THE GATES A.JAR
And Talmage Takes a Peep.

National Associated Press to the Star.
BROOKLYN, Oct. 2S--Mr Talmage con-
tinued his series of sermons on the wicked
ness of New York yesterday before an au-
dience that filled all the available space in
Brooklyn Tabernacle. There was an un-
usually large number of ladies present and
eager to her the discourse. Talmage de-
scribed the four gales of hell, through
which he took peep. He said at the
gambling houses night business don't COM
mence actively till the theaters let out.
Some of the frequenters were men who had
served in State prisons, some were bankers
and ship brokers, and some were going
the first rounds of their vicious career.
In gambling processes 1923, 100000, 900
changed hands every year. The first gate
of hell, Tamage said, was bad literature
Anthony Comstock had seized twenty tons
of bad literature, yet not all was gripped by
the law Parlors and libraries were full of
it, and children retire and read it with the
gas jet burning near their pillows. 1t ex-
lists under the title of scientific information
and under this guise one vender in single
hotel disposed of hundreds of copies of an
infamous book, selling them all to women.
AS for novelettes no lady who reads them
could keep either integrity or virtue. He
pursued pleasantly: One hundred thousand
men and women,in 'he United States o-day
are reading themselves in hell. The lepIous
booksellers had gathered up catalogues of
girls seminaries and of boys schools and
sent their circulars of death to everyone,
without exception. Gate second was the
dissolute dance. He said there was disso-
lutte dance which was pursued both in the
haunts of death and elegant mansions.
"You know" he said, "what posures
and motions are suggested by the devil"
Hecontinued, that the dissolute dancer slid
in'o dissolute dance over an inclined plane
swifter and swifter and wilder and wilder
until, with the speed of light, he whistled
off the edge of a dissolute life into fiery
future. No one had right to take a posi-
ZION to music which he would be ashamed
to take without music"
Gate Third-"Indiscree apparel" Tai
mage had been told that there was new
fashion coming from Paris which was shock
ing 10 all righteousness. MultiIudes of men
owed their eternal damnation TO the bold
ness of female attire.
Gate Fourth-"A Alcoholic beverage" The
captive of the wine cup was also the captive
of all other vices, which went in flocks. like
carrion crows, so that when you saw that
beak ahead you might know that other
beaks were coming. Courts and Legislatures
swing wide open this creaking stupendous
gate of The last. In the coming war to be
waged against the gates of hell, Talmage
said the Christian press was to be the bat
tering ram; that pulpits were to be ar
ranged in a storming line. and that Goods
red hot truth was to be the flying ammuni-
ton of the conteSt.'
