GUARDED BY CHARIOTS OF FIRE. ''Sational Sooriety and a National Ee a lirion lear at Hand. i GEN. WASHINGTON A SECULAE JOSHUA rEFxexAX TXLXGBAX TO THS msrATcn.i Bboobxyit, April 28. At the Tabernacle to-day, the Bev. T. DeWittTalmage, D. D., preached a sermon appropriate to the coin ing Centennial. The vast congregation sang the hymn beginning: Before Jehovah's awful throne. Ye nations, bow with sacred joy. Dr. Talmage's text was II Kirnrs vi. 17: "And the Lord opened the eyes of theyoung man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha." Be said: As it cost England many regiments and $2, 000.000a year to keep safely a troublesome captive at St. Helena, so the king of Syria sends ont a whole army to capture one minister ot religion perhaps 60,000 men to take ElisUa. Sarin;; the night the army of Assyrians came around the Tillage of Dotlmn. where the prophet was staying. At early daybreak the man servant of .Elisha rushed in and said: "What shall we do? there is a whole army come to destroy you. We must die. we must die," But Elisha was not scared a bit, for he looked up and saw the mountains all around full of supernatural forces, and be knew that if there were 50.000 Assyrians against him there were 100,000 angels for liim: and in answer to the nrophet's prayer in behalf of the affrighted man servant, the young man saw it too. Horses of fire harnessed to chariots of fire, and drivers of fire pulling reins of fire on bits of fire; and warriors of fire with brandished sword of fire, and the brilliance of that morning sunrise was eclipsed by the galloping splendors of THE CELESTIAL CAVALCADE. "And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw; and, behold, the mountain was foil of horses and chariots of lire round about Elisha." I have often spoken to you of the Assyrian perils which threaten our Ameri can institutions, but now as we are assembling to keep Centennial celebration of the inaugura tion ot Washington, 1 speak of the upper forces of the text that are to fight on our side. If all the low levels are filled with armed threats, I have to tell you that the mountains of our hope and courage and faith are full of the horses and chariots of Divine rescue. You will notice that the Divine egninage is always represented as a chariot of lire. Eze kiel and Isaiah and John when tbey.come to describe the Divine equipage, always repre sent it as a wheeled, a harnessed, an uphol stered conflagration. It is not a chariot like king and conquerors of earth mount, but an organized and compressed fire. That means purity, justice, chastisement, deliverance through burning escapes. Chariot of rescue? yes, but chariot of fire. All oar national disen thrallments bae been through scorching agonies and red disasters. Through tribulation the individual rises. Through tribulation na tions rise. Chariots of rescue, but chariots of fire. But how do I know that this divine equipage Is on the side of our institutions? I know it bv the history of the last 10S years. The American Bevolution started from the pen of John Han cock In Independence Hall in 1776. The colo nies without ships, without ammunition, with out guns, without trained warriors, without money, without prestige. On the other side, the mightiest nation ot the earth, the largest armies and the grandest navies, and the most distinguished commanders, and resources in exhaustible, and nearly all nations ready to hack them up in the fight. Nothing as against immensity. WASHINGTON A JOSHUA. The cause of the American colonies, which started at zero, dropped still lower through the quarreling of the generals, and through the jealousies at small successes, and through the winters which surpassed all predecessors in depth of snow and horrors of concealment. Elisha, surrounded by the whole Assyrian army, did not seem to be worse off than did the 18 colonies encompassed and overshadowed by foreign assault. What decided the contest in our favor? The upper forces, the upper armies. The Green and White Mountains of New England, the Highlands along the Hudson, the mountains of Virginia; all the Appalachian ranges were full of reinforcements which the young man Washington saw by faith; and his men endured the frozen feet, and the gan grened wounds, and the exhausting hunger, and the long march because "the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and be saw: and, behold, the mountains were full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha." Wash ington himself was a miracle. What Joshua was in sacred history the first American Presi dent was in secular history. A thousand other men excelled him in different things, but he excelled them all in roundness and complete ness of character. The world never saw his like, and probably never will see his like again, because there probably never will he another such exigency. He was let down as a divine in terposition. He w as from God direct. I do not know how any man can read the history of those times without admitting that the contest was decided by the upper forces. Then, in 186L when our Civil War opened, many at the North and at the South pro nounced it national suicide. It was not courage against cowardice, it was not wealth against poverty, it was not large (States agaiust small States. It was HEBOIS3I AGAINST HEEOISM, it was the resources of many generations against the resources of generations, it was the prayer of the North against the prayer of the , South, it was one-half of the nation in armed wrath meeting the other half of the nation in armed indignation. What could come but ex termination? At the opening of the war the commander in chief, of the United States forces was a man who had been great in battle, but old. age had come with man infirmities, and he bad a right to quietude. He could not mount a horse, and he rode on the battle field in a carriage, asking the driver not to jolt it too much. During the most of the four years of the contest, on the Southern side was a man in mid-life, who had in his veins the blood of many generations of warriors, himself one ot the heroes of Cherubusco and Cerro Gordo, Contre ras and Chapultcpec. As the rears passed on and the scroll of carnage unrolled, there came out from both sides a heroism and a strength and a determination that the world had never seen marshaled. And what but extermination could come when Philip Sheridan and Stonewall Jackson met, and N atbaniel Lyon and Sydney Johnston rode in from North and South, and Grant and Lee, the two thunderbolts of battle, clashed? Yet, we are a nation, and yet we are at peace. .Earthly courage did not decide the conflict. The upper forces of the text. Thev tell us there was a battle fought above the clouds on Lookout Mountain; but there was something Aigner man mat. Again, the horses and chariots of God came to the rescne of this nation in 15:76, at the close of a Presidental election famous for devilish ferocity. A darker cloud yet settled down upon this nation. The result of the election a as in dispute, and revolution, not between two or three sections, but revolution in every town and village and city of the United States seemed imminent. THE PEOSPECT WAS that New York would throttle New York, and New Orleans would grip New Orleans, and Boston, Boston and Savannah, Savannah, and 'Washington, "Washington. Some said Mr. Til den was elected; others said Mr. Hayes was elected: and bow near we came to universal massacre-some of ns guessed, bnt God only knew. I ascribe onr escape not to the honesty and righteousness of infuriated politicians, bnt I ascribe it to the upper forces of the text. Chariots of mercy rolled in, and though the wheels were not beard and the flash was not seen, yet all through the mountains of the North and the South and the East and the West, though the hoofs did not clatter, the cavalry of God galloped by. I tell oa Goa is the friend of this nation. In the awf nl excite mentat the massacre.of Lincoln, hen there was a prospect that greater slaughter would open upon this nation, God bushed the tempest. In the awful excitement at the time of Garfield's assassination, God put his foot on the neck of the cyclone. To prove that God is on the side of this nation, I argue from the last eight ornine great national harvests, and from the national health of the last quarter of a'century, epidemics i ery exceptional, and from the great revival of re ligiou, and from the spreading of the Church of God. and from the continent blossoming with asylums and reformatory institutions, and from an Edenization which promises that this whole land is to be a paradise where God shall walk in the cool of the day. If in other sermons I showed you what was the evil that threatened to unset and Hnmnllh American institutions, I am encouraged more nhanl can tell you as I see the regiments wheeling down the sky, and my jeremaids turn 3iS vi """"" nu laal wnicn was tne uooa (Friday of the nation's crucifixion becomes the fiuter morn ot its resurrection.

Nov., in every well organized neighborhood, every Toter is watched with severest scrutiny. I must tell the registrar my name, and how old I am, and how long I have resided in the State, and how long I havo resided in tne ward, or the township, and if I misrepresent 60 wit nesses will rise and shut me out from the ballot box. Is not that a great advance? And then notice the law that prohibits a man voting if be has bet on the election. A step further neeas to be taken, and that man forbidden a vote who has offered or taken a bribe, whether it be in the shape of a free drink or cash paid down, the suspicious cases obliged to put their hand on the Bible and swear their vote in if they vote at all. So through the sacred chest of our nation's suffrage redemption will come. God will also save this nation through an aroused moral sentiment. There has never been so much discussion of morals and lmmor als. Men, whether or not they acknowledge -what is right, have to think what is right. We have men who have had their hands in the pub lic treasury the most of their lifetime, stealing all they could lay their hands on, discoursing eloquently abont dishonesty in public servants, and men with two or three families of their own, preaching eloquently about the beauties of the Seventh Commandment. The question of sobriety and -drunkenness is thrust in the face of this nation as never before ana to take a part in our political contests. NATIONAL SOBRIETY. The question of national sobriety is going to be respectfully and deferentially heard at the bar of every Legislature and every House of Representatives and every United States Sen ate, and an omnipotent voice will ring down the sky and across this land and back again, saying to these rising tides of drunkenness which threaten to whelm home and church and nation: "Thus far sbalt thou come, bnt no further, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed." 1 have not in my mind a shadow of disheart enment as large as the shadow of a housefly's wing. My faith is in the upper forces, the up per armies of the text. God is not dead. The chariots are not unwheeled. If you would only pray .more and wash your eyes in the cool, bright water fresh from the w ell of Christian reform, it would be said of you. as of this one of the text: "The Lord opened the eyes of the young man: and he saw: and. behold, the mountain Was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha." When, the army of Antigonus went into bat tle his soldiers were very much discouraged, and thev rushed up to the General and said to him: "Don't you see we have a few forces and they bare so many more?" and the soldiers were affrighted at the smallness of their num ber and the greatness of the enemy. Antigo nus, their commander, straightened himself up and said, with indignation and vehemence: "How many do you reckon me to be?" And w hen we see the vast armies arrayed against the cause of souricty it may sometimes be very discouraging, but Task you in making up your estimate of the forces of righteousness I ask you how many do you reckon the Lord God Almighty to be? He is our commander. The Lord of Hosts is His name. I have the best authority for saying that the chariots of God, are 20,000, and the mountains are full of them. ME UPPEE FOECES. You will take without my saving it that my only faith is in Christianity and in the upper forces suggested in the text. Political parties come and go, and they may be right and they may be wrong, but- God lives, and'l think He has ordained this nation for a career of pros perity that no demagogism will be able to halt. I expect to live to see a political party which will have a platform of two planks: The Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount. When that party is formed it will sweep across this land like a tornado, I was go ing to say, but when I think it is not to be de vastation but resuscitation, I change the figure and say, such a party as that will sweep across this land like spice gales from heaven. Have you any doubt about the need of the Christian religion to purify and make decent American politics? At every yearly or quad rennial election we have in this country great manufactories, manufactories of lies, and they are run day and night, and they turn out half a dozen a day all equipped and ready for full sailing. Large lies and small lies. Lies pri vate and lies public and lies patient. Lies cut bias and lies cut diagonal. Long-limbed lies and lies with donble back action. Lies compli mentary and lies defamatory. Lies that some people believe, and lies that all the people be lieve, and lies that nobody believes. Lies with humps like camels and scales like crocodiles and necks as long as storks and feet as swift as an antelope's and stings like adders. Lies raw and scalloped and panned and stewed. Crawl, ing lies and jumping lies and soaring lies. Lies with attachment screws and rufflers and braiders and ready-wound bobbers. Lies by Christian people who never lie except during elections, and lies by people who always lie, but beat themselves in a Presidental cam paign. CAMPAIGN FILTH. I confess I am ashamed to have a foreigner visit this country in such times. I should think he would stand dazed, his hand on his pocket book, and dare not co out nights. What will the hundreds of thousands of foreigners who come here to live think of us? What a disgust they must have for the land of their adoption I The only good thing about it is, many of them cannot understand the English language. But I suppose the German and Italian and Swedish and French papers translate it all and peddle out the infernal stuff to their subscribers. Nothing but Christianity will ever stop such a flood of indecency. The Christian religion will speak after a while. The billingsgate and low scandal through which we wade every year or every four years, must be rebuked by that religion which speaks from its two great moun tains, from the one mountain Intoning the command, "Thou sbalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor," and from the other mount making plea for kindness and love and blessing rather than cursing. Yes, we are go ing to have a national religion. There are two kinds of national religion. The one is supported by the State, and is a matter of human politics, and it has great pat ronage, and under it men will struggle for prominence without reference to qualifica tions, and its archbishop is supported by a sal ary of 75,000 a year, and there are great Cathe drals, with all the machinery of music and canonicals, and room for a thousand people, yet an audience of 50 people, or 20 people, or 10, or 2. We want no such religion as that, no such national religion; bnt we want this kind of na tional religion the vast majority of the people converted and evangelized, and then they will manage the secular as w ell as the religious. A KATIOXAIi BELIGION PEACTICABLE. Do you say that this is impracticable? No. The time is coming just as certainly as there is a God and that this is His book, and that He has the strength and the honesty to fulfill His promises. One of the ancient Emperors used to pride himself on performing that which his counselors said was impossible, and I have to tell you to-day that man's impossibles are God's easies. "Hath He said and shall He not do it? Hath He commanded, and will he not bring it to pass?" The Christian religion is coming to take possession of every ballot box, of every schoolhouse. of every home, of every valley, of every mountain, of every acre of our natioual domain. This nation, notwith standing all the evil influences that are trying to destroy it, is going to live. Is ever since, according to John Milton, when "Satan was hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal skies in hideous ruin and combustion down," have the powers of darkness been so determined to win this continent as they are now. What a jewel it is a jewel carved in re lief, tho cameo of this planetl On one side of us the Atlantic ocean, dividing us from the worn out governments of Europe. On the other side the Pacific ocean, dividing us from the superstitions of Asia. On the north of us the Arctic tea, which is the gymnasium in which the explorers and navigators develop their courage. A continent 10.500 miles long, 17,000,000 square miles, and all of it but about one-seventh, capable of rich cultivation.

Who shall have the hemisphere? You and I will decide that, or help to decide it, by conscientious vote, by earnest prayer, by maintenance of Christian institutions, by sup port of great philanthropies, by putting body, mind and soul on the right side of ail moral, religious and national movements. Ahl it will not be long before it will not make any difference to you or to me what be comes of this continent, so far as earthly com fort is concerned. All we will want of it will be seven feet by three, and that will take in the largest, and there will be room and to spare. That Is all of this country we will need very soon the youngest of us. But we have an anxiety abont the welfare and the happiness of the generations that are coming on, and It will be a grand thing If, when the .archangel's trumpet sounds, wo find that our sepulcber. like the one Joseph of Arimathea provided for Christ, is in the midst of a garden. One of the seven wonders ot the world was the white marble watch tower of Pharos of Egypt. Sostratus, the architect and sculptor, after building that watch tower cut, his name on it. Then he covered it with plastering, and to please the King he put the monarch's name on the outside of the plastering: and the storms beat and the seas dashed in their fury, and they washed off the plastering, and they washed it out, and they washed it down, but the naino of Sostratus was deep cut in the imperishable rock. So across the face of this nation there have been a great many names written, across our finances, across our religions, names worthy of remembrance, names written on the archi tecture of our chnrches and our schools and our asylums and our homes of mercy, but GOD IS THE AECHITECT of this contlnent,and He was the sculptor of all its grandeurs, and long after through the wash of the ages and the tempests of centuries, all other names shall be obliterated, the divine signature and divine name will be brighter and brighter as the millenniums go by, and the world shall see that the God who made this continent has redeemed it by His grace from all its sorrows and from all its crimes. Have you faith in such a thing as that? After all the chariots have been unwheeled, and after all the war chargers have been crippled, the chariots which Elisha saw on the morning of his peril will roll on in triumph, followed by all the armies of heaven on white horses. God could do it without us, but He will not. The weakest of us, the faintest of us, the smallest brained of us. shall have a part in the triumph. 'We may uot have our name, like the name of Sostratus, cut in imperishable rock and con spicuous for centuries, but we shall be remem bered in a better place than that, even In the heart of Him Who came to redeem us and redeem the world, and our names will be seen close to the signature of His wound, for as to-day He throws ont His arms toward us. He says: "Behold, I havo graven tbee on the palms of My hand." By the mightiest of all agen cies, the potency of prayer, I beg you seek our national welfare. 'Some time ago there were 4,600.000 letters in the Dead Letter Postoffiee at Washington letters that lost their wav but not one prayer ever directed to the heart of God miscarried. The way is all clear for the ascent of your sup- S'ications heavenward in behalf of this nation, efore the postal communication was so easy, and long ago, on a rock 100 feet high, on the coast of England, there was a barrel fastened to a post, and in great letters od the side of the rock, so it could be seen far out at sea. were the words, "Postoffiee;" and when ships came by a boat put out to take and fetch letters, And so sacred were those deposits of affection in that barrel, that no lock was ever put on that barrel, although it contained messages for America and Europe and Asia and Africa, and all the islands of the sea. Many a storm-tossed sailor, homesick, got message of kindness by that rock, and many a homestead beard good news from a boy long gone,. Wonld that all the heights of our national prosperity were in interchange of sympathies prayers going up meeting blessings coming down; postal celes tial, not by a storm-struck rock on.a wintry coast, but by the Rock of Ages.

The aches and pains which she experienced in almost every part of her body was simply terrible. Those sharp, cutting pains across the small ot her back and lower part of her body was almost unbearable. In fact she suffered with all those diseases and conditions peculiar to women.

Drayer, a well known shoo dealer, had been afflicted with Club Foot fourteen years, causing great distress and annoyance to herself and family. There was such a contrac tion of the muscles that she couldnot straighten her limb, and although she wore the usual high beel shoe, it was impossible for her to bring her heel to the ground when walking. After suffering on in this condition for four teen years, she consulted one of the surgeons of the Polypathic Surgical Institute, and was convinced that It was xox too late to be cured. An operation was performed, and the deformity entirely removed, and although it is now three years since the operation, her cure has remained permanent. She walks perfectly, and has no further use for a high heel shoe.

Scores of invalids who are so weak and feeble that they have to be carried to the doc tor in chairs and on beds are restored to health in a short time.

Eakin, who resides at Eau Claire, Butler county. Pa., was a great sufferer for three years. He was carried to Dr. Smith, at No. 602 Penn avenue, in a hopeless condition. He'could not walk or more without the aid of two canes, and for the past year he had not been able to bend oVer sufficiently to wash his face. He was sufferine from what bad been pronounced by 12 eminent physicians as Esoas abcess. These physicians pronounced is case Incurable, and told him that there was no help for him. He then consulted Prof. Scott and Dudly Allen. M. D., of the Regular School of Medicine at Cleveland, O. Ihese eminent medical men gave him no encourage ment, as pus had, in their opinion, already formed. These are thestatements given to Dr. Smith by Mr. Eakin when he came for treat ment. After one magnetic treatment of about 15 minutes' duration, Mr. Eakin was able to bend over and pick up a pin from the floor and was able to walk without pain and without the use of his canes. Mr. E. remained in the city several days after receiving the treatment and was able to go about the city from day to day without never a sense of pain, weariness or lameness. He returned to Ills home, at Eau Claire last Saturday, and maybe referred to. Mrs. Gough was cured of dyspepsia and rheu matism by four magnetic treatments. These cures were performed without a single dose of medicine. Scores of cases equally as interest ing could be given if we had the time and space. Dr. Smith will deliver' an illustrated lecture to ladies and gentlemen at the Grand Opera House next Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The lecture will be free and every body is invited to attend. Dr. Smith cures all torms of female com plaints without the use of Instruments or ex posure of the person. He also cures piles and rupture without the use of the knife, or pain to the patient, nor detention from business. He treats and cures cancers in less time and with less pain than by any other known method. Dr. Smith is permanently located at 502 Penn avenue, where everybody can go from .9 A. M. till 7 P. M. The doctor consults free and cures after all other means fall. He treats every form of disease Known to humanity. Goto 5U2 Penn avenue and consult him if you wish to get well.
