If In other aermona I ahowod you what wa
the evil that threatened to upwt and demol
ish American Inrtifutlona, I am encouraged
more than I can tell you aa I aee the regi
tnonU wheeling down the aky, and my lere
min i turn tnto doxoloiea, and that which
waa the Good Friday of the nation' crucifix
Ion becomes the KaMer morn of ita resurrec
tion. Of coume God work through human
Instnimentalities, and thl national better
ment 1 to come among other thitiK through
acrutlnixed ballot box. By the law of reg
it juration It la almot Impoasible now to have
Illegal voting. There waa a time you
and I remember it very well when drove
of vagabond, wandered up and down on
election day and from jxill to poll, and
voted here and voted there, and voted
everywhere, and there waa no challenge; or,
if there were, it amounted to nothing, lie
cause nothing could ao auddenly lie proved
upon the vagabond. Now, In .very well
organised nelghWhood, .very votur i
watched with aeverest scrutiny. I must
tell the regirtrar my name, and how
old I am, and how long I have re
Kiled In the 8tato, and how long I have re
sided in the ward or township, and if I mis
represent, fifty witnesses will rise and shut me
out from the ballot Imx. Is not that a grent
advance? Aud then notice the law that pro
hibit. man voting it he has liet on the elec
tion. A atop further need to lie taken and
that man forbidden a vote who has offered or
taken a bribe, whether It be in the shnpe of a
free drink or cah paid down, the auspicious
cases obliged to put their hnmi on tin Bililc
nnd swear their vote in if they votu nt all.
ho through the nacred chest of our nation'
suffrage redemption will come.
God also will save this nation through mi
aroused moral sentiment. There has never
lu-eii so much discussion of morals and im
morals. Men. whether or not th.-v ncknow I
c.Ik'c what is right, have to think w hat it
nvtiit. We have men who luie had their
hands in public treasury the most of their
lifetime, stealing nil they could lav th-ir
hands on. disomming do-picntlv ntH-ttt lis

nation as never Is-fote, nnd to take a ( art 111

If you would only pray more mid wiu.li your
eves in tin cool bright, water, frcsti from
tiie well of (.'hristian reform, it would Is- said
of you as of thi one of the text : "The It.I

Wlu-iithc nrmy of Antignnus went into

hinis.-lf up nnd wiiil, with imiig-iatioti nnd
Vchenii-nce: "How many do you reckon lie.
to be?" And when we see the vnst nrmies
arrayed against the cause of sobriety it iiiuv
sometimes lie very discouraging, but I asi;
you in making up your estimate of tlie forces
of righUsiusness 1 ask you how ninny do v.ni
reckon the Ijord Uil Almighty to !? if-- is

that the chariots of God arc t .ventv trioii

You will take without my saying It that
my onlv faith is in Christianity and in tin
npMr force nugested in tho text. Political
parties isiiiio oi'.d go, and they may In- right
and tln-y mav be wrong; hut G.sl lives and
1 think Ho lias onlain.il this nation for u
i-aiMV of prosperity that no ileinaoxism

political tui'ty which will have a pstform of
two plank the Ten ('ommtinilmeiitsutid tho

formed it will sweep across this l-uiil, like a
loniailo I was going to say, but when 1 think
it is not to li. il vnstution, but tv.-uscit.ition,
I change the llnura and say, su. ii 11 party as
that will sweep iter.), this laa 1 hi;j spied

Have you any doubt aboui tli" tu-t .1 of the

and froi 11 the other mount making plea for

There aro two kinds of national religion.
The one is upxirtej by the State, and U a
matter of human politic, and it has great
patronage, and imilcr it men will struggle for
prominence without refereiice to (pialitica
tain, aud it archbishop is supported by a
salary of tTn.OOH a year, and there ore great
cathedrals, with all the machinery of music
land canonicals, and room for a thousand h
pie, Tut au audience of fifty ooplo or twenty
Kople or ten or two.
Ve wont no such roligiou a that, no WK'h
nutloual religiou; but we want this kind of
national religion; the vast majority of the
MHiple isinvertetl and evangelirtsl, and t lieu
they will maiiuge the secular a well a the
religiou.
Do you say that this U impracticable? No.
The time 1 coming Just a certainly a there
is a God and tlmt tliuti Ilia book and that He
ha the strength ami the hotiukty to fulfill Hi
promise. One of the ancient Emperor used
to pride himself on performing that which
hi counselor said waa Impossible, and I tiave
to tell you to-day that man'a iniptmsihle are
OtsJ's eosie. "tlath He said and shall He not

corning to take possession of every ballot box,
of .very school house, of every home, of every
vallev. of everv mountain, of every acre of
our national domain. This nation, notwith
standing all the evil influence that are trying
to destroy it. Is going to live.
Never since, according to John Milton,
when "Satan was hurled headlong flaming
from the ethereal skies in hideous ruin anil
combustion down," have the powers of dark
ness been so determined to win this continent
as they are now. What a jewel it is a jewel
carved in relief, the cameo of thi planet 1
On one side of us the Atlantic ocean, dividing
u from the worn out governments of Kurope.
On the other side the Facifio ocean, dividing
it from the superstitions of Asia. On the
north of us the Arctic sea, which is the gym
nasium in which the explorers r nd navigators
develop their -mrage. A continent ten thou
sand five hundred miles long, seventeen
million square miles, and all of it but
atsmt one-seventh capable of rich culti
vation. One hundred millions of popula
tion on this continent of North and South
America on. hundred million, and room
for many hundred million more. All flora
and all fauna, all metal and all precious
woods, and all grain and all fruit. Th.
Appalachian range the Imckbotie. and the riv
er the ganglia carrying life ail through and
out to the extremities. Isthmus of I)arien
the narrow waitst of a giant continent, all to
be under one government, and all free, and
all Christian, and the scene of Christ's p-r-sonal
reign on earth if, according to the ex
pectation of many good people, be shall at
last set up his throne in this world. Who
shall leave this hemisphere, Christ or Satan?
Who shall have the snore of her Inland sea,
the silver of her Nevedas, the gold of her Col.v.
radon, the telescope of her observatories, tin
brain of her univemitie, the wheat of her
prairies, the rice of her savannas, the two
gn-at ocean Iwiche tbe one reaching from
Itnltln's bay to Terra del Ku-go. ond, th.
other from Ilehring strait to Cam Horn
nnd all the normal and temporal and spiritual
nnd everlasting interest of n jsiptilation
ast U-yotid all human computation" Who
shall have the hniiisiirrc? Yil and I will
ilis-tde that, or help to il"-iil it by coiisclen
tioii vote, by cT-nest prayer, by maintenance
of Christian institutions by support of great
philanthropies, by putting Issiy, mind and
M ill on the right side of a'l moral, relt tious
mid national movement ...
Alii it will not be long before it will not
tnake any-difference to y..ii or to me w hat I

Have you faith in such a thing as that
After nil the chariots have ls-en iiuwlui-ied,
ami after all the war chargers have been
?rippl.l, the chariot which Klisha saw on
the morning of his p-ril will roll on in tri

jn white horses. Gisl could do it w ithout us,
imt He will not. Tho weakest of 11. the
faintest of us, the smallest brauinl of us,

Some time ago there were 4.iiim,iio letter

" I 8 I'nto Yon All, Watch," Mark
Sill., 2l-a7-Oolden Text t Mark
Sill., 83 Explanatory Note..
TTils Is a (sfttitlnuatlon of the sermon, th.
Seginnlng of which we had in last week's l.w
inn; the Saviour is sitting iimn the Mount of
Olives over against the tctnpln, tho disciple
are with Him, Jerusalem Is before them ami
little Ivneath them if they are on the top of
Olivet, and as He answer tho question of
th. four (v. lii.), He sees in prophetic vision
all the future of the nation of Israel and
tbelr Holy City, and with special reference to
thorn He is speaking.
1H "In those dnya, after that tribulation.'
In vs. W He had simken of it as an aillictiott
or tribulation such as never had lvn licforo
oor ever will be again, llocause of the very
Ijreat sufferings of the peoiile, as recorded itt
ilstor y at the time Jeriisnlem fell, A. 1). 70,
I here are many who think that that was th.
great tribulation here referred to; but 8cri
lure Is a better expositor of Hcriptnr than
any history ixwsihly con lie, and however
(rcat were the allliclions of the people at thai
time, our lesson todny in the lightoprophecy
makes it very dear that the tribulation here
poken of is yet future ond will come in t ho
last week of Daniel's prophecy, the last seven
years of Israel history ere the kingdom Ii
restored to her.
