While I believe the Bible record that the world was fit ted up for 'man's residence in one week. 1 beheve also .the geological record that the world was previously for hundreds of thousands of vears going through great changes. The lumber for the house that was to be built in a week for our first parents may have been hauled to the spot a million years before. . This Prince of the power of the Air has been try ing for all that million year; to de molish and use up this world. 1 ne record is oh the rocks. ! lie tried to drown it with universal waters. He tried to burn it up with universal fires. Then he tried to freeze it into ruin, and covered it with universal glacier.

Yea, after the .famous Bible week the world had been fitted into a par adise for the home of our sinless an cestors, Safan comes into the Garden of Eden, ndt through the gate of fo liage and upright in posture, but crawls in under the bushes a snake, and having despoiled our first pa rents goes to work to ruin Paradise, and does the work so thoroughly that one who recently visited the site of the ancient garden between the riv ers Tigris and Euphrates says the place is a desert, not a, tlower, and the ground so poor that nothing but some date trees grow there, and the miserable, villagers from near by are not so well covered up with their in tl le the southeast part ofjhe But while these good spirits were making theirTeports a irhastly, grizzly, hideous monster from some miry, sulphurous, filthy world came into the palace without wiping his feet, and God asked; him where and how he had peen occu pying himself, and this greatest scoundrel bf the universes-made re ply with blazing eflrontery, and in stead of acknowledging any of the mischief he had been doing,' said he had been an earthly pedestrian and had lived ii sort of eircu-niambula-tory peripatetic life. "And the Lord said T-unto Satan: Whence conrest ,thou ? Then Satan, answered the Lord, and said : From 'going to and fro in the earth and from walk ing up'aud down in it." THE LIEUTENANT OF SATAN ON EARTH. .This monster of my text has a great variety ,of names, j You know that notorious villians ' are apt to take a variety of names.. Arrainged in Paris for burglary a man win give " one name, arrested in San Frabcisco for arson he will give another hame, imprisonedat Montreal for murder he he will give another name. So this creature bf my text has .many names, lie is called, in Sacred and profane literature Abaddon, Apollyon,1 Ahri manes, Zaniel, Asmodeus the revenge ing devil, Beelzebub the sovereign of devils, Lucifer i the brilliant devil, Diabolus the.depairing devil, Mam mon the money devil, Pluto the- fiery devil, Baal the military devil, Mere sin the plaguing devil. He is called father of lies anddias for his children and grandchildren and great grand children all "falsehoods, deception's, frauds, swindles, slanders, backbit ings and subterfuges. All men of good sense, whether enlightened by the Bible or in' healthendom, ! have noticed that there are baleful and ; malelicient influences, abroad, that have not their origin' in the human race, and demonorbgy is j as' certain asangelogy. The sword of Paracelsus . was thought to have hadja ; demon in the hilt, and there is now a demon in every sword hilt The ancients supposed the air was filled! with --svlnhs and satvrs and svrens !and gnomes and vampires and salaman ders and undines, and hoggoblins. The Talmud says that Adam's j first . wife was Lillis, and that their chil dren were all devils. Two or three hundreds-ears 'ago a demonographer gave the names of ambassadors of ; evil which he thought Satan sent to different countries : Mammon, j am bassador to England ; Bel ph egor, "ambassador to Frahc-e; ...Martinet, ambassador to Switzerlahd Rini . mon, ambassador to Russia ; Than ' niz, ambassador to Spain j and that there. was a princess of devils by the name of Proserpine, j But what was , mere guess work of mythology or superstitution has been made clear , by divine revelation, j We find that , there is sorqewhere a monarch . of - all -wickedness. He has' a throne of power-and pourtiers and armies and naviesrundjniachinery of evil vast as the round world, lie is the superviosr of all mischief, and what he cannot do himself - he delegates others to do, and as jeacb onejof our j race is supposed to have a guardian rgood angel, I- have no doubt that every human being has a beseiging malignant spirit nagging his footsteps and trying to make him think wrong and act wrong, an especial devil, a devil of , fraud or a devil, , of avarice or a d6vil of uncleanness or a devil - of poor health, and as in my text the spirits are represented, as repbrt . ing to the Lord; so I have noj doubt the evil spirits report to, Satan, who is the enemy of the whole 'human . . race, and who has a celerity! that ' makes fight around the; world the matter of a second, and who mar shals on his side the forces volcanic, atmosphericepidemic, geologic, oce anic and cyclonic. "And the i Lord saia unto fcatan: wnence comes .thou? Then Satan answered the , Lord and and said : 'From, going to and tro in the earth and from walk ing up and down in ft" j j - THE AGE OF SATAN S BLIGHTING RULE. Satan began his attack on this world long before Adam and Eve rags as Adam and Eve were covered up with their innocence. So you see the father of lies for once told the truth, when the Lord said unto him : Whence cometh thou? and Satan answered the Lord and said : "From going toand fro in the earth and from walking up and down in it." In my text we have Satan on his travels, and I am going to tell you some of the routes lie is apt to take. On his way down from the palace where he reported himself in an swer to the ouestion : Whence comes thou ? the first range of mis chief he may be expected to take is the air. It was not a witticism or a slip of the pen when Paul in his let ter to the Ephesians ! called Satan the "Prince of the Power of the Air." I think it means that Satan works through conditions of the atmos phere. The west wind is full of angels, the east wind is full of devils. Satan spreads abroad his black wings and hurricanes and eurocly dons ajul Carribbean whirlwinds and equinoctials are batched out. He. takes the miasmas " that float up from swamps and hatches them into typhoid fevers. He takes the cold blasts and hatches them into pneumonias and rheumatisms and consumptions. Not only has he power in the upper air where high est clouds iloat. but power over the lower air which we breathe, and as we breathe nineteen times a minute and take in three hundred and fifty cubic feet of air in eiepy twenty-four hours and much of this air affects the arterial circulation, you see what opportuni ties' the Prince of the Air has of con taminating and despoiling and de moralizing a" man. Through atmos pheric influence he clouds the dis position and rasps, the nerves and covers the best of people with reli gious despondency, as in the case of Edwatd Payson and! William Cow per and that beloved apostle of evangelism, James W. Alexander. His great delightisto have the air of churches vitiated and in J that way dulls the preacher and stujnties the people and sees to it that the atmosphere of not more thanj one out of a hundred churches is fit to breathe, and whole tongregations Sabbath by. Sabbath are asphix- iated. Yes, he is worthy of the title St. Paul srave him : "Prince of the 1 tJ Power of the Air." MARRIAGE IS BY NO MEANS A FAILURE. r Another route he is apt to take is through domestic life. There is no greater sport for him than a cpnjuga.l quarrel. I It does not make any dif ference how fong tne marriage ring lias beea on the finger of the, right hand, he will try to pull off the Signet. He says to the husband : "What a J r I I i...:u plain wile J'OU nave, comparett.wuu what she once was ! j Don't you see that the color has gone out of her cheek and there are several wrinkles about her temples and a sprinkling of frost on her locks ? Besides that, vou have advanced in intelligence J ' . . i ,ii V. 1 while she has stood sun or gone ones. How hard it is that you should be chained to such dullness and imbe cility !" Then he turns and says to the wife: "1 hat man neglects you, you have a right to be jealous. He likes his cigar and his club and any thing and everything better than you. Why not get a divorce ? Marriage is only a civil contract anyhow and not a "divine alliance.; .Let. me have that ring. It .means nothing, and you might as well give it to me:" The ring is handed over to Satan and he tosses it up and down like a play thing over the mouth of perdition and says : "I will hand it back, only let me have it a little w,hile." And he keeps tossing that ring, with all its sacred memories, higher up and further out, tossing and catching, tossing and catching it until one day you clutch for it, crying : "Give me back my ring !" but lo, it has dropped into the yawning gulf and you sud- and women who are restless present marriage state that ibey re suuae the old time courtship and take as much pains to make themselves agreeable aS they did five or ten or twenty years ago, before the wedding march announced to the Hushed and fluttering crowd that the brde and rooin were coming. According to the statistics of Professor Dikes, in one year in moral New Hampshire there were 241 divorces; in temper ance Maine, 478 divorces ; in gcod old Massachusetts, GOO divorces, and in the New England of ''steady habits," -2,Li3. In one county of Illinois 830. divorce suits were begun in one year and in many daces it seems as if a new arrangement had been mode of the commandments, and instead of ten there wejre only nine, the seventh commandment having been left out. Whenjyou see how many husbands and wives are parted by law, and know of So many who would like to dissolve cjonjugal partnership, do you not com'e to the conclusion that Satan is engaged in mighty industries,? j ANOTHER FAVORITE RESORT OF MAN'S I HIEF J ENEMY. Another route that Satan is apt, to take in his travels is the factories and oilier establishments where cap ital sits in the office or counting room and a good many hands of laborers. are busy among wheels' and spindles and fabrics. On this visit he will first step into the manufacturer's oflice and, finding the owner and proprietor of the great establishment all alone with his correspondence and his account books, says to hiiji: "You are not making as much money as vou ought. You furnish all the brains. Were it not for your enterprise this establishment would not be in exist ence. These men and women in your employ are of very common mold. Their appetite is coarser5 and they do not need the luxuries vou require Their comfort and happiness arc of very little importance. Put them down on the very verge of starvation and take all the profits into vour own possession, and if thev do not like it cial." He sees that young men have for good or bad been the mightiest; influence in this world. Hernando Cortes conquere(L3Iexico at thirty-two. Gustavus Tuolphus became ml mortal in history so earl' that he died at thirty-eight. Ra phael, the most famous of painters, died at thirty-seven. William Pitt was prime minister of England at twenty-four. Jesus Christ comple ted his earthly life at thirty-three. r lve years in a young man s life are of more power for good or ej il than the last fifteen of an old man's life. So Satan is especially greedy for young men, and in going to iand fro temp- OF tell them to go where they can do better." Having done his work in the counting room, Satan teps right out among the workmen, lie says: ''You work too manv hours; and you do your work better than it needs to be done. You are serving a bloated bondholder anyhow. 3Ie has no right to have any more than you have. Why should he ride and you walk? Why should he have tenderloin steak and you salt pork ? Capital is the enemy of labor. Let labor be the sworn foe of capital. Why don't you strike and bring him to tonus ? Wait until- he has a large order to fill by contract ami then he cannot help himself. Go all together, without a moment's warning, and tell him vou are going to stop. If he has more resources than you know of and per sists in going on and getting new men, give them a volley of brickbats or put a little dynamite in his ollice and blow him and his factory all up with the same explosion." Look out there on the night sky ! Great lire somewhere. What is it? The night is- cold and Satan has made a big bonfire of that factory to warm him self by. The capitalist has lost heavily and the workmen and their families are without bread and cloth ing. "Whence coniest thou, Satan?" ''From going to and lVo among em ployers and employes and from walk ing up and down among them. 11a ! Ha! I was the only one who made anything ' out of that strike. What a splendid tire and lots of smoke. 11a! Ha!i I like smoke." r SOME REASONS WHY j( ;OOP MEN GO WRONG, j , J Another route Satan is apt tp take in his active travels is through the mercantile establishments.! 11 steps How that that! for a of the maun we need never cue before he got his book on ft published1. denly find who has been pitching and catching the ring, and you cry out, "W'hence comest thou?" and he answers, "From going to and fro in the domestic life of the city and from walking up and down in it ; that is all."' There are thousands of mar riage relations strained almost to the breaking, and I commend to all men in and says to the clerks : much salary do you get!? 1$ all? Why you, can't live on You have a right to enough livehood. A few quarters out money drawer will never beissed ; or here and there is a remnant of goods you could take home without being found out. Or you.! could change those account books a little and you could make! that figure eight a naught and that figure five a three, and if you do not feel ex actly right about doing that you can some day pay it back, which you can do perfectly easy. "Don't feel like running the risk ? WSJl then vou can't go; to the thea tre and you can't go on that round with the boys, and you will have to wear that plain coat, whereas you could have your overcoat fur lined, arid take board at a tip-top ! place and walk amid plush and tapestries positively Oriental. While you are making up your mind I will just go through the dinerent parts oi tnis great commercial establishment and ,i l ill n try every one irom tne weauny urm down to the errand boys." The re sult of that Satanic visit is that one of the partners has drawn so much out of the concern that the whole business is crippled and a bright and nromising boy is sent ! home to his mother in disgrace and a young man is in iail" for embezzlement. Three - j . lives ruined and three eternities Whence comest thou, Satan ? "From poin? to and fro among mercantile houses and from walking up and down among them. I like to ruin splendid fellows and blast parental hopes and of all the liquors that ever tasted fill my glass with brewing of agonizing tears.1 Come ! let us click together the rims of our classes and drink to the overthrow of the fifty thousand young rrien I ruined least year! Huzza!" Satan would rather have one iyoung ;man than twenty old ones. If he would win the septauganarians and the oc togenarians he could do but little harm with them. But he says "Give me a young man, especially if he be bright and generous and so- in the earth he has especial! tation lor thejn. I HOW SIMI'LY MEN ARE DENUDED THEIR SOULS. Another route that Satan on his active travels is apt to take is for the dispoiling of the people's souls. It does not pay him merely to destroy the bodies of men and, women. Thpse bodies would soon, be gone anyhow ; but great treasures are in volved in this Satanic excursion. On this route he meets a man j who is aroused by something he has seen in the Bible and Satan says : "Now Ican settle all that ; the Bible is an imposition ; it has been deluding the world for centuries ; do not let it de lude you. It has no more authority than the Koran of Mohammedan or the Shaster of the Hindoo, or the Zenda Yesta of the Persian!" He meets another man who is hasten ing towards the kingdom jof God and says : "Why all this precipita tion ? Religion is right, but any time within the next ten years will be soon enough for you. A man with a stout chest like yours and such muscular development need not be bothering himself about the next world." But Satan says noth ing to him about the fact that the professor who gave his whole life to the study of health and could lift more pounds than any American died at about forty, and that another learned man who proved conclu sivt-iv that it we ooserved all the expired the subject published.. Satan meet.- another man who has gone through a long course of profligacy and is beginning to prav t.od tor forgive ness, and Satan says to the man : "You are too hAe, the Lord will not help.such a wretch as you ; you might as well brace up and light your own way through. .And so, with a spite and an aeuteness and a velocity that have been gaining lor six thousand years, he ranges up ant .down .baflling, disappointing, defeat ing, afllicting, destroying the human race, through his own hand or delegated int'ernalism he has pur sued and hurt us all, and cursed ev ery heart and cursed every home and cursed every nation and cursed every continent. He has instigated every war. He has rejoiced in every nestilence. He has started every w r i 1 i groan. Jle has pressed out every liih. He has hurled every slnp- wreck. l.azarettoes. insane asyiums. commercial panics, plagues, destroy- ng angels, continental earthquakes and world wide disasters are to him a perfect glee. Can you look upon the Communism and the Mormonism and the Mohammedanism and the wide sweep of drunkenness and rami and libertinism, the Franco ierman war, and Crimean war, the north and south United States war, and rivers of blood flowing across continents of misery into oceans of wretchedness, without realizing the power of the Evil One, who reported to the Lord Almighty, and when asked: Whence cometh tliou? an swered : "From going to and fro in the earth and from going; up and down in it." : But, blessed be God ! I may sub stitute anthem for requiem and Halle lujah Chorus for the Dead March in Saul. The New Testament says : "The Son of God was manifested that he; might destroy the works of the Devil. It prophesied that an angel would come down from heaven with key and chain and incarcerate and shut up the old dragon. It says that Christ came to "destroy him that had the power of death that is the devil." ! And from the way Christ drove the devil out of those possessed by him until ;he was glad to hide under the bristles of the swine of (iadara and from other violent eject -ments. we know that there is in ex istence a power a million fold mightier than the diabolic. The old lion of death shall go down under the stroke and roar of the "Lion of J-udah's tribe." Yea, my text shows that Satan was compelled to report to the Almighty and give account of himself. hen God said to him "Whence comest thou : he was forced to answer. What means that Scripture which says that Christ, shall bruise the serpent's head ? If" you have ever killed a snake the pas sage ought to be plain to you. You see this old serpent, the devil, has crawled across the nations, poisoning whole generations and leaving its trail on everything ; but after a while it will be cornered, and hissing and writhing in rage and with crest lifted and forked tongue shot out it will make final, attack on Christ, and Christ will advance' upon it, and, lifting his omnipotent foot; that foot strong enough to crun a world, lift ing that foot right oer he head of the reptile, will put 'down his heel with a crushing power that shall leave the monster bleeding and mashed, never to hiss again or bite again or shake his old rattle again. Thank God he has already received a stunning blow. Hear you not the rumbling of the Christian printing presses and the whirling of the Gos pel chariot wheel ? As many souls have been added to the Christian church in the last eighty years as in the previous eighteen centuries, and that is a ratio of increase acclamatory with gladness. The kingdom is com ing, and I am so sure of it that I do not propose to fret and worrv be cause it has not already come. I may ump to get on a boat that is going off, but 1 do not propose to jump for a boat that is coming in. The sharp attacks of infidelity and sin are a good sign that especial blessing is coming in showers over all the earth. r lies bite sharp just before rain. THE FINAL OVERTHROW OF SATAN. If we do not see the full consumma tion our children will see it. In the time of the French revolution a great procession of boys carried through the street a banner with the inscrip tion: "Tremble, tyrants: we shall ;row up !" Though we may fail to do our duty there is a rising genera.- tion being gospcuzcu aim coining ny the hundreds of thousands from our Sabbath schools and Christian homes who might properly have oh their banners: "Tremble, ve powers bf irkness and sin, for we are growing up!" We may not amount to much in ourselves, but if we put ourselves in tne ngnt place we can uo great exploits. Two put under two make onlv four ; out placed oesuic two make twenty-two. Yet what you and I-most need is power to drive back this Apollyon, this Asmodeus; this Ahrimanes from our hearts. and lives. And we can do it not by . our own strength, but by divine power afforded, for here is a passage em blazoned with encouragement which jays: "Resist the devil and lje will flee from you." . Remember it is no sin at all to be tempted. The best and the mightiest have been tempted Milton describes a toad squat'at the ear ot hve. l he sin is m surrender ing. Do not feel so secure in otir self as to think you cannot be over thrown. How do you account for the fact that there are so many old men in Sing Sing and Auburn and the other penitentiaries, serving out their prot acted sentences for frauds committed in mid life or advanced ages, although their early life had been" good, and nothing had been suspected ot them until at tilty or sixty vears of age the whole land was struck dumb at their embezzlement. The clock in the steeple of old Trin ity church striking the hours did not remind the recreant Wall streeter of the passage of time that would soon bring exposure to and doom. The explanation is that Mephistopheles, Apolhon. Satan got in his work at that time. The man was not natu rally bad. He was as good as any of vou are, but Satan with whole battalions of internals swooped upon him unawares. Look out for the wiles of the devil, not only those of ou who are voung, but the middle aged and the .old. Outside of God you arc not safe a moment. But yield not to disheartennient. If we put our trust in God our best days are yet to come days of victory, days of song, days of heaven, and the best days of the cause of righteous ness in all the earth are yet to come. As the ten thousand men of Xeno- phon's army when they cauxe to the top ot Mount 1 heches and saw the waters on which they were to sail to icir homes, the soldiers with clap- i i i - i ii ping nanus and waving oanners an together shouted: "The sea; the sea!" So we to-day in our march toward our heavenly home come up to the top of the mountain of holy anticipation and look oil' upon oceans of light and oceans ol glory and oceans of joy ; and thrilled as we have never been thrilled before we FltOJI WASHINGTON.. clap our hands and wave our Gospel ensigns and cry one tp another and shout up to the responding and re echoing heavens.

Washington, Nov. 11. Miss En dicott, daughter of the Secretary of War, will be married to the Hon. Joseph Chamberlain, ot England, in St. John's church, early next week. Mr. Chamberlain is among the tore most of British Radicals, probably has a brilliant future before him, and met Miss Endicott at a reception given at the British Legation by Lord Sackville-West. He came to this country to arrange the Fisheries treaty with Mr. Bayard, and was the; recipient of a great many social at- tentions here. Miss Endicott is about twenty five years old, and is quite pretty, although she resembles her father. ' Her "manners are reserved enough to satisfy the average British- matron. Mr. Chamberlain is about fifty years old and Miss Endicott will be his third wife. Mrs. Senator Walthall has just re turned from Warrenton, N. C, where she went to attend the funeral of her only sister, Mrs. Helen Wimbish. Mrs. Helen 1. W hitaker, who diedim Raleisrh, N. C, not long ago, was Mrs. . Walthall's favorite niece. Both Mrs. Walthall and Mrs. Wimbish are well known in Granville, Vance and' Franklin, by many of the, older resi dents, who remember them as the beautiful daughters of a wealthy Mr. Jones, who lived on the Roanoke, j The following morceau appears in' the Washington Capital-, the leading Sunday paper published here, this morning : "The Post of the 0th instant has a special dispatch- from Raleigh, N. C, announcing that Hon. A. M. Wad dell had entered the lists as a candi date for Cnited States Senator before the legislature which meets in Jan uary. This gifted and distinguished son of the old North State has a host of friends here who would heartily welcome his return to the national capital. When here he was the youngest member of the House, and at once took a prominent position and was made chairman of the com mittee on postoflice affairs. His many accomplishments peculiarly fit him for the Senate. Senator Ransom has been here for a number of years and is a gentleman of unexceptionable manners. The estrangement which is said to have begun early in the spring of 1885 between the President and Senator Vance appears to have been entirely reconciled, and hence Senator Ransom has been known to have access at all times to the ear of the President, and the North Caro linians here have constantly said, and it has been repeated throughout North Carolina, that the btate could not afford to dispense with his ser vices on this account. Unfortunate ly for him and the country at large the ear of the President will not be of any service to the Democracy af ter March 4th, and with this obsta cle out of his way Col. Waddell's chances for success ought to be great ly strengthened. Last Sunday I would have paid no attention to the above extract. ash ington and Washingtonians have very little to do with helping the leg islature of North Carolina choose a V S. Senator. Last Sunday I might have felt that it made comparatively little dinerence to yvnw taromia wiieiiici Maj; St eadman, another brilliant and deserving son ot the Cape t ear sec tion, or Col. Waddell or Governor Scales or Capt. Alexander or Minis ter Jarvis or Mr. Dorteli or one of a number of other Democrats in North Carolina, succeeded Senator Ransom in the United States Senate, becau I would have wagered all the money I have in this world on the result ol the National election. I thought Cleveland, surrounded by a Demo cratic Cabinet would be in the White House and that it was possible for North Carolina to hold her own here without the ability, the experience and the wisdom of Senator Ransom in case any of the other aspirants for Senatorial honors might have outrun him in the race. To retire him now, would be suicidal. I am well aware of the fact that there is no probabil ity of this, but it may be interesting to some of your readers as well as to some of the ex-North Carolinians here, who have not lived in the State for sixteen or twenty years . and who have had the good fortune to remain in office under Republican as well as Democratic administrations, to know why it is not expedient just now for North Carolina to dispense with the distinguished Democratic Senator whose Democracy and loyalty to his section are above reproach, whose experience during eighteen years of service in the United States Senate is of peculiar value to his State in times of possible danger and trial, whose opularity has gained for him the friendship of President-elect Har rison, as well as of every Cabinet probability, whose knowledge of par liamentary law of Senatorial usages and customs, gives him a great ad vantage over new and untried men and whose acknowledged ability, statesmanship, finesse and diplomacy make him a power for his State and his people, especially in seasons of impending peril. I have reason to know that Senator Ransom can be potential in defending our people from the insidious practices of many of the unscrupulous Republicans in North Carolina who will rush here on the 4th of March, clamoring for office. The writer of the article above is egregiously mistaken if he thinks Senator Ransom cannot effect ten times more with a Republican administration just as easily as he could do ten thousand times more with a Democratic administration, as an untried Democratic Senator could do. ment to hundreds of deserving peo ple, many of whom are white.
