Ga, my friends, there hiss never been
such nefarious plot on -earta as thst
which infdelity and atheism have planned.
We were shocked few years sgo be-
csuse Of the attempt to blow ~ the Par
lament houses in London; but II inf EEL
ity and atheism succeed in their sttemp I,
they will dynamite world. Let them
nave their full way, and this world will be
hsbitasion of three rooms habitation
with Just three rooms; the one O mad
house, another . lazaretto, the other
pandemonium. These iDfidel ban Ia OF
music have only just begun their concert
yea, they have only been stringing their
instruments. to-day put before you
their whole programme from beginning
unto close. In the theatre the tragedy
comes first aud the farce after ward; bus
in this inAdel drama of death the
farce comes first and the tragedy after
ward. And in the former atheists and In
fdels laugh and mock, but in the latter
God Himself will laugh and mock. He
says so. "I will laugh at their calamity
and mock when their fesr cometh."
From such chssm Of individual, na-
tional, world wide ruin, stand back. Oh,
Young men, stand back from that 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 lyou and may
not live to sac IL, but it will come, just as
certainly as there is God, 1t will Gomez
when the iDfdels and atheists who openly
and out and out and above board preach
snd practice Iafidslisy and Atheism Will
be considered as criminals against soci-
ETY., as they are nov criminals sgainst
God. Society will push out the leper,
and the wretch with soul gan
grened and ichorous and YER
min-covered and rostiDg apart with
his bestisiity, will be lefs 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 the funeral sermon
will be Jeremiah xxi: 10: "He shsll be
buried with the burial OF an ass"
A thousand voices come up to me this
morning saying: "Do you really think
infidellty will succeed? Hss Christianity
its death blow? and will the
Bible become obsolete?" Yes, when the
smoke Of the city chimney arrests and
destroys the MONDAY sun. Josepaus
says about the time of the destruction of
Jerusalem the sun was turned into dark
ness; but only the clouds rolled between
the sun aud the earth. Tne sun went right
on. 1t is the same su3, the same lumi
nary as when St The beginning it shot out
like
AN RLKcTRIC SPARK
from Gods finger, and today 1t Is warm
Ing the nations, and TO day 1t is gliding
with light. The same old sun, not at all

At the beginning God ssid: "Let

nations, and all nations are to bssk In its
light. Men may shut the vindow-b blinds

The pipe Of speculation until they are
Swallowed under their own vaporing; but
