\ WOES OF DRUNKARDS. Rev. Dr. Talmage's Strong Denunciation of the Evils of Intemperance. Worse Than Any of the Ten Plagues That Befell EgyptIts Victims Are Countless- - It Biteth Like a SerpentGod's Grace the Sure Remedy. Washington, April 80. At this time, whon tho evil* of the drink traffic are bit- ing widely discussed and tin- inovninent for the abolition of tho degrading and brutalizing canteeu In our military cam|Mi Is gaining many supporters, this rrinon by Dr. Talniage, dealing with the briMuler anpeot* of the plague of Intero- peranne, hould cheer and Inspire the friend* of tempei'anoa everywhere. HI* text i Kcodu* 11. 6, "And there shall be a great cry throughout all tbe land of Igypt." Tuls wa* the worst of the ten plague*. The destroying angel at midnight flapped hi* wing over the land, and there was one dnad In each house. Lamentation and mourning and woe through all Egypt. That destroying angei has fled the earth, but a far worse ha* tome. He sweeps through the** cities. It ii tho destroying angel of strong drink. Far worse devaxta- tlon wrought by this woond than by the first. The calamity In America worse than the <vUamltr In Kgypt. Thousands of tho aialn, millions of the slain. No arithmetic can calculate their number. Onoe upon a time four fiend* met In the lost world. They resolved that the people of our earth were too happy, and those four Infernals eame forth to our earth on embmsy of mischief. Th* one flnd said, "I'll take charge of the vine- yards." Another said. "I'll take charge f the gralnflelds. " Another said, "I'll take cbargo of the dnlry. " Another (aid. "I'll take charge of the music. " Tbe four flend* met In th gmat Sahara desert, with skeleton fingers clutched each other In handchake of fidelity, klseed each other guotltiy with Up of blue Oam* end parted an thnlr minion. The flend of the vim-yard aarne In one bright morning amid the grape* and *at down on a root of twisted grapevine In hoer discouragement. Tbe flend knew not how to damage the vineyard or, through It, how to daraag* the world. The grapes were so ripe and beautiful and luscious! They bewitched the air with their iwootnea*. There aanmed to be en much health In every bunohl And while tbe flend sat there In utter Indigna- tion and disappointment he nlutahod a cluster and K]ue7.<i it in perfect spite, and, lo. hi* hand wa* red with th* blnod f the vineyard, and the llend *r.ld: "That remind* me of the blood of broken fcnart*. I'll strip the vineyard, and I'll equine out nil thn juice of the grape*. and I'll allow the juice* of the grape* to stand until thnv rot, and I'll call the pro- e** fermentation. " And there was a great vat pn^mnvi. and pmple citine with thMr ciifw nnd thnlr -pitchers, nnd they i|.il up Mm blood of the grarn**, nnd they drank nnd drank and went awar drinking, ami ilipy drank until they fnll In loug linns of dmth. so that when th* fl'-n 1 of the vltioynrd wanted to return to hu home In tho pit he ntcpped from car- oass to onrrtiiss anil witlkixl down amid a gmnt oauAHway of Mio dend.

Hern't to woe and darknos* nd murder nnd duathl Drink! Drink!" Hut, whethor by allegory or by appall- ing nUttlitlo* this subject I* presented, you know as well a* I that It I* Impos- sible to exaggerate tbe evil* of strong drink. A plague! A plague! In tbe flnt place, the inebriate suffers from the Ion of a good name. God ha* no arranged It that no man lo*e* hi* reputation except by his own act. The world may assault a man and all the power* of darknem may assault him they cannot capture him so long a* his heart U pure and his life U pure. All the powers of earth and hell cannot take that Gibraltar. If a man Is right, all the bombardment of the world for ft, 10, 20, 40 year* will only strengthen him In hi* position. So that all you have to do Is to keep yourself right. Nnver mind the world. Let It say what It wllL It can do yon no damage. But a* soon as It I* whispered. "He drink*," and It can be proved, he begins to go down. What clerk can get a position with *uob a repu- tation? What store want* him* What church of God want* him for a member? What dying man wants him for an exe- cutor? "He drinks!" I stand before hun- dreds of young men and I ay It not In flattry splsndld young men, who hav* tholr reputation as their only capital. Your fathor gave you a good education r a* good an education a* ho could afford to give you. He *tari*l you in city life. H* could furnish you no mean*, but h* ha* surrounded yon with Chrlitlan influ- ence* and a good memory of tbe past. Now, yonng man, under God you or* with your own right arm to achieve your fortune, and as your reputation U yoiir only capital do not bring upon It suspi- cion by going In and out of liquor eetab- lishinents or by an odor of your breath or by any glare of your eye or by any unnatural flush on your cheek*. You lot* your reputation and yon lose your capital. Tbo Lou of Hlf K.ip.n The Inebriate luffers also In th* fact that he lose* hi* wlf respect, and when you destroy a man's *elf respect there I* not much loft of him. Then a man will do thing* he would not do otherwlM, b* will say thing* h* would not *ay other- wise. The fact U. that man cannot *top, or he would stop now. He 1* bound hand and foot by tbe Fbllstlne*. and they hav* shorn his look* and put his eye* out and nuulo him grind In the mill of a gmat h->rror. After he 1* three-fourth* gone In thU slavery, the first thing h* will b* anxious to linprns* yon with Is that h* cun stop at any time he want* to.

Again, the man suffers from the low of usefulness. Do yon know tome of the men who have fallen Into the dltoh ware imi-e In the front rnnk In churr.he* and la tbe front rank In reformatory Institu- tion*? Do you know they once knelt at tin- family altnr nnd once carried th* chalice of the holy i-ommnnlon on sacra- mental days? Do you know they onot Htood In th* pulpit and preached the goHpel of the Kon of find? Wo will not forget the scono wlt.np<ised *ome year* ago in my Hronklvn church when man ro** In th* midst of the audience, stepped Int* th* aisle and walked up and down. Kvcrybody saw that h* wa* Intoxicated. The ushers led him out, and his poor wife took nil hnt. and overcoat and fol- lowed him to tho door. Who wa* hef H* biul nun- boen a mighty minister of th* gi>N|N>l of Josu* Christ In sister denom- ination, had often preached In thi* very city. What clew him? Strong drink! Oh. what must bo the fueling of a man who has destroyed his capacity for usefulness? Do not be angry with that man. Do not IOIM your patlonce with him. Do not wonder If ho says strange things and get* IrrltaUtd easily lu the family. He ha* the Pyrenees anil tho Andes and tho Alp* on him. Do not try to pnrsuade him that there I* no future punishment. Do not go Into any argument, to prove to him that thore Is no hell He knows there la H* Is there now I But he suffan also In the low of phy*l oal health. The older people In this audi- ence oan remember Dr. Swvell going through thi* country electrifying great audience* by demonstrating to them the offcot of stniiin drink upon the human Hiomaoh. I am told h* had elfrht or ten iluigram* which he prcuwnted to th* peo- plo, showing the different itage* In th* program of th* dim-as*, and I am told ICIIM of thousands of peopl* turned back from that ulcerous sketch and swore olernnl abstinence from all Intoxicant*.
