The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-05-14

aries first came. Can home the five hun
dred missionaries from India and
overthrow their two thousand schools,
where they are trying to educate
the heathen, and scatter the
one hundred and forty thousand little chill
dren that they have gathered out of bar
barism into civilization. Obliterate all the
work of DR.. Duff in India, of David Abeel
in China, of DR.. King in Greece, of Judson
in Burmah, of David Brainard amid the
American aborigines, and send home the
three thousand missionaries of the cross
who are toiling in foreign lands, toiling for
Chrlst'S sake, toiling themselves into the
grave. Tell these three thousand men of
God that they are of no use. Send home
the medical missionaries who are doctoring
the bodies as well as the souls of the dying
nations Go home, London Missionary So
ciety. Go home, American Board of For
eign Missions. Go home, ye Moravlans,
and relinquish back into darkness and
squalor and filth and death the nations
whom We have begun to lift.
Oh, my friends, there has never been such
n nefarous plot on earth as that which in
fidelity and atheism has planned. We were
shocked few years ago because of the at
tempt to blow up the Parliament Houses in
London; but if infidelity and atheism sue
ceed il their attempt, they will dynamite
world. Let them have their full way, and
this world will he n habitation of three
rooms-a habitatiou with lust three rooms
the one a mad-house, another lazzaretto,
tho other a pandemonum. These intidel
bands of music have only just begun their
concert-yea, they have only been stringing
their whole programme from beginning
unto close In the theater the tragedy
comes first and the farce afgerward, bus III
this intidel drama of death the farce comes
first and the tragedy afterward. And in
tho former atheists and infdels laugh and
mock, but in the latter God himself will
laugh and mC ok He says So 81 will
laugh at their calamity and mock when
their fear cometh.h
From such a chasm of individual, ma
tional, worldwide ruin, stand back Oh,
young men, stand back from that chasIn !
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 GER
tainly as there is a God, il will GOMEZ when
the infldels and the atheists who openly and
and out and out and above board preach
and practice infidelity and atheism will be
considered as criminals against Society, as
they are now criminals against God. So
ciety will push out the leper. and the wretch
with soul grangrened and ichorous and YER
min-covered and rotting apart with his bes-
tiality 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
1t falls, that 1t poison not the air, and the
only text in all the Bible appropriate for
tho funeral sermon will be jeremiah xxi ,
10: HE shall be buried with the burial of
an ass.n
A thousand voices come up to me this
morning saying: "Do you really think in
fHaItty ,syil curnoaa12 nao
ceived its death blow9 and will the Bible
| become obsoleteP Yes, when the smoke OF
| the city 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. IL is the same sun,
the same luminary as when at the begin
ming it shot out like an electric spark from
! Gods finger, and to-day IL is warming the
nations, and to-day it is gliding the sea,
| and to-day it is filling the earth with light
| Tho same old sun, not at all worn ont,
though its light steps one hundred and
ninety million miles IA second though its
| pulsations are four hundred and fifty trill-
ION undul1tions in a second Same sun
with beautiful white light made up Of the
violet and the indigo and the blue and the
green and the red and the yellow and the
orange-the seven beautiful colors now just
as when the solar spectrum first divided
them
At the beginning God said "Let there
be light" and light was, and light is, and
light shall be So Christianity is rolling
ON, and it is going to warm all nations, and
all nations are TO bask in its light. Men
may shut the window blinds SO they cannot
see it, or they may smoke the pipe Of specu-
lation until they are shadowed under their
own vaporing, but the Lord God is a SUI
This white hight Of the gospel made up of
all the beautiful colors OF earth and heaven
violet plucked from amid tine spring grass,
and the indigo of the Southern jungles,
and the blue of the skies, and the green Of
the foliage, and the yellow OF tho autumnal
woods, and the orange Of the Southern
groves, and the red Of the sunsets. All the
beauties of earth and heaven brought out
by t is spiritual spectrum. 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 will take
all Asia for God. All three Of them will
take Africa for God. "Who art thou, oh
great mountaInsl before Zerubbabel thou
shalt become a plain" The mouth Of the
Lord hath spoken it. HalleluJah, amenI
