What wej want for a hattle-ery is the nanie of some leader who will never hetray u.4, and will never surrender, and will never die. j AH respeet have I for brave men and women, but if we are to get the victory all along the line we must take the ;hint of the ( iideonites, who wiped oiit the Hedouin Arabs, com monly called Midianites. These (lid eonites linil ti glorious leader in (Jid eon j but what was the battle-ery with wliicji tliey Hung their enemies into the! worst defeat into which any tinny was ever tumbled.? It wa "THE .SWORD" of the lord and of (Jideon."' I'utUod first, who ever y.ou put second. ' If the arin'y of the American devolution are to free! America, it must be "the sword of the Lord and of Washington.'1 If tlte!(.erm;ins want to win the day at S-iliin, it. must be "tlie sword of the lorl and if Von Moltke." Water loo !was won for the Knglish, because not only the. armed liien at the front, hut tlie Worshippers in the cathedrals at the relar, were crvinu: "tlie sword ol'tb ri.rd and '"of Wellington." (The Jethoilists have gone in tri umph across nation after nation with the eryj "The sMord of the bold and of" Wesley." The Presbyterians have gotie from victory to victorv with the cry, "The sword of. tlie Lord and of John Knox." The P.ap tists have con tiered millions after nil I ions' for ( hrist with the cry, "The sword of the Lord and of .Jud son." The Anieriean Kpis-opa-lians hay wijn their -mighty w;ty with tin cry, "The sword of the Lord and of Pishop Mellvaine." The victory is to -those: who put ( !od first. Hut as we want a battle-crv suited to all sects of religionists, and to all lands, nominate as THE CATTLE CRY OF CHRISTENDOM ill the approaching Armageddon the words of in v text, soijnded before the rk as it was carried to Mount Zion: Let (Jod arise, let His enemies be scattered. .As 'far as our finite mind can judge, it seems about time dor ( iod to rise. )oes itJ not seem to vou that the iboniination-ii of this earth have gone ar enough ? as there ever a time when pin was so difiaiit'Were there ver before po mtinv fisjts lifted to ward Mod, telling Him to come on if le Hart W 1 ? Look at the m.ASPIlEMY AI5ROAII ! What towering prolan it v ! Would it be possible for anyone to calculate Ihe numbers of times that the name of the Almighty find and of Jesus 'hrist jare every day taken irrever ntly on the lips? So cilfrnon has ilasphemv become, that the public mind an.d public ear have got usel to it, and a blasphemer goes up and lown j tints coiintrv in his lectures defying the plain law against blas phemy, and there is not a mayor in America that has backbone enough to mtertere with him save one, ami that, the Mayor of Toronto. Pro fane swearing is as much lorbidden bv the! law as theft-or arson or mur der, yet who executes it? Profanity is worse than then or arson or mur der, for these crimes-are attacks on huniatiitv that is, tin attack on (iod. This country is pre-eminent fir blasphemy. A 'man travelling in Kussiaj was supposed to. he a clergv- man. "Why do you take me to be a clergyman ?" said the man. - "( )h," :tid-tle Russian, ''all other. Ameri cans swear.'' The cri me is mtilti li v ing in intensitv. (tod v-rv often showsUvhat He thinks of it, .but for the most j)art the fatality is hushed up. A few summers ago, aniong the Adirondack,.! nu t the luiu ral ino- cessioiit of a man who, two days be fore, had fallen under a Hash of luhl- ving, while boasting, after a Sunday of work ill the field., that he hail Chcatcvl (iod out of oneila v jinyhow. md the man who worked with him on the! sjime Sabbath is still living but a! helpless invalid, under th same tla-Ji. On the road from Margate to f.anis- gaUv, England, you may find a rough monument with the inscription "A lmy was struck dead here, while m the act of swearing." Years ago, in a Pittsburgh, prison, two men were talking about the l.ihle and i hrts tianitv, :tnd one of them, Thompson hy name, applied to Jesus' Christ :i very low and villainous epithet, and as "he was uttering it, he fell. A physician was called, but no help couldrlM- given. After a day lying witludUtendcd pupils and palsied tongue, he passed out of this world. In a cemetery in Sullivan county, in tjliis State, are . F.101IT HEAIWTOXK8 in a line and all alike, and these are the facts: Iu LSil diphtheria raged in the village, and a physician was remarkably successful! rn curing his patients. So. confident did he be come that he lxiasted that no case of diphtheria could stand before him, and finally defied Almiglrty (Jod to produce a case of diphtheria that he could not cure. His youngest child soon after took the disease and died, and one child after another, until all the eight had died of diphtrTeria: Tlie -blasphemer challenged Al mighty 'God, and "HERE SHALL THE PRESS COD ACCEITED THE CTIAI.I.ENOE. But I come later down and give I vou a fact that is proved hy scores T ' i- . ti.:..

And while he was speaking his lower jaw. dropped, smoke issued from mouth and nostrils, and the heat of his body was so intense it drovejiack those who would come near. Scores oj jieople visited the scene and saw the blasphetuer iu. awful process of ex piring. . i ; . , n . f Do" not ' think thKt beejiuse Ciod has been silent in your Case, oh pro fane swearer! that He is dead. Is there nothing nrrw; in the peculiar feeling of your tongue, or nothing in the numbness of your brain, 'that in dicates that i Clili MAY COME .

Families keep them still to avoid the hornMe consouuitv. Phvsicians suiiiiress thein through professional confidence.' It is a very, very long roll that contains the names of those who died with blas phemies on their lips. Still the crime rolls on, U4hroifgh parlors, up through chahdalicrs with lights all ablaze, and through .the iict urei I ci utIi ! rs if el ul n mis. etc.. out through btisv exchanges where ath meets oath, and down through ill the haunts of sin," mingling, with the rattling dice and cracking bil liard-balls, .and the 'laughter other who hath, forgotten the covenant of her ( Iod : ami round the cifv. and round the continent, and round the earth a seething, boiling siirge llings its hot spray into the lace of a long suffering ' (Jod.

I -arraign profane . swearing and blasphemy, two names 'for the same thing, as heing one ol the gigantic crimes of this land, ami for its extirpation it does seem ;as if. it were about time for (Jod to arise. Then look for a momcnt'at THE EVIb OK Dlil'XKKXXrSS. Whether you live, in Rrooklyn or New York, or Chicago or Cincinnati, or Savannah, or in any of the cities of this land, count 'up the saloons on that street as compared witii the sa- 'loons five vears ago, and see they are growing-far out of jnoportion to the increase of the p ipulation. You people who are so precise and par ticular, lest -there should be. some imprudence or rashness in attacking the rum trallic, will have .your son some night pitched into your front door dead drunk, or your daughter will ct me home with her children because her husband has, by strong drink, been turned into a demoniac. The rum fiend has despoiled whole streets of good homes in till ourcities. Fathers, brothers, sons on the funeral pyre of strong drink! Fasten tighter the victims! Stir up the flames! Pile on the corpses! , More men, women and children for the sacri fice ! Let us have whole generations on fire of evil habit; and at the sound of the cornet. flute, harp, sack but,, psaltery and dulcimer, let all the people fall down and worship. King Alcohol, or vim shall be cast into the fiery furnace under some political platform. I indict this evil as the regicide, the fratricide, the patricide, the ma tricide, THE I'XOKHTDE OF THE CENTURY. Yet under what innocent and delu sive and mirthful names alcoholism deceives the people-! If is a "cor dial;' it i-s "bitters." It isan "eye opener" It is an "appetizer." It is a "digester." It is tin "invigorator." It is a."settler." It is a "night-cap." Why don't they put on the right latnis "Essence of perdition," "Con science stupefier," "Five Drachms of heart-ache," "Tears of Orphanage," "Blood of Souls," "Scabs ofan Eter nal Leprosy," "Venom 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 case of sour mush. That 1 see advertised all over. It isan honest name, and any one can understand it. Sour mash! That is, it makes a man's disposition sour, his associations sour, and his pros pects sour ; and then it is good , to mash his body, and mash his soiil. and mash his business, and mash his family. Sour mash.' he hon est name at last for an intoxicant ! I Jut through lying labels of maiiyof the apothecaries' shops, good people, who are a little undertone in health, and wanting of some invigoration, haveunwittingly got on their tongue the tangs of this corbra, that stings to death so large a ratio of the Im-" man race. Others are ruined by the common and all-destructive habit of treating customers. And it is a treat on their coining to town, and a treat while the bargaining nrogresses, and a treat when the purchase is made, and a treat as he leaves town. Others, to drown their troubles,submcrge them selves with this worse trouble. Oh, the world i battered and bruised and blasted with this growing evil. It is more and more entranced and fortified. They have 'millions of dollars subscribed ' to marshal and advance the acholic . forces. They nominate and elect, and govern the vast majority of the office-borders of this country. On their side they THE PEOPLE'S 1 i DURHAM, N. C, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 20, 18861 have enlisted the mightiest political power of the centuritjs. And behind them stand all thtj myrmidons of the nether world, Satanic and Apol lvonic and diabolic! H is beyond all human effort to! overthrow this liastile of decanters j or capture this (iihralttlr of rum jug. And while I approve of all human agencies of re form, I would utterly despair if we had nothing else. ljiut;what cheers me 'is that our best jroops are yet to come. Our chief airtillery is in re .serve. Our greatestjeommander has ,not yet fully taken the field, if all heil is on thir side, till .heaven is on 'our side.
