur American institutions is tho low state of
ublic morals. What killed Babylon? What
Died Phoenicia? What killed Rome? What
killed ail the nationalities now lying stark
oud ghastly in the graveyards of the past?
Fraud and drunkenness and lechery, which
slew otber nations, will slay ours unless God
pi events it.. To provo that thero is a low state
f inorals, I ca???l you to consider the cbarac-
??? r of candidates often put up for office. We
have now in nomination for president aud
vice-president eight men aud two women.
Both the women are good. But among the
eight men for theso two offices there are three
candidates at least no more fit for either of
these important offices than a wolf is (It to be
professor ol pastorul theology over a (lock of
sleep, or a blind mule to lecture a class of
c ogles on the science of optics, or the vulture
to chaperon the dove. The meution of aoine
of tbeir names demands in the room carbolic
acid and tumigation. Yet Christian men will
vote for them because they carry the party
standards. American politics ho?? sunk uutil
there is no lower depth it can fathom. But
this corresponds with what is seen iu all di
rections. The peculation aud knavery
burled to the surface by thu explosion of bauks
and business firms are only specimens of
gnat Cotopaxis and Strom boll* of wickedness
that boil aud burn beneath, but havo not re-
gnrgitittsd to tho surfucu. The hcavun-
dtsccnded democratic party eclipsed overy
thing by tho Tweed rascality, until tho
beaven-urreeuded republican parly o itwitted
pundtuiouium by the star mute iuiamy.
Then thero are thousands of- men who scot!
at the marriage relation and say there is no
such thing as chastity, aud walking iu polite
urlors arc meu not good enough for scaven
gers iu Sodom. When I visited San Ffao-
cisco, that beautiful city, the queen of the Pa
cific, the mayor of the city aud the health of
ficer called on mo and wanted to show me the
(.'him ec quarters, so that, getting back t> tho
vutilise quarters, su uiui, guttiug imu* w mu
Atlantic coast, I might tell what awlul people
the Chinese were. But the last night I waa
in that beautiful city, standing before many
thousands in their great opera bouse, I saiat
???W ill you let me frankly exprasa my full
opinion?" And thay cried: "Yes, 7ft"
Tfit-n i said: "The great curse of 8au Fran
cisco is not the Chinese quarters, but the great
curse of your city is the millionaire libertines."
And some ot them sat betoro me at that time,
Felix and DruiciUa. . So it is in all our cities.
I nevtr swear, but when I see going about
tin whipped of justice men who
laugh over tbeir shame and call
their damnable deeds gallantly and peccadil
lo, I am tempted to hurl rea-hot anathema
and to conclude that if, according to some peo-
Vs theology, thero is no hell there ought
.. be. There is to-day an out and out lieen^
tiousnecs iu our American cities to invoke the
wrath of heaven that on the 24th of August,
'??9, covered Herculaneum and Pompeii co
diep in ashes that the subsequent 1806 yean
have not completed tbeir exhumation.

not time to speak by tongue, by pen, by bal

man???s baiter, by prayer, by sinactic detona
tion? I have heard that tno son of Crmsua
was dumb and bad never spoken a word, but
when bis father .was about to be put to death
he broke the shackles of silence and cried out:
???Kill not my father. King .Croesus." So at
the spectacle of the chcatery and tho wanton-
r.css and tho manifold crime that ore attempt
ing the parricide, yea the matricide, of our
institutions, it is time even for tho lips that ???
have been for a long year dumb on theso sub
jects to utter in cancrous tones fiery protest.
There are other evils threatening the life of
the nation arid I will in other Sabbath morn-.
Jng discourses, if God continuo my life aud
health, discuss them as also tlio modes in
which they are to bo baulked. I am going to
put before you this whole subject s? that yon
will all know how to vote and . pray. This
nation is not going to perish. When Alexan
der beard of the wealth of the Indies, he divi
ded all of Macedon amongst his soldiers. They
asked him what he had kept for himself. He
replied: ???Hope." And that treasure I keep
bright and ghtning whatever else I surrender.
Hope thou in God and He will set book these
oceanic tides of devastation. Do you realize
that the pxizp now being.contested for is the
American Continent? Never sinco the day
when, according to John Milton, Satan was
???Hurl???d headlong, (laming from the ethcrlal sky
With hideous ruin and combustion down,???
has he been so busy as he is now in trying to
take possession of this continent. But ne shall

What a prize it is I A jewel carved in relief,
the cameo of ibis planet. The Atlantic ocean
parting us from overcrowded Europoon ono
side and the Pacific dividing us (rom supersti
tious Asia on tho other aide, and the Arctio
ocean a gymnasium in which our navigators
and explorers develop their courage. A con
tinent ten thousand five hundred miles long.
An area of seventeen million square miles,
lour times larger than all of Europo, aud all
but about ono-soventh capable of rieh cultiva
tion. About one hundred million inhabitants.
All flora and fauna. All fruitage and all
grains. All precious woods and all metals.

good people ho does set up a throno in this

Christ or Satan ? The commerce of your riv
ers, the shores of our inland seas, tho silver of
cur Nevados, the gold of our Coibrados, tho
wheat ofjour prairies,the rico of our Savannahs,
the telescopes of our observatories, tho brain
of our universities, the two ocean beaches, tho

the other/rom Bchrmg'a straits to Cape jlorn,
the temporal, spiritual and everlasting desti

save by Him with whom a thousand years aro
is one day.
Who shall have this prize of happiness?
fou and 1 will help answer tho question by
comcleutiotis vote, by earnest prayer, by ui>-
i ight life, by inducting our families into tno
duties of good citizenship, by support of ben
eficent institutions, by maintenaco of churches,
by putting oil our energies of mind and soul
on the right side of over religious, social and
national movement. A lituc further on, and
it will mako no difference to us personally
what becomes of this country so far as oui
earthly comfort is concerned. The largest ot
us will require no??? more of this land than (ho
space of seven feet by three, and that will be
room enough and to spare* But wo cannot
now b6 indifferent to the happiness and wel
fare of the generations that shall come after,
and when we rise at tho trumpet call of the
last day it will bo well if we find that our
sepulchre, like that which Joseph of
Arimathea provided for Christ, in tho midst of
a garden. By that time this continent from
aca to sea, and from Arctic to Antarctic will
be all paradise or all Dry Tortugas. Eternal

ferer from a troublesomo kidney (complaint,
for the relief of which 1 havo spent over $250
without benefit; the most notod so-called
remedies proving failures. Tho use of one
???Ingle bottle of B. B. B. has been marvelous,
giving more relief than all other treatment
combined. It Is a quick cure, while othors, If
they cure at all, are in tlie distant future.

Saved His Life.
A PHYSICIAN'S TESTIMONY.
I was culled to see Mr. John Pearson, who
w&i confined to bis bed with what appeared
to be consumption of tbo worst form. As
nil of his f.i-.iily hi.4 -li< -I t n in;t drer.d ??lls-
caac (except hls'hall brother), bis death
wns regarded as certain and soon. After
exhausting all the remedies, I finally as a
last resort, sent for a bottle of Brewer???s
Lung Restorer and ft acted like magic. Ifo
continued the use of it for some tltco and
has been fully restored to healths So fax
as I could discover, he had consumption,
and Brewer???s Lung Restorer saved his llfo.

ANOTHER RESCUE FROM DEATH.
In 1881, while sewing on a machine, my
wife was taken with a severe pain in her
side, which was soon followed by^hemor-
ragea from her lungs, severe cough and lo
ver, and could neither ent or sleep, anti Iu
a few weeks was reduced to a mere skele
ton. nor*stomach refused to retain any
food, and the physician thought one of hor
lungs was entirely gone. Ata final consul
tation of two physicians her mum was pro
nounced hopeless. I tried Brower???s Luug
Restorer by advice of one of the physi
cians, aud she began to improve aftos tho
third dose. She continued the medicine,
and is now iu excellent health, and is
better than she bas'bcsn in leveraL years..
I believe Brower???s Lnug Restorer saved her
life.
