slaughter of Young Men. 81

This was the theme of recent SER
mon by Rev T. De Witt Tafmage. We
quote a paragraph:
But / think more. young men are
slaughtered through irreligion. If you
can only get his religion away from
the young man, you can make him the
prey of sll evil. We all know that the
Bible is the only perfect system OF
morals. Now, to destroy that young
man you must first get his Bible away
from him. First try to laugh him out
of his reverance for the Scriptures
Take all those incidents of script re
that can be made mirth of-Jonah's
whale, Sampsons's foxes, Adams ex-
tracted rib-then characature eccentric
or inconsistent christians. Then pass
of upon him as original with yourself
those hackneyed arguments against
Christianity which are as old as sin.
Now he has surrendered the Bible, Ou
have taken the strongest fOrtitica H..
The rest of the work is comparativ ly
easy. All the gates of his soul are now
open inviting all the sins of earth and
the SORROWS of eternal death to come in
and drive the stakes for their encamp-
ment. A steamer fifteen hundred miles
from shore, with her rudder broken and
the compass lost, and the hulk leaking
fifty gallons the hour, is better off than
a young mans morals after he has cut
loose from his Bible. Have you noticed
how despicable work 1t is to take
away mans religion without Offering
him substitute. 1t is mcaner busi-
ness than to come to sick mad and
steal his medicines, to blind man and
steal his dog, to a cripple and steal his
erutch, to a pauper aud steal his crust,
to poor man and burn down his home.
1t is the bAsest of all larceny to attempt
TO steal the worlds Bible, which has
been to so many medicine, and crutch,
and food, and shelter, and home. Stop
thief! stop thief Generous and mag
nificent business infidelity has gone
into-this splitting up of life-boats and
tearing down of escape-ladders and ex-
tingnishment of lighthouses. | come
out to say to them, "What are you doing
all this for % They answer "Just for
fun. 1t makes us laugh to see people
trying to hold on to their Bible. They
have believed in the resurrection Of
their beloved dead. 1t is such fun to
SHOW tlCtu tuCtO Will OC hO
ton. They have believed that Christ
came to carry the burdens and heal the
wounds of the world. 1t is such tip-top
fun 10 tell them every man must be his
own saviour" My hearers think of the
basest, meanest thing that you ever
heard of, and then go down thousand
feet beneath that, and there you will
find yourself at the head of stairs a
hundred miles long, and having de-
scended to the bottom of that stairs you
will find ladder thousand miles
long; take that down to its foot, and
then look off a precipice half as deep as
from here TO China and you will find
the headquarters of the meanness that
would rob the world of its only hope OF
Immortality. Slaughter young mans
religious belief, and there is not much
more left to slaughter.

A Russian Officers Idea OF
Honor.
From the London Telegraph.

TOii tuc l%OiuOu 1ClcSidpus
Another strange story illustrative Of
the extraordinary eccentricities for
which Russian military officers of late
wears have rendered themselves un-
pleasantly notorious, comes from st,
Petersburg. 1t appears that on the
18th ult. lady of rank was travelling
Oh the Fastovo line of railway in first
class compartment, the only other 0ccu-
pant of which was an elderly cavalry
captain, with whom she casually en-
tered into conversation. Arrived at the
Ustinovka station she summoned gen.
darme and informed him that she miss
ed 160 rubles from her hand bag, and
suspected her travelling companion of
having. stolen them. A few minutes
previously she had requested him to
take her ticket out of the bag which he
had done, and siuce that time she had
discovered her loss. Search was forth
with instituted upon the captains per-
son for the missing money, and hum
dred rouble note was found thrust into
one of his boots. No sooner had this
evidence of his guilt been brought to
light tEan he produced small parcel
of bank notes from his pocket with the
remark, "As you have got the hundred
rubles, may as well give you the other
sixty" Directly AFTER he had spoken
he drew revolver, placed its muzzle
against his right temple and blew his
brains out Insensible to the dlshonor
of theft, that of detection seemed to him
so insupportable that, rather than en-
dure it he died by his own hand.
