A Poisoned Dinner,

tage, that they cried out, and sald, 0 thou man
of God, there is death in the pat. And they
sould not eat thereof.” II Kings 4: 40.
Elisha had gone down to lecture to
the students in the theological seminary
at Gilgal, He found the students very
hungry, as students are apt to be. 1tis
very seldom the world makes large pro-
vision for those who give themselves to
intellectual toil, In order that these
students may be prepared to hear what
Elisha says, he {rst feeds their hunger.
He knew very well it is useless to talk
to preach, to lecture, with hungry men.
So Elisha, recognizing this common-
sense principle, which every Christian
ought to recognize, sends servants out
to get food for those hungry students.
They pick up some good, healthful
herbs, but they happen to pick up also
some coloquintida, a bitter poisonous,
deathful herb. They bring all thesc
herbs, they put them iuto the boiling
pot, they stir them up, and then a por-
tion of this food is brought to the stu-
dents and their professors, Seated at
the table, one of the hungry students
begins immediately to eat, and he hap-
pens to get hold of
SOME OF THE COLOQUINTIDA,
He knew it by the taste. Ie cries out,
Poison! poison! O thou man of God,
there is death in the pot!” Consterna-
tion 1s thrown over the whole group.
What a fortunate thing it was that this
student so early found the coloquintida
in the mixture at the table! You will
by reference {ind this story is precisely
as I have mentioned it.
Well, in our day there are great cald-
rons of sin and death. Coloquintida of

Some time ago, you will remember, I

At the same time I said to you briefly
what this morning 1 wish to say with

the caldrons of sin
which the iniquities of society are
dipped out.
1. Inthe first place, I remark: that
unhappy and undiciplined homes are the
caldrons of great iniquity. Parents harsh
and cruel on the one hand, or on the
other hand loose in their government,
wickedly loose in their government, are
raising up a generation of vipers. A
ome where scolding and fretfulness are
dominant is blood relation to the gal
lows and the penitentiary! Petulance is
a serpent that crawls up into the family
nursery sometimes and crushes every-
thing. Why, there are parents who
sven make religion disgusting to their
children. They have an exasperating
way of doing their duty. The house is
full of the warwhoop of contention, and

taking them out on the dangerous wind-

comes the howling of the wolf and the
sound of loosened ledge and tumbling
avalanche? Blessed is the family altar

A house took fire and the owner was
very careful to get all his furniture out.
He got all his books out, and got all his
pictures out, and he got all his valuable
papers out, but he forgot to ask, until it
was too late:
“ARE MY CHILDREN SAFE?"
Oh, when the earth shall melt with fer-
vent heat, and the mountains shall
blaze, and the seas shall blaze, will your
children besafe? Will your children be
safe? Unbappy and undisciplined
homes are the source of mugh of the
wretchedness and sin of the world, I
know there are exceptions to it some-
times. From a bright and beautiful
Christian home a husband or a son will
go forth to die, Oh, how long have you
had that boy in your prayers! Ie does
not know how many sleepless nights you
have spent over him, He does not un-
derstand how many tears you have shed

after you have toiled for a child, and
given him every advantage and every
kindness, to have him pay you back in
ipgratitude! As one Sabbath morning

i ful hotels; you find them around there
| every day—men who do nothing, never

only four: by inheritance, by earning it,
by begging it, by stealing it; and there
are a vast multitude among us who get
their living not by mleritance, nor by
earning it, nor by begging it. I do not
like to take the responsibility of saying
how they get it! Now, these men are
a constant temptation. Why should I
toil and wear myself out In the bank, or
the office, or the store, or the shop, or
the factory? These men have nothing
to do. They get along a great deal
better. And that is the temptation
under which a great many young men
fall. They begin to consort with these
men, these idlers, and they go down the
same awful steeps. The number of men
in our cities who are trying to get their
living by their wits and by sleight-of-
hand is all the time increasing.

Horatius of ol time was told that he
could ‘have just as much ground as he

point where he started, and all that

can plow around with your own hard
work, ‘‘Go to the ant, thou sluggard;
consider her ways, and be wise,”’ One
of the most awful caldrons of death to-
day is an indolent life. Thank God that
you have to work.
III. Once more I remark: that
THE DRAM SHOP
is a great caldron of iniquity in our
time. Anarchzrsis said that the vine
bore three grapes: the first was Pleasure,
the next was Drunkenness, and the
next Misery. Every saloon above or
under ground is a fountain of iniquity.
It may have a license and it may go
along quite respectably for a while, but
after a while the cover will fall oft and
the color of the iniquity will be dis-
played.
“Oh, says some one, ‘‘you ought to be
easier on such a traffic when it pays
such a large revenue to the Government,
and helps support your schoolsand your
great Institutions of mercy.”’ And then
I think of what William E. Gladstone
said—1 think it was the first time he
was Chancellor of the Exchequer—when
men engaged in the ruinous trafic came
lo him and said their business ought to
that it paid such a large revenue to the
English Government, Mr. Gladstone
| sald: “‘Gentlemen, don’t worry your
gelves about the revenue; give me thirty
millions of sober people, and we'll have
revenue enough and a surplus.
We might in this country

{ would have more peace, and we would

might I not say thousands?--of young
men in this house this morning-—young
men of fair prospects. Put your trust

you will be tempted, Perhaps you may
this moment be addressed on the first
Sabbath of your coming to the great
city, and 1 give you this brotherly
counsel. I speak not in a perfunctory
way. I speak as an older brother talks
to a younger brother. I put my hand
on your shoulder this day and commend
you to Jesus Christ, who Himself was
a young man, and died while yet a
young man, and has sympathy for all
young men, Oh, be master, by the
grace of God, of your appetites and

I close with a peroration, Ministers
and speakers are very apt to close with
a peroration, and they generally roll
up some grand imagery to express what
they have to say. I close with a pero-
ration mightier than was ever uttered
by mere human lips. Two quotations,
The first is this: ‘Who hath woe? who
out cause?
| for at the last it biteth
| and stingeth like an adder.” This is
| the other quotation, Make up
