REV. DR. TALHAGB. The Eminent Brooklyn Divine's Sun day Sermon. gnbjrctt 'Th Plc" ofCrime." Text: "All the teat era that if ere in tht jn'ter vctre turned to blood" Exodus vii., 20. Among all the Eptian plague? none'could .have been worse than this. The Nile is the wealth of Egyfg Its fish the food, its waters , the irrigatiou or garden and fields. . Its con ' dition decide the prosperity or the doom of t the empire. ' What happens to the Kile hap : pens to all Egypt; And now in the text that gref 5 river is incarnadined. It is a red gash. ecross an empire. In poetic license we speak of wars which turn foe rivers into blood, i Iiui my text is not a poetic license It was a fact, a great crimson, appalling condition described. The Nile rolling deep of blood. Can you imagine a more awful plague? The modem plague which nearest corre rponds with that is the plagae of crime in all our cities. It halts not for bloodshed. It shrinks from no carnage. It bruises and cuts and strikes down and destroys. It re vels in the blood of body and oul,tbis pligu of crime rampant for ages, and never bolder or more rampant than now. The annual police reports of these cities as I examine them are to me more suggestive than Dante's Inferno, and all Christian pesple as well as reformers need to awaken to a pres ent and tremendous duty. If you want this "Plague of Crime' to sto'o there are several kinds of persons you need to consider. First, the public criminals. You ought not to be surprised that these people make up a large portion in many communities. The vast majority of the criminals who take ship from Europe come into our own port. In 1869, of the forty-nine thousand people who were In carcerated in the prisons of the country thirty-two thousand were of foreign birth. Many of them were the very desperadoes of society, oozing into the slums of our city, waiting for an opportunitv to riot and steal and debauch, joining the lare-e trane of . American thugs and cut-throats. There are in this cluster of cities New York, Jersey City and lirooklyn four thcuhand people whose entire business in life is to commit suicide. That is as much' their business as jurisprudence or medicine! or merchandise is your business. To it they 1 bring all their energies of body, mind and foul, and they look upon the intervals which ' they spend in prison as so much unfortunate ' lots of time, just a? you look upon an attack of influenza and rheumatism which fastens you in the house for a few days. It is their : lifetime business to pick pockets, and blow up safes and shoplift and ply the panel game, . and they have as much pride of skill in their business as you have in yours whan you up set the argument of an opposing counsel, or' cure a gunshot fracture which other sur-'. geons have given up, or foresee a turn in the market as you buy goods just before they go up twenty per cent. It is their business to commit crime, and I do not suppose that, once in a year the thought of the immorality" strikes them. ! Added to these professional criminals,. American and foreign, there aro a large class of men who are more or less industrious in crime. In one year the police in this cluster of cities arrested ten thousand people for theft, and ten thousand for assault and battery, aud fifty thousand for intoxication. Drunkenness is responsible for much of the thett, since itrconfuses a man's ideas of; property, and he. gets his hauds on things that do not belong to him. Rum isresponsi-; ble for much of the assault and battery, in- spiring men to sudden bravery, which they must demonstrate though it be on the face of the next gentleman. Ten million dollars' worth of property stolen in this cluster of citiasdn one year! You cannot, as good citizens, be independent of that fact It will touch your pocket.since I have to give you the fact'that thee thrae cities pay about eight million do' lars' worth of taxes a year to arraign, try and support tne criminal population. You help to pav( the board of every criminal, from the sneakj thief that snatches a spool of cotton up to some man who swamps a bank. More than', that, it touches your heart in the moral de-i pression of the community. You might as! well think to stand in a" closely confined1 room where there are fifty people and yet not breathe the vitiated air, as to stand in a community where there is such a great multitude of the depraved without some-' whatteing contaminated. What is the fire that burns your store down compared vlth' the conflagration which consumes your morals? What is the theft of the gold and' silver from your money safe compared with thejheft of your children's virtue? ' We ere all ready to arraign criminals. We shout at the top o our voice, "Stop thief!" and when the police get on the track we come out, hatless and in our slippers, and assit in the arrest. We come aro j nd the bawling ruffian and hustle him off to justice, and when he gets in prison what do we do for him? With great gusto we put on the hand- ' cuffs and the hopples; but wha't preparation are we making tor the day when the hand cuffs and the hopples come off? Society fecms to say to these criminals, "Villain, go'j in there and rot," when it ought to say.'i ,iou are an offender against the law, butj we mean to give you au opportunity to. re pent; we mean to help you. Here are Bibles and tracts and Christian influences. Christ died for you. Look and live." I Vast improvements have been made b7 introducing industries into the prison; but; we want something more than hammers! and shoo lasts to reclaim these people. Aye,; ,we want more than sermons on the Sabbath! day. Society must impress these men with 4the fact that it does not enjoy their suf eriug, and that it is attempting to reform; and elevate them. Tho majority of crimin-i uls suppose that society has a grudge against them, and they in turn have a grudge against society. They are karder in heart and more infuri ate when thry come out of jail than when they went in. Many of the people who go to prUon go again and again and again. j Some years ago, of fifteen hundred prisoners who during the year had beea in Sing Sing, four hundred bad been there before. In a house of correction in the country, where during a certain reacU of time ther had been five thousand people, moro than ibree thousand had been there before. So, in one, case the prison, and in the other the house of correction, lelt them just as bad as they were before. The secret a rv of cne of the benevolent societies of New York ays a lad fifteen yeari of ape bad spent three years of his life in prison, and he s-aid to the lad, "What have they done for you to make yuu better?1 VW1," icplied tho- lad, "the first time I was brought up before the judge he said. 'You ought to be ashamed of yourself. And then 1 committed a crime again, and I was brought up before the same judge, and he aid, You rascal f And after a while I cemmitted some other crime, and I was brought before the same judge, and he said, You ought to be hanged.: " That was all they had dene for him in the way of reforma tion and salvation. Oh,nvou say. nhese people are incorrigible." 1 suppose there re hundreds of persons thisday lying in the prison bunks who would leap up at the proepect cl reformation if society would enly allow theai a way into decsary and ; mpcctati'ity. "Oh," you say, "I have no patience with there rogues." I ask yon in reply, how much better would you have been under the same circumstances? Suppose your mother had been a blasphemer and your father a eot, and tou had started life with a body stuffed with evil proclivities, and you had sptnt much of your time in a cellar amid obscenities and cursing, and if at tea year of age vou had been compelled to go out and steal, battered and banged at night if you came in without any spoils, and suppose your early manhood and womanhood had been covered with rags and filth, and decent society had turned its back upon you, and leit ypu to consort with vagabonds and wharf rats how much better would you have been? I have no sympathy with that executive clemency which would let crime run loose, or which would sit in the gallery of a court room weeping; because some har J hearted wretch is brought to justice; but I do say that the safety and life of the com munity demand more potential influences ia behalf of public offenders. In some of the city prisons the air is like that of the Black Hole of Calcutta. I have visited prisons where, as the air swept through the wicket, it almost knocked mj down. No sunlight. Young men who had committed their first crime crowded in among old offenders. I saw in one prison a woman, with a child almost blind, who had been arrested for the crime of poverty, who was waiting until the slow law could take her to the almshouse, wher6 she ' rightfully belonged; but she was thrust in there with her child amid the most abandoned wretcnes of the town. Many of the offenders ia that prison selpt on the floor, with nothing but a vermin-covered blanket over them. Those people crowded aud wan and wasted and half suffocatei and infuriated. I said to the men, "How do you stand it here?" "God know?," said one man, "we have to stand it." Oh, they will pay you when they get out. Where they burned down one house they will bum three. They will strike deeper the assassin's knife. They are this minute plot ting worse burglaries. Some of the city jails are the best places I know of to manufacture footpads, vaga bonds and cutthroat. Yale College, is not so well calculated to make scholars, nor Har vard so well calculated to make scientists, nor Trinceton so well calculated to make theologians, as many of our jails are calcu lated to make criminals. All that those men do not know of crime after they have been in that dungeon for 6oroe time, Satanic machination cannot teach them. In the in sufferable stench and sickening surroundings of such places there is nothing but disease for the body, idiocy for the mind, and death for the soul. Stifled air and darkness and vermin never turned a thief into an honest man. We want men like John Howard and Sir William Blackstone and women lite Eliza beth Fry to do for the prisons of the United States what those people did in other days for the prisons of England. I thank God for what Isaac T. Hopper and Dr. Wines and Mr. Harris and scores of others have done in the way of prison reform, but we want something more radical before wilt , come the blessing of him who said. "I was in prison, ana ye came unto me." Again, in your effort to arrest this plagus of crime you need to consider untrustworthy officials. "Woe unto thee, O land, when t'uy king is a child, and thy princes drink in the morning." It is a great cahiraity to a city when bed get into public authority. Why was it that in New York there was such unparalleled crime bstween 18rtG and 1871? It was because the judges of police in that city at that time for the most part were as corrupt as the vagabonds that came before them for trial. Those were the days of high carnival for election frauds, assassination and forgery. We had all kinds of rings. There was one man during those years that got one hundred and twenty-eight thousand dollars in one year for serving th3 public. It is no compliment to public authority when we have in all the cities of the country, 'walking abroad, men and women notorious for criminality unwbipped of justice. They are pointed out to you in the street day by day. There you find what are called the fences," the men who stand between the thief and the honest man, sheltering the thief, and at a great price handing over the coods to the owner to whom they Deionzed. There you will find those who are called tha "stunners, the men who hover around Wall street, with great sleight of hand in bonds and stocks. There you find the funeral thieves, the people who go and sit down and mourn with families and pi?k their pockets. And there you find the "confidence men." who borrow money of you because they have a dead child in the house and want to bury it, when they never had a house or family; or they want to go to England and get a large propsrty ther?, and they wans you to pay their way and they will send the money back by the very next mail. Th?re are the "harbor thieves." tli3 they keep moving around. They gee their food at house door?, stealing' what they can lay their hands on in the front basement while the servant is spreading the bread in' the back basement. They will not work. Time and again, in the country districts. they have wanted hundreds and thousands of laborers. These men will not go. They do not want to work. I have tried them. I have set them to sawing wood in my cellar to see whether they wanted to work. I of fered to pay them well for it. I have heard the saw going for about three minutes, and then I w eut down, and lo! the wood, but "no saw! They are the pest of society, and they stand in the way of the LordV poor who who ought to be helped, and must be helped, and will be hehied. While there "are thousands of industrious men who cannot get any work, thes? men , who do not want any work come in and make that plea. I am in favor of the res toration of the old fashioned whipping poe-t for just this one class of men who will not work sleeping at night at public ex pense in tne station bous; during the day getting tneir food at your doorstep. Im prisonment Joss not scare them. They would like it. Blackwelfs Island or Sing King would be a comfortable home for them. They would have ho objection to the alms house, for they like thin soup, if they can not get mock turtle. I proposj ths for them: On one side of them put some healthy work; on the other tide put a rawhiie, and let them take their choice. I hko for that class of people the scant bill of fare that Paul wrote out for the Thessalonian loafers, "If any work not, neither should he at." By what law of God or man is it right that you and I should toil day in and day out, until our hands arj blistered and our arms at gets numb, and tnen re called upon to sup port what in the United States are about two million loafers. Tney are a very danger ous class. Let the public authorities ke?p their eyes on them. Agah?, among tae uprooting classes I pla3 the oporessed poor. Poverty to a certain extent is chasteninr, but after that, when it drives a man to the wall, and he hears his children cry in vain for bread, it sometimes makes him desperate. I think that there ara thousands of honest men lacerated into vaga bondism. T. here are men crushel under burdens for which they are not half paid. I While there is no excuse for criminality, ' 1 even in oppression, I state it as a simple fact that much of the scouudrehsm of the com munity is consequent upon ill-treatm?nt. There ara many men and women battered and bruised and stung until the hour of de spair nas come, and they stand with the : ferocity of a wild beast which, pursued until it can run no loneer. turns round, foaming and bleeding, to fight the hounds. There is a vast underground New York j and Brooklyn Ufa that is appalling and shameful. It wallows and steams with putre- , faction. You go down the stairs, which are I wet and decayed with filth, and at the bot- ' torn you find the poor victims on the floor, cold, sick, three-foHrths dead, slinking iuto a still darker corner uuderthe gleam of the lantern of the police. There has not been a breath of fresh air in that room for five years, literally. The broken sewer empties its contents upon them, and they lie at night in the swimming filth. There they are, men. women, children; black, whites; Mary Mag dalen without her repentance, and L?zarus without his God. These are "the dives" into which the pickpockets and the thieves go. as well as a great many who would like a differ ent life but cannot get it. These places are the sores of the city, which bleed perpetual corruption. They are the underlying volcauo that threatens us with a Caraccas earthquake. It rolls and roars and surges and heaves and rocks and dying One of the cross ! Hare mercy on the jixrving. freezing, homeless poor of thes great cities ! I have preached this sermon for four or fire practical reasons: Because I want you to know who are the uprooting classes of societj. Because I want you to ba morw discriniinatinjr. in your charities. Because I want your hearty open with generosity, and your bands open with charity. Be cause I want you to be made the sworn friends of all city evangelization, and all tAM-knm Ia'Vi'ht Vttfk.1 flan A all children Ucniuvjs v.. - . aid societies, and Dorcas societies, under tne J skillful manipulation of wives and mothers ments of vour ward rot be fitted to the limbs of the wan and shivering.

That would be putting your garments to glorious uses. But more than that, I have preached the sermon because I thought in the contrast a iaa hnw vm-t kindlv Oal naa dealt with you, and I tnougat that inou- , sends of you would go xo your rouiiui homes and sit at your well-filled Ub'.es an I at the warm registers, and look at the round faces of your cmldren. and that then you would burst into tears at the review of Goi $ goodness to you. aud that you would go to your room and lock the door and kneel do wa and say: , "O Lord.

Hundreds of them with their laces in the Rogues' Gallery, yet do ing nothing for th last five or "ten years but defraud society and escape justice. Wh?n these people go unarrested and un punished it is putting a high premium upon vice and saying to the young crimin als of this country, "What a. safe vlnng it is to be a great criminal?'' Let -the law swoop upon them. Lt it be kno.vn in this country crime will have no quarter; that the detectives are after it: tnat the policb club is being brandished; that the i;oa door ot the prison is being opened; that the judge is ready to call on tha case. Too great leniency to criminals is too great ssverity to society. Again in ycur effort to arrest this plague of crime, you need to consider the idle popu lation. Of course I do not refer to people who are getting old, or to the sick or to those who cannot get work, but I tell you to look out for those athletic men and women who will not work. When the French nobleman was asked why he kept bu?y when he had so large a property, he said. "I keep on engrav ing so I may not hang mys?lf." I do not care who the man is, you cannot afford to be idle. It is from the idle classes that the criminal classes are made up. Character, like water, gets putrid if itstands still too long. Who ran wonder that in this world, where there is so much to do, and all the hosts of earth and heaven and hell are plunging into ths conflict and angels are fly ing and God is at work and the uuivei is a -qua lie witn t&3 marching and counter marching, that God lets His indignation fall upon a rnaa who chooses idleness. I have watched these do-nothings who spend their time stroking their beard and retouching their toilet and criticiing in dustrious people, and piss their days and rights in barrooms and crut nouses, loujg iag end smoking and chewiug and card playing. They are not only useless, but they are dangerous. How hard it is for them to while away the .hours! Alas, for them! If they do not know how to while away an hour, what will they do wheu they have all eternity on their bands? These men for a while smoke the best cigars and wear the best clothes and move in .the highest spheres, but I have noticed that very soon they comedown to the prison, 'the almshouse, or stop at the gallows. The police stations of this cluster of cities furnish annually between two and three hun dred thousand lodgings. For the most prt thes two and three hundred thousand lodg iegs are furnished to able bodied men aud women people as able to work as vou and I are. When they are received no longer at one police station because they are "repeat ers they go to sooie ether station ani so bJflSDherues aud dies, and there are only two outlets r&r It the polica court and the rot ter's field. In other words, they must either go to prison or to helL Oh, you nevr saw it, you say. You never will see it until era the day when those staggering wretches shall come up in the light of the judgment throne, and while nil hearts are being re vealed, Goi will ask you what you did to help them. Ihere is another layer of poverty and des titution not so squalid, but almosc as help less. You hear the incessant wailing for bread and clothes and fire. Their eyes are sunken. Their cheek bones stand out. Their hands are damp with 6low consumption. Their flesh is puffed up with dropsies. Their breath is like that of the charnel house. Thy hear the roar of the wheels of fashion overhead and the gay laughter of men and maidens and wonder why God gave to others so much and to them so littl?. Some of them thrust into an infidelity like that of the poor German girl who, when told in the midst of her wretchedness that God was jruod, 6aid : "Jo; no good God. Just look ut me. No good God." In this cluster of cities whose err of want I interpret there are said to be, as far as I can figure it uo from the reDorts. about three hundred thousand honest poor who are dependent upon individual, city and State charities. If all their voices could como up at once it would be a groan that would shake the foundations of the city and bring all earth and heaven to the rescue. But for tha most part it suffers unexpressed. It sits in silence gnashing its teeth and sucking the blood of its own arteri?s waiting for the judgment day. Oh, I should not wonder if on that day iz would be found out that FOtne of us had some thir.Tjs that belogeltothem, some extra garment which might have made them comfortable in cold days; some breal thrust into the ash barrel that mi ht have ap peased their hunger for a little while; some wasted candle or gas jet that might have kin- i died up their darkness; some fresco on the ' ceiling taat would have given them a roof; some jewel which, brought to that orphan ; girl in time, might have kept her from being crowded off the precipices to an unclean life; some New Testament that would have told them of Him who "came tosek that which was lost." Oh, this wave of vagrancy and hunger cnl nakedness that dashes against our front doorstep! If the roofs of all the housas of destitution could bs lifted so we could look down into them jut as God look?, whoss nerve3 would be strong enough to ftni it? And yet there they are. The fifty thousanl sewing women in these three cities, some of thetn in hunger and cold, workiug n'.ght after niht, until sometimes the bloo J spurts from nostril and lips. How well their grief was voiced by that despairing woman who stojd by her invalid , husband and invalid child, and said to the city missionary: "I am down heartei. Everything's a aint u; and then there are. other things.7 "What other things?" said the city missionary. "Oh." she replied, "mv sin." "What do you mean by that? Well,H she said. ! never hear or see anything good. It's work from Monday morning till Satur day night, and then when Sunday comes I can't go out, and I walk the floor, and it makes me tremble to think that I have got to meet Goi. Oh. sir, it's so hard for us. We have to work so. and then we have so much trouble, and then we are gettiug along so poorly; and see this wee little thing grow ing weaker and weaker; and then V think we are not getting nearer to God, but float ing away from Him. Oh, sir, I do wish 1 was ready to die." I should not wonder if thy had a good deal better time than we in the future, to make up for the fact that they bad such a bad time here. It would b just like Jesus to say : "Come up and take the highest seats. You suffered with Me on earth; now t g. or ill ad with Me in heaven."'
