THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA. GA. TUESDAY NOVEMBER 4 1884. ' TWELVE PAGES. 5 CORRUPTION IN OFFICE. Bhonld Ui* Moral Character of Candidate* for oraea ta Taken Into Consideration by Voters???8ina Go in ricoks and Herds and Droves??? Spurgeon???s Opinion of Dr. Telmtge. Brooklyn, N. Y., November 2.???[Special]??? Among tho throngs in the Brooklyn taber nacle are noticeable many theological students Who come from the seminaries around New York, and also a large number of clergymen of all denominations may bejseen in the audience. To get some idea <?f the wide attention this pulpit is attracting, even across the water it Heed only be noticed that Mr. Spurgeon, of England, writing to this country, says: ???Mr. Talmage???s discourses lay hold of my inmost ecul. The L#rd la with this mighty man of valor. So may he ever be till the campaign closes with victory! I am indeed glad of his voice. It cheers me intensely, lie loves the gospel and believes in something Which some preachers hardly do. There arc those about who use tho old labels but the articles are not the same. May tho Lord win armies of souls to Jesus by this man. I am astonished when God blesses me, but somehow I should not bo go much surprised if Ho blessed this man/* The opening hymn to-day was: ???Am I a soldier of the cross, A follower ol the lamb. And shall I fear to own ills cause Or blush to speak Ills name?" Before the sermon to-day Dr. Talrnago read and expounded the Ten Coimnnndraeut*. The subject of his discourse was: ???Should tho Inoral character of candidates for olllco bo taken into consideration by voters?** Dr. Tal- mage announced his text as ???Exodus, the 20th chapter and the first seventeen verses; name ly, the Ten Commandments/' Earlhquako and lightning,said he, put tlioir forces together to rock a mountain ot Arabia Pctreca ond the traveler ffl-dny finds a heap of broken porphyry and greenstone rocks, boulders against boulders, the ruins of the first law library, not written on parchment or pap yrus but on shattered slabs of granite. The corner stones of all morality, of all wiso law, of all righteous jurisprudence, of all good government, are the two tables of stone on which the Ten Commandments were written. All Homan law, nil English law, nil French law, all American law worth anything, civil low, criminal law, common law, martial law and Jaw ot nations were rocked in the era lie of the 20th chapter of Exodus. It would ba well If at this timo all tho newspapers ot tho land would at some time publish this chaptor in place of one of their editorials. 8ome of its passages liavo evidently been forgotten. Tboy ore all coually in force. You have no right to coy which is tho more important. They are the pillars upon which the temple of society rests. Strike down any one and you damage the whole structure. I notice that mon are very opt to become incarnate Sinai???s and.thun- dcr especially against the sin to which thoy nro not especially ??? tempted. They take one gun out of tho bnttery of tou guns and un- Timbcr that and load that and lire that. To-day I shall in continuance of the series of sermons on national affair*, and within two dnys of tho presidential election, try the four candidates lor the chief magistracy. This decologuo prohibits idolatry image-making find profanity and Babbuth desecration and ir reverence of parents ond murder and incon tinence and theft and lying and covetous ness. That is the slumlord by which all can didates, national,state and city, must bo tried. We must not expect perfection. If we don???t vote until we find tho immaculate nominee wo would never vote at ??U. Ourselves far from C irfect, wo must not be-censorious or rnaledie- ry or hypercritical of otliors. Tho Christly^ rule is os appropriate for November os for any month ot the year and for every fourth year for tho preceding three yeais: ???Judge not that ye be not judged/??? ??? Neither am 1 to toko thut which opposing red-hot partisonship shall soy of a man os his fruo character. From nearly oil tho groat cities of this continent I receivo daily or wook- ly papers, sent mo regularly or in coinpliraont, boI see both sides of everything. It is inter esting to seo the opposites of a man stated. Tho ono makes him at: angel the other a do- snon. Then I split tho difference and find that he is halfway between. Thero never has been a respectable or lumcst man that ran for tho presidency since tbo foundation of this government, if I am t* believe the old files of newspapers in museums. What a great mer cy thut they were not all hung befuro inaugu ration day 1 If a man should believe one-half ho saw in tho newspajicrs, his career would be abort outsido ofBloomlngdalo asylum. ???That procession last wock in Now York was 5,000/* Bays ono paper. ???It was 17,000 says another. Tho orators at the rink ot tbo academy of mu sic received a very cool reception, says ono pa per. Tho audience rose at him as one man, aays the other, and It was only after he hid lilted his band to quiet the multtitudo that tho vocifieration subsided. Oue paper twists a letter one way aud another paper twists it an other way. You must admit that at such a time it hi difficult to estimate which of the can didates comes tho nearer to kcoping the ton Commandments. I charge you to caution and mercifulness in your judgments. Bo coreful also not to make tho mistiko which many do moko in thinking that men in high positions aro to bo judged by a differ- ent standard from that which they apply, to ordinary mortals. Men in high places or with large means havo no more liberty givon thorn in the interpretation of the ten commandments than those in place iucon*picuous. Sinners on a large scale aro no more to be excused than tinners on a small scale. Do not call such il lustrious defection eccentricity, or chop off Anything of these ten commandments to suit especial caseo. The right is everlastingly right ond the wrong is everlastingly wrong. If men differ from the decalogue of my text, do not fix up the decalogue, but fix them up. Remember, also, *bat if a mon breaks ono or two of the ten commandments, he will find It easy to break them all. Sin of any kind weakens tho conscience, and the conscience weakened, the door is open for transgreuion ??f all sorts. If, for instance, a man be pro fane, he is not trua* worthy; for it he maltreats the Almighty, do you think he would, if tempted, decline maltreating his feliew? Af ter a man bat been guilty of malfeasance in office, vou cannot trust his word In anything. Ji mon that will steal will lie. and vice versa. If a man is unchaste, lie will do any crime under proper provocation. In such unchaititv .be commits theft of tho worst sort and is S ilty of covetousness of the basest style, and chargeable with falsehood because he pre tends to be decent wfitu he it not, and he frac tures the law agaiust dishonoring parents, be- coucc he disgraces their name, ft they were good. Be caretul how you charge such a sin against any man, whether candidate for offfo* or not, for in so doing you charge that man With oil vileneis, with all disgusting propen sities, with all rottenness. A libertine i?? ???* beast lower thou the vermin that crawls on a cuion.rr carcass, aud lower than the swine, for the swine have no inti lligeuce to sin against. Be careful how you charge such dishonor on any man, either in nf.???ice or out of otfice. Ba ???o carelul of it that a mathematical demon- ???tratirn would be doubtful compared to it. Moreover, if you know of any man who has thus fallen inquire diligently end prayerfully If he has not repentef. Perhaps he may have beou down on his knees before God crying for xnerev. Although a inanat thirty five be reprehensible for such sin, there is not more than nne ehsnce in a thousand IT be ever reforms, y??t the ca??e you are investigating may be that glorious one. To meet any especial case enlarge your tor- jriTCLCfS but don't shave off the seventh com- mandment. Let that stand as the everlasting defense of society. Do not change Fairbaak s icale to suit what you ore *??*ing to weigh it. Do you join in the cry that I have seen in ucme newspapers that there is no such thing as purity? Then you are fi foul-mouthed ictndaliscr of the human race. You wiyjjtf* ???elf ??leper. Make room for that leper, w hen a man utters such a sentiment ns - tint cither with tongue or pen, I know ho is a walking lozareth and know that he is a reekiug ulcer end that he is fit lor no society better than that of devils damned. Thero is such a thiug as purity and ten thousand times ten thousand are its disciples who are the upholders of family and church and nation. Yes; if a man breaks one commandment it makes it ce*y for him to break them all. Do you notice that when oue of those Wall street defrauders or one of those bank embezzlers is brought to justice it turns out in the trial that be bad loose companions and gambled and went to places where he sought not? Sins go in flocks and herds and droves. Admit one and you will be apt to admit all tho miserable segregation. Noted by tho papers that many ol the campaign orators bombarding the suffer ing candidates in their speeches think nothing of riding from place to place all Sabbath day or sit, cs they probably nro doing now, in a political headquarters calculating the election probabilities. During all the week they have been hurling the eighth commandment at Mr Blaine and the sevonth commandment at Mr. Cleveland and the ninth commandment at Mr. St. John. But what aro they doing with tho fourth commandment: ???Remember tho Sab bath day to keep it holy????* They aro break ing it. Is not tho fourth commandment as good os the seventh or eighth or uiuth? All the week denouncing candidate^ for misbe havior while sonio of these campaign orators profane the name of God, tossing it irreverent ly from their lips. Aud what aro they doing with the third commandment: ???Thou shall not take the name oi the Lord thy God in vain for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that toketh His name in vain???? Is not the third commandment as important as the other seven? Aye; this decalogue is my authority for say ing that the man who .swears or breaks the Sabbath is as reprehensible us any of tho can didates now nominated if they should be found g uilty of the offouccs charged. What right avo wo to go through tho ten commandment# ond moke our selection as to which wo shall keep and which wo shall break. Better uot experiment with the divine ammunition.Batter not handle the thunderbolt of God to seo which lias the least blase aud tho least momen tum. Better not meddle with tho guus and say this is a Dablgren mid this a three inch mortar and that an Armstrong and this a Krupp ond this a Whitworth and this is a Nordenfeldt five barrelled gun, this is a Gat ling ten-barrelled gun, this is a Martiguy tiiirty-neven-barrelkd gun, and this is a Par rott. They nro all of tho same calibre and of the fame make and they shoot from eternity to eternity. Cicero mys ho saw the Iliad written on a nutshell and I havo seen the Lord???s prayer on a five cent piece, and tho at tempt is to write the decalogue so small that it cannot bo seen ot all. I protest against tho frequent attempt to revise tlio decalogue given from Mount Sinai amid blast of trumpets and the cracking of tho porphyry rocks aud tho psroxytm of tho mountains of Arabia Pe tr eco. Stand up Mr. Blaine and Mr. Cleveland ond Mr. St. Jonn and let us mensuro you by the first seventeen verses of Exodus, tho 20th. Of course thoy, like nil tho rest ofuswillbo found imperfect by that rule. But-tho one who comes the nearest to tho inoral accuracy of the decalogue is the ono I shall vote for ami the ono you voto for if you regard God moro than your party. Herodotus tells us that Nitocrin, tho daughter of Ncbuchaduozzar was so fond of tho beautiful village ot Ardericca that sho had tho river abovo 'Baby lon changed into a winding course, curving this way and that, so that sailing on it for threo duys ono must come three times in sight ol tho exquisito village, and I do not care which way you sail if you sail all tho timo in sight of this group ofdivino commands. A little angular they may scciu to you, but sail ing thus you will never get aground and you will never shipwreck. Tho worst army on earth to fight is tho ton regiments that with sabres and bayonets of fire march down the side of Mount Sinai. They always get the victory, and go down their enemies must. What was the matter with that young man ot whom I read, dving in liis dissipation? Nothing, except that ho was worsted of tho decalogue. In nis last de lirium ho cried out, ???Now for tho dice I that is mine! No; hll, all is gone! More wine, morowino! Oh, how they rattle! Fiends, fiends, assail mol I say you cheat! Tho cards oremrrkcd! Now tho chains rattl* l O, death I O, death I??? Ladies and gcutlemen, don???t at tempt at any timo to revtso and remodel the ten commandments. And 1 charge you to use your influence iu society and at tho polls for such as come tho nearest to that God-lifted standard. At family prayers next Tuesday morning read tho 20tU chapter of Exodus. Tho moral or immoral clioioctcr of your next president will add soventy-fivo per cent or subtract sovonty-flvo per cent from tho moral welfare of this nati&n. 1 ou and I cannot afford to have a bad presi dent. The young mon of this nation cannot afford it, ond tho homes of Amorica cannot afford it. The commercial, tho agricultural, tho literary, the laboring, tho religious inter ests of our country cannot afford it. If you caunot find a candidate who in your estimate comes within reasonable distance of obeying the decalogue, stay lit home and vote uot at all. When tho election times came in Sodom, and there wore four candidates for mayor, and Lot did not believo in any of them, ho did not register at all. Politics in Babylon woro in such desperate stato that Daniel stayed homo all election day and prayed with his face to- w ords Jerusalem. But wo aro not shut up to such an exigency, I am glad to say. Tliot tho moral character of rulers affects the ruled I prove from nil history Wicked King Manasseh lowered tho moral tono of all tho kingdom of Judah ond established idola try. Good Kiug Josiah lifted tho whole na tion by his excellent example. What helps to moke the English nation higher in the present reign than in all its predecessors? Tho foot that at tbo head of it is tho best sovereign of Europe, tho attempt at scandalizing her name always a conspicuous failure. Tho po litical power of Talleyrand brooded into life the tricksters of the lost niuoty years. Tho vice-prtsidency of dishonest Aaron Burr was to baleful that nearly all the important letters in the postoffice in his term were in cypher, becuuhe the United States mails could not be trusted. March out, ye court circles ot Louis XV. and Henry VIII., followed by tho de bauched nations that you led into sin. The malaria of swamps rises from low lands to the heights, but moral malaria settles from tho heights to the plains. Tho higher you elevate an unrighteous man, the worse bis power for evil. The greatest of fabulists tells us that the pigeons were in mortal dread ol a kite, but kept hiding from it day by day. But one day tho kite said: ???Why do you live thus in fear from day to day? Make mo your king, and I will protect you from all evil.??? Toe pigeons called him to the throne. Then the Lite bad for his regular fare a pigeon a day. One cf them, while wailing for his fate, said: ???It served us right.??? But suppose you put in tho presidential chair vice of any sort, you simply nay t>> the young men of America: ???Don???t you see? The ten commandment* do not mean as much as they used to. Houesty is not the bc*t policy. Immorality pays. Huzzab for the powers of d^rksers in ascendancy.??? What we neii most is to publish a campaign document and ecuttcr it tnrough nil the states, a well printed copy of the Sin&itic decalogue. It was a ter rible waste when the old Alexandrian library was destroyed and the hooks were used as fa-l to heat 4,0t ! 0 baths for the citizens of Alex andria. That was a very expensive heat. But without any barm to the decalogue itself, it might bo made to heat 40,000 baths for the moral purification of the American people. The nation needs a tonic, a powerful tonic, a corrective, a mighty corrective pnd Mojci in the text with steady hand, notwithstanding the jarring of the mountains and the blazing of the air and the awful orchestra of the tsm- pest, poors out the ten drops, no more and no lets, which tbi* American nation needs imme diately to take for ita moral convalescence. But I am not the man to leave vou in the dis couragement that might come from the read ing of the ten commandments, because we have all offended and we hare ail done wrong and been wrong. There U another mountain in sight, and wmn Sinai thunders the other mountain answers in thunder, and if the lightning of the one writes doom, the light- tirg of tho other writes mercy. Only in one way can the guns of the decalogue be spiked, ond that is by the strikes of the cross: only one reck that con stop tho boulders of Sinai from quaking, and that is tho Rock of Ages. Higher than Sinai is Calvary. I know that cue peak of Sinai, according to the English survey expedition, is 7,0U0 feet high, and anotherpeaa 8,000 feet high, and another 0,000, and that Mount Calvary, according to modern explorers, is only a slight rising knoll outsido the wall of Jerusalem. But in moral power it overtops and overshadows all the mount sins of the hemisphere, and Ilimalayahs and Mount'Blnnes and Mount Washingtons and Sinais aro hillocks compared with it. As for tress sometimes silences fortress, Moultrie* dis mantling Sumters, so I set against Sinai the mountain of the law, tho mightier mountain of ihe cross. ???The soul lhat sincth it shall die,??? booms tho one till the earth jars under tho cannonade. ???Save them from going down to tho pit, for I havo found a ransom,??? peals forth the other, and earth and heaven and bell tremble uuder the revorberatiou. Moses, who commands tho onc, surrenders to Jesus, who commands the other. ??? Once by the law our hopes were slain, But now iu Christ they livo again.??? Aristotle says that once when Mount Etna eiuptcd ocd torrents of scoriro came upon the villages at the base, tho flames parted so that they made a laue of safety for those who went to rescue their aged parents from tho destruc tion of tho overflowing mountaiu. So this flaming, volcanic Sinai of tho text parts it* lury to let pass into eternal safety thoso whom Christ has come to rescue from tho red ruin tint bounded them on both sides. As I stand this moment half-way between tho mountain of the 20lh of Exodus ond tho mountain of tho lttth of John, my terror subsides in a super natural calm, because the uproar of tho Sina- itic peak is moderating oud subsiding and quieting until it comes to so deep a silence that 1 eon hear the other mountain speak. Yea, I can hear it whisper as it Boftlv says: ???Tho blood, tho blood, tho blood cleonseth from all sin.??? That upturned mountain of the text, writers tell us, has several wady* or water-courses, Aleyatt and Ajclah emptying into Teirnn, but they are uot navigable. You cannot put a boot of human' construction into thoso rocky streams. But tho boat of gospel rescus can sail ony where, and it comes right up amid these watercourses of Siuaitic threat and doom ond oilers to take you off ond out and from under the shadows into thesunshino and to the land of pcoce. Oh, if you could sco that boat of rescue coming you would feel ns John Gilmore, in hi* book, ???fitorm Warriors,??? says a ship???s crow felt when they were being beaten to pieces on the Kentish-Kuock sands off tho coast of England. And,they had oil givon up to die, for every minute took ftwoy some of their plunk from tho wreck. But at last thoy sow a Raniigoto lifeboat coming through tho break ers straight for them, aud they cried: ???Can it he so? Itial It is! ItisI Thank God it is!??? And a jacktar, speaking of that boat afterwards, said: ???Oh, my lads, what a boauty sLo looked 1 What a beauty she looked coin ing over tlioso seas l??? May God toko us all off flic miserable wreck of our sin into tho boau- tiful escape of tho gospel I FAST AND SLOW KATEItS. AN OLD NOTE.
