TALIJAGE'S 5 COJREUPTION IN Li ROE CITIES AND !' f HOW TO ERADICATE IT. , - The Correct! re j Influence Exerted by 4he ' Public Press. : 5 Text: 11 And the men of the ctly mid Elisha: Behold, I pray thee, the ttHftn of this eity is pleasant, as tuif Lord heeth; but the water is naught, and the ground barren: And he said: Bring me t new cruse, and put salt therein.: And they brought it to him. And he went forth unto the spring of the roater8, ad cast the salt in there, and said? ThuSy said the Lord, I have healed thess waters; there shall not be from thenUe rtn more death or itarrcn land. So the ivatei-i were healed unto this daun2 Kburs ii..t 19-23. ; - , - I ' " It is difficult to' -estimate hew much of the prosperity and health of a city are dependent upon good water,. - The time when, through well-laid-pipes and from safe reservoir, an abundance of water from Croton, or Ridge wood, or Schuylkill is i brought into the city is appropriately celebrated with oration and pyrotechnic display. ' Th&ftk God everyday for clear, bright, beautiful, sparkling water as it drops in the shower, or tosses up in the fountain, or rushes out at the hviirant. The City of 'Jericho, nat withstanding all its physical and commercial advantages, was lacking in this important element: " There wasenough water, but it was diseased,, and the people were crying out by reason thereof, luisha the prophet, comes to the rescue. He says: r "Get me a new cruse; fill it with B< and bring it to me." So the cruse of salt was brought to the prophet, and I s?e him Walk ing out to- the geueral reservoir; and lo! all the impurities depart, through a supernatural and divine infiuenc, and the waters are good and fresh and eloar, and all the p-ople clap their hands and lift up their faces in the gladness. . Water, for Jericho clear, bright. -beautiful God-jrivi Water! . At durent tinned I have pointed out to vou A - C - i . - " . the UUUUUU5 Kit. . uiuiuciuat corruDiion. ana the means for too rectification of those foun-i tains, j There are four or five kinds of salt that have a cleansing tendency.- J'BO far as (lod may help me, I shall bring a cruse of Bait to the work, and empty It into the great reservoir of municipal crime, sin, and shame, ignorance and abomination. - i . .. In this work of cloausing our cities, I have first to remark that there is a work for the broom and shovel that nothing else can do. There always has been an intimate connection between iniquity and dirt. The filthy parts of the great cities are always tue most iniqui tous parts. The gutters and the pavements of the Fourth Ward, Ne w . York, illustrate and symbolisre the character of the people in the Fourth Ward. The first thing that a bai man does when he is converted is thoroughly to wash him self. There were, this morning, on the way to the different churches, thousands of men in proper apparel who, before their conversion, were unfit in their Sabbath dress. , When on the Sabbath I see a man uncleanly in his dress, ; my suspicions in regard to" his moral character are aroused, and they are alwavs well founded. So as to allow no excuse fbr lack of ablution, God has ck?ft the continents witn rivers and lakes, and has sunk five great oceans, and all the world ought to be clean. Away, then, with the dirt from our cities, not only because the physical health needs an ablution, but because all the great moral and religious interests of the cities demand it as a positive necessity. A filthy city always has been and always will be a wicked city. j Through the upturning of the earth for great improvement our city could not be ex pected to be as clean as usual, but for the iiiimn aoie ant - oi crooxiyn ior tne last six months there is no excuse. It is not merely a matter of dust in the eyes, and mud for the shoes, and of stench for the nostrils, but of morals for the souL . Another corrective influence that we would bring to bear upon the evils of a great cities is a Christian printing press. . The news papers of any place are the test of its moral ity. The newshoy who runs along the street with a roll of papers under his arm is a tre mendous force that cannot be turned aside nor resisted, and at his every step the. city is elevated or degraded. : This hun gry, all-devouring American mind must nave '. something to f read, and upon , ed-. itors and authors and book . publishers and parents and teachers rests the responsibility of what i they . shall read. Almost every man you meet has a book in his hand or -a news paper in his pocket. What book is it you nave in your hand! What newspaperis. it you have in your pocket? . Ministers may preach, reformers may plan, i philanthropists may toil lor-tnc elevation- of the suffer ing and the criminal, but 1 until all the : newspapers of , the land "and all the booksellers of the land set .themselves against an iniquitous literature until then we shall be fighting against fearful odds. Every time the cylinders of our great, pub lishing houses turn, they make the earth quake, " From them goes forth a thought like an angel of light to feed and bless the world, or like an angel of darkness to smite it with corruption and sin and shame and death. May God by His omnipotent Spirit purify and" ele vate the American printing-press t t - I go on further and say that we . must de pend upon the school for a great deal of cor-i recting influence.; A community can no more afford to have ignorant men in its midst than it can afford to have- uncaged ' hy enas. Ig norance is the mother of hydra-headed crime.-Thirty-one per cent, of all the criminals of New York State can neither read nor write. Intellectual darkness jis generally the pre cursor of moral ; darkness. I know there ' are " educated - outlaws men who, through 1 their f sharpness of in tellect, am made more dangerous. : .They use their fine penmanship in signing other people's names, and their science m ingenious burglaries, and their fine manners in adroit rhortmism Thev eo their round of sin with well-cut amwel. and dansling- jewelry and watches of eiatoteen karats, and iid gloves." - . i . i t. : 1 . lney are rennea, eaucaiea, magamceiiii vil lains. But that is the exception. It is generally the case that the criminal classes are as igno rant as they are wicked. For-the proof or what I say, go into tlie prisons and peniten tiaries, ana loots upon tne men ana women in carcerated.! TheT dishonesty ; in the eye, toe low nassion in the unbare not more conspicu ous than the ignorance in the forehead. ,The ignorant classes - are always tne aangerous classes. - Demagogues marsnai xnem. j. ney are helmless, and are driven before the gale. It is high time that all city and State au thority, as well asthe Federal Government," appreciate the awful statistics that while years ago in this country there was set apart forty eight millions of acres" for school purposes, 4here are now in New England one hundred and ninetv-one i thousand . people .who can neither read nor Write, and- in the Stat-a of 1 Pennsylvania - twoi, .hundred and twenty--two thousand ;: who can - neither read nor write, and in the State of New York two hundred ana .lorty-ona tnousana wno can neither read nor write, while in the United States there are nearly six millions who can neither read nor write, Statistics enough to stagger and confound any man Who loves his God and h's country" . Now, in view of this fact,.; I am k favor of compulsory educa-- Urm :. "Whon ruwents areso bestial as to nearlect this -duty to to the child, I ; say the. law, with a strona hand.'at the same time with a gentle hand,ought to lead these little ones into the light of intelligence and good morals. It was a beautiful tableau -when in our city a swarthy policeman, having picked "up 'a lost child in the street, was found -appeasing its cries with a stick of candy he had bought at the apple-stand. That was well done, and. beautifully done. ' But, 1 oh! - these thou sands of little ones "through our streets who are crying for th- bread of knowledge and intelligence; I , Shall we not give it to them? The. ofiicers of the Jaw ought to go. down into the cellars and up in the garrets and bring out these benighted little ones, and L out them under educational influences; after i . . . i i . i i . .. i they nave passea tnrougn tne uain ana unaer tne como, puiwn; book, and teac X before them the spelling and .teaching them : to - read .the Lord's Prayer and. the Sermon . on the Mount: "Blessel are the poor in spirit, for theirs is th9 kingdom of heaven."

Take that down through the lanes of suffering. - Take, that down amid the hovels of sin. . . Take that up amid the mansions and palace3 of your -city.?

They sleep under the stoops,i tbeH Durnea-out sale, in tne wagons in tae streets, on the barges, wherever they can get a board to cover them. Ani in the summer thev sleeo all night long in the parks. Their destitution is well set forth by an incident.

Some of the poor people think it kind of lucky at night to say something over about that be fore they go to sleep. v Yes, sir,- I've heard of Him." Think of a conversation like that in a Christian city. - ---v-v'S How many are waiting for you to come out in- the spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ and rescue them from the wretchedness here! Oh, that the Church - of God had arms long tnough and hearts warm enough to take them up! How many of them there arel- As I was thinking of the subject, this . morning, it teemed to me as though there was a great brink, i and that theses little "ones with tut and torn feet . ; were ' coming : o:i toward . it. - And here is f a group o orphans.
