l when the missionaries first came. Call | home the 500 missionaries from India and overthrow their 2,000 schools, where they are trying to educate the heathen, and scatter the 140. 900 little children that they have gathered ont of arbarism into civilization. Obliter. l of David Abeel in China, of Dr. King | in Greece, of Judson in Burma, of David Brainerd amid the American aborigines, and send home the 5000 missionaries of the cross who are toll ing in foreign lands, toiling for Christ s sake, toiling themselves into the grave. Tell these 8, 900 men of God that they are of no use. Send home the medical missionaries who are doctoring the bodies as we'll as the souls of the dying nations. Go home, London Missionary society Go home, American board of foreign missionsl Go home, ye Mora vians, and relinquish back into darkness and squalor and death the nations whom ye have begun to lift.
 Oh, my friends, there has never been such nefarious plot on earth as that which infidelity and atheism have plan ned. We were shocked 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 will dynamite world. Let them have their full way, and this world will be habitation of three rooms-a habitation with just three rooms; the one madhouse, another a lazaretto, the other a pandemonium. These infidel bands of music have only just begun their concert-yea, they have only been stringing their instru- ments. I today put before you their whole programme from beginning unto close. In the theater the tragedy comes first and the farce afterward, but in this infidel 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 himself will laugh and mock. He says so. 1T will laugh at their calamity and meek when their fear cometh. ''
 From such a chasm of individual, na- tional, worldwide ruin, stand back. Oh, young men, stand back from that chasml You see the practical drift of my sermon. I 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 certainly as there is God, it will come) when the infdels and the atheists who openly and out and out and aboveboard preach and practice infidelity 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 gan grened and ichorous and vermin cover ed and rotting apart with his bestiali- ty will be left to die in the ditch and be denied decent burial, and men will come with spades and cover up the car cass where it falls, that it poison not the air, and the only text in all the Bi- ble appropriate for the funeral sermon will be Jeremiah xxi, 19, ''He shall be buried with the burial of an ass. D
 InadeIity Will Fail.
 A thousand voices come up to me this hour, saying: "Do you really think infidelity will succeed2 Has Chris tianity received its deathblowf And will the Bible become obsoletef" 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 today it is warming the nations, and today it is gliding the sea, and today it is filling the earth with its light. The same old. sun, not at all worn out, though its light steps one hundred and ninety million miles second, though it's pulsations are four hundred and fifty trillion undulations in a second. The same sun with beautiful white light made up of the violet, an 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 Chris tianity 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 speculation until they are shadowed under their own vaporing but the Lord God is sun This white light of the gospel made up of all the beautiful colors of earth and heaven-violet plucked from amid the 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 the 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 this spiritual spectrum. Great Britain is going to take all Europe for God. The United States are going to take America for God. Both of them together will take all Asia for God. All three of them will take Africa for God.
