PURITIES OF OUR CITIES! f A Battle Cry for the Church of God-Put God First .The Alarmlnc- Traffic Immorality in the the Itiquor City of Churches. Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct 3.-The opening hymn at the Tabernacle this morning begins: Arm of the Lord, awake ! awake ! Put on thy strength, the nations shake. Having expounded the account of Paul's conversion as given in Acts xxii, the Rev. T. De Witt Tannage, D. D., took for his text Psalms Uviii, !: "Let God arise, let His ene mies be scattered;" from which he preached the following sermon : " A procession was formed to carry the Ark or sacred box which, though only three feet nine inches in height and depth, was the symbol of God's presence. As the leaders of the procession lifted this ornamented and brilliant box by two golden poles run through four golden rings, and started for Mount Zion, all the people chanted the battle hymn of my text: "Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered." The Cameronians of Scotland, outraged by James I, who forced upon them religious forms that were offensive, and by the ter rible persecution of Drummond, Dalziel and Turner and by the oppressive laws of Charles I and Charles II, were driven to proclaim war against tyrants and went forth to tight for religious liberty; and the mountain heather became red with carnage,- and at Bothwell bridge and Aird's moss and Drum clog the battle hymn and the battle shout of those glorious old Scotchmen was the text I have chosen : "Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered." What a whirlwind of power was; Oliver Cromwell, and how with his soldier's name, "the Ironsides," he went from victory to vic tory! Opposing armies melted as he looked atthenii lie dismissed parliament as easily as a schoolmaster at school. He pointed his finger at Berkeley castle, and it was taken. He ordered Lord Hopton, the general, to dis mount, and he dismounted. See Cromwell marching on with his army, and hear the battle cry of "the Ironsides," loud as a storm and solemn as a death knell, standards reel ing before it, and cavalry horses going back on their haunches, and armies flying at Marston moor, at Vvineepy field, at JSaseby, at Bridgewatcr and Dartmouth "Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered." So you see my text is not like a compli mentary and tasseled sword that you some times see hung up in a parlor, a sword that was never in battle, and only to be used on general training day; but more like some weapon carefully hung rp in your home, tell ing its story of Chepultepec, Cerro Gordo, and Cherubusco, and Thatcher's run, and Malvern hill, for my text hangs in the Scripture arm ory, telling of the holy wars of 3,000 years in which it had been carried, but as keen and mighty as when David first unsheathed it. It seems to me what in the church of God, and in all styles of reformatory work, we most need now is a battle cry. We raise our little standard and put on it the name of some man who only a few years ago began to live, and in a tew years will cease to live. We go into contest against the armies of iniquity depend ing too much on human agencies. We. use for a battle cry, the name of some brave Chris tian reformer, but after a while that reformer rlies, or gets old, or loses his courage, and then we take another battle cry, and this time per haps we put the name of some one who plays Arnold and sells out to the enemy. What we want tor a battle cry is the name of some leader who will never betray us, and will never surrender, and will never die. All respect have I for brave men and wo men, but if we are going to get the victory all along the line we must put God first. We must take the hint of the Gideorrites, who wiped out the Bedouin Arabs, commonly called Midianites. These Gideonites had a glorious leader in Gideon, but what was the battle cry with which they flung their ene mies into the worst defeat into which any army was ever tumbled? It was "The sword of the Lord and of Gideon." Put God first, whoever you put second. If the army of the American revolution are to free America, it must be "the sword of the Lord and of Wash ington." If the Germans want to win the day at Sedan, it must be "the sword of the Lord and Von Moltke." Waterloo was won for the English because not only the armed men at the front but the wor shipers in the cathedrals at the rear were crying, "The sword of the Lord and Wel lington." The Metnodists have gone in tri umph across nation after nation with the cry, "The sword of the Lord and of WTesley." The Presbyterians have gone from victory to victory with the cry, "The sword of the Lord and of John Knox." The Baptists have con quered millions after millions for Christ with the cry, "The sword of the Lord and of Jud- son. i ho American .Episcopalians have won their nighty way with the cry, "The sword of the Lord and of Bishop Mcllvaine." The victory is to those who put God first. But as we want a battle cry suited to all sects of re ligionists, and to all lands, I nominate as the battle cry of Christendom in the approaching Armageddon the words of my text, sounded before the ark as it was carried to Mount Zion: "Let God arise, let His enemies be scat tered." As far as our finite mind can judge, it seems about time for God to rise. Does it not seem to you that the abominations of this earth have gone far enough? Was there ever a time when sin was so defiant? Were there ever before so many fists lifted toward God, telling Him to come on if He dare? Look at the blasphemy abroad! What towering pro fanity! .'ould it be possible for any one to calculate the numbers of times that the name of Almighty God, and of Jesus Christ, are every day taken irreverently on the lips. So common has blasphemy become that the pub lic mind, and public ear, have got used to it, and a blasphemer goes up and down this countryHn his lectures defying the plain law against blasphemy, and there is not a mayor in America that has backbone enough to in terfere with him save one, and that the mayor of Toronto. Profane swearing is as much forbidden by the law as theft, or arson, or murder; yet who executes it? Profanity is worse than theft, or arson, or murder, for these crimes are attache on humanity that is an attack on God. This country i3 pre-eminent for blasphemy.. A man traveling in Russia was supposed to bo a clergyman. "Why do you take me to be a clergyman?" said the man. "Oh," 'said the Russian, "all other Americans swear." The ciime is multiplying in intensity. God very often shows what He, thinks of it,, but for the most part the fatality is hushed up. A few summers ago among the Adirondacks I met the funeral procession of a man who, two days before, had fallen under a flash of lightning while boasting, after a Sunday of work in the fields, that he had cheated God out of one day : anyhow; and the man who worked with him on the same Sabbath is still living, but a helpless invalid under the same flash. On the road from Margate to Rams gate, England, you may find a rough monu ment with the inscription: "A boy was struck dead here while in the act of swearing." Years ago ii a Pittsburg prison two men were talking about tjie Bible and Christianity, and one Of them, Thompson by name, ajr plied to Jesus Christ a 1 very low 1 and villainous "epithet, and as he was uttering It he fell. A physician was called, but no help could be given. After a day lying with distended pupils and palsied tongue, he passed- out, of this world. In a cemetery in Sullivan county, in this state, are eight head stones in a line and all alike, and these are the facts; In 1861 diphtheria raged in the village, and a physician was remarkably successf ul in caring his patients.' So confident: did he be come that he boasted that no case of diphthe ria could stand before him, and finally defied Almighty God to produce a case of diphtheria that he could not cure. His youngest child , soon after took the disease and died, and one cnua alter another until all the eight had aiea of diphtheria. The blasnhTmn. ohi. lenged Almighty God, and God accepted the challenge. . .. ,Pi ? . . But I come later down and give you a fact that is proved by scores of witnesses. This last August of 1886 a man got provoked at tue conunuea arought and the ruin of his crops, and in the presence of his neighbors he cursea uoa, saying that he would cut His Heart out if He would come down; calling Him a liar and a coward, and flashing a knife. And while he was speaking his lower jaw dropped, smoke issued from mouth and nostrils, and the heat of his body was so in tense it drove back those who would come near. Scores of people have visited the scene and saw the blasphemer in awful process of expiring. Do not think that because God has been si lent in your case, O profane swearer, that He is dead. Lj there nothing now in the peculiar feeling of your tongue, or nothing in the numbness of your brain, that indicates that God may come to avenge your . blasphemies, or is already avenging them? But these cases I have noticed, I believe, are only a few cases where there are hundreds. Families keen mem sun io avoid tae horrible conspicuity. r-nysicians suppress them through profes sional commence, it is a very. verv. verv long roll that contains the names of those who died with blasphemies oa their lips, and still the crime rolls on, up through parlors,, up wuuugu cnanaeiiers witn lights all ablaze ana inrougn tne pictured corridors of club rooms, etc., out through busv exchanges where oath meet3 oath; and down through all the haunts of sin, mingling with the rattling dice and cracking billiard balls, and the laughter of her who hath forgotten the cove nant of her God; and round the city, and round the continent, and round the earth, a seething, boiling surge flings it; hot spray in to tne race ot a long sufiering Go.l. And the ship captain damns his crew, and the mer chant damns his clerks, and the master builder aamns tus men, and the hack driver damns uis horse, and the traveler damns the stone that bruises his foot, or the mud that soils his shoes, or the defective timepiece that gets mm loo lare to tne rail tram. I arraign pro fane swearing and blasphemy two names for the same thing as teing one of the gigantic, crimes of this land, and for its extir pation it aoes seem as it it were about time tor God to arise. Then look a moment at the evil of drunken ness. Wnether you live in Brooklyn, or New x orK, or umcago, or Cincinnati, or Savan nah, or Boston, or in any of the cities of this land, count up the saloons on that street as compared with the saloons five years ago miv scd mcy m gi uwjng iar out or propor tion to the inc rease of the population. You people who are so precise and particular lest there should le some imprudence or rashness in attacking the rum traffic, will have your son some night pitched into your front door dead drunk, or your daughter will come home with her children because her husband has, by strong drink , been turned into a demon. The rum fiend has despoiled whole streets of good homes in all our cities. Fathers, brothers, sons, on the funeral pyre of strong drink! Fasten tighter the victims! Stir up the flames! Pile on the corpses ! More men, wo men and children for the sacrifice! Let us have whole generations on fire of evil habit; and at the sound of the cornet, flute, harp,' sackbut, pfaltery and dulcimer let all the peo ple fall down and worship King Alcohol or you shall bo cast into the fiery furnace under some political platform! I indict this evil as the fratricide, the patri cide, the matricide, the uxorcide, the regi cide of the century. Yet under what innocent and delusive and mirthful names alcoholism deceives the people! It is a "cordial." It is "bitters." It is an "eye-opener." It is an "appetizer." It is a "digester." It is an "in vigorator." It is a "settler." It is a "night cap." Why don't they put on the right labels "Essence of Perdition," "Conscience Stupefier," "Five Drachms of Heartache," "Tears of Orphanage," "Blood of Souls," "Scabs of Eternal Leprosy," Hfenoni of the Worm that Never Dies!" Only once in a while is there anything in the title of liquors to even hint their atrocity, as in the ease of sour mash. That I see advertised all over. It is an honest name, and any one can under stand it. Sour mash. That is, it makes a man's disposition sour, and his associations sour, and his prospects sour; and then it is good to mash his body, and mash his soul, and mash his business, and mash his family. Sour mash ! One honest name at last for an intoxicant! But through lying labels of many of the apothecaries' shops good people who are only a little undertone in health, and wanting of some invigoration, have un wittingly got on their , tongue the fangs of this cobra, that stings to death so large a ratio of the human race. Others are ruined by the common and all destructive habit of treating customers. And it" is a treat on their coming to town, and a treat while the bargaining progresses, and a treat when the purchase is made, and a treat as ho leaves town. Others to drown their troubles submerge themselves with this worse trouble. Oh, the world is battered and bruised and blasted with this growing evil. It is more and more intrenched and fortified. Theyjiave millions of dollars subscribed to marshal and advance the alcoholic forces. They nominate and elect anil govern the vast majority of the officeholders of this country. On their side they have enlisted the mightiest political power of the centuries. And behind them stand all the myrmidons of the nether world satanic and Apollyonic and diabolic. It is beyond all human effort to overthrow this Bastile of decanters or cap ture this Gibraltar of rum jugs. And while I approve of all human agencies of reform I would utterly despair if we had nothing else. But what cheers me isu that our best troops are yet to come. Our chief artillery is in re serve. Our greatest commander has not yet fully taken the field. If all hell is on their side all heaven is on our side. Now, "Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered." Then look at the impurities of these great Cities. Ever and anon: there are in the news papers explosions of social life that make the story of Sodom quite: respectable; for such things, Christ sa3's, were more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah than for the Chorazins and Bethsaidas of greater light. It is noun- usual thing in our cities to see men in high position with two or three famines, or refined ladies willing solemnly to marry the very swine c society if they be wealthy. Brooklyn, whose streets fifteen years ago were almost free from all sign of the social evil, now night by night rivaling upper Broadway in its flamboyant wicked ness. The Bible all aflame with denunciation against an impure life, but many of tha American ministry uttering not one point blank word against this iniquity lest some old lilertine throw up his church pew. Machin ery organized in all the cities of the United States and Canada by which to put yearly in the grinding mill of this iniquity thousands of the unsuspecting of the country farm houses, one procuress confessing last week in the courts that she, had supplied the infernal mar ket with 150 feouls in six months. Oh, for five hundred Pall Mall Gazettes in America to swing open the door, of this lazar-house of social corruption 1 Exposure must come be fore extirpation. , While the city van carries the scum of this sin from the prison to the police court morn ing by morning, it is full time, if we do not want high American life to become like that of the court of Louis V, to put Millionaire Lotharios and the Pompadours of your brown stone palaces into a van of popular indigna tion, and drive them oirt of respectable asso ciations.; What prospect of social purifica tion can there be as long as at summer water ing places it is usual to see a young woman of excellent rearing stand, and simper, and giggle, and roll up her eyes sideways before one of those first class satyrs of fashionable life, and on the ball room floor join him in the square dance, the maternal chaperone meanwhile beaming from : the wall 'on 1 the scene? ? Matches! are made in heaven, they say. Not such matches, for the brimstone indicates the opposite region. The evil Is overshadowing all our cities. By some these immoralities are called peccadil loes, gallantries, eccentricities, and are rele gated to the realms of jocularity," and few efforts are being made against it. God bless the "White Cross" movement, as it is called, the excellent and talented Miss Frances Wil lard, its ablest advocate on this side the sea, an organization making a mighty assault, on this evil! God forward the tracts on this subject distributed by the religious tract societies of the land ! God help' parents in the great work they are doing in trying to start their children with pure principles! God help all legislators in their attempt to inhibit this crime! But is" this all? Then it is only a question of time when the last vestige of purity and home will vanish out of sight. Human arms, human pens, human voices, human talents are not sufficient. I begin to look up. I lis ten for artillery rumbling down the sapphire boulevards of heaven. I watch to see if in the morning light there be not the flash of de scending scimeters. Oh, for God! Does it not seem time for his appearance? Is it not time for ail lands to cry out: "Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered !" I got a letter a few days ago asking me if I did not think that the earthquake in Charleston was the divine chastisement on that city for its sim. That letter I answer now by saying that if all our American cities got all the punishment they deserve for their horrible ' impurities the earth would long ago have cracked open into crevices transcontinental and taken down all ours cities; and Brooklyn and New York would have gone so far under that the tip of our church spires would be 500 feet below the surface. It is of the Lord's mercies that we have not been con sumed. Not only are the affairs of this world so a-twist, a-jangle and racked that there seems a need of the divine appear ance, but there is another reason. Have you not noticed that in the history of this planet God turns a leaf about every two thousand years. God turned a leaf and this world was fitted for human residence. About two thousand more years passed along and God turned another leaf, and it was the del uge. About two thousand more years passed on, and it was the appearance of Christ. Al most two thousand more years have passed by, and He will probably soon turn another leaf. What it shall ba I cannot say. It may be the demolition of all these monstrosities of turpitude and the establishment of righteousness in all the earth. He pan do it, and He will do it. I am as confident as if it were already ac complished. How easily He can do it my text suggests. It does not ask God to strike with His right hand, or stamp with His foot, or hurl a thunderbold of His power, but just to get up from the throne on which He sits. Only that will be necessary: "Let God arise!" It will be no exertion of omnipotence. . It will 'be no bending or bracing for a mighty lift, j It will be no sending down the sky of the white horse . cavalry of heaven or rum bling war chariots. He will only rise. Now Ho is sitting in the majesty and patience of His reign. He is from His throne watching the mustering of all the forces of blasphemy, and drunkenness, and impurity, and fraud, and Sabbath breaking, and when they have done their worst and are most securely or ganized He will bestir Himself and say: "My enemies have defied ni3 long enough, and their cup of iniquity is full. I have given them all opportunity for repentance. This dispensation of patience is ended, and the faith of the good shall be tried no longer." And now God begins to rise, and what mountains give way under His right foot, and what continents sink under His left foot, I know not; but, standing in the full height and radiance and grandeur of His nature, He looks this way and that, and iiow His enemies are scattered ! Blasphemers, white and dumb, reel down to their doom; and those who have trafficed in that which destroys the bodies and souls of men and families, will fly with cut foot on the down grade of broken decanters; and the polluters of society, that did their bad work with large fortunes and high social sphere, will overtake in their descent the de graded rabble of underground city life as they tumble over the eternal precipices; and the world shall be left clear and :lean for the friends of humanity and. the worshipers of Almighty God. The last thorn plucked off, the world will be left a blooming rose on the bosom of that Christ who came to gardenize it. This earth that stood snarling with its tigerish passion, thrusting out its raging . claws, shall lie down a lamb at the feet of the Lamb of God, who took away the sins of the world. And now the best thing I can wish for you, and the lest thing I can wish for myself, is that we may be found His warm and undis guised and enthusiastic friends in that hour when God shall rise and His enemies shall be scattered.
