Talmage ON Drinkers-Frightfnl Prose
poets for the Tipplers of His Church.
The great Tabernacle crowded yesterday
morning, as usual. Mr.. Tamage preached thrill.
ing sermon on the SORROWS and doom OF the drunk
ard as sequel to the discourse on the previous
Sabbath which was devoted to the womens war on
whiskey. In making his announcements yesterday
Mr. Talmage gave notice that on Sunday morning,
April 5, he would baptize, by immersion, such per-
sons mad expressed their preference for that
mode OF baptism. In the Presbyterian Church the
ordinary mode was by sprinkling; but he did not
feel 1t worth while in collision with The con-
sciences OF those who preferred the other mode.
bAptistry would, therefore, De placed in the Tab
ernacle during this week.
rne text OF the sermon was, "Who slew all
these ~ which referred to the staying OF the sew
enty children OF Ahab py order OF King Jehu. The
heads OF the slain princes were thrown into two
heaps. one on either side the gate OF the
Kings palace. Well, SAID the preacher, we have
lived to see
A MORE FEARFUL MASSACRE
than that. Intemperance has sain an innumera-
bic company OF princes, the children OF Gods royal
family, and at the gate OF the Church there are
/ two heaps of the slain and at the door OF the
household there are two heaps of the slan and at
the door of the legislative hall there are two heaps
OF the slain and at the door OF the university two
heaps OF the slain, and at the gate OF this nation
two heaps OF the SLAIN And when l look upon the
| desolation l am almost frantic with the scene,
while cry, ''Who slew all these?" can answer
! it in half minute. The ministers OF Christ VINO
have given warning; the courts OF law that
have offered the license; the women who give
strong drink on New Years Day; the fathers and
mothers who have rum on the sldeooard; hun
/ dreds OF thousands OF Carstian men aud women
in the land who are stoiid In Indifference. They
| slew all these
| In considering his subject rhe preacher said that
the first suaerIng of the drnnkard was IN the loss
oil his good name. Now, God mad arranged il
( that ever lost hls good name except
through his own hand; but when it was said OF "a
man that he drank, ana it was proven, what store
/ wanted him Tor clerk WHAT church wanted
hin Tor a memoer2
VINO would TRUST HIMg
He was blasted. There were young men present
who mad their good name as their only capital, and
when young man lost his reputation Tor soDriety
he night as well be at the bottom OF the sea. DO
not, therefore, create any suspicion by rushing IN
ana out OF uor establishments or by any Odor of
the BREATH or by any unnatural flush oil the cneek,
or by any glare OF the eye, Tor when their good
name was blasted by the reputation OF taking
strong drinks IL was gone.
Another loss which the inebriate suffered is that
OF sel,-respect Just as soon as ne woke up and
ne IA
! felt bemeaned, no matter how reckless he acted.
lie could not look pure man in the eye, unless it
Three-fourths OF his nature was destroyed. When
man was nlne-tentbs gone with drink the first
thing he wanted To do was to persuade other peo
pie that he could stop any time ne wanted TO.
He could not. The Phiistines mad bound HIM hand
and loot, and snOrn his locks and put out his eyes,
and were making MIN
GRIND IN HE MILL OF A GREAT HORROR.
The lnebrlate also suffered from the loss OF his
usefulness. Many or those wno were now cap
uves OF strong drink only a little while ago were
foremost ii churches and IN reormatory Institu-
tons, and sometimes they knet IN the family
circle. and sometimes they prayed lii public, and
sometimes they carried around the molly VINE on
sacramental days. They naa greatly laiien away,
however and what must be their feelings when
they thought OF what they once were and were
nOwY
Another loss Of the irunkard was that OF physi-
cal health, and in this connection Mr.. iamage
pictured the death OF a man III delirium tremens
The thrilling recital created profound sensation
and when ne mad concluded deep unbroken 81
lence prevailed throughout the vast AUDITORY. Mr.
Tamage that that was the death some OF
those present were going to die He knew 1t. He
saw the day coming.
The loss Of home and the loss OF the soul were
next considered. While the Bible did not exactly
say so, 1t lntimated that IN the uture world, If
were uniorgiven here, our bad PASSIONS and appe-
tltes unrestrained would go along with US and
make our torment there. So lie supposed that
when the inebriate woke up In the last world,
1t would be with an infinite thirst ciawing on
him. 1t would notbe the absence of God or the
absence OF light or the absence OF holiness that
would make

there. II would be the absence o. RUM
In view Of the great evil OF ntemperance IN the
community Mr.. famage was IN avOr OF all or
CARNATIONS TO suppress IT. He was IN favor OF
the women's movement. j really think, SAID he,
