BROOKLYN, June l7.-Rey. In TaInagc,
who Is now on his round tho world jour
ney, has selected as the subject for his ser
mon through the ppss today Another
| Chance, 4" the text being taken from Eccle-
\ siastes ri. 8, "lf the tree fall toward the
| south or toward the north, in the place
/ where the tree falleth there IL shall be
There is a lowering hope In the minds
| of "a vast multitude that there VIII Do an
opportunity In the next world to correct
| tho mistakes Of this; that II we do make
! s,mplets shipwreck of our earthly lie it
will be ON a shore, up which We may walk
TO a palace; that as u defendant may lose
his case in the circuit court ami carry II
up to the supreme court or court OF chan
cery and get reversal Of Judgment in his
behalf, all the costs being thrown over on
the other party, 50 II we fall in the earthly
trial We may In the higher jurisdiction Of
eternity have the Judgment " the lower
court set aside all the costs RENTED, and
we may be victorious defendants forever.
Ny object IN this sermon Is TO show that
common sense as well as my text declares
that such an expectation Is chimoical.
You say that the impenitent man, having
got into the next world and seeing the dis
aster, will, as result of that disaster,
turn, the pain the cause Of his reforma-
ton But you can find 10, 600 instances
In this world OF men who have done wrong
and distress overlook thcm suddenly. Did
the distress heal thems No. They went
right ON.
The Course of Disease.
That man was flung Of designations.
"You must stop drinking" said the doc
tor, land quit the fust life you are lead
ing, or 1t will destroy you" The patient
suffers paroxysm after paroKysm, but un-
der skillful medical treatment he begins
to sit up, begins to walk about the room,
begins to go to business. And, 10, he goes
back to the same grogshops for his morn
ing dram, and his evening dram, and the
drains between. Flat down again. Same
doctor Same physical anguish. Same
medical warning. Now the illness is
moro protracted tho liver is more stub
born, the stomach more irritable and the
digestive organs ara more rebellious. But
after awhile he Is out again, goes back TO
the same dramshops and goes the same
round of sacrilege against his physical
health.
He sees that his downward course Is
running his household; that his life Is a
perpetual perjury against his marriage
vow; that that broken hearted woman Is
SO unlike the hopeful young wife whom he
married that her old schoolmates do not
recognize her that his sons are to be
tainted for n lifetime by the father s
drunkenness; that the daughters are 10

their happiness, their prospects for this
life and perhaps for the life to come. Some.
times an appreciation of what he Is doing
comes upon him. His nervous system is
all u tangle, From crown of head to sole
Of foot he is one aching, rasping, cruelty
Ing, dunning torture. Where is her In
hell ON earth Does 1t reform him'
After awhile he has delirium tremcns,
with whole jungle OF + sing reptiles let
out on his pillow, and his screams horrify
the neighbors as he dashcs out of his bed
crying, Take these things of mel" As
I he sits pale and convalescent the doctor
says Now, l want to have u plain talk
with you, my dear fellow. The next at
tack OF this kind you have you will BIZ he
| yond al medical skill and you will die "
| He gets better and goes forth into the same
round again. This time medicine takes
no effect. Consultation OF physicians
agree in saying there Is no hope Death
