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. . were' like a man who has a sack kh h be puts money into, not knowing that I k has been torn or worm-eaten, or is m way incapacitated to hold valuables. \ u he i>uts the coin in one end of the sack it out of the other. They earned wages S thev lost them, or, as thepronhet puts it: HL that earneth wages earneth wages to t it m a bag with holes.” What has Ccnieof the billions and billions if dol £rs paid as wages to the wording class* 5 this country! Many of the moneys have Tone for the nurchas j of wardrobes, ft r the fnnhase of Lomestoais, for the support of F-inulies. for the edu ation of childn n. for th* meeting of the necessities of life, for pro viding comfort for time of old age, and 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 nave M ent their last dollar. The following ‘Tccnistan e <a i e under my own observa- J? D: A voung man was gett ng .$6 k) or S7O ) J [ary.

To get his life in sured so that if he died hit wifs would not be a beggar? No, oh no. He had this other 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.

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 | the influences which have already rea' he l your home and are nutting out some of its lights, a premonition of dirknes for p f-r. <h. that to-day you might hear intemperance with drunkards’bones on the too of th** liriorc; :dm .imi jg the d -nd mar hos immor i : • 1-.
