Rev. Thomas de druchy, D. D., pas
tor of tho Jnckson Street Baptist
church, preached a sermon last oven
Inr? on "A Needed Revival In Patriot
ism," which was directly aimed at the
present movement for municipal re
form. Ills remarks were decidedly
pointed and were delivered to an nudl
ence that una composed of many
young men, who will eventually be
come factors In politics. The texts
were selected from II Samuel xxlll: 3-4,
nnd Psalml07:r. Durlnp the course of
his remarks he spoke as follows:
The conccptirn of fatherland In the mind ef
the Hebrew was nomcthltiK entirely unlike that

more Important, even the city of the crreat

earthly monarch, but wa the palaco of Je

text, It wn not simply th utterince of patriot

America reeds to understand vhtt patriotism

their material fesourei-s, or th fallln of armlet
that wrought their dissolution, but they laekrd
men, the man had become corrupted. It was
caused by the decay of patriotism In tha hearts
of thoto who were entrusted with publle respon.
riblllty. Their polleltlant were bounht and
sold ltk cattlo. And ao low wis tin concep
tion of patriotism that men would nil them
aelves their manhood.
It will not b because of tho barrwinem of
our lesourect that America will decoy, but be
cause of tho need of men with pure hearta and
noble souls by the political world Ood hat
hcn dethroned. When tho throes of death
seized Heme that flourished upon tho bankt tf
the Tiber, Home ncrcr bad greater munificence
or grandeur, but the dry rot of an Ignoble self
ishness had entered In the heart of her jiolltlcat
life, first In the hearts of her rulers, and
then In the people.
Iltr Filiate was turned Into a mart of trade
In which consulships and all political prefer
ment were sold for a price. Itoney had eotnn
to be the controlling element, and had morn
power than honor, and In thla unchanged prin
ciple lies a lesson of mcaaurrlcn solemnity for
America today.
We, too, hare lived to see the dav when men
In high places of our nation's honor reach forth
venal hands from purchased scatt to add to their
private fortunes; who, forgetful not only of
honor but of all decency unblushlngly use the
power given them hv their fellow men for the
purpose of stealing and selling themselves, and
the rights of the people, who coin tho good
name and the high rrlorv of their eountry Into
Ignoble ducata for the filling of their private
bigs Ami such a state of thlrgs which today
confronts the oiBcials placed In positions of trusti
by the people Is on omen of the gravest peril,
nnd betokens a swift comlttf disaster.
When men placed In oIKee sell themselves to
large corporations, who are easily bribed, wh.i
are In office not to fulfill a trust, but rather whi
are snaicd this way and that way, whichever
way If only they may be fed from the na.
tlonal crib (and If that was all; we would
gladly feed them), but without any scruples
of conscience, wait onlv to sell themselves.
This political crime It being tnacttd In open
da) light and boodlelsm without honor Is ram
pant From the senate down to common coun
cil comes to ut the atury of robbery In blip
and low- places In our national life.
TRl'STS ARK KtSOS.
To our shame, let It be said, tint very often
trusts are kings And that these with millions
of wealth hive dent- their share to corrupt our
political Hie. Shame Is Inflicted upon the na
tion by those who should be the guardians of
her honor. No nation that Is so dishonored by
Its servants, can lone; remain honorable or ra
end in the eyes of the people.
Ni thing but the scourging of these vllo harpies
from the table of national or city councils;
nothing but the swift and merciless reprobation
of these Judas Iscarlots can preserve the nation's
self nspect or keep her patriotic blood from
turning to wattr In her veins . ever In tho
history of all time wis there a louder call for a
revival of patriotism thir. the one which echoes
through our land todtr.
Hv the Incomparablo Iieauty and richnons of
our national heritige, by the traditions of all
our put, and by all tbo sublime hopes of our
future, by all the noblest lives sacrificed. Is ev
ery worthy citlten of this land called upon to
stind up, and while he holds up his right hand
unto Inarm take anew the oath of allegiance
and of loyalty unto America For we ore being
ravished nnd robbed of our honor by tho un
scrupulous demagogue.
We must need to stand and vlth a burning
torch of true patriotism, scorch and shrivel every
dsstird hand that Is open to receive or sell our
birthright. Men who hold oir.ee for what they
miv receive; who sell themselves unto shame,
who betriy our honor for gold, and who stand
to blast the rights of other men for dollars and
cents Dlignose the word patnot!m:
You will find thit tho greed of gain has made
It weak nnd Insipid, there Is no righteous back
bone in it For the mm of paltry dollars men
mock all rights and debiso themselves
In no time in our history hns money shown
such tremendous rapthllitr of assault, and In
no time In our history have we been In sueh
straits fir rrcn who can neither be bought or
sold. In the days of Penton and Calhoun and
Clay It wis not sol They were not above re
proach, thev were not Immaculate, but thcr did
not Inject the syphilis of official corruption In
the veins of their countrj's life. They did not
sell themselves; their honor was not In tho
mirkct. The; were not In league with the law
breakers Their hands were clean of boodlelsm
nnd they stood for the rights of the peopK

If our fortfatkrra wrrt to drop down en ut
they would be inured at the corruption, for In
deed the (loddess ef Liberty, as the stands otsr
us cries from her pedestal, "What erlrei-s aro
committed In my namaf" There seems to t
but one hepe for us, and tils It such revival
of patriotism as will lift us abova party Influ
ence, and the bringing together of the remnant
of the true and decent wen, who will not only
deliver orations about our heroic dead, but
who will be willing to lay down their personal
life for the wclfara of the whole nation.
Then no man with unclean lands will bo
given a place of honor or reaponslblllty, Why
should not lawlessness, Sabbath breaking and
atloon drinking be put downf Ilecauw men In

plunderers.
The tlmo hat coma when honest men who
hava thought that polltlct were a cesspool of
corruption, can step out and take their placet
In the political arena. They must come from
their business, and homes, and their retreata
and quit their lamentations and plant their feet
uKn a righteous plank, This It our land and
there never was a fairer land. It Is our herit
age; her corne stones were laid In faltti ev
niented together with tears and prayer.
Must the poison of putrid political llfo Infest
this domain! Must trust so grand, mint hema;o
so rich be spoiled and hawked out by men who
can concelse of nothing higher than money; by
men baser than Home's low-browed heathen who
arc only In office to bleed our nation? I would
have vou know that this decay means death.
It took Home three hundred years to die but
It won't take us so long to die.
America, child whose cradle God did nxk,
youth's whose hands are full of freedom's fruit,
for which the earth doth watt, mav thy man
hood wear the benediction of the divine care
and thlre age the crown of the divine blesjlng.
Oh, thou beloved land; let an earthquake come
to bury all Injustice and then cruwn us with
manhood's completeness.
GOD DBTimONHD.
God has been dothrvneil In American
politics, and tho only reformation that
can come 3 with GuJ In tho hearts of
tho American politicians. Wo want
youtiK men to go Into the political
arena with God In their hearta. No
nation can remain honored long wherf
corruption exists. A man who buys or
Bells another ought to be exiled for life.
We are In need of men who cannot be
bouRht. Tho laA3 of tho land cannot
bo enforced because men In ofllco arc
In leagun with the corruptlonlsts.
Nothing will kill thla nation quicker
than the man who Is placed In an ofllcp
nnd sells his vote. A revival of true
patriotism Is needed, r would advls"
young men to enter political life. God
has some good men left yet. It It In
the homo where tho futuro politician
Is trained. No man Is too good to take
hold of political life for God's sake.
Tho troublo lies In the fact that wo
too frequently leave our politics In the
hands of the political huckster, to be
bought and sold, and the man who
bribes and sells his birthright it the
meanest man that ever lived. May God
hasten the day when American politics
will bo purllled by clean hands.
KAMOUS WELSH PUHACIinn,
Hev. Charles Davis, of Cardiff, South
Wales, preached to three large audi
ences yesterday in the morning and
evening at tho First Baptist church,
and In tho afternoon at the Taber
nacle Congregational church. At tho
evening service ho spoke at some
length In English and mndo a very
favorable Impression.
His theme was a beautiful ono and
the I3lblic.il truths were explained In
a masterly manner. "We must honor
tho Lord Jesus Christ if wo want to
bo saved," ho said, "and wo must
work along that lino If wo want to
glorify God. He sanctifies, comfo-ts.
strengthens and leads the church and
when the church Is in a low stato and
full of fear, care and Indifference, the
spirit gives new life to the church and
holds It up to its proper place.
"Justification by faith means that tho
sinner can got saved by believing in
Christ, and It is some new aspect of
Christ in revivals that Inspires new
llfo and hope In tho believer. The want
of faith In the son of God is the great
truth that Is brought to us today. Tho
wholo truth Is by revealing the glory
nnd poer of Jesus Christ in order to
turn people to Christ."
Hev. Davis met many old acquaint
ances during the day and received a
cordial welcome among the Welsh peo
ple. Jle will leave this mornintr 'or
I'iinaueipma.

AN ECHO OF THE STORM.-
An amusing Incident occurred Sat
urday evening on Plttston nvenue,
during the heavy thunder storm,
which, no doubt, was not quite so
amusing to tho participant as It was
to the onlookers. It wna nt tho height
of tho storm, and a stranger in tho
city would have taken Plttston ave
nue for Roaring brook, when a young
man, neitly dressed and who, from
appearances, was going to seo his best
girl, dashed frantically down Willow
fctrt-et, trying to Intercept ft north
bound car, which was coming up
Plttston avenue like the steamship St.
Paul breasting a nor'easter.
Hut tho pilot of the miniature whale
back failed to see or hear the young
man, and, as If desirous of getting In
out of the wet as quickly as possible,
continued sailing up Plttston nvenuo
at a fairly rapid rate of speed. Tho
young man, having visions of unpleas
ant scenes If he failed to keep tho
appointment, dashed heroically after
the car, caring neither for mud nor
water. Rut here is where tho tragedy
begins. 'He no doubt would have
reached the car but for a large stone
which lay In his path. Swish! A dull
thud nnd gentlo rivulets trickled up
his coat sleeves nnd played with his
hair, and his nice new straw hat float
ed Blowly down tho street.
Thoso on the porches nearby, de
lighted at tho downfall of another,
smiled. Yea, some of them even
laughed aloud in their Satanic Sflee.
Ho picked himself up, not the dapper,
smiling young fellow who ran down
tho street, but like a mortal weary
of this earth's buffetlngs and knocks
and wnnderfd off Into tho exterior
darkness. Somewhere In Sorn.iton
that night a demure little Miss, won
dered why Jack didn't come.
