DR. TAMAGE’S SERMON.
»UM THE WORST ENEMY OF
* the working classes.
r xt- “He that earn?th wages earTieth
Jjes to put it in a bag with holej.” Hag-
during the reign of Darius
fll“taspes the people did not prosper. They
inouev but they could not keep it.

\ u he i>uts the coin in one end of the sack it

S thev lost them, or, as thepronhet puts it:

riTbtlv M/ent, Christianly spynt What has
hToiiie of the other billions and billions of
th wages paid to the working classes of this
country? Many of them foolishly wasted,
wasted at gaming tables, wasted in intoxi
cants, put into a bag with a hundred holes.
Gather up the moneys that have been spent
bv the working classes of this country during
th? last thirty yea s for rum and tobacco,
«u l 1 "dl build for the workingmen, every
workingman, a house, surrounding it with a
£ arden.°clothing his sons in broadcloth and
Lis daughters in silks, standing at his front
door a*pran 'ing span of bays or sorrels,
•nd insuring his life so that his place can bo
kept up after his death. If in the city of
Brooklyn the people have expended $17,C0J,-
Wt in one year for strong drink, and one
halt of that money has been spent by the
wa <re earning classes, then one-halt the
wages of this city has gone for rum. I stand
before the Christian i hurch and before the
American people to-day to deleave that the
mo t persistent and overwhelming enemy of
the working classes is intoxicating liquor. It
is a worse enemy than monopoly,it is a wor.-e
enemy than associated capital, it is the pest
of the century, and has boycotted and is boy
cotting the body, mind and soul of American
industry. It snatches away a large percent
age of the wages of this country. It meets
the laboring man and operative on his way
to work in the morning, with baleful solici
tations, and at the noon spell and
in the eventide and on Saturday
when the wages are paid it takes much of
that which ought to go for the support of
the familv and sa irfices it to the saloon
keeper. AVe have now in these cities saloons
that have what they call free lunch, and for
srents the laboring man may have his glass
of intoxicating liquor and one or two articles
of food, aud you wonder how the saloonist
can .afford that. I will tell you how he af
fords it. The laborer does not stop with one
glass or one cup. His thirst is kindled and
bedrinks on and drinks on and becomes a
pato n of that establishment, and drinks
mere and more until he goes intj the grave,
and bis wife and children go tothepoor
hoibc. Within 300 yards of old Sands Street
Methodist Church. Brooklyn—that Gibraltar
of Christianity, that fortress of Godliness
and the truth decade after decade, that old
historical church, in which John Summer-
Held thundered on righteousness, temperance
and judgment to come—within 300
yards of old Sands Street Methodist
rhnrch, there, are to-day fifty-four drinking
saloons and an application for another. It
has been estimated that if the groggeries and
the rum shops of this country were put side
by side they would make a solid block from
New York to Chicago. The liquor traffic is
gathering up its forces and cryingout: “For
ward march! take possession of the ballot
box. take possession of the city halls, take
possession of the Legislatures,take possession
of the Congress of the United States.capture
the whole law for intoxication.” Will you
tell me what chance there is for the laboring
classes of this country while this iniquity
progresses a- it does? ’The rum traffic pours
the vitriolic,damnable stuff down the throats
of hundreds of thousands of the working
class,and while a strike injures both employer
aud employe, I this day proclaim a universal
strike against strong drink, which strike if
kept up will release the working class and be
the salvation of the nation. Any healthy
man in America, if he will lie industrious for
twenty years and abstain from strong drink,
and be saving, may be his own capitalist on
a small scale. This country spends annually
in strong drink one billion, five hundred mil
lion and fifty thousand dollars. A large part
of that money is expended by the laboring
classes. In Great Britain there are expended
annually one hundred million pounds, or five
hundred million dollars. Oh, workingmen
of America, whether you sit in this house to
day, or whether these words shall in some
other way come to you, I ask you to sit
down and add up how much you
have expended during your lifetime for
Him aud tobacco, and' then ask your
fellow workmen how much they have
expended for rum and tobacco, and add it all
up and realize that by co-operative associa
tion you might have been your own capitalist,
instead of answering the beck and whim of
of others. Anything that takes from the
working classes of America their physical
strength is a robbery. Now, a man who
stimulates has not as much energy and phys
ical endurance as a man who refuses to
stimulate. My father told me how he be
came a temperance man. He said: “I be
came a temperance man when everybody
drank, because of what 1 saw’ in the harvest
Held, w here I found that though I was phys
ically weaker than other m n because of long
sickness, I could endure more than my com
rades in tlie harvest field: I could work harder
and work longer, and Im? less fatigued at
took stimulants, I took none.”
A brick maker in England, having in his
employ many men. investigated the subject,
“ in ves ®s the result of his investigation:
The beer drinker w ho made the fewest bricks
niade 659,000. The abstainer who made the
bri ks made 746,000. The difference in
jenalt of the abstainer over the indulger,
<,000.” lhere came a time of great weari
ne® in the British Parliament and the sessions
were so long, and from week to week, that
nearly a'l the members of the Parliament
were either sick or worn out. Os the 632
jnembei s only*two went through undamaged,
they were teetotalers. In time of war,
soldiers who go forth with wa'er dr coffee in
the canteen can march longer and make
braver fight than the soldiers who carry
whisky in the canteen. Rum is a great help
jor a man to fight if he has only one con
testant and that at the street corner; but if a
nian goes forth to fight for Go 1 and his
th Ul n Wft nts no rum about him. When
, Russian army goes out a corporal passes
«iong the line and smells the breath or each
so'dier. and if there be in the breath the
suggestion of liquor the man is sent
ak to barracks. Why? He cannot
jand the battle, he cannot stand the march,
th ° ur y° nn g understand this. When
P re l- ar i n g for the regatta, for the
club, for the athletic wrestling, they
anstain from strong drink. It is most im
niy fiends who are toiling
«u hand and foot and brain understand
jjcy can do more work without rum than
*y <an do with it. The workingman who
puts down his wages and then puti down
JJgbt he-ide them his expenses and makes
u t e |ual is not wise. I know laboring
"«‘n who are in a perfect fid et until they

grand and glori u< enterprise on baud; he
wanted to get and h** did get. by this extra
labor <l5O with which to purchase his wife a
sealskin coat. Worthy of a man s highest
endeavor! The sistsr of the bride heard of
the achievement and she was not to Im»
edipsed. Shewa* earning her living wth
the nee He. So she sat un nights week nit t
week, month after month, until she came to
th” same glorious achieve i.ont an 1 she had
won 1150 with which to buv a sealskin coat.
I do not know’ what the effect was on that
street. There were many people on that
strert with small incomes and I supp* s>
this contagion spread and that people
came out crying, timuatively if not
literally, “though the heavens tall, I must
have a sealskin coat ” Now, between su h
a fool as that and pauperism there is only
on • step. I was told al oat eight vears ago.
while riding with a clergyman in lowa, that
nearly all his congregation and theneighlxjr
hood had been financially ruined by the fact
that the farmers had rut mortgages on 1 heir
farms in order that they might send their
families to th* Philadelphia Centennial Ex
hibition. “Why,” he said, “it was not con-
Fide”ed respectable here not to go to the Phil
ndelnhia C utennial Exhibition.’’ So they
all went. Ah, my friends, if by some fiat of
the capitalists, if bv some new law of the
government of the United States, twenty-five
per cent., fiftv per cent., 10J per cent,
could be added to the wages of
the working people, hundreds of thousan Is
of them would be no better off. More
money, more rum. More wages, more holes
in the bag. Scores of people who might have
been well off tj-day, are in destitution be
cause they chewed, or smoked, or drank, or
lived beyond their means, while othei*s on the
same salary went on to a competency. I
know a man now who is all the time com
plaining of his poverty and crying out
agaiust rich men, yet he keeps two
dogs, and he smokes and chews, and he
is fillet to the chin with whisky and beer.
Micawber said to David Copperfield: “Cop
perfield, my boy, one pound income, twenty
shillings an 1 sixj once outgo. Result, misery.
But Copperfield, my boy, one pound income,
nineteen shillings and sixpence outgo. Re
sult, happiness.' But oh, workingmen, you
take your dram in the morning, and
you take your dram at noon, and you
take your dram at night, and I will prom
ise you and your children poverty forever.
The vast majority of the children in the
almhouses of this country had fcr fathers
drunken or lazy or improvident mon. I do
not know how it is with other’s who try to help
the poor, but nine out of ten reople that 1
help are the wives or the chiluren of drunk
ards. Now. the times have got to change if
there is to be any relief from these influences.
We have got to live within our means, and
we have got to be prudent. And here, let me
say. that Ido not sympathize with skinflint
saving. I am pleading for Christian pru
dence. A man now* may have n > means to
save, but we are at the morning of a great
day of national prosperity, and people are
going to have means to save. There are men
who now have not a dollar who might have
been their own masters, independent of em
ployer’s, independent of capitalists, and what
Isay, you all know to lx? true. I know
there are people who think it is mean to
turn the gas down lower when they lea\ o
the parlor. I know there are people who
are very much embarrassed if the door bell
rings before the hall is lighted. I know
there are people who feel apologetic when
you find them at a plain table, plain food.
Well, it is mean if it only be for piling up a
miserly hoard; but if it be to give a better
education to your children, if it betogive
help to your wife when she is not strong, if
it be to keep your funeral day from being a
horror beyond endurance because it is the
annihilation of your home—that is grand, that
is magnificent. It depends very much upon
what you save for, whether it is mean or
grand. I know young women in this city
who are denying themselves all luxuries to
educate brothers, or to give a younger sister
musical advantages. VVhat do’ you call that ?
It is next to the angelic. Now, I want to sav
to the workingmen of America, so far as I
can reach them, and I want to say at the
same time the same things to all business
men, men of all classes and occupations,
the greatest foe of labor, the greatest
foe of literature, the greatest foe of religion,
the greatest foe of all classes of people, is
strong drink, and I want this morning in the
name of God to implore you to quit the use
of it. I warn you t > take one square look at
the suffering man who becomes the despoiler
of the wine flask or the beer mug or the
whisky bottle, and understand that a
vast multitude are running for that
goal. Some of you are running for it!
When a man comes from under this influence
he feels bemeam d. Ido not care how reck
le she talks. He may say: “I don’t care.”
He doe> care. H? cannot look you in the
eye without a rallying of his energies and
force of resolution. The Philistines have
bound him hand and foot and gouged his
eyes out and shorn his locks, and he has
already started to grind in the mill of a great
horror. Just as soon as a man, whether he
be a workingman, or, as we call him, a busi
ness man, gets under the influence of strong
drink, he will try to persuade you first of all
that he can ston at any time. He cannot. I
will prove it. He loves himself, he loves his
body, he loves his mind, he loves his soul. He
knows his habits are ruining all these, yet he
keeps right on. Why does he not stop? He
cannot stop. He loves his family; he thinks
the fined group in all the world is his
wife and children; he knows that he is,
that his son and his daughter are going out
under the baleful influence of having had an
inebriated father. Why does he not stop?
He cannot. I had a friend who for fifteen
or twenty years was going down under this
precess. He was a generous soul. He had
given thousands of dollars to Bible societies,
t: a t societies, missionary societies, and you
could not make an appeal in behalf of charity
but he liberally responded. His
ordinary mode with intimate friends
was when applied to for help to say: “Put
my name down on the subscription paper for
what you think I ought to pay, and I will
pay it.” Glcrious soul. Not niany like
But strong drink put its grappling hooks
upon him and he went on, on, down, down.
He sad: “1 <an stop any time I want to,
don’t Im? worried.” His pastor protested,
and said: “Don’t you know you are
ruining yourself, you are ruining your
family, now, you stop.” He said: “Oh.
I could ston any time if I wanted to.” After
awhile he had delirium tremens. The doctor
said to him: “Now, if you have another at
tack of this kind the pro! ability is you won't
get well.” “Why,” said he, “doctor, I can
stop at any time; it is only a question of
time. I can stop as easily as turn ng my
hand over.” He had a second attack.
His phvsician said: “Now, you must
stop. If you have another attack like
this I can't be any help to you. nor
can any doctor. You must stop.” “Oh,” he
said, “doctor, I could stop if I wanted too, if
I thought it best. I think you are mistaken,
doctor.” He is dead, my friends, d a l. What
killed him? Bum! One of the last things he
did was to try to persuade his friends he
co ild stop if he wanted to, if he thought it
was best to stop— lemonstratingthe fact that
there is a point beyond which if a man
go he cannot stop. A man said to a Christian
friend: “If I were told I could not gd any
strong drink before to-morrow* night unless I
had my fingers (hopped off, I would say:
‘Bring a hatchet and cnontheir, off.’” I hid
a dear friend in Pbiialelohia who was ( hid
ing his nephew for yielding to this tempta
tion. The ne »hew sa’d: “Why, uncle, if there
was a cannon an 1 on the top of the < ann n
st<x>.l a wine glas«,. and the thirst were
on me and I knew as I a Ivam-e 1
that cannon would l>e fired off. I
would start for that wine cup.” oh. men of
the working classes and m m of all cla ses. do
not get this grip on you. It is a > awful tiling
for a man to wake up and say; “I could have
stoppe 1 once, but I cannot step now. I might
have lived a useful life and d el a Christian
death. J ead bit not buried. lam a walking
corf so. I am only an apparition of what I
once was. I am a cace 1 immortal, and m r soul
b ats against the wires of the cage on this
side and l/eats against the wires of the cage
on the o‘her side, but cannot get out. and
there is blood on the wires and there is blood
on mv soul. Destroyed without remedy.
Aud then there is all the sorrow that cornu
i from the loss of physical health. Doctor
I Bewail—somo of tii' aged men iu this
I congregation may remember the time
when he went through the country
and ele trifled audiences. lam to! Iby those
who neai*d him that he had eight or ten d a
grants, which he dis layed liefore the people,
*h )wing the devastation of alcoholism on the
i human bto nach. There were thousands of
I ] e >ple who turnel a wav from these ul ,*erous
sket hes swearing by the help of Almighty
God they would never avrnin touch intoxi
: eating hqunr. Oh. what the inebriate suf
fers. Bam files on every nerve and travels
every muscle, ami gnaws every bone aud
burns with every flame, and stings
with every poison, aud pulls with every tor
ture. Wnat fiends stand by his midnight
pillow ? What horrors shiver through his
i soul? What grearns tear his ears? Talk of
the rack, talk of the inquisition, talk of th*
! crushing juggernaut—he ft els them all at
1 once. There he lies in one of the wards of
the hospital. The keeper conies up and says:
| “You must be btill; you’ve got to
stop this noise; you're disturbing the
whole hospital.” No sooner has the
keeper gone away than the poor soul says:
“Oh God, Oh Gtxi, keep me! Take the
devils off of me. Oh God, give me rum, give
me rum!’’ And then when the keeper comes
he asks the keeper to kill him. “Stab me.
slay me. smother me. Oh God, Oh God.”
It is no fancy sketch. That is going on ail
up and down this land. Moreover, it is the
death some of you will die.
Tr.en there are all the sorrows of a de
stroyed home. Ido not care how much a
man love* his wife and children, if this pas
sion for strong drink comes upon him. and he
cannot get it in any other wav, he will bo
willing to sell them all into eternal bondage.
1 hate that strong drink. Do not tell me :i
man can be happy when he knows that he is
breaking his wile's heart and clothing his chil
dren with rags. Ah! there are thousands of
hi Idren to day on the si reets <the cit y and on
th*» roads of taecountry, unkempt, uuc »ml>ed
and uneared for. Want written on every
[xit *h of their garments and on every wrinkle
nt* their prematurely old face. They would
have been in the house of God and a? well
cla 1 as any of you but for the fart that their
lathers were drunkards. Thev went down
and took their families with them, as they
always do. There is not an assemblage in
the Unite I States to-day in which there
are not. women who are fighting the battle
for bread alone. The man who promised
fidelity, the man who was ordained as the
head of the household is destroying himself
and destroying all tho«e dependent upon him.
Oh Rum, thou foe of God, thou despoiler of
the human race, thou recruiting officer of
hell, I hate thee.
But the neglet t takes a deeper tone when I
tell you that it despoils—this evil despoils the
soul. The Bible indicates again and again
that if our hearts be unchanged and we go
into the other world unregenerate, our evil
appetites and passions go with us and there
torment us. In this world the man could
bo: row or steal five cents to get that which
slaked his thirst for a little while, but in
i eternity, where is the rum to come from?
Dives wanted a drop of water. The inebriate
wants rum. W here shall it come
from? Who will brew it? Who will mix it?
Who will fetch it? Millions of worlds now for
the dregs which the young man slung out on
the sawdusted floor of Hie restaurant. Mil
lions of worlds now for tbe rind pitched out
from the punch bowl of the earthly banquet.
Dives wanted water. The inebriate wants
rum. If a spirit from the lost world should
come up for some work in a grogshop and
then go back, taking one drop on his infer
nal wing, and that one drop on the
fiend's wing could l>e put on the tip of the
tongue of the lost inebriate, however small
th° drop, if it only have the sr.-ack of alco
holic liquor, that one drop on the inebriate’s
tongue would make him cry: “Aha! aha!
that is rum!” It would wake up all the
echoes of the dammed, as they cry: “Give
me rum! give me rum!” Ido not think the
sorrow of the inebriate in the next world will
bo the absence of God or the absence of
light, or the absence of holiness; it will be
the absence of rum. I say it to the working
classes of America, and 1 say it to all busi
ness classes, to all the*e merchant*, to all
these men whether they toil for a living with
brain, or hand, or feet, you ought to quit
your strong drink, have nothing to do with
it. “Look not upon the wine when it is red,
wh m it moveth itself aright in the cup, for
at the last it biteth like a serpent, and it
stingeth like an adder.” Oh, I think it is about
time for another women's crusade, such as we
had seven or eight years in Ohio.when thirty
won en went at and cleared all the gropshops
out of a town of a thousand inhabitants—
thirty women surcharged with the Holy
Ghost, their only weapons prayer and s mg,
and many a grogshop was closed as they
camo up, the owners saying: “Now, don’t
come here and pray and sing, we’ll close up.”
It thirty women surcharged with the Holy
Ghost could clear out rum from a
village of a thousand inhabitant*, three
thousand consecrated women of Brooklyn
in the strength of Almighty God Landing to
gether and going forth, could in six months
clear out at least three fourths of the grog
shops. an 1 if the three thousand should band
, together, and they had n > other leader, I. a
minister of the most high God, would offer
my services, and I would come out in front
of them and would say: “Come on,
come on with your prayers and your songs
and your Christian entreaties, cone on!
Some of you will take this left
wing of th j enemy, and others of you will
take the right wing of the enemy. For
ward! the Lord of Hosts is with us, the God
of Ja’ob is our refuge. Down with the
dramshops, down with the grogshops. (Ap
plause.) Ah! my friends, rather than your
applause, let it be your prayers to Almighty
God that this beloved city, t he pride of our resi
dence, may have the awful curse of strong
drink lifted. Not waiting forthose mouths of
bell, the grogshops, to be closed, start you
on your duty.for if I said a few moments ago
that there was a point beyond which if a
man went he could not stop, I have to tell
you that the Lord God Almighty by His
grace can help any man to stop. L was over
in one of the meetings in New York where
there was a large number of reformed drunk
ards, and I had a revelation made to me
there that I never before understood.
The substanc? of the testimony of twenty or
thirty people was this: “We were the vic
tims of strong drink. Wo tried to quit. We
could not. We made failure. We b .’longed
to all sorts of so neties and we tried to gjt
over the habit, but we always failed. But
a f ter a while we found God and gave our
hearts to Him. We have been greatly
changed. Not only have our hearts
been chan red, but our bodies have
been changed. We don’t feel the thirst any
more. We don't have the temptation.”
Not only can the grace of Christ change
the heart, but it can recuperate and
change the body, and though to-day
you feel at th •» roots of your tongue the crav
ings of a mighty thirst, call on God and He
will rescue you. You cannot do it your
s*lf. He can. He can. And if you have
only began t> go astray, if’ it is a
matter of luxury to you : when the liquor
pours into the cup, whether it be a golden
chalice or a pewter mug. I want y >u, oh men,
to read in the foam on th ■ too of the (up in
white-t letters the word, “Beware!’ But
go right on as some of you are going and
in ten years you will as to your body lie down
iu a drunkard’s grave, an 1 as to your i mmor
tai soul you will lie down in a drunkard’s
hell. It is an awful thing to say, but lam
I compelled to say it. Oh. when the books of
ju Igment are opened, and ton million drunk
ards c «me up to get th *ir d wjm. I want you
i to testify that this day, in all kindness and
love and plainne-s.I warne 1 you to beware of
