THE MORGANTON STAR, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1887. I nM. d! .... .-I "" rf. fHS REV. BR. TALIAG THE BROOKL1N DIVINE'S SUNDAY SERMON. Subject: "A Strait Reli Up and Down mfln Text: "And the Lordsaid untome,Amosl chat seest thou? and I said, a plumb line. Amos vii., 8. The solid masonry of the world has to me a fascination. Walk about some of the trium phial arches and the cathedrals, 400 or 600 years old, and see them stand for centuries, as erect as when they were bui'ded, walls of great height not tending a quarter of an inch this way or that. So greatly honored were the masons who builded these walls that they were free from taxation and called"f ree" masons. The trowel gets most of the credit for these buildings, and its clear ringing on stone and brick has sounded across the ages. But there is another implement of just as much importance as the trowel, and my text recognizes it. Bricklayers, and stone masons, and carpenters, in the building of walls, use an instrument made of a cord, at the end of which a lump of lead is fastened. They drop it over the side of the wall, and as the plum met naturally seeks the centre of gravity jn the earth, the workman discovers where the wall recedes, and where it bulffes out, and iust what is the perpendicu lar. Our text represents God as standing on the wall of character, which the Israelites had built, and m that wav measuring it, "And the Lord, said unto me, Amos, what seest tnou? ana i saia, a puimo line." What the world wants is a straight up and down religion. Much of the so-called piety of the day bends this way and that, to suit the times. It is horizontal with a low state of sentiment and morals. We have all been building a wall of character, and it is glar ingly imperfect and needs reconstruction. How shall it be brought into the perpendicu lar? Only by the divine measurement. "And the Lord said unto me, Amos,-what seest thou? and I said, A plumb line." The whole tendency of the times is to make us act by the standard of what others do. If they play cards, we play cards, if they dance, we dance. If they read certain style3 of books, we read them. We throw over the wall of our character the tangled plumb-line of other lives and reject the infallible test which Amos saw. The question forme should not be what you think is right, but what God thinks is right. This perpetual reference to the behavior of others, as though it decided any thing but human fallibilicy, is a mistake as wide as the world. There are 10,000 plumb lines in use, but only one is true and exact, aud that is the line of God's eternal right. There is a mighty attempt being made to re construct and fix up the Ten Commandments. To many they seem too rigid. The tower of Pisa leans over about thirteen feet from the perpendicular, and people gc thousands of miles to see its graceful inclination, and by extra braces and various architectural con trivances it is kept leaning from century to century. Why not have the ten granite blocks of Sinai set a little aslant? Why not have the pillar of truth a leaning tower? Why is not an ellipse as goo I as a square? Why is not an oblique as good as straight up and down? IM'y friends, we must have a standard; fhall it be God's or man's? The divine plumb-line needs t& be thrown overall merchandise. Thousands of years ago bolomon discovered tne tendenev of buv ers to depreciate goods. He saw a man baat- Ing down an article lower and lower, and say ing it was net worth the price asked, and when he h id purchased at the lowest point he told evervbody what a sharp bargain he had struck, and how he had outwitted the mer chant. Proverbs xx, 14: "It is naught, it is nausnr, saitn tne Oliver, due wnen lie is zone his way thsn he boasteth." So utterly askew is society m tins manner that you seldom nnd a seller asking the price that he expects to get. He puts on a higher valr than he pro poses to i e-eive, knowing that he will have to drop. If he wants fif v he asks seventv- five. And if he wants 3,000 he asks 2,500. "It is naught," saith the buyer. "The fabric is defective; the style of goo :1s ispocr; I can get elsewhere a better article at a smaller price; it is out of fashion ; it is dama ged ; it will fade ; it wiU nob wear well." After a while the merchant, from over-persuasion or from de sire to dispose of that particular stock of goods, says: "Well, t:ike it at your own come a common thing. I know of scores of great business houses that have had their op portunity of vast accumulation, and who ought to quit. But, perhaps, for all the days of this generation the struggle of small house? to keep alive under the overshadowing pres sure of great houses will continue; therefore, taking things as they are, you will be wise to preserve your equilibrium, and your honesty, and your faith, and throw over all the coun ters, and shelves, and barrels, and hogsheads, and cotton bales, and rice casks, the measur ing line of divine right. 4 ' And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? anl I said, A plumb line." In the same way we need to measure our theologies. All sorts of religions are pattin" forth their pretensions. Some have a spirit? ualistic religion and their chief work i3 with ghosts, and others a religion of political econ omy proposing to put an end to human mis ery by a new style ot taxation, and there i3 a humanitarian religion that looks after the body of men and lets the soul look after itself, and there is a legislative religion that pro poses to rectify all wrongs by enactment of better laws, and there is an aesthetic rel gion that by rules of exquisite taste would lift the heart out of its deformities, and religions of all sort3, religions by the peck, religions by the square foot, and religions by the ton all of them devices of the davil that. would take the heart away from ths only re ligion that will ever effect anything for the and that is the straight human race up and price," and the purchaser goes home with light step unci calls into his private offi?e his confidential friends, and chuckles while he teils how that for half pries he got the good?. In other words, he lies and is proud of is. Nothing would make times as gooi, and the earning of a livlihood so easy, as the univer sal adoption of the law of right. Suspicion strikes through all bargain making. Men who sell know not whether they will ever get the money. Purchasers know not whether the good3 shipped will be in accord ing to the sample, and what, with the large number of clerks who are making false entries and then absconding to Canada, and the ex plosion of firms that fail for millions of dol lars, honest men are at their wits' end to make a living. He who stands up amid all the pressure and does right is accomplishing something toward the establishment of a high commercial prosperity. I have deep syni- Eathy for the laboring classes who toil with and and foot. But we must not forget the business men who. without any complaint or bannered processions through" the street, are endurinsr a stress of circumstances terrific. The fortunate people of to-day are those who are receiving: daily wages or regular salaries. And the men most to be pitied are those who conduct a business while prices are tailing, and vet trv t,n nav t.hftir clftrks and emoloves. and are in such fearful straits that they would quit business to-morrow if it were not for the wreck and ruin of others. When people tell me at what a ruinously low price tney purchased an article it gives me mora dismay than satisfaction. I know it means the bankruptcy and defalcation of men m many departments. The men wno toil wnn the brain need full as much sympathy as those who toil with the hands. All business life is struck through with suspicion, and panics are only the result of want of confi dence. The pressure to do wrong is all the stronger from the fact that in our day the large busi ness houses are swallowing up the smaller, the whales dining on bluefish and minnows. The large houses undersell the small ones be cause they can afford it. They can afford to make nothing, or actually lose, on some style9 of goods, assured they can make it up on others. So a great dry goods house goes out side of its regular line and sells books at cost, or less than cost, and that swamps the book sellers; or the dry goods house sells bric-a-brac at lowest fisnires. that swamps the small dealer in bric-a-brac. And the same thing goes on in other styles ot mercnanaise, ana the consequence is that all along the business streets of all our cities there are merchants of small capital who ara in terrific struggle to keep their heada above water. The Cunarders run down the Newfoundland fishing smacks. This ia nothing against the man who has the big store, for every man has as large a store and as great a business as he can manage. To feel right and do right under all this pressure requires martyr grace, requires divine sup port, requires celestial reinforcement. Yet there are tens of thousands of such mea getting splendidly through. They see others going up and themselves going down, but they keep their patience and their courage, and their Christian consistency, and after a Whilft tViAir turn of success Will COme. Th.3 will die and their boys will get possession of the business, and with a cigar in the mouth, and full to the chin with the best linuor. and behind a pair of spanking bays they will pass everything on the turnpike road to temporal ana etei uai perdition. Then the business will break up, and the smaller dealers will have fair oppor tunity. Or the spirit of contentment and right feeling will take possession of the large firm, as recently in the case of A. A. Low & Co., and the firm will Bay: "We' have enough money for all our needs and the needs of our chiidren; now, let Us dissolve business and make way for other men in the same line." Instead of being Btartled at a solitary instance of magnanim ity, as ia the casa just mentioned, it will be- down religion written in the book, which be- the religion of the skies, the old religion, the God-given religion, the everlasting religion, which says: "Ijove God above all and your neighbor as yourself." All religions but this one begin at the wrong end and in the wrong place. The Bible religion demands that we first get right with Gal. It be gins at the . top and measures down, while the other religions begin at the bottom and try to measure up. They stand at the foot of the wall up to their knees in the mud of human theory and speculation, and have a plummet and a string tied fat to it. And they throw the plummet this way and break a iiaad there, and they throw plummet an other way and break a heal there, and then they throw it up, and it comes down upon their own pate. Fools! Why will you stand at the foot of the wall measur ing up when you ought to stand at the top measuring down? A few days ago i was in tne country, thirsty after a long walk. And I came in, and my child was blowing soap bubbles, and they rolled out of the cup, blue, and gold, and green, ana sparkling, and beautiful, and orbicular, and in so small a space I never aw more splendor concentrated. But she blew Once too often an 3 all the glory vanished into Aids. Then 1 turned and took a glass of plain water and was refreshed. And so far as soul thirst is concerned, I put against all the glowing, glittering soap bubbles of worldly reform and human sacculation one draught from the fountain from under the throne of God, clear as crystal. Glory to God for the religion that drops from above, not coming up from beneath! "And the Lord said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? and I aid, A plumb-line." I want you to notice this fact, that when a man gives up the straight up and down re ligion in the Bible for any new tangled relig ion, it is generally to suit his sins. You first hear of his change of religion, and then you hear of some swindle he has practiced in Col orado mining stock, telling some one if he will but in $10,000 he can take out 810.1,001), or he has sacrificed his chastitv. or plunged into ir remediable worldliness. His sins are so broad he has to broaden his reliion,and he become? as broad as temptation, as broa I as the soul's darkness, as broad as hell They want a religion that will allow them to keep their sins, and then at death say to them: "Well done, good and faithful servant," and tells them: "All is well, for there is no hell.' What a glorious heaven they hold before us ! Come, let us go m and see it. Ihere 1 Herod and ail the babes he massacred. There is Charles Guiteau, and Jim Fisk. and Robes pierre, the friend of the French guillotine, and all the bars, thieves, house burners, gar rofcers, pickpockets and libertines of all the centuries. They have all got crowns, ani thrones, and harps, and scepters, and when they chant they sing: "Thanksgiving, and honor, and glory, and power to the broad re ligion that let us all into heaven without re pentance and faith in those disgraceful dog mas of ecclesiastical old fogvism." My text gives me a grand opportunity of saymg a usetul word to all young men wno are now forming habit3 for a lifetime. Of what use to a stonemason or a bricklayer is- a plumb line? Why not build the wall by the- unaided eye and hand Because they are in sufficient, because if there be a deflection in. the wall it cannot further on be-corrected. Because by the law of gravitation a wall must be straight in order to be symmetrical and safe. A young man is in danger of getting a defect in his wall of character that may never be corrected. One of the best friends 1 ever had died of delirium tremens at 60 years of age. though he had not since 21 years of age before which he had been, dissipated touched intoxicating liquor until that particular carousal that took, him off. Not feeling well in a street on- a hot summer day ne stepped into a drug store, iuse as you and I would have done, and asked for a dose of something to make him feel better. And there was alcohol in the dose, and that one drop aroused the old appe tite, and he entered the first liquor storej and stayed there until thoroughly under the power of rum. He entered his home a raving maniac, his wife and daughters fleeing from his presence, until he was taken to the city hospital to die. The combustible material of early habit had lain quiet nearly forty years, and that one- soark ignited the conflagation. Remember that the wall may be one hundred feet high, and yet a deflection one foot from the foundation affects the entire struct ure. And if you live 100 years, and do right the last eighty years, you may, nevertheless, do something at twenty years of age that will damage all your earthly existence All you who have built houses for youselve3 or for others, am I not right in saying to these vonnsr men. vou cannot build a wall so high as to be independent of the character of its foundations ? A man before thirty years of age may commit enough sin to last him a lifetime. A cat that has killed one pigeon cannot be cured. Keep it from killing the first pigeon. Now, John, or George, or Charles, or William, or Alexander, or An drew, or Henry, or whatever be your Chris tian name or surname, say here and now: j "No wild oats for me, no cigars or cigarettes for me, no wine or beer for me, no nasty stories for me, no Sunday sprees for me. I am going to start right and keep on right. God help me, for I am very weak. From the throne of eternal righteousness let down to me the principles by which I can be guided in building everything from foundation to capstone. Lord God, by the wounded hand of Christ, throw me a plumb line!" Lord JSelson's general airecuou wucu into naval battle was, no man can do wrong that places his ship close alongside that ot the enemy.

Oh, no! I like fun. I be lieve in fun. I have had lots of it in my time. But I have not nad to go into patua sin to find it. No credit to me, but because of an extraordinary parental example and influence I was kept from outward trangressions, though my heart was bad enough and desperately wicked. I have had fun illimitable, though I never swore one oath, and never gambled for so much as the value of a pin, and never saw the inside of a haunt of sin save as when, ten years ago, with commissioner of police and a detective and two elders of my church, I explored these cities by midnignc, not out vl that I migfit in pulpit discourse set before the people the poverty and the horrors of un derground citylif e. Yet though I never was intoxicated for an instant, and never com mitted one act of dissoluteness, restrained onlyby The grace of God, without which re straint I -would have gone headlong to the S nf infamy. I have had so much fun that I don't believe there is a on the Planet in the pwsent .t i toi mrfA Hear it. men boys, wmen and girls, all the fun is oa tt side of right. Sin may seem attractive, hnt I it is deathful, and like the manchineel, a tree wnose aews are poisonous. The only genuine happiness is in an honest Christian life. The Chippewa, wanting to see God. blackens his face with charcoal and fasts till he has a vision of what he call3 God. My God I can see best when I take my hat off and let the sunshine blaze in my face, ani after a rea sonable breakfast. He is not a God of black ness and, starvation, but of light and plenti tude, and the glory of the noonday sun is Egyptian midnight compared to it. There they go two brothers. Ihe one was convert ed a year ago in church,one Sunday morning, during prayer, or sermon, or hymn. No one knew it at the time. The persons on either side of him suspected nothing, but in that young man's soul this process went on: "Lord, here I am, a young man amid the temptations of city life, and I am afraid to risk them alone; come and be my pardon and my help; save me from making the mistake that some of my comrades are making, and Bave me now." And quicker than a flash God rolled heaven into his soul. He is just as jouy as he used to be,l3 just as brilliant as ne used to be. He can strike a ball or catch one en easily as before he was converted. With gun or fishing rod in this summer vacation he wa3 just as skillful as before. The world is brighter to him than ever. He appre ciates pictures, music, innocent hilarity, so cial lif e, good jokes, and has plenty of fun, first-class fun, glorious fun. But his brother is going down hilL In the morning his head aches from the champagne debauch. Every body sees h3 is in rao.d descent. What rares he for right, or decency, or the honor of his family naui9? Turned out of employment, depleted in health, cast down in spirits, the typhoid fever strikes him in the smallest room on the fourth story of a fifth rate boarding house, cursing God, and calling for his mother, and fighting back demons from his dying pillow, which is besweated and torn to rags, he plunges out of the world with the shriek of a destroyed spirit. Alas for that kind of fun! It is remorse. It is de spair. It is blackness of blackness. It is woe unending and long reverberating, and crush ing as though all the mountains of all continents roll on him in one avalanche. My souL stand back from such fun. Young man, there is no fun in ship wrecking, your character, no fun in dis gracing your father's name. Therd is no fun in breaking your mother's heart. There is no fun in the physical pangs of the dissolute. There is no fun in the profligate's death-bed. The;o is n fun in an undone eternity.

Oh, this plumb lina of the everlasting right! God will throw it over all our lives to show us our moral deflections. God will throw it over all churches to show whether they are doing useful work or are standing instances of idleness and pretense. He will throw that plumb line over all nations to demonstrate whether their lives are just or cruel, their rulers good or bad, their ambitions holy or infamous. He threw that plumb line over the Spanish monarchy of other days, and what became of heri Ask the splintered hulks of her overthrown armada. He threw that plumb line over French imperialism, and what was the result ? Ask the ruins of her Tuileries, and the fallen column of the Place Vendome. and the grave trenches of Sedan, and the blood of revolutions of differ nt times rolling through the Champs Elyseea. He threw that plumb-line over ancient Rome, and what became of the realm of the Caesars? Ask her war eagles, with beak dulled and wings broken, flung helpless into the Tiber. He threw it over the Assyrian Empire of a thousand years, the thrones of Semiramis, and SarJanapalus, and Shalmaneer, of twenty-seven victorious ex peditions, the cities of Phoenicia kneeling to the scepter, and all the world Liancnod in the presence. What became of all the grandeur f Ask the fallen palaces of Khorsahod and the corpses of her IS.00 J soldiery slain by the angel of the Lord in one night,and the Assyrian sculptures of the world s museums, all that now remains of that splendor lefore which nations staggered and crouched. God is now throwing that plumb line over this American republic, and it is a solemn time with this nation, and whether we keep His Sabbaths or dishonor them, whether righteousness or in iquity dominate, whether we are Christian or inSdel, whether we fulfill our mission or refuse it, whether we arj for God or against him, will decide whether we shall as a na tion go on in, higher and higher career or go down in the sam grave whre Babylon, and Nineveh, and Thebes,, ani Assyria are sepulchered. " But," say you, " if there be nothing but a plumb line what can. any of us do, for there is an old proverb which truthfully declares: ' If the best man's faults-were writtan on h forehead it would make him pull his hat over his eyes.' What shall we do when, according to Isaiah, God shall lay judgment to the line and righteousness to- the plummet ? Ah. here is where the liospel comes in with a Saviour's righteousness to make up for our deficits; And' while- I sae hanging on tha wall a plumb linej I see also hanging there a cross.

Of course all who compete cannot get one of the premiums, but ome of the last year's reports sent us nhow that the parties ought to have been well oatisned if they had not received any other beneut than the In crease of etrgs they cot while making the trial. For example the first premium wa twenty five dollars taken hyC A. French, Waahtnff ton, N. H.,who fed thirty hens the Sheridan's Powder for ehiht weeks. The first wek he (rrt only ten ergs: the third wek the hen laid JJ1 eggs, and the eighth week 3ejrgs. Daring the eight weeks trial he got lw eci which, at the price of eggs in Boston or New York markets in mid-winter, would have yielded tfcUA or SL&jfor each hen in eight week's time. Con sidering the small expense of keeping a hen no animal on a farm will pay like that. The fourth premium, which nu ten dollars, went to Mrs. EL B. Carlin, Coaklin Centre, S.
