Drunkard's Wee Depleted fn Eirong

All Goodw=A Call to Christians,
Text: “And there shall be a great ory
throughout all the land of Egypt." —Ex«
odus xi., 6,
This was the worst of the ten plagues,
The destroying angel at midnight flapped
his wing over the land, and there was one
dead in each house. Lamentation and
mourning and woe through all Egypt,
That destroying angel has fled the earth,
but a far worse hus come. He sweeps
through these cities, It is the destroying
angel of strong drink. Far worse devasta-
tion wrought by this second than by the
first, The calamity in America worse than
the ealamity in Egypt. Thousands of the
slain, millions of the slain, No arithmetio
ean ealeulate their number.
Once upon a time four fiends met in the
lost world, They resolved that the people
of our eurth were too happy, and these
four infernals came forth to our earth on
embassy of mischief. The one flend sald,
“I'll take charge of the vineyards." An.
other sald, “I'll take charge of the grain
fields.” Another said, “I'll take charge of
the dairy.” Another sald, “I'll take charge
of the music.” The four flends met in the
great Sahara desert, with skeleton fingers
clutehed each other in handshake of fidel-
ity, kissed each other goodby with lip of
blue flame and parted on their mission.
The flend of the vineyard came in one
bright morning amid the grapes and sat
down on a root of twisted grapevine in
sheer discouragement, The flend knew
not how to damage the vineyard, or,
through it, bow to damage the worid.
The grapes were so ripe and beautiful
and luscious. They bewitched the air with
their sweetness. There seemed to be so
much health in every bunch, and while
the flend sat there in utter indignation
and disappointment he clutched a cluster
and squeezed it in perfect spite, and, lo!
his band was red with the blood of the
vinevard, and the flend said: “That re.
minds me of the blood of broxen hearts.
I'll strip the vineyard, and I'll squeeze out
all the juice of the grapes, and I'll aliow
the juices of the grapes to stand until they
rot, and I'll eall the proeess fermenta-
tion.’ And there was a great vat pre.
pared, and people came with their cups
and their pitchers, and they dipped up the
blood of the grapes, and they drank and
drank and went away drinkiog, and they
drank until they fell in lopg lines of death,
s0 that when the flend of the vineyard
wanted to return to his Pome in the pit
he stepped from carcass to carcass and
walked down amid a great causeway of
the dead,
Then the second ’flend came into the
grainfleld. He waded chin deep amid the
bariey and the rie, He heard ail the grain
talking about bread and prosperous bus
bandry and thrifty homes. He thrust his
long arms into the graiofleld, and he pulled
up the grain and threw 1t into the water,
and be made beneath it great flres——fires
lighted with a spark from his own heart—
and there were a grinding and a mashing
and stench, and the people came with their
bottles, and they Spped up the flery liquid,
and they drank, and they blasphemed, and
they staggered, and they fought, and they
rioted, and they murdered, and the flend of
the pit, the flend of the grainfield, was so
pleased with their behavior that he changed
his residence from the pit to & whisky bar-
rel, and there he sat oy the door of the
bunghole laughing in bigh merriment at
the thought that out of anything so harm.
less as the grain of the fleld he might turn
this world into a seeming pandemonium,
The flend of the dairy saw the cows com.
ing homie from the pasture field, full ud.
dered, snd as the maid milked he said, “I'll
soon spoil all that mess, I'll add to it
brandy, sugar and nutmeg, and 1'31 stir it
into a milk punch, and ebildren will drink
it and some of the tem wee people will
drink it, and IL ean do them m
I'll give them a headache, and then I'l
band them over tothe more vigoroos fiends
of the satanic delegation.” And then the
fiend of the dairy leaped upon the shell
and danced until the long row of shining
milkpans almost quaked,
The flend of the music entered a grog.
shop, and there were but few customers,
Finding few customers, he swept the eir-
cuit of the city, and be gatbered up the
musical instruments and after nightfall he
marshalled a band, and the trombones
blew and the eymbails clapped and the
drums beat and the bugles called and the
jecpie erowded in, and they swung around
n merry dance, each one with a wivegiass
in his hand, and the dance became wilder
and stronger and rougher, nati] the room
shook and the glasses cracked and the lon:
broke and the crowd dropped into heli,
Then the four flends—the flend of the
vineyard and of the grainfield and of the
dairy and of the music hall-went back to
their home, and they held high carnival
because their work had been so well done,
and satan rose from his throne and an.
nounced that there was no danger of the
earth's redemption so long as thess four
flends could pay sach tax to the diabolie.
And then ail the demons and all the sprites
and all the flends filled their glasses and
clicked ‘hem and cried: “Let us drink—
drink to the everiasting prosperity of the
liquor traffic! Here's to woe and darkness
and murder and death! Drink! Drink!”
Bat whetner by allegory or by appalisg
statistic this subject is presanted vou know
as well as I that it is impossible to exag.
gerate the evils of strong drink. A plague!
A plague! In the first piace the inebriate
suffers from the loss of a good name. God
40% 80 arranged it that no man loses his
reputation except Ly his own act. The
world may assault a man, and all the
powers of darkness may assault him-—they
cannot capture him so long as his heart is
pure and his iife Is pure. All the powers
of earth and bell cannot take that Gibral.

Bo that all you bave to do is to keep
oursell right. Never mind the world. Let
t say what it will. It ean do you no
damage. But as soon as it is whispered,
“He drinks,” and it ean be proved, he
begins to go down, What clerk ean get a
position with such a reputation? What
store wants him? What church of God
wants him for a member? What dying man
wants him for an executor? “He drinks!’
I stand before hundreds of young men
and [ say it not in flattery splendid young
men who have thelr reputation as thei
only eapital, Your father gave you a good
education, or as good an education as he
could afford to give you. He started you
in city life. He could furnish youd ne
means, but he has surrounded you wit
Christian influences and a good memory o
the past. Now, young man, under God yon

your fortune, and as your reputation i¢

reputation and you lose your eapital,
The inebrinte suffers also in the fact that
hie loses his self respect, and when you des
stroy a man's self respect there ls not much
left of him. Then aman will do things be

he would not say otherwise. The fact is,
that man cannot stop or he would stop
Bow, He Is bound band and foot by the

in the wills of a great horror. After be is
_ three-fourths gone iv this slavery the first
thing he wili be anxious to impress you with
is that h wants to
row.” His most confidential friend save;
“Why, I'm airald you are losing your
balance with that habit. You are going a
little further than you ean afford to go.
You had better stop.” “Oh, no!” he says.
“I can stop at any time. I ean Stop now."
He goes on further and further. He can-
pot stop. 1 will prove it. He loves hime
self, and he knows neverthelessthat strong
drink is depleting him in body, mind and
poul, He knows he is going down; that he
lias less self control, less equipolse of tem-
per, than he used to. Why does he not
stop? Because hecannot stop. I will prove
it by going still further. He loves his
wifes nnd children. He sees that his
habits are bringing disgrace upon his home,
The probabilities are they will ruin his wife
and disgrace his children. Hesocesall this,
and he loves them. Why does nénotstop?y
He cannot stop.
Oh, my young friends, I want to tell you
that there is a point in Inebriation beyond
which if a man go he cannot stop! Bat
sometimes a man will be more frank than
that, A vietim of strong drink sald ton
reformer: “It is impossible for me to
stop. I realizeit, But if you should tell
me Ieouldn’t have a drink until to-mor-
row night unless 1 had all my flugers cut
off, I would say, ‘Bring on the hatchet and
cut them off.’” 1 bad a very dear friend
in Philadelphia whose nephew came to him
and was talking about his trouble and con-
fessed it. He confessed he could not stop.
My friend sald, "You must stop.” Hesald:
“I ean’t stop. Il there stood a cannon,
and it was loaded, and there was a glass
of wine in the mouth of the cannon, and
I knew you would fire it off {tf
I approached, I would start to get that
glass of wine, 1 must have it. 1 can’t
get rid of this habit, I can't get away
from it." Ob, it is awful for a man to
wake up and {eel that he fs a captive! I
hear him soliloquizing, saying: “I might
have stopped three months ago, but I can't
stop mow. Dead, but not buried; I am a
walking corpse. I am an apparition of
what I once was, lam a Ro immortal
and my soul beats against the wires of my
cage on this side and beats against the
wires of my cage on the other side until
there is blood on the wires and blood on
the soul, but I can’t get out. Destroyed
without remedy!” — — ’
See the attendants stand back from that
ward fm the hospital where the (nebriates
are dying. They cannot stand it, The
keepers come through it and say: “Hush
up, now! Stop making this noise! Be
still! You are disturbing all the other pa-
tients,
poor ereatures wring their hands and say:
“0 God! Help, help! Glve moe ram, give
mes rum! 0 God! fre: i Take the devils
off of mel 0 God! ©O God!” And they
shriek and they blaspheme and they ory
for help and then they ask the keepers to
slay them, saying: “Stab me, strangle n 8,
smother vwoel! Help, help! Ra al
Give me rom! 0 God! Help!” They tear
out their hair by the handful, and thay
bite their nails Into the qguiek, This Is ao
faney pleture. It i» transpiriog in a hos-
pital mt this moment, It went on last
pight while you slept, and more than that,
that is tke death some of you wili die un-
less you stop. lsee it coming. God help
you to stop before you go so far that you
cannot stop,
tat it plagues a man also in the joss of
home. I do notcars how much he loves
his wife and children, it this habit gets the
mastery over him he will do the most out-
rugecus things. lf need be, in order to got
strong deink, he would sell them all into
everiastiog captivity. There are hundreds
and thousands of homes that have been
utteriy biasted of it. I am speaking of no
abstraction. Is there anything 50 disas-
trous to a man for this fe and for the life
to come? Do you tell me that a man can
be happy when he Knows he Is breaking
his wife's heart and clothing his children
with rags? There are Hitle ¢hildren in the
streets to-day, barefooted, unkempt, un-
combed, want written on every patel of
their faded dress and on every wrinkle of
their prematurely old countenance, who
would bave been in the house of God this
morning as well clad as you had it not
been that strong drink drove their parents
down into penury and then down into the
ErTAave, Ob, rom, ram, thou
mes, thou foe of God, thou
officer of the pit, | hate thee!
Bat my sabject takes a deeper tons when
it tells you that the Inebriate suffers the
was of thesoul., The Bible intimates that
we go into the future world unforgiven
he appetites and passions which were
when the inetwrinte wakes up in the
st world there will be an infinite thirst
clawing upon him, In this world be sould
get strong drink. However poor he was
in this world, he could beg or he conid
steal five cents to get a drink that wonld
fora little while slake his thirst, but in
eternity where will the rum come from?
Dives wanted one drop of water, but could
not get ft. Where will the inebriate get
the draft he go wuch requires, so much de-
manda? No one to brew it. Noone to
mix §t. No ons to pour it. No ounsto
feteh it. Millions of worlds now forthe
dregs that were thrown on the sawdusted
floor of the restaurant, Millions of worlds
now for therind lang out from the punch
bowl of an earthly banquet, Dives ealled
for water. The inebrinte ealls for rum,
If a flend from the lost world should come
up on a mission to a grogehop and, having

come back, taking en the tip of his wing
one drop of aleoholie beverage, what ex.
citerment it would make all through the
world of the lost, and, if that one drop of
aleoholie beverage should drop from the
wing of the flend upon the tongue of the
inebriate, how he would spring up and ery:
“That's It! Tst's it! Ram! Ram! That's
iti” And all the caverns of the lost wonid
echo with the ery: “Give it to me! Rum!
Ram!"* Ah, mylriends, the ineliriate’s sor.
row in the pest world will not be the ab-
sence of God or holiness or light; it will be
the absence of rum, *‘Look not upon the
wine when it is red, when {t moveth itself
aright in the cup, for at the last it biteth

think you canpot get baek? Did I say a

But I want you also to understand that
while the man himself, of Lis own strength,

of every Korean man and woman. How.
ever poor an individual may be there al-
wuys seems to be some method of ob-
taining tobacco for the pipe which he or
she is sure to possess, whatever else is
lacking. The tobucco used by Koreans
is almost entirely home-grown. Every
farmer or gardener cultivates his little
puteh of tobueco, much of which is very
good in quality, but is injured in curing,
being simply hung up under the wide
eaves of the house to dry. It is quite
strong. The supply seems to be ample,
and the price is very low. No leaf to-
bacco is imported. The Korean pipe is
a brass bowl of fair size with a brass
mouthpiece. Pipe and bowl are connect

four feet in length, some of these stems
being beautifully ornamented, and all be-
