THP BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUND AY
SERMON. , -
V Subject: "Obscuration."
- Text: .. The sun shall be turned into dark
ness.t Acts ii., 21 - r . ' ;
Solar eclipse is here prophesied to take
place about the time of the destruction of
- ancient Jerusalem. Josephus, the historian,
says that the prophecy was literally fulfilled,
and that about that time there were strange
appearances in the. heavens. - The sun was
not destroyed, but for a little while hidden.
' Christianity is the rising sun of our time,
and men have tried", with the uproUing -va-
.... pors of skepticism ,;end the-smoke of their
blasphemy to turn the sun 'into darkness.
: Suppose tr e archangels of malice ana horror
should be let looe & little while and be al
lowed to extinguish and destroy the sun in
' the natural heavens. They would take the
. oceans from other worlds and pour thenx-on
this luminary or the- planetary system, and
the waters go hissing down amid the ravines
and the caverns, ana there is explosion after
explosion until there are only a few peaks of
fire left in the sun,? and these, are cooling
down and going ou t until the vast continents
of flame are reduced to a small "acreage of
fire, and that whitens and -oo!s off until
. there are only a few coals let fc, and these are
, whitening and going out until there is not a
spark left in all the mountains of ashes and
the valleys of ashes and the chasms of ashes.
An extinguished sun. A dead sun. A-buried
sun.-; Let all worlds wail at , the stupendous J
' CDseqmes. . ... -
Of course this withdrawal of the solar heat
and light throws our earth, into a universal
chill, and the tropics become" the temperate
and the temperate , becomes the Arctic, and"
there are frozen rivers add frozen lakes and
frozen oceans. From Arctic and Antarctic
regions, the inhabitants gather in toward the
center and find the equator as the poles. The
slain forests are piled'np into a great bonfire,
and around them gather the shivering vil
lages and cities. The wealth of the coal mines
is hastily poured into the furnaces and
stirred into rage of combustion, but soon too
- bonfires begin to; lower and the furnaces be
r gin to go out and the nations begin to die.
Cotopaxi, Vesuvius, Etna, Stromboli, Cali-
forman geysers cease to Asmoke, and the ice
of hail storms remains 'unmel ted in their
v craters. All the flowers have breathed their
last breath. Shins with sailors frozen
at-the mast and helmsmen frozen at the
wheel, and passengers-frozen in the cabin;
all nations dying, first at the north and then
at the south. Chi defrosted and dead, in the
cradle. Octogenarian frostad and dead at
; the hearth.- Workmen with frozenhand on
- the hammer and frozen foot on the shuttle.
Winter from sea to sea. All congealing win
ter. Perpetual winter. Ulohe of frigidity.
. Hemisphere shackiel to ; Lem sphere by
chains of ice. Universal Nova Zembla.
- The earth an ice floe grinding against other
: ice floes. The archangels of malice and nor
ror have dene their work, and now they may
' take their thrones of glacier and look down
upon the ruin they have wrought -.
What the destruction of the sun in the
natural heavens would, be to- our physi
cal earth, the destruction of Christianity
would be to the moral world. The sun
. turned into darkness " Infidelity in our time
is considered a gre&t joke.i There are people
. who rejoice to hear Christianity caricatured,"
and to hear Christ assailed with quibble and
quirk and misrepresentation and badinage
and harlequinade. - ;
I propose this morninz to take infidelity
and atheism out of the realm of jocularity
into one of tragedy, and show yon what they
propose, and what, if they are successf uL-
they will accomplish. There are those in all
. our commnnities who would like to see the
Christian religion overthrown, and who say
- the world would be better without it. I want
to show yon what is the end of this . road,
and what is the terminus of this crusade, .
; and what this world will be when atheism
and infidelity have triumphed over it, if they
can. I say, if they can..- I reiterate it, if
they can. r ''' f . "
In the first place, it will 'be' the complete
and unutterable degradation of womanhood.
I will prove it by facts and arguments which
no honest man" will dispute. In all com
munities and cities and states and nations
where the Christian religion has been dominant,-
woman's condition - has been " ameli
orated and improved, and she is deferred to
and honored in a thousand things, and every
gentleman takes off his hat before her. -if
your associations have been good, you know
that the name, .of wife, mother, daughter,
r suggest gracious surroundings. You know
there are no better schools and saminaries in
Brooklyn or in any city of this country thanj
the schools and seminaries for, young ladies. -Yon
know that while woman may. suffer in-c
justice in England and the United States,
" she has more of her rights in Christendom
than she has anywhere eke.
Now, compare this with woman's condi-
tion in lands where .Christian'- has made
. little or no advance in Chins', in Barbaryy
- in Borneo, in Tartary. in Egypt, in Hindo-stan.-
The Burmese,, sell their wives "and
daughters as so many sheep.- The Hindoo
Bible makes it disgracetul and an outrage
" for a woman to listen to music or look out of
the window in the absence of her husband,
and gives as & - lawful ground for divorce a
woman's beginning to eat before her husband
has finished his meal. What . mean, those
white bundles on the '-. ponds and rivers
' in China in the morning? Infanticide fol-
lowing infanticide. Female children de
i stroyed simply because they are female.
Woman harnessed to a plow as an ox. Wo
man veiled and barricaded, and in all styles
of cruel seclusion. Her birth a misfortune.
Her" lifer a torture." Her death a horror. "
' The missionary : -of the cross to-day in
heathen lands, preaches generally . to two
" groups a : group ;- of - men who ; do as
they please and sit where they please;
the other group women hidden and care
fully secluded in a side apartment, where they
may" hear the voice of . the preacher but
- may not be seen. - No refinement. No lib
erty. ; No hope for this life. No hope for the
life to come. Rinsed nose, j Cramped foot.'
Disfigured face. Embruted souL Now com
pare those two conditions. How far toward
this latter condition that I speak of would
woman go if Christian influences were with
drawn and Christianity were destroyed? It
" is only a question of dynamics. If an object
- be lifted to a certain point and not fastened
there, and the lifting power ba , withdrawn, :
how long before that object will fall down to
the point from ""which -. it started! - . It will
fall down, and it will go still further than
the point from which it starteL Christian
ity has-lif ted woman up from the very" depths
' of degradation almo-t ta the skiei If that
lifting power be withdrawn she falls clear
back to the derth from which she was resur-
' rected, not going any lower because there is
. no lower depth. And yet, notwithstanding
the fact that the nly salvation of woman
from degradation and woe is the Christian
religion, and the only influence that ha3 ever
- lifted her in the social scale is Christianity
, I have read that there are women who reject
Christianity. I make no remark in regard
to those persons. I make no remark in re-
. gard to them;; In the silence of your own
. f ul make your observations.
- ' If infidelity, triumph andl- Christianity be
overthrown, it means the demoralization of
society. The one idea in the Bible that athe-.
ists and infidels most hate, is the idea of ret
? nbut:on Take away the idea -of retribu
tion and punishment from society, and it
will . begin very soon to disintegrate; and
take away from the minds of men the fear
- of hell, and there are a great many of them
who "would very soon turn thi3 world into a
heii" The ma'orityof those "who are indig
nant agsinst the Bible because of the idea of
: punishment are men ffho39 lives are bad or.
whose hearts are impure, and who hate the
Bible because of the idea of future pun'sh
ment for the same reason that criminals hate
the penitentiary. Oh, I have heard this brave
- talk about people fearin? - nothing of the
consequences ol sin in the next world, and I
- have made up my mind it is merely -. a
coward's whistling to keep hisco jre up. I
... have seen men Cannt their immCraliti-es in
the face of the community, and I have heard
them defy the judgment day and scoff at the
idea of any future consequence of theirin;
but when thcr came to die they shrieked
: until viu could hear them for nearly two
blockf and in the summer night the'neigh-
: bors got up to put the windows down because
they could not endure the horro.. r : i
I would not want to see a rail train with
five hundred Christian people on board go
down through-a drawbridge into a watery
grave. I would not want to see five hundred
Christian people go into sue h disaster, but I
tell yon plaiuly that I could more eos'ly see
that, than I could for any protracted time
stani and see an infidel die, though hi3 pillow
were" of eider down and under a canopy of
vermilion? I have never been able to brace
up ray nerves for such a spectacle. ; There is
fom-t')m atsuch a lime so indeicrlbabla in;
' the eounf cnance. I just Iooke 1 in unon it fnr
, a minute or two, but the clutch of his fist
was so diabolic, and the strength f ' voice '
was so unnatural, I could not - enlura It
"There is no hell, there fs no hell, there is no
belli" the man had said or sixty years; but
that night when I looked in the dying room
of my infidel neighbor, there wa something
on his countenance which seemed to say:
'There is, there is, there is, there is."
-The mightiest restraints to-day against
theft, against immorality, against libertin
ism, against crime of all sorts the mightiest
restraints are the retributions of eternity.
Men know that they can escape the law, but
down in the offender's soul there is the reali
zation of the fact that they cannot escape
God. He stands at the end of the road of
5rofligacy, and he will not clear the guilty,
ake all idea cf retribution and punishment
out of the hearts and minds of men, and it
would not be long before Brooklyn and New
York and Boston and Charleston and Chi
cago became Sodomy The only restraint
against the evil passions of the world to-dayV
.are Bible restraints, : : - -- : -

- Oh, my friends, there has never been such
a nefarious plot ou earth as that which .infi
delity and atheism have planned. We were,
shocked a few years ago because of the at-,
tempt to blow up the parliament houses in
London; but if infidelity and atheism suc
ceed in their attempt thsy' will dynamite a
world. Let them have tteir full. way and
this world will be a habitation of three rooms
a habitation with' just three rooms; the
one a": madhouse, another a lazaretto, the
other a pandemonium, n These infidel bands
of music have only just begun their concert
yea, they have" only been stringing their
instruments.' I to-daj put before you their
whole programme from beginning unto close.
In the theatre the tragedy comes first and
the farce afterward but in this infidel
drama ot death the farce comes first and the
tragedy afterward. And in the former athe
ists and infidels laugh and mock, but in the
latter God himself will laugh and mock. He
says so: "I will- laugh at their calamity and
mock when their fear cometh."
. From such a chasm of individual, national,
world-wide ruin, stand back. Oh. young
men, stand back from that chasm! You see
the practical drift of my sermon. , 1 wmt
you to know where that road leads. Stand
back from that chasm of ruin. The time is
going to come (you and I may not Jive to see
it, but it will come, just as certainly as-there
is aGod, it will; come) when the infidels and
the atheists who openly and out and out
and above board preach and practice in
fidelity and atheism will bo considered as
criminals against - society, as ; they are
now criminals against God. Society,
will push out the leper, and the wretch with
bouI gangrened and " ichorous "and vermin
covered and rott n apart with his beastiality,
will bo left to die in the ditch and be denied
decent burialt-and i men will come .with
spa Ls and cover up the careas, where it
falls, that it poison not the air, and the only
text in all tha Bible appropriate for the fu

Tlie Mississippi's Overflow A Missouri
:J ; Town Inundated. ; ." '-."
'. At eleven o'clock Saturday morning the
levee south of Alexander, Mo.," broke; in
several places, and a vast volume of water be
gan pouring into the town, which was com
pletely inundated. A spasmodic attempt was
made to check the irresistable flood, but with"
in a few minutes the laborers quit, and ac"
cepted the inevitable.' It required less than
an hour to inundate the entire town, which is
covered " with ; water from two to eight feet,
submerging almost! every foot .of aground.
Water having reached half of the houses,
their occupants have sought refuge in the
upper stories of buildings, where they will be
imprisoned until the subsidence of - the; flood.
In the main streets the water is i fully three
feet deep, circumscribing the movements of
the population, and rendering transportation
from one point to another possible only by
means of skiffs or rudely constructed rafts.'
Side walks ara overflowed and skiffs are landed-
in the doorways of private residences. Busi
ness is entirely suspended. ':: There has been
no loss of life nor .great damage to property
within i the town.; At this point the -Mississippi
is fully seven miles wide, and within the
range of vision ono vast, expanse , of .water
greets the eye. The area of farming land in
the Missouri bottoms that is submerged is es
timated 'at 75,000 acres, and a continuance of
the flood will result in an approximated loss
to' the farming community of that region of
at least $300,000. A high wind, prevailed
Sunday, which caused the waves to wash
opening in the Warsaw levee, which affords
protection to some 60,000 acres of If ertile
Illinois land. ' . r " ' ? i -

that damage done to the inhabitants of the
Red river valley during the past fewuays is
beyond;, computation, and the overflow the
largest since 1843. Most of" the plantations
near the river have been covered with water
four to six feet deep, and many miles of fenc
ing, cribs and barns have, been washed down
and carried away. Many of the people have
lost theuhousehold furniture, pro visions and
corn.sIn; several places the river water ex
tended from the hills of Arkansas to the hills
of Texas, a distance of ten to fourteen miles. :
At West Norwood, a negrowas drowned try

;. Narrow Escape of In- .
valicls. " " ,
:; Alarm and isxeitement reigned in Bu
js x., ltmrsday, owing to two explosic: s of
natural gas at very short intervals, the sec
ond one destroying one of Buffalo's finest
houses of worship. ;; - ;- Z'lS:
V At nine o'clock occurred the first explosion,
In the kitchencf Dr. R. V. Pierce's Invalid's
Hotel, at Na 663 Main street The inmates .
were hurriedly and safely got out and the
gas turned off, while the blaze which it had
generated was extinguished, damage having
been done only to the extent of $150. An
other explosion followed just as the firemen
entered the hotel, seriously to jurmg Michael
Brummer, of Hook and Ladder No. 1 , and
Foreman John Moest, II. J. Duffy "and Wal
ter Mahoney, -of Engine No 9. -L - ''-
' Hardly had the people of Buffalo the time
to congratulate themselves on this narrow
escape from what might have been the f ore-
runcsr of a disastrous conflagration, when,
at twenty minutes past nine, nature's gas,
Erotestinsr, as it were, against over pressure,
urst from the furnace in the basement of
the magnificent St. . Paul's , Episcopal
Cathedral, situated between B! ie, Pearl and
'Main streets, sending forth flames - through ?
its fine stained glass windows, while the.
whole of the interior was at once ip the em
brace of a mast of Are, the forceof the
explosion being such as to blow Kint - the
heavy doors on 'the Erie and PearX, street
sides.--, The Fire Department " responded
quickly, but in -yain, to. the call, as far'US'
saving the mterior of the stately edifice was,
concerned, nothing baing left of the-strnc-
ture but its walls, and-spire. fj.MrW. H.
Walker, one of the wardens, and the-: Rev. v
Dr. Brown, the rector, -were witnesses of tbe
destruction.'-: ' - ' j , . -.;
Robert Wilkinson, the? sexton, was in the
building twenty ; minutes before the Are
broke out e was jusfc returning 'from the"
Guild House, when he hoard a roaring noise1,
and simultaneously the huge - doors " were '
blo.wn off. their hinges. , Mr. A.. EPerrin
who happened to be looking directly at the
Cathedral, witnessed the same thiig.
The- walls and, the steeple are practically
intact and- will hot have to'ba taken down.
The Shelton memorial windows were among
th6 costliest in thecountryt bufe tha-'insur-ance
will probably be enough to replace
them Just at half-past twelve PrM. the
chimes rang out a merry peal, thus ,videnc-
ing that they are not intha least damaged"

r A? A. Arnold, of the "Valley Virginia,
Staunton, Va,, writes the following: remarli' '
able letter, the truth of which is attested by
many prominent Staunton citizens.
Mr. Crawford, however, is so -well known
in Richmond that no affidavits are necessary
in his case. His remarkable experience is
well worth perusal to the end r ; ;
"I was teaching school at Seherando: on
" the morning of the early part of February, .
isy, as l passea tbe village tavern tue nirea
boy informed me that there was a gentleman a
at the house dying and that he had sent: for
me several times." , - . v :

his convulsions "were so s severe and in such
rapid succession the nurs, had expected him
to die every hour, and he was at this moment
sinking rapid v. ' . . r; -: . ' . -
: How any being could suffer as ha did, and i
jive Js and always will be a mystery to me.
His groans could be beard at a great distance,
Thanks to a kind Providence a change came,
. and after a few days he was able to be re-
, moved to his home at Summerdean. "- For
many months he was looked upon as no better
than a dead man, ;-: V :v ; ; ; ; : - s : ; -
Imagine my surprise then when va few
months ago : I met him ihr Staunton; looking
in better health than ever. 1 imagined he
was 'patched up,' but I was mistaken, "for
you raizht meet 200 .healthy men and not find
' one in the lot who presents more the appear'

my fingers into the flesh of my palms. -k?

last some kind nngel . suggested that I use
Warner's safe cure.
"It was administered to ni3 and the' fourth
bottle had not been exhausted before some
good effeots showed themselves.: While I
-thus lay between two worlds I chanced to
read in 'one of ; Warner's - advertisements:
Some constitutons are liable to. constipa
tion. -When this is the case take Warner's
safe pills.' My wife sent for some and I took
a dose, and soon .thereafter L seemed - a new
creature in a new world I felt and knew I
was cured,' and so I was, lor now after a:
lapse of many years . I aav sound as a dollar,
with no symptoms of my old trouble, and :

safe pills to thank for my health,whieb,ut,der

of others as to. its efficacy. I owe my life
to the use of those most excellent medicines."

The science of surgery has: made STtch won-''
derf ol progress in modern times.that the most
intricate and delicate operations are now un-
dertaken - and carried s to-i a successful issue..:
There are now several well . authenticated
t ases of what is known as pnetimotony, that ia
. to say, the removal of "diseased portions of the
-lungs iu cases cf consump ion. While, how
ever, this delicate operation has sometimes
been successfully performed, the-risks attend
ing it are so great, and the chances of recovery
so lights that it is seldom" resorted to. The
saf est plan in consumptive cases is to use Dr.
! Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery This will
always cure the disease in its-earlier stages,
thomncliW ATrpstina the ravaeres of the terri
ble malady', by removing its cause and healing
the lungs..
