Go home, London Missionary Society.
Go home, American Board of Foreign Mis-
sious Go home, ye MoravianF, and relin-
quish back into darkness and squslor and
filth and death the nations whom ye have
begun to lift
Oh, my friends, there has never been
such a uetarious plot On earth a. that which
Infdelity and Atheism have planned. We
were shocked few years ago because oil
the attempt to blow up the Parliament
Houses in London; but il lnhdellty and
Atheism succeed IN their attempt, they
will dynamite world. Let them have
their full way, aud this world will be a
hsbitatiOn of three rOOms-a habitaton
with Just three looms: the one mad
house, another a lazlretto, the other a
pandemonium. These iniiiel bands Of
music have only ust begun their concert
yea, they have Oaly been stringing their
instruments To day pat before you
their whole programme from beginning un-
to close In the theatre the tragedy comes
first and the farce afierward; but in
THIS lNFIDEL DRAMA
of death the farce cones first and the
tragedy afterwari. And in the former
atheists and Infidels laugh and mock, bat
in the Latter GUd Himself will laugh and
mock. He says 30. Il will langh at
Aheir calamity and mock when their fear
cOmeth."
From such a chasm of individual, ma
tional, worldwide ruin, stand back. Oh,
Young man, stand back from thRt chasm
You see the practical drift of my sermon.
| want You to know where that road leads
Stand back from that Chasm OF ruin. The
time is going to come (yOu and | may not
live to see it, but it will come, Just as
certainly az there is a God, it will come
when the intidels and atheists who openly
and ont and out and above board preach
and practice Inliielity and Atheism VIII
be cons dered rs criminals against sOriety,
as they are now criminals against God.
Society will push ont the lepar, and the
wretch with soul grangrened and
ichOrOus and vermin covered and
rotting apart with his beistiality, will be
left to die in the ditch, and he denied de
cent burial, and men will come with spades
and cover up the carcass, where 1t falls,

4 thousand vote cCme mp to NE this
morning saying: "Do you really think In
fidelity will succeed? HGs Christianity re
ceived its death hlOw? aud will the 8.hIe
become ohsnlct,?" Yes, when the smoke
of the city chimney arrests and destroys
the MONDAY sun. Jnscphus nays about
the time uf the destruction Of Jerusalem
the SUI was turned into darkness but only
THE CLOUDS BOILED BETWEEN
the sun and the earth. The sun went right
on. II is the same sun, the same lumi-
nary ss when at the beginning il shot ont
like an electric spark from Gods finger, ard
to-day il is warming the nations and to-
day il is gliding the sea, and to-day 1t If
filling the earth with light. The same old
sun, not at all worn cut, though its Ignt
steps one hundred and ninety million
miles Il second, though its pulsatiOna are
four hundred and fifty trilliOn undulationS
in a second Same Run with beautiful
white light made up of the vio'e. and the
indigo and the blue and the green and the
red and the ycllow and the orange-the
seven beautiful cOlOrs now iust as when
the solar spectrum first divided them.
At the beginning God said: Let there
be lrht." and light WAS, and light is, AMI
light shall be- So Christianity is rolling
on, and il is going to warm all nations,
and all nations are 10 hask in It's light.
Men nav shat the window blinds ~ they
cannot gee it, or they may smoke the pipe
of speculation until they are shgfOwed
under ,hcir own yaporlng; but the Lord
God is n sun. This white light OF the
Gospel made up of ali the beautiful col0rs ot
earth and hcaven--viOlet pluchcd from
amid the spring grass, and the iaiigD ot the
southera uDglcs, and the blue Of thr skies,
aud the green of the foliage, and the yell
low of the autumnal woods, and the or
ange of the southern groves, ami the red
of the sunsets. All the beauties of earth
and heaven brought ont by this spiritual
sDeCtrum. Great Britain is going to take
all Europe for God The United States
are going to take all America for God.
Both of them together viii take all A-ia
for God. All three of them will take Airi-
"a for God. "Who art thou, oh great
mountain? before Xarubbabel thou shalt
become plain" The mouth OF the Lord
hath spoken it. IIall.luiah, amen
