toiling themselves into the grave. Tel
these three thousand men of God thcs
they are of no use. Send home tha
medical missionaries who are doctoring
the bodies well as the souls of the dy-
ing nations. Go home, London Missionary
Society. Go home, American Board OF
Foreign Missions. Go home, We Nora
vians, and relinquish back into darkness,
and squalor, and filth, and death the ma
tlons whom ye have begun to lift.
Oh, my friends, there has never been
such a nefarlous plot on earth as that
which inhdelity and atheism have
planned. We were shocked a few years
ago because of the attempt to blow up the
Parliament houses in London; but If in
fidelity and atheism succeed in their at
tempt, they win dynamite the world. Let
them have their full sway, and this world
will be a habitation of three rooms-a
habitation with just three rooms; the one
a mad-hOuse, another lazaretto, tho
other a pandemoniUm. These infdel
bands of music have only just begun
their coneert-vea, they have only been
stringing their instruments. l to-day put
before you their whole programme, from
beginning unto close. In the theater tho
tragedy comes first and the farce after
ward, but in this infidel drama of death
the farce comes first and the tragedy after
ward. And in the former atheists and
infidels laugh and mock, but in the latter
God himself will laugh and mock. He
says so.
/ win laugh at their calamity and mock when
! their fear cometh
From such a chasm of individual,
national, worldwide ruin, stand back. Oh,
| Young men, stand back from that chHsm!
| You see the practical drift of my sermon.
/ 1 want you to know where that road leads.

! live to see it. but il will come, just as cer~
tainly as there is a God, it will cCmc)
| when the infdels and the atheists who
| openly and out and out and above board
| preach and practice infdelity and atheism
| will be considered as criminals against
| society, as they are now criminals against
God Society will push out the leper, and
the wretch with soul gangrened and
icborous and vermin- covered and rotting
apart with his bestiality, will be left to
die in the ditch and be denied decent
burial, and men will come with spades
and cover up the carcass where il falls,
that it poison not the air, and the only
text in all the Bible appropriate for the
funeral sermon will be Jeremiah xii, 19;
He shall be buried with the burial OF an ass.
A thousand voices come up to me thi S
morning saying; "Do you really think in
fidelity will succeed? Has Christianity
received its death blow? and will the Bible
become obsolete2" Yes, when the smoke
of the chimney arrests and destroys the
MONDAY sun. JOsephus says about the
time of the destruction of Jerusalem the
sun was turned into darkness; but only
the clouds rolled between the sun and the
, earth. The sun went right on. II
is the same sun, the same lumina-
ry as when at the beginning it shot
