oh, my friends, there has never been
such nefarious plot on earth as that
which infidelity and atheism have planned.
We were shocked few years ago because
of the attempt to blow up the Parliament
Houses in London; but If intidelitv and
atheism succeed in their attempt they will
dynamite world. Let them have their
full way aud this werld will be habita-
tion of three rooms-a hahitation with just
three room: the one madhouse, another
q lazaretto, the other q pandemonium.
These infidel bands of music have only
just begun their concert-yea, they have
only been stringing their instruments. /
to-day put before you their program from
beginning unto close. In the theater the
tragedy comes first and the farce after
whrd; but in this infdel drama of death the
farce comes first and the tragedy afterward.
And in the former atheists and infidels
laugh and mock, but in the latter God him
self will laugh and mock. He says so. II
will laugh at their calamity and mock when
their fear coineth."
From such chasm of individual, M.
tional, worldwide ruin, stand back. oh,
young men, stand back from that chasm!
You see the practical drift of my sermon.
want yon to know whore the road leads.
Stand back from the chasm of ruin. The
time is going to come lyon and may not
live to see it, but it will come, just az GER
tainly as there is God, it will Gomez When
the infidels and the atheists who openly
and out and out and above board preach
and practice infde!ity and atheism will be
considered as criminals against society, as
they are now criminals against God. So.
ciety will push out the lcper, and the
wretch with soul grangrened. and ichorous
and vermin covered and retting apart with
his bestiality, will be lef. to die in the
ditch, and be denied decent burial, and
men will come with spades and cover up
the carcass, whore it falls, that it poison
not the air, and the only text in I'LL the
Bible appropriate for the funeral sermon
will be Jeremiah xii, 10: "He shall be
buried with the burial of an ass"
A thousand voices come up to me this
fidelity will succeed? Has Christianity re-
ceived it's death blow? and will the Bible
become obsolete?" 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. It is the
same sun, the same luminary as when at
the beginning it shot out like an electric
spark from Gods finger, and to-day it is
warming the nations, and to-day it is gild-
ing the sea, and to-day tits filling the earth
all worn out, though its light steps one
hundred and ninety million miles second.
though its pulsations arc four hundred and
fifty trillion undulations in 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 di-
vided them. -"
At the beginning God said: sLet there
be light, and light was, and light 10, and
light shall be. So Christianity is rolling.

all nations are TO bask in its light. Men
may shut the window blinds so they can
not see it. or they may smoke the pipe Of
speculation until they are shadowed under
their own vaporing; but the Lord God is q
sun! This white light Of the Gospel, made
up of oil the beautiful colors Of earth and
Heaven, violet plucked from amid the
spring grass, and the indigo of the South
ern jungles and the blue Of the skies, and
the green of the foliage, and the yellow of
the autumnal woods, and the orange of the
Southern groves, and the red of the SUM-

Heaven brought out by this 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
