TALMAGE???S SERMON
DELIVERED IN THE BROOKLYN
TABERNACLE.
The Ghastliest Etil of America To-day is
Dinnkentiess???The Immediate L'anso
of It, the Bnni Trafllc???The Two
Great Political Parties.
. Beookltk, October 10.???[Speciftl.]???At the
Brooklyn tabernacle this morning Dr. Talmftge
preached on the subject ???The Arch-Fiend of
Nations.??? Before the sermon he read aud ex
pefanded a chapter in regard to the destroying
angel passing over Egypt, leaving one dead in
every house. The opening hymn was:
- ???Before Jehovah's awful throne
Ye nations bow with sacred joy.
Know l hat the Lord is God atone
He can create and Ho destroy.???
The text was Job i. 15: ???Awake, ye drunk
arda and weep and houl ye drinkers of wine!???
Nosh, the shipbuilder, said Dr. Talmago,
did the best and ???worst thing for the world,
Ho built on ark against a delugo of water, but
introduced a deluge against which the world
has ever since been trying to build au ark???a
deluge of drunkenness. We hear his staggering
???tops in the opening chapters of Genesis.
Bhem and Japeth tried to cover him up, but
there he is, drunk on wiuc at a time in the
history of the world when to say the least there
was no lack- of water. Inebriation, once intro
duced into Biblo times, never retroated. Abi
gail, the fair and heroic wife, goes homo aftor
saving the flocks ol her husband Nabal from
confiecation by invaders and finds him too
drunk that night to tcH him about his narrow
escape. Uriah came to see DavKI and David
got him drunk and so paved tho way for the
despoliation of a household. Even the church
hhhop in Paul's time needed charging to bo
sober and not given to much- driuk, and so fa
miliar was the swaying and falling movement
???f the inebriate that Isaiah, describing tho
final dissolution of worlds says the earth shall
reel toand fro like a drunkard. Ever since
apples and grapes and wheat grew tho world
has been tempted to excessive stimulant.
But the intoxicant of the ancients was an
innocent beverage, a harmless soda water, a
feeble orange-ode, a quiet syrup comparod to
the liquids employed lor modern inebriation
into which a madness, a fury, a fire, a gloom,
a suicide, a retribution are mixed and molted.
Fermentation wss always known, but it was
not until about one thousand years after Christ
that distillation was invented. And whiio wo
have to confess to many of tho ancient arts as
lost, the Christian era surpasses all its prede
cessors in tho bad eminence of whisky, gin,
brandy und rum. The modern drunk is a
hundred fold mightcr than tho ancient drunk.
Noah???s inebriation led him to imbecile be
havior but modern alcoholism sets its vjetira
to struggling.with mcungeric3 of hissing rep
tiles and jungles of growling tigers und perdi
tions of blaspheming ddnous.
An arch-fiend has landed in our world and
he hat built an invisible caldron of tempta
tion. Ho fins made it staunch and strong, and
lie has filled it for all nations and all ages.
First ho squeezed into it tho juice of tho tor-
hidden fruit of Paradise. Then he nuts into it
a distillation from all tho harvost fields and
orchards of tho hemispheres, thon adds to it
larger quantities of capsicum, copperas, mo
lasses, logwood, deadly nightshade, assault
and battery, vitriol, tobacco, sulphric acid,
opium, murder, pokeberry, cochineal, indigo,
red carrots, potash, poverty and death and
hops. But still it is a dry mixture, and so to
moisten and linquefy it ho pours into it the
teers of many centuries of orphanage and
widowhood and tho blood of twenty thousand
oacasAinations. Then he takes his great shovol
which he brought along with him from the
nether world, the shovel once used for filling
the furnaces beneath. And now ho begins to
stir tho great caldron, and as ho stirs it the
awlul liquefaction begins to hcavo and sputter
and boil and hiss aud smoke, and men and
women gather around this mammoth caldron
with cups and pitchers and kegs and demi
johns and bottles and allnations got thcirshiro.
And tho Arch-Fiend laughs as he says:
???Ho, ha I What n champion fiend am 11 Who
does inore for coffins aud graveyards and ship
wrecks and prisons and Insane asylum) and
for populating the nether world than I do?
When this caldron is empty I will fill it again
and stir it again till tho smoko of it joins tho
other smoke, ???the smoko of tho torment that
oscendcth forover and over.' Ha, hat I drove
fifty ships on the banks of tho Newfoundland
and the Goodwins. I defeated the northern
armies at Fredericksburg. I slow live times
as many senators os will next winter assomblo
at tho American capital and fivo tiraos as
many lords as will this season gather in tho
llouso ofPccrs. My festalnup Is a bleocksJ
human skull. and all the upholstery of my
palace is such a rich crimson because it was
dipped in human gore. Tho mosaic of my
floor arc tbo bones of children whoso liio
drunken parents dashed out. My favorite
music, sweeter than To Deum or triumphal
morch is tbo cry of daughters turned out at
midnight on tho sttcets because father has got
home from tho carousal, and the seven hun
dred voiced shriek of a sunken steamor because
the captain was not himself when he put tbo
ship on the wrong course. 1I??, ha I Let ino
thrust the shovel again into the caldron and
stir it again and make it amoko agrinj
Champion fiend ain I! I have kindled more
fires, wrung out more ogonies, stretched out
more midnight shadows, lifted moro gol*
gothas, rolled more juggernauts and damued
more soul* than any other of tho brotherhood
diabolic.???
Tho ghastliest evil of America to-day is
drunkenness; the immediate cause of it, tho
rum traffic. The two great political parties
stand before it dumb. Tho democratic party
declares it unconstitutional and un-American
to prohibit the evil, and tho republican party
is too cowardly to touch West they foie tho
German vote. If I never presch again, I will
declare the whole counsel of God on this sub-
^Tbe first remark I have to make is that tho
evil is not subsiding, not on the standstill but
an the forward march. Beginning close by I
remarked that I have seen more drunken peo
ple In Brooklyn and New York within six
weeks thab I have seen in any year of my life
time. There is in tbia country more liquor
drank and that of a worse kind than since the
first distillery began its devastation, where
there was one groggery there are five grog-
gcries. Where there was one ruined home,
thert_arettn demolished. Where, according
to government figures there were 23,000,090
gallons of beer sold in 1644), there were 551,-
100,000 gallons sold in 18*3, and the five mil
lion gallons of wine have bee* me twenty-five
millions.
E Moreover,not r ce'that the evil is as tbronghly
organized as was every any army, with com-
moiider-fn-ehief and staff officers and infantry
and cavalry and batteries and advanced
guards and standards. And every man who
here of er runs for office will be compelled to
commit himself either as the friend or foe of
the liquor traffic.
I h- Id fn my hand a circular of a brewers as-
???ociat on which has been sent or will be sent
to every candidate for office. Ail the present
mminees for the presidency and vice preri-
dency have already received it. Its first reso
lution reads as follows:
???Resolved that, as members of a craft which
In all enlighted countries is considered a need-
fill and beneficial branch of industry and one
which contributes to the force and vigor of
mankind by producing a cheering ant
nourishing drink food,we recognize the digni
ty and usefulness of our calling and sre de
sirous of confirming it still more in the good
esteem of the intelligent, the wise and tho hu-
In this circular the candidate fir office is
called npon to fill a blank declaring himself
friendly to the liquor traffic. 1 f he do not fill
it a right and sign it, he is he is doomed so fir
is the brewers association can doom him, and
if he do not return the circular tho silence is
taken for a negative.
Tho evil of the time advances and the fifteen
million church members in America will have
to tnke sides in this conflict. It i) going to be
an out and out battle between rum and so
briety, between heaven and holi, between God
and the devil. Better take sides beforo wo
have any further natioual decadence. Better
take sides before your own sous are sacrificed
or your daughter???s new home goes down under
the alcoholism of an embruted husband. Bet
ter toke bides while your voice and your vole
and your pen may render au effectual service.
The way tho fifeeen million male aud female
members of the American church conclude to
throw their influence will dbeido our national
defctiny.
But reformers in both political parties say:
???In national elections we only throw our vote
away if wc by that vote express our particular
sentiments on thet subject of inebriation.???
My reply is that no man ever throws his vote
away if ho vote aright, for every conscientious
vote is not only au expression of opinion" but
a prayer to God, and tho Lord makes record of
it and will answer it in time to come. Massing
Hie separate snowflakes of individual suffrage
into an avalanche enough. to crush all the
allied powers of darkness. Besides thatyoyr
vote is for 1888 or 1802 and will not aff&fc No
vember, 1884, for this year the election wijl
be swept by n majority such as lias not'teeu
seen since tho year when American politics sac
rificed on its cruel altar mypersonal frieud aud
grandest of American citizens, Horace Greeley.
In speaking as I said I would in this brief
coorse of Sabbath morning serpions about tile
wiings that threaten the destruction of Ameri
can institutions, could I compass tho subject
without speaking of drunkenness? Is it a stato
evil or a national evil. Does it belong to the
cast or to the west, to tho north or to the
south? Alas, met Thoro is not a river of
America in which its tears do not flow and
its suicides havo not plunged. What ruined
thatsoutheru plantation, once its every field
a fortune, tho proprietor and his family a few
years ago the most all!uent guests of summer
watering places? What sent into decay that
New England farm, the roseate cheeks .that
bloomed at tho foot of the green mountain)
twined into tho pallor of a drudgo? What
hath smitten every street of every town aud
city of this continent with moral pestilence?
What will on tho first Tuesday in November
in every state in the uuiou send thousands of
men to the ballot box maudlin and incompetent
and filthy and blasphemous? Strong drink.
To provo that the evil is national, I call up
Maine of the north, Iowa of the west an l
Georgia of the south. ???Yes,??? says Maine, ???it
is so much of an evil wc have as a state ana
thematised it.??? ???Yes,??? says Iowa, ???wo have
by constitutional amendment forbidden it.'
???Yes,??? says Georgia, ???wo have in ninety cotta
tics of our state made the sale of it a criminal
ity.???
How many in all parts of the land are wait-
ir g to see if something is going to be douo for
their relief? First of all tens of thousands of
drunkards who cannot walk ten minutes iu
any direction in our cities without having tho
temptation glaring beforo thoir eyes or ap
pealing to their nostrils And they fighting
against it with enfeebled will und diseased
appetite, first conquering and thou surrender
ing, conquering again, and surrendering
again, crying: ???How long O Lord, how long
beforo these infernal solicitations shall be re
moved???? Mothers are waiting to see if some
thing can bo done; their boys once with hon
est breath, that breath now always disguised,
their eyes once clear, now filthy or bloodshot,
the good hour* thoy kept exchanged for a rat
tling of the night key long after tho city
watchman has gone by to see that ovorything
is safely locked up. And tho high expectation
that the son would do something ns artisan or
merchant or professional man and would be
on honor to tho family namo long after the
mother???s wrinkled hands had been foldod
from her last toil???this expectation exchanged
for a startled look at night when tho door-belt
rugs lest something has happened, and tho
wish that the scarlet fever of twouty years
ago had been fatal, for then he wodid have
gone safoly to tho Savior's arms. But pojr
old soul, she is left to see the truth of what
Solomon said: ???A foolish son is the heaviness
of his mother. 1
???What a funeral it will make when that
boy is carried homo dead I Sbo will say: ???is
this the boy 1 used to fondle and sing to all
??? ;ht long when ho was sick? Is this the boy
_ eld to the altar of baptism? Is this tho boy
for whom I toiled till the blood carno out of
the tips of my fingers that ho might havo a
good starting aud a home? Lord, why host
thou kept me alive to see this? Surely those
swollen hands ure not tho hands that used to
wander over my face whiio I rocked him to
sleep: surely that bloated brow is not tho ono
that I so rapturously kissed. Poor boy! llow-
tired he looks I I wonder who struck him
there on the temples. I wonder if ho uttered
a dying prayer. Wake up, my son! Can???t you
bear me? No! no! Dead I dead I dead!??? ???O
Absalom, my son, my son, would to God I had
died for theet O Abaaloui, my son, my son!???
I am not enough of a mathematician to es
timutc, is anyjiody hero quick enough
with figures to tell how many such
mothers uro waiting for something to bo dono
for their relief? How many wives are waiting
for domestic rescue? Ho promised something
better than this when after long acquaintance
and careful scrutiny of character tho hand
and heart bad boon offered and accepted.
hat a hell on earth it is for a woman who
has a drunken husband I How lovely art
thou, O death, and how soft and warm thy
skeleton hand if than wouldst only coma for
her! Tho sepulchre on a winter???s midnight is a
king???s drawing-room compared with what now
she fuflora. The blow on her head does not
hurt to much as the blow on licr heart. Tho
ruma-fiend opened tho door of that onco beau
tiful home ????id said: ???I curse this dwelling
with unrcltnting curse. I curse that husband
into a maniiic. I curse that wife into a pau
per. 1 curse those sons into vagabond??. 1
curse those daughters into profligacy. Cursed
be Ireud-truy andcradlo and chair and couch
and family Bible with Us records of marriage
and Lirtb. Curse upon curse, curse upoa
curie!??? How many wi ves aro waiting to aeo
if something cun not ho dono to shake tho
frosts of this second death oil tho orange blos
soms?
Yea, God is waiting, tho God who worked
through human instrumentalities, and who
gives every notion an opportunity, and if it is
not improved, Jfe wipea it out of existence and
jets another nation try. God is also writing
for the church, aud if it does not do its work,
He will wipe out tbo church as he did tho
church of Ephesus, the church of Thyatira,
tho church of Bard is. The Protestant and
Roman Catholic churches to-day stand impo
tent before this great evil of intemperance.
Why ? Because men love their partisanships
*??? '* love their God. They would
more than they
rather have tho democratic or republic
ty in autbhority at Washington than have
drunkenness thrust off the doorsteps of this
nation. It seems they dare not move though
"God shows a clear path to victory over the
mightiest evil of all the ages. What is the
state of things this hour? We have an evil
that costs the cation more than a biition dol
lars a vear, to support 350,000 criminals, 30,-
or.o idiots, M0,000 paupers and hury 75,On.)
drunkard*. Protngovss hoisted that of bis 00
years of life he had spent HO In d:*priling
yc utb. The arch-fiend of the nations, Alco
hol, cr.u boast that all his year* have been
spent in that way without any exception.
Now, wbBt is being dono to confront this
evil? Take a lighted caudle and put on your
most powerful spectacle* end look through
the two great political platforms and find one
word, if you can, deploring this evil. Some
thing against Mormonism. Oh, yc% it is sxfr
to cencuncc that organized nastiness 2,00)
miles away. But not one word against drunk
enness, which if it go on will turn this whole
nation into a besstialfialt Lake City. Resolu
tions rgainst political corruptions. Ota, yes;
but nothing against drunkenness which, uu-
arrested, will rot the nation from scalp to
heel. Resolutions shout protection, against
foreign competition, but not one word about
protection ot families and churches aud na
tions against the evil which puts a scalding.
Hasting, all-consuming, damning tariff on all
individual, financial, moral, religion), notion*
s! interests. The democratic party w-*re in
rower meet of the time, for .fifty years.
What did they do at a party to acre it thi*
evil? Nothing, absolutely nothing, appall
ingly nothing. The republican party has
been in power nearly a quarter of a century.
What have they dono to arrest" this evil?
Nothing, absolutely nothing, appallingly
nothing.
I look in one moro direction. Tho church
is tho mightiest, most magnificent organiza
tion ever known. Has it moved iu solid
phalanx on this subject? No. Not long ago
at a meeting of one of tho great ecclesiastical
bodies resolutions were offered, demanding
the arrest of this evil and some ministers with
wine in their cellars aud on their tables de
feated it by threatening speeches. They did
not want to give up their own tusto. To day???
mark you, not in tho milennium but to-< lay-
tho church of God holds the balance of pow
er and could extirpate this evil if it would
march solidly to the front. Over three hun
dred thousand churches and Sunday
schools in Christendom. What might thoy
not do if they would march shoulder to shoul
der for God und sobriety?
And that day of gospel consoldation is corn
ing. Before another four years have passed
the best men of ull parties will be organised
for such a campaign os has never struck the
earth. You cftunot tellfrom small beginnings
what wi|l be tho grandest of results. The
Christian church, which aliall yet conquer all
nations was born in n cattle stall of flethlo-
hem. Jesus Christ after n hundred years his
name had been preached, had not half us
many followers iu ull tho earth as this prosout
temperauco movement, Meu and women of
America, courageously do your duty. Go
from your knees to tho ballot box. Ask God
how you shall vote and then obey, him.
f?omo of the clergy of America and somo ol
the religious newspapers havo this summer
end autumn made pitiable spectacles of them
selves by announcing themselves on this
fide, nowon that, not remembering tho fact
that there is but one issue in this campaign???
shall the grog-shops of America rule or shall
Christian sobriety?
Never iu a national election has
such variety of choice been put
fero the people ns this auutumn.
You can have almost nuy kind of virtue and
almost any kind of sin. As for myself I shall
look over the whole field and if I can???t fiud
what I want in character in any more recent
time, I will vote for Paul, the chief Apostle of
the Gentiles. But it I can find among the
nominees n man who has held high public
trust and not a farthing of other peopio???s mon
ey has stuck to his fingers, a poor man though
he might have stolen hundreds of thousands,
and who has always had respect for woman
hood, and been clean, and who is a sworn and
open and out and out antagonist of alcohol
ism, the rfrch-fiend of tho centuries, thongh I
am in a minority of ono, so help me God and
1 will vote for that man.
Young men of America, pass over into the
ranks of tcctotalisin. Let whisky good for
preserving corpses, never turn you into a
corpse. Tens of thousands of voting men
have been dragged to ruin by tho devilish
stuff. Don???t you touch it. On tho front door of
this church summer before lost occurred this
scene: A young man corning in here to relig
ious service. ilisfriond, passsing along the
street, mid: ???Joe, comn along with mo to Co
ney Island and spend Sunday.??? ???No,??? said
the young man, ???1 am going in hero to ser
vice.??? ???Oh, pshaw,??? said tho other, ???come
with me. The day is, bright and we shall
have a glorious Sunday at Coney Island. ???Joe
turned back and the twain spent tho
day at the beach, drinking and carousing. In
the evening, upon tho Brighton train, Joo in
his intoxication fell ofl' the train aud was
crushed. The train stopped. As Joo was ly
ing upon tbo grass and tncy were holding the
lantern over him he said to his friend: ???1 am
dying. J want you tell tho boys when you soo
them, to-morrow, that rum ami Sabbath-
breaking did this, and John, whiio you are
telling them, I will bo in hell aud it is your
fault.??? Is It not tiino for mo to pull out from
this great organ of God???s word with many
banks ol keys that stop trouble: ???Look not
upon tho wiuo when it is red, when it giveth
his color in fho cup, when it moveth itself
aright. At tho last it bitoth like a serpent
and stingetb like on adder. Yea, I pull ou 4
