ITS CAUSE AND CURE

DIR. McCoRKLE.
PRAYED FOR M'KINLEY.
ssWOULD-BE ASSASSIN OF THE
HELLIsH SPAWN OF ANARCHY"

CzoIgosz and His Associates Likened
to sinners of the Lost WOrld-''An-
archy the Child of Infidelity; the
Full Ripe Fruit of Atheism"-Ba-

1.-THE Cause and Cure of Anarchism"
was the subject of Rev. DR.. w. P. Nc
Corkles sermon at the First Presby-
terrain Church yesterday morning.
This day." DR.. McCorkle said, pray
ers are being offered throughout our
land for the recovery of our President,
stricken down by the hand of a would
be assassin. The heart of the nation
beats in warmest sympathy for the
noble wife and devoted friends who
watch by his bedside, and in profound
est indignation toward the foul spirit
of hate that prompted the dastardly
deed that has laid him low.
1.-The fact has been satisfactorily as
certained that the would-be assassin
was a disciple of Emma Goldman, the
oracle of Chicago anarchists, and had
attended her lectures. His weak brain
had been fired by her doctrine that
rulers ought to be exterminated. And
before this fact had been elected. the
spontaneous verdict of the American
public had been voiced by prominent
prelate of the Roman Catholic Church
who, when informed of the attempt up
on the Presidents life, said, The as
sassin is of the hellish spawn of an
archy.'
1.-THE public now looks for such deeds
to be done by that hateful society. AL
ready it counts among it's victims an
emperor of Russia, a president of
France, queen of Austria, and king
of Italy. Attempts have been made
upon the lives of a number of crowned
heads of Europe, and now the world ,s
shocked but not surprised, to hear of
an attempt upon the life of President
Mckinley. That foul deed is a natural
sequel of the murder of policemen and
the Haymarket riots, in Chicago.
THE world is to-day confronted by
a horrible, CHASTITY spectre of ruin. It's
eyes are red with hate, its mouth filled
with blasphemies, and it's hands with
dynamite. The name of this apparition
is Anarchy While we lift our prayers
to Heaven asking that the purpose of
the would-be assassin may be thwart-
ed, it may be we'll for us to consider
whether there is not a lesson that may
be learned from this last outbreak of
the foul spirit of hate, now vomiting
its threats against all the governments
of the civilized world.
No God Before Their Eyes.
1.-THE first passage selected as our
text, Romans HIS: There is no
fear of God before their eyes, states
the cause. 1t is the climax of a series
of statements which may almost be
regarded as prophetic description of
the modern anarchists. Certain il is
that among all the sinners of this lost
world that are described here, none
show the features of aggravated sin
fulness more plainly than the would-be
assassin Czolgosz, and his anarchist
associates. AS it is written, there is
none righteous, no not one; there is
none that understandeth, there is none
that seeketh after God. They are all
gone out of the way, there is none
that doeth good, no, not one. Their
throat is an open sepulchre; with their
tongues they have used deceit; the
poison of asps is under their fps:
whose mouth is full of cursing and
bitterness: their feet are swift to shed
blood: destruction and misery are in
they ways: and the way of peace they
have not known: there is no fear of
God before their eyes.
Destruction and misery are in the
ways of this accursed band and their
feet are swift to shed blood, because
there is no fear of God before their
eyes. Anarchy is the child of modern
infldelity. 1t is the full-ripe fruit of
theism. 1t boldly avows enmity to all
religious, and with blood curdling
blasphemy demands the abolition of
God. It denounces right as a Pigment
OF fancy, and proclaims that conscience
is the product of education. 1t asserts,
Following the dictum of a certain class
OF so-called scientists of our time, that
men and all things exist because of
the conglomeration of atoms in ac-
cordance with the principles of gravity
and attraction and not through the
power of any priest begotten Cod II
denies the spirituality of the soul be-
cause 1t can find no psychic substance
with the scalpel, and teaches the i'm
mortality Of man, while scouting the
Immortality of men. It's basis
or belief is cold blank
cherries materialism; and forti-
ned upon that IL hurls the anathemas
OF 1ts nendlsh malignity upon all that is
holy in the faith and all that is vener-
able in the traditions of the race. Its
ruling spirit is hate; it's highest attain
ment is supreme discomfort.
Anarchy's Tenets.
Rejecting God and revelation, de-
nying the Immortality of the soul and
the reality of judgment, anarohism
naturally chooses for it's watchword,
Hither with the AK and let us de-
stroy everything Bakunin, the faith
er of Russian nihilism, in a speech de-
hvered in Geneva, in 1868, said this:
According to the priests fables, in
the days Of old, a deluge destroyed all
mankind, but their God especially saw
ed Noah, that the seeds of tyranny
and falsehood might be perpetuated in
the new world. When you begin your
work of destruction, and when tie
floods of enslaved masses OF the people
rise and engulf temples and palaces,
then take heed that no ark be allowed
to rescue any atom of this old world,
which we consecrate to destruction A
fair and full sample Of this infidel hate
and falsehood.
Hence it is that anarchists have
been plotting increasingly against ev-
cry government under which they
have been permitted to live They are
the enemies of all law. and of every
form of political organization. An
