The Eminent Brooklyn Divine's Sun - day Sermon. gvbjects 'The Evlla of Llqaor DrlBlo.' Tfcrr: "Xodh planted a vineyard, andh drank of the wine and teas drunken." Genesis ix., 20, 21. . Thia Noah did the best and the 'worst . thing for the world. Be built an ark against the 'deluge of water, but intro duced a deluge against which, the human race has ever since been- trying to build an ark the deluge of drunkenness. In my text we bear his staggering steps. Bhara and Japhet tried- to cover up the disgrace, but there he is, drunk on wine at a . time in the history of the world when, to say the least, there was no lack of water. Inebriation, having entered the world, has not retreated. Abigail, the fair and heroic wife, who saved the flocks of Nabal, her husband, from con fiscation by invaders, ' goes home at night and finds him so intoxicated she cannot tell him the story of his narrow escape. Uriah came to sea David, and David got him drunk and paved the way for the despolia-. tion of a household. Even the church bishops needed, to be charged to be sober and not, r given to too much wine, and so familiar were people of Bible times with the stagger ing and falling motion of the inebriate that Isaiah, when he comes to describe the final dislocation of the worlds, says, "The earth shall reel to and fro like a drunkard." Ever since apples and grapes and wheat grew the world has been tempted to unheal thful btimulants. But the intoxicants of the olden time were nn innocent beverage, a harmless orangeade, a quiet syrup, a peaceful soda water 3 compared with the liquids of mod ern inebriation, into which a madness, an 1 a fury, and a gloom, and a fire, and a suicide, and a" retribution have mixed and mingle 1. Fermentation was al ways known, but it-was not until a thousand j-eara after Christ that distillation was invented. .While we must confess that su:ne of the ancient arts have beea lost, tha .Christian era is superior to all. others in the bad eminence of whisky and rum and tin. The modern drunk is a hundredfold . worse than the aucieut driiuk. Noah in his' Intoxication became imbecile, but the vic tims of modern alcoholism have to struggle with whole mfnajeries of wild beasts, au 1 jungles of hissiu serpents, and perditions of of blaspheming demons. An arch hVud arrived in our world, and he built an invisible caldron of temptation, lie built that caldron t-tron ahl stout for all ages and nations. First he squeezed into the caldron the juicesof the forbidden fruit of l'aradise. Ihen he gathered for it a dis tillation from the harvest fields and the orchards of tha hemispheres. Then he poured into tlus caMron capsicum and copperas and logwood and deadly nightshade and assault' and battery and vitriol an 1 opium and rum and murder and sulphuric acid and theft and potash and cochineal and red carrots and poverty and. death and hops. But it was a dry compound aa I it must bo moistened, and It must be liquefied, and so the arch iiend ; poured into that caldron the tears of centu ries of orphanage and widowhood, and .he poured in the blood of twenty thousand as sassinations. ..." And then the arch fiend took a shovel that he L.a I brought up from the furnaces be-, r.eath. and he put that shovel into this great -il Iron and began to stir, aud the caldron began to heave and rock and boil and sput-. ter and hiss and smoke,and the nations gath . ere I around it with cups and tankards and demijohns and kegs, and there was euouh for ail, and the arch fiVni cried: 'Aha! rhanii ion tiend am 11 Who has done more than I have for coffius and graveyards and prisons and insane asylums, and the populat ing of the lost world? And when this caldron is emptied Til fill it again and I'll stir it again, and it will smoke again, and that smoke will join another smoke, the smoke of a torment that ascenleth for ever and ever. I drove fifty ships on the rocks of New foundland, and the Skerries, and the Good wins. 1 have ruined more senators than gather this whiter in the na tional councils. 1 have ruined more lor.l -lhan tiro- none gathered in 'the house of peers. The cup out of which I ordinarily drink is a bleached human skull, and .the, upholstery of my palace is so rich n crimson, lecau.se it is dyed in human gore, and the , mosaic of .my floors is made up of the bones of children dashed to. death by drunken parent, and my favorite music sweeter than Te pmin or triumphal march my - favorite imiic is the cry of dau?ht3rs turned out at midnight on the sdxeet because' father has come home, from the carousal, and the . seven hundred voiced shriek of the sinkiug steamer, b:?cause the captain was not him self when die put the ship on the wrong course. Champion fiend am I! I have kindled more fires, ' I have wrung out more agonies, I have stretched out more mid-. night 'shadows, I have opened more (iol- gothas,.I have rolled more Juggernauts, I Lave damned niory souls than any other emissary of -diabolism. Chamnion fiend am If . - Drunkenness is the greatest evil 'of-this nation, and it takes no" logical process to prove to this audience that a drunken nation cannot long be a freenatiou. .1 call your at tention to toe fact that drunkenness is not ; subsiding, certainly that it is not at a stand still, but that it is on an ou ward march, and it is a double quick.. There, is more rum swallowed in this ednutry, and of a worse kind than was' ever swallowed siuce the first distillery began its work of death. Where there was one drunken home there au- ten drunken homes. Where there was ou drunkard's grave there are twenty druuk-" rd"s graves. It is on the increase. Talk . about crook od whisky by which men mean the whisky that d-3iiot pay the tax to government-;! ted vim ad strong drink is crooked. Crooked Otard. crooked Cognac. . crooked - schnapps, crooked lie.-r. crooked wine, crooked- whisky be.iuso it make: a man's jvith crooked, and his life crooked, and . his d'ath erooke I and his eternity crooked. If I could gather ail the armies of thedead drunkards and have them come to resurrec tion, and then a l l to that host all the armies of living drunkards, live .an I teu abread, and then if I could have you mount a horse and ride along that line for review, you would ride that horse till he dropped from exhaustion, and you would mount another horse nnd'ride until he fell fro.n exhaustion, and you would take another and another, and you would rile alon; hour after hour and day after da-. Great host, in regiments, in brigades. Great armies of thm. And then if you had voice stentorian euough to make them all hear, and you could give the command. "Forward, march f their first tramp would make the earth tremble. 1 do not care which way you look ia tlie,rommun , it v today the evil lis increain-. I call attention to. the fact that there-are thousands of people boru wfth a thirst for strong drink a fact too often ignored.' Along some ancestral lines there runs the river of temptation. There are children-whot-ei swaddling clothes are torn off the shrou I of death. Many a father has made a will of this $ort: "In the name of. God, amen. I bequeath to my children my houses and lands and estates; share and share shall they alike. Hereto I aftix my hand anJ seal in the pir?ncc of witn?sses." And yet per k,aP? -iSat vei"7-mai- male another will vhat Jthe people have rivtr reJ.i, - has not been pro ia the courts. That will put in writing Would read somthing like this: "In the name of disease and appetite and death,- amen. I bequeath to ray children my evil habits, my tankards shad be theirs, my wine cup shall be theirs, my destroyed reputation, shall be theirs. Sharj and share alike shall they in the infamy. Hereto I af fix my hand and seal in the presence of all the applauding harpies of helL From the multitude of those who have the evd habit born with them this army is be ing augmented. And I am sxvrry to say that a great many of the drug stores are abetting this evil, and alcohol is sold under the name 'of bitters. It is bitters for this and bitters for that and bitters for some other thing, and good men deceived, not knowing there is any thralldom of alcoholism coming from that source, are going down, and some day a man sits with the bottle of black bitters on . his table, and the cork flies out, and after it flics a fiend and clutches the man by his throat and says: "Aha! I have been after yon for ten years. I nave got you now. Down with you, down with youf Bitters! Ah lyes. They make a .man's family bitter and bis home bitter and his disposition bitter and his death bitter and his hell bitter. Bit ters. - 'A vast army all the time increas ing. , It menu to me it is about tim- for the 17, 000.000 professors of religion in America to tate sides. It is going to be an out and out .battle with drunkenness and sobriety, be tween heaven and hell, between God and the devil . Take sides before there Is any further. national decadence, take ndes before your, sons are sacrificed and the home of your daughter goes down under the alcoholism of an imbruted husband. Take sides while your voice, your pen. your prayer, your vote may have any influence in arresting the despoliation of tins nation. If the 17,000,000 professors of religion should take sides on this snbiect it would not be very long before the destiny of this nation would be decided in the right direction. It drunkenness a state or national evil? Does itbelong to the North, or does it belong to the South? Does it belong to the East, or . does it beloDg to the West? Ah, there is not an American river into which its tears have not fallen and into which its suicides have hot plunged. " What ruined that Southern j ni.nt.iAni omrff flplil fortune, the Dro- prietor and bis family once the most affluent . rappor ters of summer watering places. What threw that New England farm into decay and turned the roseate cheeks that blooaiad at the foot of the Green Mountains into the pallor of despair? What has smitten every rtreet of every village, town and city of this continent with a moral pastilence? Strong irink. . To prove that this is a national evil I call ap two States in opposite directions Mains and Georgia. let them te3tif v in reardto this. State of Maine says: "It is so great . in evil up here we have anath3matizd it as i State." State of Georgia says: "It is so rreat an evil down here that ninety counties it this State have made the sale of intoxica ting drink a criminality." So the word comes' up from all parts of the land. Either drunk enness will la destroye 1 in this country or the America Government will be destroyed. Drunkenness an 1 free institutions are com-, ing into a creath grapple. Gather up th-5 money that thd working :lasses have spent for rum during th9 last thirty years, and I will build for every work ingman a house, and lay out for him a gar Jen, and clothe his sons in broadcloth. nd his daughters in silks, and stand at his front door a prancing span of sorrels or bays, and secure him a policy of life insur ance so that th3 pres3ut home may bi well maintained after he is dead. The most' persistent, most overpowering enemy or the working classes is intoxicating liquor. It is the anarchist of the centuries, and has boy jotted and is now boycotting the body and mind and soul of American labor. It an nually swindles inlustry out of a large par entage of its earnings. It holds out its blasting solicitations to the mechanic or operative on his way to work, and at the noon spell and on his way home at even tide. On Saturday, when the wages are -paid, it snitches a large part of th9 nimey that might come t" the family and sacrific3s It among the saloon keipars. Stand the saloons of this country side by side, and it is carefully estimated tUat thsy would reach from New York to Chicago. This evil is pouring its vitriolic and dam nable liquors down the throats of hundreds, of thousands of laborers, and while the ordinary strikes are ruinous, "both to em ployer and employes, I proclaim a universal strike against strong drink, which strike, if kept up, will Nbe tae relief of the wprkinr classes and the salvation of the nation. I will undertake to say that there is not a healthy laborer in the United States who, within the next twenty years, ff he will re fuse all intoxicating beverages and be sav ing, may not become a capitalist on a small scale. Oh, how many are waiting to see if soms thing cannot bs dona for the stoppp; of in temperance! . Thousands of druukards wait ing who cannot go ten minutes in any direc tion without having the temptation glaring before their tyes or appealing to their nos trils, they fighting againsf it with enfeebled will and diseased appetite, conquering, then surrendering, conquering again and sur rendering again. and - crying, "How long, O Lord! how long before these iniamous solicitations shall be gone!" And how many mothers are waiting to sea if this national curse cannot lift? Oh, is that the boy who had the honest breath who comes home wit'.i breath vitiated or dis guised? Whatacaange! Ilowqaickly thosa habits of early coming ho no have been ex changed for the rattling of the night key in the door long after the last watchman has gone by and tried to see that everything was closed up for tho niht. 'Oh! what a change for that youn man, who we had hoped would do something in merchandise or in artisanship or in a profes sion that would do honor to the family name, long after riloiher's wrinkled hands are folded from the last toil! All that exchanged for startled look when the door bell rings, lest something has happened; and tho wish that the scarlet fever twenty years ago had been fatal, for then he would have gone directly to the bosom of bis Saviour. But aias! loor old soul, she has lived to exparience what Solomon said, "A foolish son is a heaviness to his mother."- Oh! what a funeral it will be when that boy is brought home dead! And how moth er will sit there and say: "Is this my boy ihat I ussl to fondle, and that I walked the . floor with iu thj night when he was sick? Is this the boy that I held to the baptismal font for baptism? Is this tho boy for whom I toiled until the blood burst from the tips cf my fingers, that he might have a good start and a good home!' Ixrd, why hast Thou let me live to see this? Can it be that these swollen hands are th9 ones that used to wan der over my faco when rocking him to sleep? Can it be that this swollen brow is that I ouc? so rapturously kisset? Poor boy! how tired he dos look. I wonder who struck him that blow across the temple? I wonder if he uttered a dying prayer? Wake up, my son: don't you hear me? wake up! Oa! he can't hear me! Dad! dead! dead! 'Oh, Absalom, my sou, my son, would God that I had died for thee, oh, Absalom, my son, son!'" ' 4 I am not mu .-h of a mathematician and j cannot estimate it, but is thare any one here quick enough at figures t estimate how many mothers there are waiting for some thing to be, done? Ay, there are many wives waiting for domestic rescue. He promised something different from that when, after the long acquaintance and the . careful scrutiny of character, the hand and the heart were offered and accepted. What a hell on earth a woman lives in who has a drunken husband! O -death, how lovely thou art to her, and how soft and warm thy skeleton baud! The sepnlcher at mid night in winter is a king's drawing-room compared with that woman's home. It is not so much the blow on the head that hurts as the blow on the heart. The rum fiend came to the door of that beautiful home, and opened the door and stood there and said: "I curse this dwelling with an unrelenting curse. I curse that father into a inauiac, I curse that mother into a pauper. I curse those sons into vaga bonds. I curse those daughters into proflig acy. Cursed; be bread tray and cradle. Cursed be couch and chair, and family Bible with record of marriages and births and deaths. Curse upon curse."

Put on your spectacles and take a candle and examine the platforms of the two lead ing political parties of this country, and see what they re doing for the arrest of this evil and for the overthrow of this abomina tion. Resolutions oh! yes, resolutions about Mormonism! It is safe to attack that or ganized nastiness two thousand miles away. But not one resolution against drunkenness, which would turn this entire nation into one bestial Salt Lake City. Resolutions against political corruption but not one word about drunkenness, which would rot this nation from scalp to heel.' Resolutions about pro tection Against competition with foreign in dustries, but not one word about protection of family and church and nation against the scalding, blasting, all consuming, damning tariff of strong drink put upon every finan cial, individual, spiritual, moral, national interest. I look in another direction. Tue Caurvh of God is the grandest and most glorious institu tion on earth. , What has it in solid phalanx at accomplished for the overthrow of drunken ness? Hare its forces ever been marshaled? No, not in this direction. Not long ago a great ecclesiastical court assembled in New York, and resolution arraigning strong drink were offered, and clergymen with strong drink on their tables and strong drink in their cellars defeated the resolu tions by threatening spaeches. They could not bear to give up their own lusts. I tell this audience what many of you may never have thought of, that to-day not fn the millennium, but to-day the church holds the balance of power in America; and if Christian people the men and the women who profess to love the Lord Jesus Christ and to love purity and, to be the. sworn " ene mies of all uncleanness and debauchery and sin if all such would march side by - side and shoulder to shoulder this evil would soon be overthrown. Think of three ! hundred thou sand churches and Sunday-schools in Chris tendom marching shoulder to shoulier! How very short a time it would take them to put . down this evil, if all the churches of God, transatlantic and cisatlantic, were armal on this subject? - Young men of America pass over into . the array of teetotalism. Whisky, good to preserve corpses, ought never to turn you into a corpse. Tens of thousands of young men have been dragged out of repeatability . and oat of purity, and outoJL .good char acter, and into darkness by this infernal stuff called strong drink. Do not touch it! Do not touch it I ; In the front door of our church in Brook lyn, a few summers ago, this scene occurred: Sabbath morning a young man was entering for divine worship. A friend passing along the street said. "Joa. coma alonz with me: I am going down to Coney Island and we'll have a gay Sunday." "No," replied Joe; "I have started to go here to church, and I am f oing to attend service here." "Oh, Joe," his riend said, "yoii can go to church any 'dme! The j day is bright, and ve'll go to Coney Island, and we'll have a splendid time." The temptation was too strong, and the twain went to the beach, spent the day in drunkenness and riot. The evening train started up from Brighton. The young men were on it. Joe, in his intoxication, when the train was in full speed, tried to pass around from one seat to another and fell and was crushed. Under the lantern, as Joe lay bleeding his life away on the grass, he said to his com rade: "John, that was a bad business, your taking me away from church; it was a very bad business. You ought not to have done that, John. I want you to tell the boys to morrow when you we them that , rum and Sabbath breaking did this for me. And John, whde you are telling them I will bo iu hall, afid it will be your fault." Is it not time for me to pull out from the great organ of God's word, with many banks of keys, the tremolo stop? "Look not upon the wine when it is red, when it moveth itself aright in .the cup, for at last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder." But this evil will be arrested. Blucher came up just before night and saved the day at Waterloo. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon it looked very badly for the English. Generals Ponsonby and Pickton fallen. Sabers broken, flags surrendered, Scots Grays annihilated. Only forty-two men left out o'f the German brigade. The English army falling back and falling back. . Napoleon rubbed his hands toðerand said: "Aha! aha! we'll teach that little. Englishman a lesson.. Ninety chances oat of a hundred are in .our favor. Magnificent 1 magnificent!" . He even- sent messages to Paris to say he had won the day. . But oefore sundown Blucher came up, and he who had been the conqueror of Austerliti became the victim of Waterloo. The name which had shaken all Europa and filled even America, with apprehension, that name went down, aud Napoleon, muddy and hat less, and crazed with his disasters,' was found feeling for the stirrup of a horse, that he might mount and resume the conflict. Well, my friends, alcoholism is imparial. and it is a conqueror, and there are good people who say the night of national over throw is coming, and that it is almost night. But before sundown the Conqueror of earth and heaven will ride in on th9 white horse, and alcoholism, which has had its Au9terlliss of triumph, shall have its Waterloo of de- 1 feat. Alcoholism having lost its crown, the -grizzly an 1 cruel breaker of. human hearts. crazed witdYthe Tdfsaster, will be found "feel ing in vain for the stirrup in which to re mount its foaming charger.

THERE ARE POETS AND POETS Dow Some Writers -of Vers are eeiTeo in ineir uwa nor. y. Though nature and life are full p$ poetry great poets are few; for the poet is not a peer only, but a "maker" also. Innumerable hearts and minds have thej' gift to perceive what only one has theft gift to perceive and write. People are! constantly eelf-deceived about this, and, fancy they can express, because the j can feel, the beauty, tyarmony, and pathos of the world; and the delusion is sometimes kept up by the fact thar now and agRio, in a rare verse or two the fancy comes true.'
