MAKISG DEvIsEs OF THE WORLD.
Louisville Commercial
DIR. Eaton delivered n sermon at
the Walnut street Baptist church
last evening on the prevailing vices
of the times, basing his remarks on
the thirty-frst verse of the eighth
chapter Of Luke. The divine pre-
faced his sermon by reading ex-
tracts from the eighth chapters OF
Matthew and Luke In which refer
ence is made to the demoniacal men
and the swine. After Christ had
cast the devils ont of tho men into
the swine the animals ran down a
steep hill iuto the sea and were
drowned. The Gadaseans, the own
ers Of the swine, dlsmayed at the
loss of their herd, went to Christ
aud besOught him to depart from
them. They were fearful that he
would be the cause of losing to them
all their swine if allowed 70 remain,
and they regarded their hogs Of
more value than human lives and
souls, and preferred their swine to
tho presence of Christ. Jesus obey
ell their requestand never returned.
The swine, the speaker said,
typifes the sins IF the present age
There ars Gadascans in this day
and generation, although their pc
culiar sins are different from those
Of Olden times. We now have no
demouiacal affections or leProsy that
was common in those days, but we
have other sins that are equally as
great and that require the healing
presence of Christ. AT no time in
the history of the world has the
love of money been the root of more
evil than now. Authorizations OF

tent IN order that money may be
