(objects "Self-Slaughter"—A Terrible
Denunciation of Suicide—Assassination
of Others a Mild Crime Compared With
Assassination of Yourself.
TEXT: "DO thyself no harm."—Acts
16: 28.
Here is a would-be suicide arrested In
lis deadly attempt. He was a sheriff, and,
locording to the Roman law, a bailiff liim
lelf must suffer the punishment due an es
>aped prisoner; and it the prisoner break
ing Jail was sentenced to be endungeoned
Jor three or tour years, then the sheriff
Bust be endungeoned for three or four
fears, and if this prisoner breakiugjail was
lo have suffered capital puDlshment, then
ihe sheriff must suffer capital punishment,
the sheriff had received especial charge to
leep a sharp lookout for Paul and Silas.
The government bad not much conildenoe
hi bolts and bars to keep safe these two
flergymen, about whom there seemed to
tie something strange and supernatural.
Sure enough, by miraculous power, they
ire free, and the sheriff, waking out of a
found sleep, and supposing these ministers
tave run away, and knowing that they
frere to die for preaching Christ, and real
izing that he must therefore die, rather
than go under the executioner's axe on the
morrow and suffer public disgrace, resolves
lo precipitate his own decease. But before
Ihe sharp, keen, glittering dagger of the
theriff could strike his heart, one of the un
loosened prisoners arrests the blade by the
tommand, "Do thyself no harm "
In olden times, and where Christianity
bad not interfered with it, suicide was
tonsldered honorable and a sign of cour-
Ige. DemosthenQS poisoned himself when
Sold that Alexander's ambassador had de
manded the surrender of the Athenian
srator. Isocrates killed himself rather
lhan surrender to Philip of Macedon.
£ato, rather than submit to Julius C®sar,
:ook his own life, and three times after his
vounds had been dressed, tore them open
ind perished. Mithridates killed himself,
ather than submit to Poaipey, the con
lueror. Hannibal destroyed his life by
loison from his ring, considering life un
learable. Lycurgus a suicide, Brutus o
uicide. After the disaster of Moscow,
lapoleon always carried with him a prep
,ration of poison, and one night his
ervaut heard the ex-emperor arise, put
omething in a glass and drink it, and
oon after the groans aroused all the at
endants, and it was only through utmost
nedical skill that he was resuscitated.
Pirnes have changed, yet the American
onscience needs to be toned up on the
übjeot of suicide. Have you seen a paper
u the last month that did not announce the
npsage out of life by one's own behest?
)efaulters, alarmed at the idea of exposure,
uit life precipitately. Men losing large
irtunes go out of the world because they
annot endure eartaly existence. Frus
rated affection, domestic infelicity, dys
eptic impatience, anger, remorse, envy,
salousy, destitution, misanthropy, are
onsidered sufficient causes for abscond
ig from this life by Paris green, bylauda
um, by belladonna, by Othello's dagger,
y halter, by leap from the abutment of a
ridge, by firearms. More cases of felo
e se in the last two years than In any two
ears of the world's existence, and more
i tho last month than in any twelve
lontbs. The evil is more and more spread-
A pulpit not long ago expressed some
oubt as to whether there was really any
sing wrong about quitting this life when
became disagreeable, aod there are
mad in respectable circles people apolo
utic for the crime which Paul in the text
rrested. I shall show you before X get
irough that suicide is the worst of all
■iraes, and I shall lift a warning unmis-
Lkab'e. But In the early part of this ser
on I wish to admit that some of the best
hristians that have ever lived have com
iltted self-destruction, but always in de
entia, and not responsible. I have no
ore doubt about their eternal felicity
mn I have of the Christian who dies in
is bed in the delirium of typhoid fever,
bile the shock of the catastrophe is very
reat. I charge all those who have had
bristian friends uuder cerebral aberration
ep off the boundaries of this life, to have
a doubt about their happiness. The dear
ord took fhem right out of their dazed
ad frenzied state into perfect safety. How
hrist feels towards the insane you may
uow from the way He treated "the de
oniac of Gadara and the child lunatic,
id the potency with which He hushed
mpests either of sea or brain.

mbing up as he did from the quarry and
e wall of the stone mason, drew "forth
o astonished admiration of Bucklandand

Testament? Then, perhaps, you
the Ten Commandments: "Thou
not kill." Do you say that all these
ges refer to the taking of the life of
a? Then I ask you If you are not as
<nslble for your own life as for the life
hers? God gave you a special trust in
and made you the custodian of your
and He made you the custodian of no
r life. He gave you as weapons with
;h to defend it two arms to strike down
Hants, two eyes to watch tor invasion,
a natural love of life which ought ever
>on the alert. Assassination of others
nlld crime compared with the assas
ion of yourself, because in the latter
case it Is treachery to an especial trust; It
is the surrender of a castle you were es
pecially appointed to keep; It is treason t o
a natural law, and it is treason to God add"
ed to ordinary murder.
To show how God of the Bible looked
upon this crime, I point you to the rogues'
picture gallery in some parts of the Bible,
the pletures of the people who have con?
mitted this unnatural Crime. Here is the
headless trunk of Saul on the wails of Batb
shan. Here is the man who chased little
David—ten feet in stature chasing four.
Here is the man who consulted a clairvoy
ant, Witch of Endor. Here is a man who,
whipped in battle, instead of surrendering
his sword with dignity, as many a man has
done, asks his servant to slay him, and
when that servant declined, then the giant
plants the hilt of his sword in the earth,
the sharp point sticking upward, and he
throws his body oa it and expires—the cow
ard, the suicide! Here is Ahltophel, the
Machiavelll of olden times, betraying his
best friend, David, in order that he" may be
come prime minister of Absalom, and join
ing that fellow In his attempt at parricide.
Not getting what he wanted by change of
politics, he takes a short cut out of a dis
graceful life Into the suicide's eternity.
There he is, the ingrate!
Here is Abimelech, pratically a suicide.
He is with an army, bombarding a tower,
when a woman in the tower takes u grind
stone from its place and drops it upon his
head, and with what life he has left in his
cracked skull bo commands his armor
bearer: "Draw thy sword and slay me,
lest men say a woman slew me." There is
His photograph in the Book of
Samuel.
But the hero of this group is Judas
Iscariot. Dr. Donne says he was a mar
tyr, and we have in our day apologists for
him. And what wonder, in this day when
we huve a book revealing Aaron Burr as a
pattern of virtue, and in this day when we
unoover a statue of George Sand as the
benefactress of literature, and in this day
wben there are betrayals of Cnrist on the
part of some of His pretended apostles—a
betrayal so black it makes the infamy of
Judas Iscariot white! Vet this man by his
hand hung up for the execration of all
ages, Judas Iscariot.
All the good men and women of the Bible
left to God the decision of the earthly
terminus, and they could have said witti
Job, who had u right to commit suicide if
any man ever had, what with his destroyed
properly and his body all aflame with in
sufferable carbuncles, and everything gone
from his home except the chief curse of It,
a pestiferous wife and four garrulous peo
ple pelting him with comiortless talk while
he sits on a heap of ashes scratching bis
scabs with a piece of broken pottery, yet
crying out in triumph: "All the days of my
appointed time will I wait till my change
comes."
Notwithstanding the Bible Is against this
evil, and the nversion which it creates by
the loathsome and ghastly spectacle of
those who have hurled themselves out of
life, and notwithstanding Christianity is
against it and the arguments and the use
ful lives and the illustrious deaths of its
disciples, it is a fact alarmingly patent
that suicide is on the increase. What is
the cause? I charge upon infidelity and
agnosticism this whole thing. If there be
no hereafter, or if that hereafter be bliss
ful without reference to how we live and
how we die, why not move back the fold
ing doors between this world and the
next? And when our existence here be
comes troublesome why not pass right
over into Elysium? Put this down among
your most solemn reflections. There has
never been u case of suicide where the
operator was not either demented, and
thereforo irresponsible, or an infidel. I
challenge all the ages and I challenge the
universe. There never has been a
case of self-destruction while In full
appreciation of his immortality and of the
fact that that immortality would be glori
ous or wretched according as he accepted
Jesus Christ or rejected Him.
You say it is a business trouble, or you
say it is electrical currents, or it is this, or
it Is that, or it is the other thing. Why not
go clear back, my friend, and acknowledge
that in every case it is the abdication of
reason or the teaching of infidelity, which
practically sa.vs: "If you don't like this
life get out of it, and you will land either
in annihilation, where there are no notes
to pay. no persecutions to suffer, no gout
to torment, or you will land where tnere
will be everything glorious and nothing to
pay for it." Infidelity has always been
apologetic forself-immolatlon. After Tom
Paine's "Age of Reason" was published
and widely read there was a marked in
crease of self-slaughter.
A man in London heard Mr. Owen de
liver his infidel lecture on socialism, and
went home, sat down, and wrote these
"Jesus Christ is one of the weakest
characters in history, and the Bible is the
greatest possible deception," and then shot
himself. David Hame wrote these words:
"It would be no crime for me to divert the
Nile or the Danube from its natural bed.
Where, then, can be the crime in my divert
ing a few drops of blood from their ordin
ary ohannel?" And having written the
essay he loaned it to a friend, the friend
read It, wrote a letter of thanks and admir
ation, and shot himself. Appendix to the
same book.
Bousseau, Volt aire, Gibbon, Montaigne,
were apologetic for self-immolation. Infi
delity puts up no bar to people rushing out
from this world into the next. They teach
us it does not make any difference how you
live here or go out of this world; you will
land either in an oblivious nowhere or o
glorious somewhere. And infidelity holds
the upper end of the rope for the suicide,
and aims tho pistol with which a man
blows his brains out, and mixes the strych
nine for the last swallow. If infidelity
could carry the day Rnd persuade the ma
jority of people in this country that it does
not make any difference how you go out
of this world you will land safely, the
Potomac would be so full of corpses the
boats would be impeded In their progress,
and the crack of the suicide's pistol would
be no more alarming than the rumble of a
street car.
I have sometimes heard It discussed
whether the great dramatist was a Chris
tian or not. He was a Christian. In his
last will and testament ho commends his
soul to God through the sacriflce of Jesue
Christ.
Would God that the coroners would be
brave in rendering the right verdict, and
when in a case of irresponsibility they say:
"While this man was demented he took hie
life;" In the other case say: "Having read
infidel books and attended infidel lectures,
which obliterated from this man's mind all
appreciation of future retribution, he com
mitted self-slaughter!"
Have nothing to do with an infldelitv so
cruel, so debasing. Come out of that bad
company into the company of those who
believe the Bible. Benjamin Franklin
wrote: "Of this Jesus of Nazareth I have
to say that the system of morals He leH,
and the religion He hu3 given us are the
best things the world has ever seen or Is
likely to see." Patrick Henry, the electric
champion of liberty, says: "Tbe book
worth all other books put together is the
Bible." Benjamin Rush, the leading phys
iologist and anatomist of his day, tbe great
medical scientist—what did he say? "The
only true and perfect religion is Christiani
ty." Isaac Newton, the leading philoso
pher of his time—what did he say? "The
sublimest philosophy on earth Is the philos
ophy of the Gospel." David Brewster,
at the pronunciation of whose name every
scientist the world over bows his head-
David Brewster, saying: "Oh, this religion
has been a great light to me, a very great
light all my days." President Thiers, the
great Frenoh statesman, acknowledging
that he prayed when he said: "I invoke
the Lord God, in whom I am glad to be
lieve." David Livingstone, able to con
quer the lion, able to conquer the panther,
afcle to conquer the savage, yet conquced
by this religion, so when they flna hD
dead they find him on bis knees.
Salmon P. Chase, Chief Justice of the Su
preme Court of tbe United States, appoint
ed by President Lincoln, will take tbe wit
ness stand. "Chief Justice Chase, please to
atate what yon have to say about the book
commonly called the Bible." The witness
replies: "There came a time in my lif«
when I doubted the divinity of the Script*
ures, and I resolved as a lawyer and judga
I would try the book as I would try every#
thing else in the court-room, taking evi
dence for and against. It was a long and
serious and profound study, and using the
same principles of evidence in this religious
matter as I always do in secular matters, I
have come to the decision that the Bible is
a supernatural book, that it has come from
God, and that the only safety for the human
nace is to follow Its teachings." "Judge,
that will do. Go out back again to your
pillow of dust on the banks of tho Ohio."
Next I put upon the witness stand a Presi*
dent of the United States —John Quincy
Adams. "President Adams, what have
you to say about the Bible and Chris
tianity?" The President replies: "I have for
many years made it a practice to read
through the Bible onee a year. My cus
tom is to read four or five chapters every
morning immediately after rising from my
bed. It employs about an hour of my time,
and seems to me the most suitable manner
of beginning the day. In what light so
ever we regard the Bible, whether with
reference to revelation, to history or to
morality, it is an invaluable and inex
haustible mine of knowledge and virtue."
"Chancellor Kent, what do you think of
the Bible?" Answer: "No other book
ever addressed itself so authoritatively
and so pathetically to the judgment and
moral sense of mankind." "Edmund
Burke, what do you think of the Bible?"
Answer: "I have read the Bihln morning,
noon and night, and have ever since been
the happier and the better man for such
reading."
Young men of America, come out of the
circle of Infidels—mostly mnde up of
cranks and inbeciles—iuto the company of
intellectual giants, and turn your back
on an infidelity which destroys body and
soul.
Ah! Infidelity, stand up and take thy
sentence! In the presence of God, angels
and men, stand up, thou monster! Thy lip
blasted with blasphemy, they cheek scarred
with uncleanuess, thy'breath foul with the
corruption of the ages! Stand up. Satyr,
filthy goat, buzzard of the nations, leper of
tho centuries! Stand up, thou monster,
Infidelity. Part man, part panther, part
reptile, part dragon, stand up und take
thy sentence! Thy hands red with the
blood in which thou hast washed, thy feet
crimson with the human gore through
which thou hast waded, stand up and take
thy sentence! Down with thee to the pit,
and sup on the sobs and groans of those
thou hast destroyed, and let thy music be
the everlasting miserere of those whom
thou hast damned! I brand tho forehead
of infidelity with all the crimes of self-im
molation for the last century on the part
of those who had their reason.
My friends, if ever your life, through its
abrasions and its molestations, should
seem to be unbearable, and you are tempt
ed to quit it by your own behest, do not
consider yourself as worse than others.
Christ Himself was tempted to cast Him
self from the roof of the Temple, but as
He resisted, so resist ye. Christ came to
medicine all wounds. In your trouble I
prescribe life instead of death. People who
have had it worse than you will ever have
it, have gone songfully on their way. He
member that God keeps the chronology of
your life with us much precision as HB
keeps the chronology of nations, your
grave as well as your cradle. Why was it
that at midnight, just at midnight, tho de
stroying angel struck the blow that set the
Israelites free from bondage? The four
hundred aud thirty years were up at twelve
o'clock that night. The four hundred and
thirty years were not up at eleven, and one
e'elock would have been tardy and too
late. The four hun lred and thirtv years
were up at twelve o'clock, and the de
stroying angel struck the blow, and Israel
was free. And God knows just the
hour when it is time to lead you up from
earthly bondage. By Ilis graoe make not
the worßt of things, but best of them. If
you must take the pills, do not chew them.
Your everlasting reward will accord with
your earthly perturbations, just as Caius
gave to Agrippa a chain of gold as heavy
■ s had been a chain of iron. For the ask
ing you may have the same grace that was
given the Italian martyr, Algeriu9, who,
down in the darkest of dungeons, dated his
letters from"the delectable orchard of the
Leonine prison." And remember that this
brief life is surrounded by a rim, a very
thin, but very important rim, and close up
to that rim is a great eternity, and you had
better keep out of it until God breaks that
rim and separates this from that. To get
rid of the sorrows of earth, do not rush
into greater sorrows. To get rid of a swarm
of summer insects, leap not into a jungle
of Bengal tigers.
There is a sorrowlcss world, and It is so
radiant that the noonday sun is only the
lowest doorstep, and the aurora that lights
up our northern Heavens, confounding
astronomers as to what it can be, is the
waving of the banners of the procession
come to take the conquerors home from
church militant to church triumphant, and
you and I have ten thousand reasons for
wanting togo there, but we will never get
there either by self-immolation or itnpeni
tenoy. All our slain by Christ who
came to do that thing, we want togo in
at just the time divinely arranged, and
from a couch divinely spread, and then
the clang of the sepulchral gates behind
us will be overpowered by the clang of the
opening of the solid pearl before us. O
God! Whatever others may choose, give
me a Christian's life, a Christian's death, a
Christian's burial, a Christian's immor
tality!
TO RENEW THE LOBSTER SUPPLY.
The Government's Effort to Propagate
This Kind of Shellfish.
The United States Government is making
great efforts, by scientific propagation, to
restock the coast waters of Maine with lob
sters. The United States Fish Commis
sioners' schooner Grampus, which has been
at work along the coast for several months,
has collected 1750 seed lobsters from which
18,000,000 eggs haVe been obtained and
hatched out lit Gloucester, Mass. Of these
fry about 5,000,000 have been released in
Casco Bay and the others are to be dis
tributed at various places from Portland
eastward.
The fry are very small, but through the
thin and transparent shell can bo seen the
perfectly formed lobster, with tho eyes es
pecially prominent. Constant changes of
water are necessary to keep them alive. It
is likely that a lobster hatchery will soon
be established on tho Maine coast, and be
fore many years these shellfish will be as
plentiful and cheap as ever they were.
ANTISEPTIC SURGERY RESULTS.
Gratifying Reports From the Surgeons of
the Navy.
Surgeon-General Van Reypen, of the
United States, Navy has received a report
from the Surgeons'wlth the fleet, showing
that in the many cases of wounded, some
of them serious, not a rise of temperature
or an accumulation of pus has appeared in
any case.
From a medical standpoint this is said to
be a marked advance from the conditions
during the Civil War, and is attributed to
the introduction of antiseptic treatment of
wounds. It shows that no fever follows
the wounds, and that with the absence oi
pus the wounds heal rapidly without com
plications.
Considering the great number of wounds
to be treated, now and hereafter, this it
regarded as a most satisfactory showing
not only in medical science, but In the alle
viation of suffering.

Boy Versus Goat.
They tell a good one on Adjutant
Philip Yateman, of the Fourth Vir
ginia, and how he parted with a crisp
$5 bill on payday recently. One of
the mascots of Camp Cuba Libre—a
goat this time—prowled into the
vicinity where Adjutant Yateman was
comfortably seated entertaining his
friends with some rich anecdotes.
While goats, generally speaking, are
repellent, this one was attractive, and
became the topic of the conversation.
Speaking of the goat's eccentricities,
it was concluded by all, just as the
stable-boy approached, no one could
hold down a goat's head to the ground,
and rub the goat's nose in the sand.
"No, sir," said the adjutant. "I'll
bet $5 it can't be done." The stable
boy stood, and asked:
"Do you mean that, captain?"
"I do," was the reply.
"And you will give me $5 if I do
it?"
"Certainly," with a reassuring smile
on his lips.
Then the stable-boy, with rolled-up
sleeves, approached the goat. He had
him by the horns, and then they
tussled. Down, down, came his head,
lower and lower, but the ground
seemed a good way off yet; and then,
in the miniature, there was enacted
the scene of the fight of the Lygian
with the bull, as described in "Quo
Vadis." Every one was intensely in
terested and excited, and the goat and
the boy furnished lots of sport. With
the muscles of his little arms standing
out like whipcords, the boy brought
that goat's nose down to the sand and
rubbed it good and well, until the
dust flew as fast and furiously under
his nose as it did from his pawing
feet. Adjutant Yateman had added to
his list a brand new $5 anecdote.—
