Plane llaniaaltr - A Lost Here Without Divine Cnldanee. Ccpjrrlght. Louis Klopsch, Waeuxsotox, ilay 14. In this ser mon Dr. Ta Image gives a glimpse of what the world would be if the gospel were abolished and the human race left without divine guidance. The text is Acta il. 20, "The sun shall be turned into darkness." Christianity is the rising sun of our time, and men bare tried with the up rolling vapors of skepticism and the smoke of their blasphemy to turn the sun into darkness. Suppose the archan gels of malice and horror should be let loose a little while and be allowed to extinguish and destroy the sun in the natural heavens I They would take the cceans from other worlds and pour them on the lnminary of the planetary system, and the waters go hissing down amid the ravines and the caverns, and 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 out until the vast continents of flame are reduced to a small acreage of fire, and that whitens and cools off until there are only a few coals left, 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 ex tinguished sunl A dead sunt A buried sunt Let all worlds wail at the stu pendous obsequies. Of course this withdrawal of the colar light and heat throws our earth into a universal chill, and the tropics become the temperate, and the temper ate becomes the arctic, and there are frozen rivers and frozen lakes and fro zen oceans. From 'arctic to antarctic regions the inhabitants gather in to ward the center and find the equator as the poles. The slain fcrests are piled up into a great bonfire, and around them gather the shivering villages and cities. The wealth of the coal mines is hastily poured into the furnaces and stirred into rage of combustion, but soon the bonfires begin to lower, and the fur naces begin to go out, and tto nations begin to die. Cotopaxi, Yesuvius, Etna, Stromboli, California geysers, cease to smoke, and the ice of hailstorms re mains unmelted in their crater. All the flowers have breathed their last breath. Ships with sailors frozen at the mast, and helmsmen frozen at the wheel, and passengers frozen in the cabin. All na tions dying, first at the north and then at the south. Child frosted and dead in the cradle. Octccrenarian frosted and dead at the hearth. Workmen with frozen hand on the hammer and frozen foot on the shuttle. Winter from sea to sea. All congealing winter. Per petual winter. Globe of frigidity. Hemisphere shackled to hemisphere by chains of ice. Universal Nova Zembla. The earth an ice floe grinding against other ice floes. The archangels or mance and horror have done their work, and now they may have their thrones of glacier and look down upen the ruin they have wrought. What the destruc tion of the sun in the natural heavens would be to our physical earth the de struction of Chrisitanity would be to the moral world. The sun turned into darkness! What Atheism Would Do. Infidelity in our time is considered a great joke. There are people who re joice to hear Christianity caricatured and to hear Christ assailed with quib ble and quirk and misrepresentation and badinage and harlequinade. I pro pose today to take infidelity and atheism cut of the realm of jocularity into one of tragedy and show you what infidels propose and what, if they are success ful, they will accomplish. There are those in all our communities who would like to see the Christian religion over thrown and who say the world would be better without it I want to show you what is the end of this road, and what is the terminus of this crusade, and what this world will be when athe ism and infidelity have triumphed over it. if they can. I say, if they can. I re iterate it, if they can. In the first place, it will be the com plete and unutterable degradation of womanhood. I will prove it by facts and arguments which no honest man will dispute. In all communities and cities and states and nations where the Christian religion has been dominant woman's condition has been ameliorat ed and improved, and she is deferred to and honored in a thousand things, and every gentleman takes off his hat be fore her. If your associations have been good, yon know that the name of wife, mother, daughter, suggest gracious sur roundings. You know there are no bet ter schools and seminaries in this coun try than the schools and seminaries for our young ladies. You know that while woman may suffer injustice in England and the United States, she has more of her rights in Christendom than she has anywhere else. Now, compare this with woman's condition in lands where Christianity has made little or no advance in China, in Eartary. in Borneo, in Tar tary, in Egypt, in Hindustan. The Bur mese sell their wives and daughters as so many sheep. The Hindoo Bible makes it disgraceful 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 a lawful ground or divorce a woman's beginning to eat before her husband has finished bii meal. What mean those white bundles cn the ponds and rivers in China in the morning? Infanticide following in fanticide. Female children destroyed simply because they are female. Wom an harnessed to the plow as an ox. Woman veiled and barricaded and in all styles of cruel seclusion. Her birth I 1 i I misfortune. Uer life a torture. Her i death a horror. The niitiionary of the l enm tcday in beatLen Isnds preaches generally to two ,-rccpa a group of u-tn wLo' - r.3 tLcy jlessa and sit where th. u the other group, won:tn b" ad carefully secluded j in a title nt, vhcre they may hear tbe v lie preacher, but may net lie set::. o leflctinent. No liber ty. No bore for thin life. No hope for the life to come. Kinged nose. Cramped ! foot Disfigured face. Embrnted souL Now, compare those two conditions. How far toward this latter condition that I speak of would woman go if Christian influences were withdrawn and Christianity were destroyed! It is only a question of djmmics. If an ob ject be lifted to a certain point and not fastened there and the 7t ting power be withdrawn, bow long be&ra that object will fall down to the point from which it started? It will fall down, and it will go still farther than the point from which it started. Christianity has lifted woman up from the very depths of degradation almost to the skies. If that lifting power be withdrawn, she falls clear back to the depth from which she was resurrected, not going any lower, because there is no lower depth, and yet notwithstanding the fact that the only salvation of woman from degrada tion and woe is the Christian religion and the only inflnence that has ever lifted her in the social scales is Chris tianityI have read that-there are women who reject Christianity. I make no remark in regard to those persons. In the silence of your own soul make your observations.. Demoralisation of Society If infidelity triumph and Christiani ty be overthrown, it means the demor alization of society. The one idea in the Bible that atheists and infidels most hate is the idea of retribution. Take away the idea of retribution 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 this world into a hell. The majoirty of those who are indignant against the Bible because of the idea of punishment are men whose lives - are bad or whose hearts are impure and who hate the Bible because of the idea of future pun ishment, for the same reason that crim inals hate the penitentiary. Oh, I have heard this brave talk about people fear ing nothing of the consequences of sin in the next world, and I haye made np my mind it is merely a coward's whis tling to keep his courage up. I haye seen men flaunt their immoralities in the face cf the community, and I have beard them defy the judgment day and scoff at the idea cf any further conse quence of their- sin, but when they came to die they shrieked until you could hear them for nearly two blocks, and in the summer night the neighbors got up to put the windows down, be cause they could not endure the horror. I would not want to see a rail train with 500 Christian people on board go down through a drawbridge into a watery grave; I would not want to see 500 Christian people go into such disas ter, but I tell you plainly that I could more easily see that than I could for any protracted time stand and see an infidel die, though his pillow were of eider down and under a canopy of vermilion. I have never been able to brace up my nerves for such a spectacle. There is something at such a time so indescriba ble in the countenance. I just looked in upon it for a minute or two, but the clutch of bis fist was so diabolic and the strength of his voice was so unnat ural I could not endure it. "There is no hell, ther9 is no hell, there is no belli" the man had said for 60 years, but that night when I looked in the dying room of my infidel neighbor there was something on his countenance which seemed to say, "There is, there is, there is, there is I" The mightiest restraints today against theft, against immorality, against lib ertinism, 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 offend ers' soul there is the realization of the fact that they cannot escape God. He stands at the end of the road of prof ligacy, and he will not clear the guilty. Take all idea of retribution and punish ment out of the hearts and minds of men, and it would not be long before our cities would become" Sodoms. The only restraints against the evil passions of the world today are Bible restraints. Suppose now these generals of atheism and infidelity got the victcry and sup pose they marshaled a gTeat army made up of the majority of the world. They are in companies, in regiments, in brigades the whole army. Forward, march I ye hosts of infidslsand atheists, banners flying before,-banners flying behind, banners inscribed with the words: "NoGodl NoChristl NoPnn ishmenti No Restraints! Down With the Bible! Do as You Please 1" The sun turned into darkness! Would Abolish' Churches. Forward, march! ye great army of infidels and atheists. And first cf all you will attack the churches. Away with those houses of worship 1 They have been standing there so long delud ing the people with consolation in their bereavements and sorrows. All those churches ought to be extirpated r they have done so much to relieve the lest and brng home the wandering, and they have so long held up the idea of eternal rest after the paroxysm of this life is over. Turn the St Peters and St. Pauls and the temples and taber nacles into clubhouses. Away with those churches! Forward, march ! ye great army of infidels and atheists, 8nd next of all they scatter the Sabbath schools filled with bright eyed, rosy cheeked little ones who are singing songs on Sunday afternoon and getting instruction when they ought to be on the street corners playing marbles or swearing on the commons. Away with them I Forward, march! ye great army of infidels and atheists, and next of all they will attack Christian asylums the institutions of mercy supported by Christian philan thropies. Never- mind the blind eyes, and the deaf cars, and the crippled limb?, end the darkened intellects. Let paralyzed eld age pick up its own food, and orphans fight their own way, and tfce half reformed go back to their evil habits. Forward, march ! ye great army of infidels and atheists, and with your battleaxes hew down the cross and split up the manger cf Bethlehem. On, ye great army of infidels and atheists, and now they come to the graveyards and the cemeteries of the earth. Pull down the sculpture above Greenwood's gate, for it means the res urrection. Tear away at the entrance of Laurel Hill the figure of Old Mortal ityand the chisel. On, ye great army of infidels and atheists, into the grave yards and cemeteries, and where you see, "Asleep In Jesus," cut it away. and where yen find a marble story of heaven, blast it, and when you find over a little child's grave, "Suffer little children to come unto me," substitute the words "delusion" and "sham," and where you find an angel in marble, strike off the wing, and when you come to a family vault, chisel on the door, "Dead once, dead forever." But on, ye great army of infidels and atheists, on ! They will attempt to scale heaven. There are heights to be taken. Pile hill on hill, and Pelion upon Ossa, and then they hoist the ladders against the walls of heaven. On and on until they blow up the foundations of jasper and the gates of pearL They charge up the steep. Now they aim for the throne of him who liveth forever and ever. They would take down from their high place the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost "Down with them!" they say. "Down with them from the throne!" they say. "Down forever 1 Down out of 6ight! He lis not God. He has no right to sit there. Down with him! Down with Christ!" Turned Back to Savagery. A world without a head, a universe without a king. Orphan constellations. Fatherless galaxies. Anarchy supreme. A dethroned Jehovah. An assassinated God. Patricide, regicide, deicide. That is what they mean. That is what they will have, if they can. I say, if they can. ' Civilization hurled back into semibarbarism, and semibarbarism driven back into Hottentot savagery. The wheel of progress turned the other way and turned toward the dark ages. The clock of ,the centuries put back 2,000 years. Go back, yon Sandwich Islands, from your schools, and from your colleges, and from your reformed condition, to what you were in 1820, when the missionaries first came. Call home the 500 missionaries from India and overthrow their 2,000 schools, where they are trying to educate the heathen, and- scatter the 140,000 little children , that, they have gathered out of barbarism into civilization. Obliter ate all the work of Dr. Duff in India, of David Abeel in China, of Dr. King . - m T- C in lireece, or juason in unrma, 01 David Brainerd amid the American aborigines, and send home the 3,000 missionaries of the cross who are toil ing in foreign lands, toiling for Christ's sake, toiling themselves into the grave. Tell these 3,000 men of God that they are of no use. Send home the medical missionaries who are doctoring the bodies as well as the souls of the dying nations. Go home, London Missionary society ! Go home, American board of foreign missions! Go home, ye Mora vians, and relinquish back into darkness and squalor and death the nations whom ye have begun to lift. Oh, my friends, there has never been such a nefarious plot on earth as that which infidelity and atheism have plan ned. We were shocked a few years ago because of the attempt to blow up the parliament houses in London, but if in fidelity and atheism succeed in their at tempt they will dynamite a world. Let them have their 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. These infidel bands of music have only just begun their concert yea, they have only been stringing their instru ments. T today put before you their whole programme from beginning unto close. In the theater the tragedy comes first and the farce afterward, but in this infidel drama of death the farce comes first and the tragedy afterward. And in the former, atheists 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- meek when their fear cometh. From such a chasm of individual, na tional, worldwide ruin, stand back. Oh, young men, stand back from tkat chasm ! You see the practical drift cf my sermon. I want 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 live to see it, but it. will come, just as certainly as there is a God, it will come) when the infidels and the atheists who openly and cut and out and aboveboard preach and practice infidelity and atheism, will be considered as criminals against society, as they are now criminals against God. Society will push out the leper, and the wretch with soul gan grened and ichorous and .vermin cover ed and rotting apart with his bestiali ty will be left to die in the ditch and be denied decent burial, and men will come with epades and cover up tha car- ' . - - a cass where it falls, that it poiscn noi tha air. and the only text in all the Bi ble appropriate for the funeral sermon will be Jeremiah xxn, iy, "Me sncii oe buried with the burial of an ass. ' Infidelity Will Fall. A thousand voices come up to me this hour, saying: "Do you really think infidelity will succeed? Has Chris tianity received its deathblow? And will the Bible become obsolete?" Yes, when the smcke of the city chimney arrests and destroys the noonday sun. Josenhus savs about the time of the destruction of Jerusalem the sun was tarrned into darkness, but only the elends rolled between the sun and the earth. The sun went right on. It is the same sun, the same luminary, as when at the beginning it shet out like aa electric spark from God's finger, and today it is warming the nations, and today it is gilding the sea, and today it is tilling the earth with its light The same old sun, not at all worn cut though its light steps cse hundred and ninety million miles a second, though its pulsations are four hundred and fifty trillion undulations in a second. The lame sun with beautiful white light made up of the violet, and the indigo, and the blue, and the green, and tha red, and the yellow, and the orange the seven beautiful colors, now just at when the eolar spectrum first divided them. At there the beginning God said, "Let be light," and light was, and light is, and light shall be. So Chris tianity is rolling on, and it is going to warm, all nations, and all nations are to bask in its light Men may shut the window blinds so they cannot see it, or they may smoke the pipe of speculation until they are shadowed under their own vaporing, but the Lord God is a sun! This white light of the gospel made up of all the beautiful colors of earth and heaven violet plucked from amid the spring grassand the indigo of the southern jungles, and the bine of the skies, and the green of tile foliage, and;the yellow of the autumnal woods, and the orange of the southern groves, and the red of the sunsets. All the beauties of earth and heaven brought out by this spiritual spectrum. Great Britain is going to take all Europe for God. The United States are going to take America for God. Both of them together will take all Asia for God. All three of them will take Africa for God. "Who art thou, O great mountain! Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain." "The mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. " Halleluiah, amen! A NOVEL CIGAR HOLDER. Captain Maltland Possesses One Made From a Lobster's Clav. There is a novelty in the shape of a cigar holder which is being introduced into Kansas City. It is distinctly Eng lish and decidedly uncanny. The holder is made of the inside claw of the left fin of the deep sea lobster. , Captain Maitland.cf the zoo has one of the cigar holders, and he has present ed several others to his friends. As one would naturally expect from the cap tain, who has many interesting curios abcut his person, his possessions are very much out of the ordinary. He se cured his lobster fin cigar holder some time ago while on the Atlantic coast. He was in a market place one day and noticed a very fine specimen of lobster. The captain is an Englishman, and, having seen and used many of the unique holders, decided that the claw of thi3 lobster would make a very fine holder for his Havana. He purchased the lobster and cut off the claw and put it in his trunk. A few weeks ago, struck with the novelty of the thing in a city where even the lobster is not common, to say nothing of the trinkets mada from the shell, he got out the shell and polished it up. It makes an ideal cigar holder. It is about two inches in length, and one side of it is serrated. When it is first used, it is a bright red, the color of a boiled lobster. As the smoke and nicotine penetrate the soft shell it grad ually turns black as ebony. At first the eolor begins in spots and then spreads entirely over the entire holder, with the exception of the teeth, which still retain their vermilion hue. In England, where the lobster shell is much used in the manufacture of trinkets, the cigar holder made of the claw is very common. It is, however, only about one lobster in 50 that is available for this use. The jeweler takes the holder in the rough and polishes it He puts an amber tip on it and a silver or gold band on the large end, and it sells easily. It much resembles a meer schaum, and people who have used these holders for long 'periods of time say that they get to like the taste of the lobster holder as much as the cigar itself. ' ' The captain was presented a few days ago with the left paw of a mon kev. which was formerly the property of little Edna, who belonged to Bert Scott of the Capital saloon. Mr. bcott was the advance asent of Cole's, Mid- dleton's and Lemen Bros. circuses. The paw has become mummified, and gold bands have been placed around it. It is intended for a watch charm and will hereafter be displayed upon t ett -of the captain. Kansas Giif Tiiacs T'tm Bishop Wa a "mooter.' Tj Jkiner about bishops, the other aft- em-i.u a distinguished, stately man, clad :n the garb or a minister, was ovex at tlu fish commission, spending a half hoci- in watching the gyrations of the rneciiiiens in the tank. One of the sci entists of the institution, a young ich- tbyologist, whose papers on tae suD3eci lof deep sea investigation are attracting attention tnrougnou. me www, pened, ia passing the tank, to notice th minister. He studied the stately visitor for a minute, and then he walk ed np to him. "Am I right," he inquired, "in sup posing you to be the Right Rev. Lucitn Lee Kmsolving, Episcopal bisnop cr Brazil?" "You are." renlied the stately man. regarding his questioner wonderingly. "Well, then, hello, 'Blookerl' said the scientist jovially, holding out bis band. Whv. hello, there.
